A Bystander a Downstander and An Upstander

Up-standers ask a bully to please stop. But not in a bullying voice. Understand? Head nod. Down-standers join the bully. They call the victim names too Scared they will be the next target if they do not. Cowards. By-standers stand by, Trying to ignore what is happening, feeling badly later Wishing they had been an up-stander. So what do you want to be? An Up-Stander, a Down-Stander or a By-Stander? “I want to be a run-a-way-er,” he said, demonstrating.
