You might be saying but its not my fault that theres bulying at school, but you do have responsibility. You might be the bully, victim , or the witness , but all have such as same responsibility. Witnesses have the responsibility to warn teachers or adults what is happening, or to help the victim. If you are a victim your responsibility is to not let the bully do what he wants with you and you might say the witness to help you tell the teachers the situation. The bully is the one who have the most responsibility, is the one who is starting the bullying , the responsibility of the bully is to stop the bullying and with that action the bully may stop.

In fact, the amount of bullying occurring in a school can actually be lessened depending on how students deal with it. You may be wondering who these other students are if they are not bullies or victims. They are the //witnesses// to bullying behavior, and may also be called "the caring majority," "bystanders," "helpers," or "onlookers." ======

[|Witnesses of bullying have the power - S.A.V.E]
This makes sense because a witness could think of themselves as a lifesaver to victims who are being bullied. Just like a lifesaver or life preserver can save someone who is in danger of drowning, a witness can help a victim who is in danger of "drowning" in the mean words and actions from a bully.Report the bullying to an adult, and do so immediately if the situation is very serious. Remember that unreported bullying will keep on happening.

you may be thinking but what is our responsability? what are the responsibility of the teachers? so hear is you answer:

Bullying on campuses not only affects immediate victims, but alters the entire school climate. Witnesses can suffer as well.

**Bully Supporters ** **Passive Supporters ** **Interveners **
 * Incite the bully without taking part in the confrontation.
 * Don’t interact with the victim.
 * Create a supportive environment for the bully.
 * Are influenced by the bully’s appreciation of their efforts.
 * Are uninvolved in the confrontations.
 * Are perceived by the victim as bully supporters based on their lack of interaction.
 * Step in on behalf of the victim.
 * Stick up for the victim.
 * Are motivated by a sense of injustice.

Administrators and teachers need to know the kinds of witnesses in each case as well as the types of bullies and victims. If the witnesses are bully supporters, the school must deal with them to alleviate the problem. If administrators reprimand a bully but not his supporters, harassment of the target individual will likely continue. These findings underscore the importance of school-wide programs that promote character and teach all students why bullying is wrong and can affect everyone.

**The Teacher’s Role ** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">Teachers can reinforce or even trigger a cycle of bullying. They have power, and any time they single out a student even with a humorous remark that might not have been ill-intentioned there may be repercussions. Not only might that child feel alienated, but it could open the door to student ridicule at recess.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">Teachers can use sarcasm as a humorous tool with students, but students tend to model what teachers do, especially in the primary grades. If a teacher calls a student a funny nickname that bothers the student, that’s bullying. Unfortunately, teachers don’t always realize the power they possess.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">Teachers have been known to use harmful, humiliating strategies to get students on task. If students are not following along during a group reading activity, for example, making them stand or badgering them can invite teasing from other students later. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">previous knowledge:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">if you are a victim a bully or even more a witness you need to make decisions, important decisions you need to stop bullying and take place of it, if you want you can send a card to the principal telling that you want to make a anti-bullying groups, always remember that your responsibility is not to kept quiet you need to tell someone you need to know:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">FOR:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Bullying is wrong, and should never be kept secret.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">when you tell on a bully, you stop something bad from happening.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">AGAINST:


 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">if you tell on a bully, next time they might pick on you
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">people should learn to stand up for themselves.
