Stand Up! Don't Stand for Homophobic Bullying video

This video was about standing up against bullying; and in particular, bullying people who are homosexual.  The people in Ireland in this video uses a nonviolent method to stand up for a gay guy who is being bullied by other kids.  Bullying in general, no matter who it is, is not right and should not be done at all.  If it does happen, then the best way fight against it is by standing up to them and not being afraid to do so.  Most people experience bullying at some point in their lives; but if we stand up and say, "Hey, that's not right", then bullying will not become a problem in the world.  Bullying happens mostly among ones peers and the victum will feel helpless.  If we can stop bullying, then people will have higher self esteem and not be afraid of someone  who's bigger than them.  There are many nonviolent methods that people can utilize to fight against bullying.  The main one is just standing up to bullies, and it has a better effect if more and more people take part in standing up against bullying.

  1. Sadly when we witness some type of bullying all we do is feel sorry for that person, or we even get involved in the bullying in a way to make ourselves feel 'cool' it happened to me all the time. But there are more of us that do know that bullying is wrong, and if we do what you said, stand up for what is right then the bullies will have no one to turn to. I like your post
