We all need a shoulder to cry on every now and then. Bullying is occurring in schools across America, and teens need to start helping those who need it most. We need to start taking action and stop being petrified to fight for what we consider right. Nonetheless, I admit that perhaps before experiencing these moments of bullying with my friend I would have frozen in a moment in which I needed to act. It is daunting to resist an intimidating attacker. The fear of being a victim yourself can overwhelm your desire to intervene and help. We are inclined to protect ourselves and then protect others, but our self comes first. But on the other hand, if one person comes forward, the result will be that others will follow him and the bullying chain will develop.
