The Bystander Effect

I was a bystander bout 4 or 5 years ago. I was like 15 or 16 years old. It all started when me and my family was going to the skating ring which was called "World On Wheels" every Sunday around the same time from 2-8pm. While we was on the floor skating my god sister seen the girl just staring at her and whispering to the next person. So my god sister let it slide a couple of times because she wasn't tripping at first, but when we went back up to the skating ring the next couple of days the girl still wanted to keep running her mouth, so my god sister went up to her and asked her did she have a problem with her and why was she starting mess. The girl said it was because she didn't like her. On that Sunday night the girl called my god sister a B**** and when the girl called her that she ran up on her and they started fighting and when the fight was over we left and the next day the girl did not come back up to the skating ring ever again.

  1. I don't noticed an incident which exemplifies the bystander effect. A crowd has to watch while someone is harmed or in danger and do nothing. Did this happen in this incident? Your post should focus more on this type of detail.
