.:Video Description:.
Why is bullying such an on going issue in society today? It's the people who start it
but is it not the people who have the capacity to put a stop to it? By watching an
act of bullying with the thought of, "i was going to step in if it kept going." you
may be too late.

Its so sad to see people not stand up for others. It seems like they don't want to get in the situation of bullying since they might not want get involved in it. However, a lot of them might not know what it feels like to get into trouble with someone else while everyone else is doing nothing but act like people not giving a single fuck. A lot of people in these video are ignorant(Kind of like me which is sad).It's just nice to see people stop a bullying situation.

No one did help when I got bullied though.
I have never been confronted with someone else being bullied, but I wouldn't really be able to help other than to get others to help.

Basically, this has been discussed PARTIALLY in another thread:
http://forums.stickpage.com/showthread.php?78284-Vengeful-Bully-Victims-Do-you-pity-them

Now, can I give my two cents?

People tend to follow a leader. They tend to reduce conflicts, and to ignore any conflict near them.
Have you ever helped someone who was bullied? If you do, then you can prove your point of view.

I'm a bully, and bullied. I have been to the two sides, and to be honest, bullying is fun. I won't lie to you for that.
However, when I was bullied, I realize that it's only one-sided fun, so now, I stop bullying others.
And if I see a bully, I ask them: "What's your reason to bully that guy?"

People bully others because they don't understand what is the other mind thinking. Don't just see the point of view of the victim.

I thought people would actually do something for a change.

But people like this in college? What in the fuck, these guys are such selfish assholes who don't wanna get involved.

As I said, it's in our human nature to avoid bad things that might happen to our life.

So much for bullying threads.

Back when I was grade 2, most people in my school used to stop me from fighting the bully.
Even now I guess, but there was no record recently.

But this? Fuck's sake, a few only managed to restore humanity. A move can make a whole difference, but why wont they even? If that actually was real, but 100x brutal, would they even make a move?

a question for you all, isokay if u dun care (Click to Show)

I watched the part with the girl on the bench stopping the bullying over and over again cause I thought she was just so awesome in how she handled herself. Everyone else can go fuck themselves.

Oh yeah of course, cos she's the only GIRL in the video who asserted herself. I see how it is

Also is it just me or are they just experimenting on asian nerds. The response is natural.

Totally understand why people don't help, and I'm not going to crucify every bystander who refuses to do so. Helping a friend is one thing, but helping a stranger is another.

Hewitt that sounded racist lol


Im waiting for your explanation on what stereotype I'm perpetuating. I'm simply stating the facts: Most of the targets are studious asians. Their response is natural.

Yeah the experiment is sort of flawed. If I saw something like that I would just assume that someone's shooting a movie or something because I can't even imagine how they let this dumbass who can't even do financials study in college and live.

I'd honestly be afraid of being stabbed or shot because I got in the mix of things. I would probably just call authorities if I saw physical bullying. But verbal bullying I always make sure I put that to a stop.

Yeah, verbal bullying is generally much easier to stop. Sometimes getting involved in physical bullying is not a smart idea because you'll just add another victim to that list.
