I only recall seeing someone being actively bullied once. We were at a park, and I think I even remember what park, but I'm not saying its name here. I met up with some girls who seemed to like me and we were hanging out for a bit. Then a boy came along who wanted to show us his Legos (I think). The girls started acting mean and jeering him. I'm pretty sure I remember telling them they shouldn't treat him like that/that it was mean/etc., even though I was scared they'd turn on me then, too. That part's fuzzy, honestly. What I remember clearly is the boy dejectedly walking away and the girls leaving, and me chasing after the boy telling him that the girls were gone and he could come back. He didn't, and we needed to leave.
I doubt it impacted him much, because I don't think I really helped anything, but I've often wondered what happened to him.
There was one other time, when I saw someone after having been bullied. She was upset because the other kids wouldn't play with her. I said I'd play with her and when we parted ways I think she was feeling better (if I'm remembering it right. She might have thought I was a complete kook by then, but I think she was smiling).
