I think thats a very mixed message there. Sure it's important to stand up and confront your problems but usually parents and teachers encourage victims to ask for help when it comes to bullying. It is uncertain,I can see Sonic Boom having 2 main goals,there are no fill in episodes so the story comes in an order where the story develops and progresses.

One,is to deliver a lesson to the audience:

we've seen cartoons like this right? mostly those that are aimed at pre-schoolers or toddlers.

Some episodes in Boom like in the Third episode teaches that:"Okay,I came up with an idea and everyone thinks it's stupid so I dump the idea then everyone realises that,hey,this idea is good in one side or another." I'm saying that not all ideas are bad,they can have downsides but they can turn out as a good thing,If people think outside the box.

Two,is to show that there are things to come:

The last two episodes of the season show something,Shadow will be either a villain or a rival in the second,as of Cubot mentioned about the next season (delivered like an innocent joke) and what about this episode?

The message is unclear,it sounds as if:"Hey,I helped this person and he turned into a supervillain so I'll stand up for myself,like fight back or something." Yes,standing up for yourself is something one must do to develop character as of the TWO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENTS in this episode (Knuckles/Charlie).

So our last choice? is that this episode gives a purpose,that things are to come! Charlie is an EXTRA villain in the series,ancient machienery exposed,and clues! CLUES EVERYWHERE! ABOUT THE ANCIENTS,ABOUT THE WEAPONS LYRIC MUST HAVE USED FOR THE REBELLION! THE STONE! THE SEAL ON THE MECH SUIT! ISN'T IT CLEAR???

CAN WE JUST OPEN OUR EYES TO WHAT THIS EPISODE'S MEANING REALLY IS?
