Bystander Behavior

What have you been a bystander to? What event do you wish a bystander had stepped in? Why do you think college students don’t speak up against wrong doing?


I have been a bystander to people talking behind others backs.  It is not a serious life affecting moment, but it is still something that should not go un-contested.  I wish a bystander had stepped into a situation I was in when they knew what I was saying was correct, but they didn't want to speak up because everyone else was against the idea.  It made the effect on me harder than if they had supported by side.  The common response of a college student when faced with the situation of speaking up, is that someone else will do it.  They most likely don't think it's their place to say something, or if they do then they may be judged for it.
