8. How do you react when you see bullying?
   
I turn away and ignore the situation (2) OR
 
I report it immediately to a teacher, member of the School Council or an adult (-3) OR
 
I shout at or attack the bully to make them stop (1)
 
I sometimes join in the bullying (3)

Bullying is not something we can afford to ignore as it causes agony for the victims. Bullying on a global scale, where one group of people abuses another, can cause huge suffering. This means that bullying has a bad impact on the world and increases the footprint. If you are sometimes involved in bullying, or worse if you enjoy bullying, you need to talk to a teacher or responsible adult about it so that you can work out ways to tackle the problem. We need to act to stop bullying but confronting the bully by shouting or attacking is not the best solution. This means you act in the same way as the bully, and remember, an eye for an eye just makes both go blind! The best way to sort it is report it!
