Even if you can’t interrupt bullying in the moment, you can offer sympathy to someone who has been bullied, after the fact. This week, tell someone who has been bullied recently that you saw what happened and feel bad about it. You can say, “You didn’t deserve that. How are you feeling?” or “I saw what happened, and it wasn’t right.” Even if the bullying happened a long time ago, you can still reach out. Late is better than never.
