I think back to the times when I am sure that someone was being teased or bullied and I said nothing because I wasn't on the receiving end that day. I can't remember specifics but I am sure that aside from the stress and fear of being picked on, I probably felt relief that it was someone else and not me for the moment. I wish that I could have shown more courage at those moments.

I think many of us feel the same.
It’s hard when you are naturally shy and young. One can only hope that maturity gives some added courage.
