    UNDERSTANDING THE ROLES IN BULLYING

                      Although bullying is clearly wrong, knowing how to respond when you witness it can be difficult.

                      You may fear becoming a target yourself, especially if the bully has a group of friends who might
                      turn against you. When bullying or other mean behaviour takes place, there are typically four
                      types of people involved:

                          The Aggressor: The person or group doing the bullying.
                          The Victim: The person being bullied.

                           The Bystanders: People who see what’s happening but don’t always intervene.

                           The Upstanders: Those who witness the bullying and choose to step in and help in a positive way.
                      Understanding these roles can guide you in knowing how to respond when you encounter bullying.

                                                                                                  21 st   #Information Literacy
