These are the stories of action told by five participants in this research study. These five stories capture the experiences of what it was like to be a non-bystander to bullying. These students were interviewed about their experiences and their stories have been written by the researcher. As much as possible, the actual words of the students from their interviews were used. Parts of the interview were left out and sometimes a word or two was added or deleted to make the stories easier to read. The names of the students have been changed so that they will remain anonymous.

As you read their stories, ask yourself if you have had similar feelings or thoughts when you witnessed an instance of violence or injustice. What can you learn from the stories of these students?
