The big bad bully......

Olweus defines school bullying in a general way as "repeated negative, ill-intentioned behavior by one or more students directed against a student who has difficulty defending himself or herself. Most bullying occurs without any apparent provocation on the part of the student who is exposed."
Bullies tend to exhibit the following characteristics:

They have a strong need to dominate and subdue other students and to get their own way
Are impulsive and are easily angered
Are often defiant and aggressive toward adults, including parents and teachers
Show little empathy toward students who are victimized
If they are boys, they are physically stronger than boys in general

What would you do if someone is bullying someone you do? Do you look away or save the day?

Does this look or sound like anyone you know? Think hard, maybe look in the mirror?
