Bullying in High School & we can stop it?

The picture above shows a kid with the blue long sleeve appears to be choking the kid with black and red plad shirt on while giving him a "knuckle sandwich" you can say with the other hand. There is a lot going wrong in this video not just from the kidding the action and bullying but also the 6 other students that appear in the picture and not doing anything about it. The girl on the left side of the picture in the blue long sleeve is laughing at what happens. All 6 of the other students should be held accountable for not sticking up for the kid getting bullied.

Isaac N. Breon Dr. Entzminger Foundations of Writing May 09, 2022 An Analysis of the current uncommon situation of bullying speech problems on public transit:     Did you ever come across a hippy stranger on a public bus, or any public space, that severely injured your sense of privacy with coarse speech? About anything political or simply anything divisive? If you haven’t, then someone else you know of probably has, and his or her story may, indeed, be pretty horrifying.
