After realizing what is going on, do you look through the phone screen and run up to the circle, quickly opening your phone? You join in on the circle, standing shoulder to shoulder with people you have never even talked to, let alone be this close to. Being a bystander can’t be anything bad, right? You're not the one involved, you are just sharing some good content with your friends list as soon as you whip out your phone. Right? You laugh and yell for the people to go at it, because this would just be an awesome video. The other kid is not fighting back, he is just defenselessly avoiding eye contact while against the locker. But it's not your fight, right?
Or, are you the type where the situation momentary catches you off guard but with every annoyed step you take, you care even less. You think that these people need to grow up and you want nothing to do with it. While everyone goes crazy, you just put your headphones in and continue walking to your destination with no regard left in you. People come yelping down the hallways asking you what is happening but you just continue to say that you don't know.
Or, are you the type of person that just doesn't take it? Yes, high school is only a few years long and little things like these don't matter in the long run. But, they do matter right now. Are you the person that stops talking to the person you were talking to right when you saw that scene on that person's phone? The type of person that takes a moment to observe what is going on but doesn't hesitate? Doesn't take a second to think otherwise than to help out? You push your way through the people crowding like moths on a porch light. But you step in and try to stop it, even if you won't be the coolest person in the school you know that it is totally unfair and unnecessary. Do you try and make the peace and help the defenseless victim on camera, knowing all the boo’s and backlash you may get? What is worth it to you? What would you do?
