You may not know what to do if you witness bullying. It may make you feel depressed or worried. You may not feel safe. These feelings may make you want to join in the bullying, or be silent, so as not to get bullied yourself. Or maybe the bullying makes you so angry that you stand up to the bully yourself. The best, and the safest thing to do is always to bring the bullying to the attention of an adult, who will put a stop to it.

This is usually enough to cause a predator to change his mind about having porcupine for dinner.
