  3. Hello,
    First, I think I would ask them how they feel. It's important to support someone emotionally and to truly show them you are there for them no matter what. Second, I would make sure they feel safe around me and ask them if they are in any possible danger. If they don't feel comfortable talking to me about it, which is completely understandable, I would simply advise them to get professional help such as a therapist. I will tell them that it's paramount to talk about it even though they feel like it's not that big of a deal.

    1. If someone uses another person as spacegoat this means that she does not take responsibility.
      I advise these people to face the problems and take responsibility for their faults without blaming the other because to become a good person, it is important to face our faults. It allows us to grow and progress.
      Moreover, I would advise this person to try to question himself and to confront his problem with the opinion of his relatives.

  4. Hello,
    To begin with, I would ask her/him to explain me the situation if he/she wishes. I would then have the possibilty to give better advice with an overview in order to help this person in distress. I would advice this person to made a complaint against the executioner and I would help her/him to find the courage to do so. To conclude I would tell her/him that if he needs someone I will be there to support her/him. It is also important to listen to these people because they can feel depressed or alone.

  5. I would like him to be able to put himself in the same place as the scapegoat. If what he did to someone innocent would get back to him what would he do, and after he would give himself retrospective about the situation he wouldn’t be capable of treating someone like a scapegoat.

      I would like him to put himself into an innocent person’s shoes, so that he would know what it’s like to be a scapegoat.

  6. Hi,

    Firstly, I think that someone who is using any other people as a scapegoat is not aware of his or her acts and does not realize what they imply, and does not assume his or her liabilities. In my opinion, this kind of attitude is childish, since it is like behaving like a kid who does not have to take his or her responsibilities.
    In addition to that, what is even more terrible, is that these people are putting some others into trouble without even really realizing it. And most likely, they wouldn’t like to be in their shoes facing the consequences of their acts, although they should.
    So, to warn them and make them aware of what they do, I would tell them that if they are spotted the situation may turn even worse than it would have, had they assumed their acts, as others would get even more underwhelmed. Consequently, as a piece of advice, I would tell them to be responsible, which implies being aware of how they behave and act, and this may prevent them from doing nonsense.

  7. I would probably try to understand why does he act like this and try to make him recognize the seriousness of his actions. I would also say to him "Put yourself in his shoes, would you like to be treated like this ?" because my genitress always told me to not do to others what you would not want them to do to you.

  8. behind every act there is always a reason for it, so I'll try to understand why it acts like that. Younger having been in the place of the "scapegoat", I will explain to him that "the wheel turns" (roue) and that he will regret having been this person and I will add that my parents always told me "don't do to others what you would not want them to do to you."

  9. If you use someone as a scapegoat, you should stop. First because you could be punished by the law if you are going too far. Secondly you should try to put yourself in the same position because if you don’t like this position that’s obvious that an other person doesn’t like this position

  10. People who do that need to put themselves in the position of a scapegoat to see the pain they cause. If someone use another person as scapegoat it’s because they don’t feel well and want to put their frustrations on somebody else. So if i could give an advice to them it will be to go see a therapist to resolve their own problems. And after they will be able to apologize and to recognize that what they were doing was wrong.

  11. If someone is using another person as scapegoat, it is probably because they are aware of their decisions and actions which are wrong. So, I'll try to explain that person to be more mature and take responsibility of what they did as you can't just blame others and run away from your actions. Plus, no one should live with regret and guilt while being innocent : it is not fair at all.

  12. Firstly, I would like to show these people how serious it is to use someone as a scapegoat. Bullying is unfortunately more and more frequent in our generation. It is important these people realize how serious and destructive their actions can be. If young people feel more concerned by this cause they may stop cruel behaviours. In addition, bully people have to question themselves, to see a psychologist if they need to talk about it. The important thing is to act before a tragedy occurs and this type of situation recurs.

  13. Hello,
    To start with, I would ask this person who uses an another as a spacegoat, why is he doing this. I would advice him to stop because it is punishable by law and it could have a lot of consequences on the harassed. I would try to make him understand that what he's doing is wrong and if someone does the same to him he won't like it. In conclusion, I would tell him to behave responsibly by being mature and making excuses.

  14. Hello,
    First of all, I think that people who use another person as scapegoat have serious problems. They must have been harassed or traumatized or they maybe live in a difficult situation and can't talk about it. That is surely why they let off steam and perhaps inflict what they have been through on someone to get their revenge. First, I would try to talk to this person in order to understand his behavior and to advise him. I would also recommend him to go see a psychologist because it could be beneficial for him to talk about his problems with an unknown person who would not judge him. Moreover, I would tell him that he wouldn't feel better by taking revenge but it would only get worse for both of them. Finally, I would tell him that the person he uses as scapegoat is not responsible for what he went through and he would destroy him.

  15. The advice I will give to a person who uses another as a scapegoat is first to understand why he is doing or has done this action? I will try as much as possible to communicate with him calmly so that he trusts me and that he gives himself up, most often the people who harass others are the ones who are doing the most badly. Then of course the will go to the person he or she used how is she? How did she experience this action? what if she needs to talk to me about it? I will also remind her that she is not alone and that the most important thing is to talk about it.

  16. First of all, I think I would find out the reasons for his actions, and what does it mean to him to hurt someone else. Of course I would stop all the harm he brings to his target.

  17. Most of the time people use someone as a scapegoat because of the group effect. It may be great if they have time to think about it by them-selves. Also it could be effective if they herd about testimonies from former bullied people. I think that people that act like might have others personal problems in their lives but it could also be that they don't know that what they're doing is bad.

  18. I think that people who use another person as a scapegoat have serious personal problems. They must not like themselves to be able to hurt other people. I find it sad and I advise them to see a psychologist so they can talk and get better.

  19. Each person has something bad or good, weak or strong in him or her. One day everyone can need some help, and someone can become the last person that can help you.
    If you all the time humiliate a person, there can come the day when you need his help. However, your ex-scapegoat , instead of helping you , will make you the new scapegoat.
    To not become alone once, you should treat any person well, remembering that they can be not only weak but also strong.

  20. Hello,

    I think that a person who uses someone else as a scapegoat must surely have his reasons. I think I would tell him to face his responsibilities and his actions in order to move forward. Every lie will catch up to us eventually. Facing reality can be complicated, but I think it is a necessary step to grow up and not make the same mistakes again. I would tell that person to be strong, because telling the truth can be scary. But I would also tell that person to realize that they should not do it again, and that they should always be honest.
