Reporting a bully anonymously still counts as courage. Protecting yourself while helping someone else is smart.

There is a story going around that only a public stand counts, and it keeps a lot of people quiet. What matters is that the information reaches an adult who can act on it, and the route it took is nobody’s business. Keeping yourself out of the line of fire is not a loophole, it is good judgement.

If you have been sitting on something, find the quiet channel: a tip line, a note, a word with a teacher you trust. Say what happened, when, and to whom, as plainly as you can. You do not have to solve it, only hand it to someone who can.
