How can you not feel something for the victim? How can you be okay with it? How can someone not offer any help in an emergency situation to a victim? Although we might not be involved in what’s happening, our behaviors can contribute to what takes place. Sometimes, we can even make the situation worse just by cheering, laughing and encouraging. Most of the time, when we notice a fight or someone saying something ruinous to another person, we simply ignore it and continue with our lives.

CAR RADIO by Twenty One Pilots

I ponder of something great My lungs will fill and then deflate They fill with fire Exhale desire I know it's dire My time today I have these thoughts So often I ought To replace that slot With what I once bought 'Cause somebody stole My car radio And now I just sit in silence Sometimes quiet is violent I find it hard to hide it My pride is no longer inside It's on my sleeve My skin will scream Reminding me of Who I killed inside my dream I hate this car that I'm driving There's no hiding for me I'm forced to deal with what I feel There is no distraction to mask what is real I could pull the steering wheel I have these thoughts So often I ought To replace that slot With what I once bought 'Cause somebody stole My car radio And now I just sit in silence I ponder of something terrifying 'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind I find over the course of our human exis

LOVE ME NOW by John Legend

Pulling me further Further than I've been before Making me stronger Shaking me right to the core, oh I don't know what's in the stars Never heard it from above, the world isn't ours But I know what's in my heart If you ain't mine I'll be torn apart I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone So I'm gonna love you now, like it's all I have I know it'll kill me when it's over I don't wanna think about it, I want you to love me now I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone So I'm gonna love you now, like it's all I have I know it'll kill me when it's over I don't wanna think about it, I want you to love me now (Love me now, love me now) Oh, oh, love me now, oh, oh, oh, yeah (Love me now, love me now) Oh, I want you to love me now Something inside us Knows there's nothing guaranteed, yeah Girl, I don't need you To tell me that you'll never leave, no When we've done all tha

DNA by Lia Marie Johnson

Dark as midnight Six pack Coors Light You don't look the same Past my bedtime Blue and red lights Come take you away Hate to see you like a monster So I run and hide Hate to ask but what's it like to leave me behind I won't be, no I won't be like you Fighting back, I'm fighting back the truth Eyes like yours can't look away But you can't stop DNA No, you can't stop DNA Twice a year, you come in crashing Nice to see you too Johnny Cash and backseat laughing Always ends too soon Hate to say hello 'cause I know that it means goodbye Hate to ask but what's it like to leave me behind I won't be, no I won't be like you Fighting back, I'm fighting back the truth Eyes like yours can't look away But you can't stop DNA No, you can't stop DNA Are the pieces of you In the pieces of me? I'm just so scared You're who I'll be When I erupt Just like you do They look at me Like I look at you I won't be, no I won't be l

Cold Water by MAJOR LASER feat.Justin Bieber & MO

(Justin Bieber:) Everybody gets high sometimes, you know What else can we do when we're feeling low? So take a deep breath and let it go You shouldn't be drowning on your own And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over into cold, cold water for you And although time may take us into different places I will still be patient with you And I hope you know I won't let go I'll be your lifeline tonight I won't let go I'll be your lifeline tonight Cause we all get lost sometimes, you know? It's how we learn and how we grow And I wanna lay with you 'til I'm old You shouldn't be fighting on your own And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over into cold, cold water for you And although time may take us into different places I will still be patient with you And I hope you know I won't let go (I won't let go, no, no, no, no, no, no) I'll be your lifeline tonight I won't let go I'll be your lifeline tonight
