I stepped into a heated argument between a group of youths, who were about to get violent with another young person. I talked them out of doing anything silly, allowing the victim to make his retreat. But afterwards I was very shaky, when I realised that I had actually put my own saftey in jeopardy!

I stood up to an abusive partner and kicked him out of my door and my life. I felt scared, but proud of myself.

I was at a party and a man started beating his wife. I stepped in the middle and asked him to stop it. Giving the woman time to get away and call the police.
