Many people are afraid to stop shielding or report it for two reasons. First, fear that you will be the next target, secondly you don't know what to do when you see bullying.
What should I do if I see bullying?
According to research in the Journal of Human Relations, those who saw bullying or witness intimidation at work tends to want to resign quickly, even though they are not the target. In order for you not to be a silent witness, here are things you can do when you see bullying as reported by Psychology Today.
1. Record each event
Record every shielding event that you witness every day. Record what the bullying actors did and said to the victims.
You don't need to keep on watching until it's suspected, you just need to record what you happen to witness. Don't just note when these perpetrators commit physical violence. Also note the things related to the action bullying like messing up the bag of victims, spreading slander, and so on.
2. Collect evidence
If you see bullying and find something that can be evidence either in the form of recordings, photographs or objects, keep the evidence as good as possible. You will never know when you will need it later. Make it folder specifically on laptops or cellphones to store this evidence.
If the evidence is in the form of an object, keep it in a special place to store it. Make sure you store it in a safe place. Besides that, there is no need to tell many people that you have collected a lot of evidence. All you need to know are the victims or the authorities. For example HR manager, boss, or police.

Whenbullyinghappens, you don't need to act heroically to save the victim from the situation. There is actually an actor's ego hurt so he will take revenge in an unexpected way. For example, when you go to the kitchen, you see your co-worker is beingbullyby his boss.
You can simply distract the offender by asking him to chat or pretend to look for certain cutlery and ask the help of the perpetrator to look for him. If the offender doesn't pay attention to you, you can help the victim by saying, "Eh, you are looking for Mr. Fajar, you know. It seems like I want to discuss your proposal yesterday. "That way, the victim will have a reason to immediately leave the perpetrator.
4. Looking for help
Admittedly, it feels hard to help victimsbullyingalone. This is why it is important for you to seek support and assistance from people who are also sick of seeingbullyingdone every day. The more help you manage to gather, the longer the repairmanbullywill be outnumbered. This will also help victims not to feel alone especially until they are ostracized.
5. Talk to someone who can stop bullying
Victims of bullying often feel afraid to talk, they are afraid that you will not defend or feel neglected if they talk about this. If this is the case, you can directly talk to someone you feel can stop this bullying.
If at the office, you can speak to HRD or authorized supervisor. If on campus, you can speak to the head of the study program, and if it happens in your neighborhood, report it to the local RT or RW leader. As a third party or witness, you are in a better position to provide an objective explanation of the negative behavior.
Stopping bullying starts with yourself
Many of you may have noticed bullying. Whether it's on campus, office, or around your neighborhood. During this time you may choose to ignore this and pretend not to know. However, this means you are the same as the perpetrator who keeps the victim oppressed and humiliated.
The problem is, most actors think that their actions can be justified. For example, because he felt that indeed all of these were wrong victims who were too weak or annoying. Therefore, you and the people around you must expressly show a sense of not accepting and dislike the actions of the perpetrators. Show that shielding is indeed unacceptable in your social sphere.
