stand up for those who can not stand up for themselves

Often I notice that people talk and gossip and I am sure I have done my part (I hope a tiny little part) at times. Above all, I notice that I find it difficult to say something about it when I disapprove, sort of going along with the group opinion; that’s the save way. So instead of the passive way of not saying anything (which is of course better than actively participate), I’ll try to speak up.

Also funny, about other people talking: I have noticed that I have a real good memory about what people say, better than those people themselves it seems. I have heard the same (almost literal) conversations between the same people more than once. Also, I have heard people tell completely different stories to other peoples. I have learned not to say much ‘bout this, because than I am the one that `is ruining’ the story or conversation, but hey.

I think it’s important to stand up for people, whether or not they can stand up for themselves. Bullying can cause people mental illnesses which are serious even if you don’t see it on the outside.
