Step 1: The most important thing that someone can do to care for the people around them is to pay attention. Educate yourself on bullying, how it affects the victim, and common warning signs that bullied children exhibit. Keep in mind that everyone is different and that not everything may apply to one person.
Step 2: If you have seen or think that someone you care about is being bullied, make sure let a a trusted adult know. Don't simply brush off the interaction as something that the child will "get over" because many bully victims never do.
Step 3: Share and educate others about bullying and its affects on children. It is essential that this topic is understood, that all bullies are held accountable for their actions, and that victims feel comfortable enough to ask for the help that they need physically and mentally.
