Would you say something if you saw someone being bullied?

Lets say you’re walking along somewhere, and you see a group of kids bullying and teasing someone else and they appear upset over it. Would you stop and say something or mind your own business and keep going?

By nature im a confrontational kind of person, thus my career choice in the Infantry, so yes I would say something and most likely do what was needed to stop the incident from continuing.



There are however a lot of people who avoid making a stand, its called the Bystander Effect, a very strange social behavior.

I'm not sure. If it was somebody I knew, I probably would. Chances are if it was a random bunch of people who are bigger than me, no I wouldn't. Humans are pretty fantastic at generating excuses for not confronting people though.
