Conflict Resolution

This weekend i saw on TV a PSA of sorts, that demonstrated a way of getting someone that is being bullied, away from the bully. The video showed a group of young kids and one being bullied, and other kids watching. The narrator of the video proceeded to say things about how bullying is bad. then offered a solution to get the victim away from the bully. He sed walk up to the kid, and start to walk away from the area talking to him. this is to shut down the bully and i think also to back up the victim. This method i think would work best when there is one bully and not a group of bullies. And the more people that approach and help the victim leave the better, because i do not think the bully will continue to bully when his target has more people on his side. From the prespective of the suporters, whom ever you help in a way owes you something in return. Im not talking about money or something big, but possibly support for when you are being bullied. Too all you bullies out there just know there are people that will be there to back up your victom. So avoied the situation and just stop bullying all together. And you probly have a lot in common with the victom, so be nice.
