What is the primary action to take if you witness bullying?

Telling an adult everything you saw is the primary action to take if you witness bullying because it ensures that the situation is addressed by someone who has the authority and capability to handle it effectively. Adults, such as teachers, school administrators, or counselors, are trained to deal with bullying situations in a way that promotes safety and resolution for everyone involved. Reporting the incident can lead to appropriate interventions that not only protect the victim but also seek to educate the bully on their behavior.

In contrast to the correct choice, ignoring the situation or walking away does not help the victim and can allow the bullying to continue. Confronting the bully directly can escalate the situation and may put the witness in harm's way, while creating a distraction might provide a temporary solution but does not resolve the issue or provide support to the victim. Reporting the incident is a proactive step that contributes to a safer and more respectful environment for all individuals involved.
