This group of people decided to do an experiment about bullying and see how people would react of they saw an act of abuse… What would you do? 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. This video opened up my eyes in ways no video has done before. Hope it promotes positive change.
Please let’s SHARE this video, maybe we can make a difference….
More than likely a lot of these people who walked away were probably bullied when young. It is a sad vicious cycle—ANOTHER FORM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!

Sandra, that is so true. People are often too afraid to step in for their own safety.

bullying is apart of life I was bullied till I decided to stand up for myself. does it get out of hand yes but that is due to the fact that over the past 10 years laws have changed. when I was growing up parents could still spank the kids….(not beat or abuse). growing up I was even a bully to one kid every day from first grade until our junior year in high school. as a guy yeah we hit each other kicked each other but knew if we got the brunt of it one day we would give it right back the next. do I think I might have gone to far at times looking back yeah but we were kids and it was the way things were and at the end of the day the kid I bullied and I have always been best friends. he was the one kid picked on by our friends due to him being so small and would cry easy. yeah I know kids that have been bullied use it as a reason to kill and that’s because they want to blame others for there stupidity. my friend went on to become a very wealthy man he never got mad and threatened any of us. the closest he came was our senior after prom in the boxing ring we had he beat the crap out of me. he out weighed me by 50 pounds by then. we did have a student who WAS A BULLY get mad for not making the basketball team bring a gun to school. tried to shoot a few students who did and he missed them all. bullying and hazing are both fine as long as all parties are willing to accept the fact that one day the tables can turn. I think if someone tries out for sports and gets hazed big deal that’s all apart of tradition. people need to stop worrying about what the next person is doing and focus on there own life.

I can’t believe people will walk away when it’s sometimes blatant that someone is getting hurt. I work in a industry where this often happens and it’s trying to re- educate people that we need to stick together to stop bullying not ignore what’s going on. Otherwise your just as bad as the bully !!!
Brilliant video and an excellent example of showing people their mistakes but it also high lights another issue
People are scared of getting involved as they too don’t want to be bullied and get the attention focused on them.
But if more people stood up and said stop we would be a bigger voice.
And it would eventually be seen as morally unacceptable in society rather than being ignored xxxx
Brilliant guys…. Good luck with your quest
I’m on your side

It’s so easy to just yell, “Hey! Stop it or I’m calling the cops!” (from a safe distance if you’re really afraid to step in). It’s absurd how many people just walk away. What if that was your friend/son/brother?!?!?

What I find amazing and sad is that more times its woman who step up to protect. What has happened to the men of today?

It doesn’t matter what race or color you are, there’s right & there’s wrong, you’ve got to help people in needs. This experiment is about bullying, but what if you stumbled into a more horendous situation like a woman being raped, would you just look away and walk away? So you are afraid and walks away, how can you live with yourself afterward?
