Below is a chart provided by "stopbullying.gov". This chart contains steps people can take if they notice or think they notice acts of bullying. Perhaps this chart should be posted in all schools and in the workplace. If charts similar to these were found in schools and the workplace, perhaps there would be less bullying or at least the effects of bullying would be diminished since victims and/or bystanders would know the proper steps they should take.
