i no how painful it is to be that one kid who is tormented and it seems as if nobody cares.

but i too have looked into the eyes of another that show great pain and sufering

It depends on the situation.
If I was a kid at same age, it's probably pretty dumb idea to try and help him by yourself.
The logical step is to tell a teacher about it, I'd be surprised if no other kids did so already. However, sometimes when there are many witnesses to a crime or situation where help is needed, the witnessing individuals' responsibility are difused. If there are large number of witnesses, each individuals feel that they don't need to help since someone else must be helping already.
For example, in a large apartment building, you hear gunshots and you are pretty sure that a crime has occured in the building. Most likely you won't call a police thinking that other tenents have already called. The crime might not even be reported till much later.

If its a daily basis thing, then most likely i'd help out the kid. Not like it hasn't happened before. I've noticed that if you're a popular kid or have back up, people would back down if you told them to stop bullying a kid - On the other hand, people who don't seem to pose a threat are ignored when telling people to stop bullying someone.
What has to be done is somone has to come and step up for the individual(s) that is/are being picked on. Watching by the sidelines won't do anything, so do something. Save someone. If you're afraid of getting hurt then think about what kind of pain the other person is in.

hmmm i have experienced this several times... and uhhhh most of the kids i help do pretty well afterwards.... well im not gonna help the kid while he is being beaten up, am no fool to go against thugs that are more likely gonna beat me up as well, i know the limit of my strength anyway.. so wat i do is go to the kid after the beating and help him on a retaliation... a few acquaintances of mine are like war freaks and would love to beat people up as well.. so i just direct that war freakiness to the right people...

Actually I have been in both sides, since Im a redhead (there are not so many here, so its weird to see one) people use to bother/beat me when I was in elemental school, later I start to hang with the bullies so I start to beat people until secundary school when I become a "nobody" cuz I need higher grades in order to get in some other school, in this point I was someone really old in that school, about 6 years there makes you to know plenty of people and teachers, so people dont bother me. When I start preparatory school I start to hang with some older sutudents so people dont bother me either, in my second year my older friends finish school and I alone with some "same age friends"; in this point I fail exams 2 years in a row so my time school time has changed to 3 years to 5, nowadays I know plenty of people and some of them are bullys so sometimes, before anyone gets beated, I help him

I'd probably get pissed really fast. I usually have a good temper, but I seem to snap when I see those things.

Last time that happened, I think I dug my fingernails into one of the guys' arms... =/ I was having a bad day, and I sorta took it out on the bullies.

I would probably get involved the 1st time I see this happening. First off, I would ask what's going on. Why, they're beating up this kid. And the ask the kid getting beat up what's going on, to get both sides of the story. Depending on the situation, my actions would probably lead to the same action. Tell the kids beating up that one kid to knock it off.
If the kid that got beaten deserved it, I would still tell the other kids to knock it off, but tell the kid that deserved it, that this is the only time I would help him/her out. "From now on, You're on your own". This is mostly to scare the kid into not doing whatever he/she did before, again. Though if I see it happening again, I would probably butt in, again.
"Yup, you outnumber me. Most likely you guys will take me down. That I have no doubt about that. In fact it's most likely a guarantee. What's a certain guarantee is that I will take at least one of you down with me. Question is who will it be"
I learned many painful lessons wih the above line.

If I get into a fight I can't handle, I know I can outrun everyone.... I'm just not sure what to do the next day. ^^

That's why I try not to provoke fights.

Like I already said, though, if I snap, well, I snap. =/ It takes a lot to make me snap, though. I think that one day was a special case, considering it was one of my best friends that was getting bullied and that I'd already been having a really, really bad day.

A bad day means getting a mechanical pencil jammed into the skin between your knuckles... multiple times. =/

Hrmm...

Well, I suppose you could do what I did a few years ago.

Take a note who the bullies were, then arrange a little "unanounced meeting" with them the next day.

That is, get them from behind with a lock, and ask them what the *expletive* they were doing yesterday. Explain to the now victim, that you are not a violent person, but you'll have to break this person's arm, just as a little friendly warning.
Because, after all, you're their only friend.

Creepy, violent, and downright effective. There was a reason bullying never caught on in the schools I attended. Although, I heard it started up again after I left.

Now, repeat after me:
"I do not adhere nor condone vigilantism in any shape or form.
For it leads only into the breakdown of control,
And is the cradle of anarchy."
