Don’t be a Bystander

be an Upstander!

Kevin sends his friend José a short video he made

at home, a reenactment of a famous fantasy movies

scene. José, laughing at how Kevin looks, shows it

to some other boys at school. The boys laugh at

Kevin too, and then decide to post it on a YouTube.

Millions of people then view Kevin’s video. Nasty

comments are posted. Every day, Kevin goes online

to check the site and sees more comments like

“idiot” and “fat nerd.” Every day, he goes to school

and hears similar cruel comments from his

classmates.

Who are the bystanders?

What would you do if you were a bystander?

What would you say to José if you wanted him to stop?

What would you say to Kevin or do for him to show your support for him?

What could you say to the other kids at school who viewed the video

and left cruel comments?

How could you have involved a trusted adult?

Don’t Be a Bystander!

In this true story, many people contributed to the

cyberbullying. But there were many more kids who knew

about the situation but chose not to get involved. Kids who

are not cyberbullying but who see, hear, or know about it are

called bystanders. In this situation, kids in school who

witnessed the abuse and kids online who viewed the video

were bystanders.
