Hurtful bystanders, for instance, are those who instigate the bullying by probing the
bully to begin, or by cheering and making comments that further stimulate the bully.
Bystanders of this category may even join in the bullying once it has begun. Other
forms of hurtful bystander just passively accept bullying incidents by watching and
doing nothing. This silent acceptance or this uncovered endorsement encourages
bullies to continue their hurtful behaviour.
Helpful bystanders, on the other hand, take the decision to directly intervene by
discouraging the bully, defending the victim or redirecting the situation away from
bullying. Other helpful bystanders take action and get help by asking support from
peers to stand up against bullying or by reporting the bullying to adults.
