Doing nothing is as guilty as taking part? In high school I remember walking through campus and...

Nothing has changed in years . If anything its got worse all thanks to political correctness and do gooders . Kids know they can get away with this sort of disgusting behaviour because everyone is scared of doing anything about it and being accused of abuse etc .

It is these sort of degrading acts perpetrated on individuals that lead to the victim becoming withdrawn and harbouring a lot of pent up anger.
Then society wonders why mass shootings occur.

It’s fun and games when it’s an agreed upon thing. Like a dare that you know what’ll happen if you fail. It’s another when you are say minding your own business and then they take you against your will and to end with actual physical violence. They all need to be punished. Weirdly, the police most likely will do nothing, but if he takes punishment into his own hands, he’ll get arrested. It’s like the movie Promising Young Woman.

I get your point and was often on the receiving end. But my biggest frustration even looking back is the so called adults who are responsible for providing a safe environment didn't do shit. Have a "stop bullying" campaign and call it done. It is not on kids to police themselves and be forced to put themselves into a situation like that.

This is not fun, nor should it be in any way acceptable to anyone responsible for looking after young people's welfare. I thing the only thing that could have been different is AFTER the abuse others could have acted as witnesses in an enquiry. You were not guilty of being a witness to a wild crowd, but it might have been possible to report it later.

Use mobile phone to film it.
Show the evidence to the headmaster.
Be prepared. It won't have been the first or last time,
so you'll still get your chance to take action.

When we get bullied, we're reminded that we have no power of our own. And when we see somebody else being subjected to the same degradations, we're reminded of it again. Of our own lack of power and of the new victim's. I really don't think you could have done anything to stop that. But that doesn't stop it from rattling around in your head.

Guilty by ommission? But if the institution is not taking bullying seriously it requires an immense amount of strength to stand up for what is right. So don't feel too bad about keeping your head down 💖

Sounds like college stuff. Never saw that sort of thing in high school.
