Bullying has been present in society for a very long time. What was used as an equivalent for the word “sweetheart” back in the 1530, today is associated with someone who uses force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. People have been scarred both physically and psychologically for life after being under attack from other who feel superior to them. About 28 percent of children ages 12-18 have reported being bullied at school during a school year. Most schools have a firm policy on bullying, but there are those who claim they are powerless against this plight. Some 160,000 kids refuse going to school out of being bullied. After the recent events that happened with a boy named Keaton Jones being bullied, YouTuber MattTV decided to conduct a social experiment seeing how people would react if they saw a child being Bullied in public. The results were shocking! The experiment consisted of a group of teenagers approaching a young boy with a backpack on and ball in hand, approaching him out of nowhere and using coercion and force to intimidate him. Three different case are present, where every each one of the witnesses didn’t think twice before stopping the bullies from getting violent with the boy. When they were asked why they chose to intervene, the two women who stopped the “bullies” said that they wanted to do right by someone who otherwise can’t stand up for himself. Just like they would like someone to stand up for their child, if they were caught in a similar situation. Keep calm and say NO to bullying!
