What can you do?

• It might seem obvious, but don’t be a bully. Keep personal opinions about others off of social media, and keep in mind that everyone deserves respect.

• Bullying is never funny. Do not feed the egos of those who seek attention off of the suffering of others. Laughs in the hallway support bullying as much as a “like” of Facebook.

not be a silent observer. Take action against hate and stand up for basic human dignity.
