Which of the following expressions is correct: "to stand up to someone/something" or "to stand up against someone/something"?
If both are possible, do they have the same meaning?
If not, when should I use each of them?
Would you please give me some examples?
For instance, do you stand up to a school bully or do you stand up against a school bully? Do you stand up to a company polluting waters or do you stand up against a company polluting waters?
Thank you.
It's always "stand up to". CJ
