Do you know the difference between a bystander and an upstander? A bystander is someone that does not speak up or act when they see acts of intolerance taking place. They just go about their business. An upstander is someone who takes action when they see an act of intolerance take place. Remember, to be an upstander you do not have to even say a word your actions can be as simple as not laughing at someone or holding someone’s hand to show support. So are you a bystander or an upstander?

My upstander quote is about not having anybody stop you or put you down. “Let the train keep moving, don’t let anyting stop it.”
The peer mediators and I wrote some upstander qoutes that we would like to share with you. Here are the ones that i wrote. “Don’t fit in … Stand out”. “Taking chances can lead to a life full of surprises”. “Live your life to the fullest… without a fear in the way”. “Don’t let a bully ruin your day…Stand up for yourself even if your scared”. “There was a fuzzy bear,who didn’t have a fear to stand up in what he belived in”. Tell me what you think!

“when you see some one being bullied, don’t be a little cub with no roar,be a full grown lion and roar and let them know you won’t let them bully anymore.
“Don’t let people get pushed around, so you should stand up for them!”
Dom’t ignore me
I know you see me
Nobody wants to be me
I’m in pain, and this isn’t a game.
I don’t let anyone push me.
That sounds sad I sometimes feel alone to but then I remember I’m surrounded by kids that I can play with so it’s really easy.
Iam an bystander.
