The bully

Bullies bully sometimes because they feel like they are unimportant and not popular, so they want to feel like they are popular. Others may bully because they are having a bad day, angry at the victim or are being bullied themselves. So, now, you may be feeling sorry for the bully. Even if you do, that is no excuse for the bad things that they do. 

The victim

The victims do not stand up for themselves because they feel like the bully will get even more angry and bully them more. The victim often does not want to tell an adult or let anyone know because they are scared that the bully will find out that the victim told an adult and will get even more angry. 

The bystander

Bad bystander

The bad bystander joins in with the bullying because they do not want the bully to turn against them when standing up for the victim. 

Good bystander

The good bystander stands up to the bully because the good bystander does not want people to be rude to each other.
