Bystander

Middle School Student, Framingham, MA

It was a hot summer day. I was playing basketball with my cousin when we heard barking from huge pitbulls. Usually when we hear dogs barking that loud it means that there is a fight going on. I told my cousin to stay and I went to see what was going on. When I finally got there I saw two high school students fighting. There were a lot of people watching. I was a bystander because i did not stop the fight or tell an adult to try to stop it. Later on my friend told me that an upstander had stopped the fight.I wish that person was me.
