As somebody who was bullied a fair bit- I think it's safe to say that it is because of people like you that I actually turned out to be quasi-normal. Don't beat yourself up about the times when you may have stood back and did nothing. For one thing, back in those days there was little you could have done without becoming a target yourself. The other thing is that your acts of kindness not only helped give the victims the strength they needed to keep going on; but also helped that person become a social person and be able to rise above all the nonsense.
