Have you ever been slapped in the face, looked around and saw how many kids saw it happen, and no one say anything to you? Bullying is something that middle-schoolers encounter on most days of their lives. Being an upstander in a urban middle school is one of the hardest and riskiest things a person could do. If I were to try to convince a friend to become an upstander, I would encourage them to tell an adult, have them pretend that it was their sibling being bullied, and risk being a person who stands up for what is right with the known consequence of taunting and ridicule.
