what do i do if i hear "popular people" gossiping about my best friend?

STICK UP FOR THEM! and trust me, i know its easier said than done. i know how intimidating that popular crowd can be. but this is your best friend, dont let that group tear them apart. even if it is the prom queen or the quarterback of the football team and you'd like nothing better then to not piss them off, they're bullying your friend. and by you just letting them, that'd make you a bystander. for all of those who havnt heard this term before, a bystander is someone who stands idly by while bullying is going on. a lot of times, bystanders are considered as guilty as the bully. but also, it'd be best not to make a huge scene. just say "hey look, that person is my friend and i'd really rather you not talk about them that way". in a calm manner, you get the point across without completly enraging anyone. also, its your choice or not whether you want to tell the friend what the other kids said. that part's up to you. leave a comment if you want and i really hope this helped!
