Based on what I've see in our school and other schools I also attend the people that's most likely to side on this kind of issue are the one that think their better than the rest because of how they look at them. People that  most likely to take a stand against bullying are the ones that sees it happening and wants to be a bystander and speak out about it.

The support systems around a student can make an enormous difference in how harmful bullying is. A close friend, safe places to stay, other positive experiences, another friendship group to join, or students who say something supportive or positive can all reduce the impact of bullying, and can stop it happening again.

Bullying is always an unpleasant experience. It is important to support resilience in students and assist them working through these experiences, learning to trust others, and developing friendships.

A positive school climate is a critical part of the 'protective' system around an individual student.

Bullying implicates a breadth of federal and state laws and policies. In this chapter, the committee provides an overview of relevant laws and policies that relate to bullying at the federal and state level and discusses selected litigation efforts aimed at addressing bullying. The committee also reviews recent research on the impact of state anti-bullying laws and policies on bullying, as well as the implementation of these laws and policies, and discusses existing gaps in this literature that warrant additional research. This implicates that many are aware of the problem but the enforcement of the solution is not well enforced because it's still a big problem in our community
