THE BULLYING EXPERIMENT - End Bullying Today

[shoottomaim]

You may question why I'm posting this on this community, and if this is an advertisement attempt. You may question how this relates to you, but I am putting this here because I know every single one of you has seen someone being bullied or have been a victim yourself, or maybe are the bully. Bullying starts with one person or multiple picking on another victim (or group), and can be stopped with one person or a group. Bullying stops when you want it to. It may him or her that started it, but it can be you who ends it.
Take a look at the video below and think about what society's stance on bullying is. Think about what you would do if you were seeing someone being bullied right now, at this second, and what you would want someone to do if you were being bullied.

By watching someone being bullied, you aren't just a spectator, you have the power to do something. So let's do something about it, together. I'm tired of hearing Amanda Todd cases happen over and over without anyone doing anything.
Thank you.

EDIT:
This video has reached numerous others thanks to you . I saw you guys were inspired by this video, so perhaps you might like this one? Spread the word!

Wow.

I almost burst out laughing when the dude flipped out his phone and started recording.

It's truly sad that instead of helping, most people would tend to sit on the sidelines, especially if a fight's surrounded in a large crowd.

Great video though, it could be pretty inspiring for others to help out in situations like that. Unfortunately, will it stop bullying entirely? Not close.

The video is now viral and has hit a million views within 2 days... pass this video around and inspire others to take a stand

That may have been the best video i've ever seen.

This is a great video. My biggest regrets in life are ones were I feel like I didn't do enough in a situation; didn't stick up for the person at all.

I feel the need to go on a little mini-rant here. In America bullying is constant and schools now are starting to take things more seriously. They start having assemblies to inform students about the realities of bullying and how if we just take a stand, we could change a life, for the better. Problem is not how the information is being presented, but how students and the people of the community receive the information. Most people can sit there and watch. Maybe feel guilty or sad. The question is though that if something happened, would they actually do something? Or would they witness another human in pain, and possibly just ignore it? Some students would rather mess around and talk with their friends during these assemblies instead of grasping the issue that has been in-front of them their entire lives. When children grow up in an area that doesn't effectively address and issue like bullying, the kids start to believe that it's O.K. Now, as bullying continues, it becomes easier for people to bully others. Now, the majority of houses in the United States has easy access to internet, or easy access to cyber-bullying. Someone from a thousand miles away can get online in three seconds and harm another easily, without anyone knowing your real identity. It is truly sickening. My father is a police officer and so he comes home with all sorts of stories. Quite a few revolve around teens. Most of those stories involve teen bullying. Kids who steal from other kids, get mad and fight, insult others, even come to their houses just to beat them up. Almost all these stories end the same. Kid got killed by someone. Kid killed them-self. Kid was badly wounded. When they interview the parents, over half would say they had no clue what was going on. Then the friends are interviewed. Some admit to witnessing the bullying, but didn't say anything. To anyone. If this doesn't scare you, it should, or at least make you think about why this is wrong. Instead of just being a witness, help a victim. Do not even hesitate! Just help! You don't even need to get involved! Tell an adult who will help. If they don't do something, tell another adult! Someone will help! If you are the one getting bullied, you can tell an adult, a parent, a counselor, police officer, fire-fighter, and you could even call help line! There are now numbers you can call and tell someone something to help another, but it is completely anonymous. They won't even ask for your first name (but you can tell them if you wish). Do not be just a witness, be someone's angel.
This is a number you can call if you need to talk with someone, or want to help another person and is completely anonymous:

This is really just an amazing and moving post. After seeing this post, the video, and other posts on this thread, I realize how lucky I am that virtually no bullying goes on in my school.

So now, if you were to see someone getting bullied, would you help?
