I never understood the "let's stand around and watch" thing. I can KIND OF see stopping to watch two people fight, even though I was never one to do that myself. But a group of people beating up on one person, or someone obviously stronger kicking the shit out of another kid? C'mon now...
I sat here and tried to think, okay, what's it going to take to stop something like that? But the only thing that came to mind was "what the hell is wrong with you?" ("you" being the bullies, and those that just stand and watch.)
Are the teachers/administrators just not paying enough attention? I went to a pretty small school, so fighting and bullies weren't a huge problem (at least, not to the extent of some of the larger schools in the area), but it seems like everytime there was a fight, one of the teachers jumped in and broke it up.
