Social Media trends are disturbing.

Their were really vicious fights and nasty bullying at my school, long before social media and mobile phones.
Never got in the news, though.
One girl was set upon by a gang on her way home from school in the park had her knickers ripped off and thrown in the pond along with her school bag. Nothing was reported, nothing was done

There, not their

Bullying has always happened but the filming of it and posting of it on SM is fairly new and I'm sure it encourages copy-cat behaviours.

Nothing new.
There have always been bullies and thugs. The only difference is they have the technology to film their attacks.
On the plus side, the are unwittingly gathering evidence that will (hopefully) land them in trouble.

the only new thing here is the phone... it is awful but unfortunately this kind of thing is very common at schools and has been for a long time

[Arksided]

Awful to watch but agree with Gromit... hopefully unwittingly or otherwise.

TTT, You can't tarnish all Kids with the same brush.

[Peter Pedant]

there were an awful lot tho
bullies at my school used to go around in ones

It's terrible...both that it happens and that they film it. But that's where they are stupid because it increases the likelihood of the little dirtbags being caught.

There has always been bullying but filming on phones is relatively new and when the thugs post and brag they get caught!

This happened on a school bus in our village. A young boy, 12, sat minding his own business, when a 14/15 year old girl walked up to him and slapped him around the head very hard. Kids were just staring. Then bully girl shouted to another teenage boy to join in, which he did, as she was filming on her phone.
Poor boy, doesn't come out of his bedroom after school now, according to his Mum. The girl was suspended from school for a few weeks and police involved.

I blame the parents. Because it's a parenting job to teach your kids how to behave in society.

Of course, society doesn't allow them to say BOO ! to their offspring these days because the little darlings have rights, and that's just how kids act anyway so you mustn't interfere.
