I've seen or heard bullying like that a lot. It's not a secret that only a few people want to lend their hand to help others. If there's a lot of people who will help, this world would be a better place by now.

If there are a lot of people around everyone assumes someone else will be the one to help. It is a completely different situation if you are alone and you see someone getting attacked, then you have a much stronger obligation to help and studies have shown that.

I heard this from research (forget who did it). But it is not entirely true. It depends on who you are. If you don't want to help when there's a lot of people, then maybe you'll just run away if you're the only one who sees it.

It is also a matter of self preservation.

In large cities people tend to be more self centered and mind their own business more.

Bystanders are reluctant to get involved and get hurt in disputes or "get involved".

Getting involved also can take time if it turns out badly - making people late for their appointments.

Waiting and talking to police, ambulance of firemen.

There have been a number of times that I have got involved in other peoples issues. Whether health or violence.

Sometimes they have turned out to be drug addicts having a seizure but once it turned out to be an epileptic seizure by someone who looked like they were going through a drug overdose.

It was a serious seizure and if I hadn't intervened he possibly would have dies. As soon as I took action others came to help but for about 5 minutes nobody had done anything.

Drug addicts potentially have transmittable diseases (bleeding from the fall) and can act violently and unpredictably.

I've also got involved as a bystander in violent situations. Most of the time things turned out OK and I was able to calm the situation down but once I got hit with a brick.

I'd still stop and intervene every time if a life was potentially at risk.

This look flawed logic.

if the problem is not you, you don't want to make problems for ourselves to solve someone else's.

This is our mentality and there is no getting away from it. Every year indifference to others only grows and if the problem doesn't concern you personally in most cases the person won't go to eliminate it.
Everyone is concerned only with themselves and sometimes a stranger is simply not interested in others, even if he can be bullied.
Yes It is a problem and it is necessary to change it. But it remains as it is - if the problem is not you, you don't want to make problems for ourselves to solve someone else's.

be constructive or S.T.F.U

people react more to things that are directly related to them.

this is also the bill you have to pay when you live in a concrete jungle where everybody mind's their own business.

where I live, nobody can perform such actions, everybody would have stood up for that kid, elder people with slap those kids and those kids would not date to say a thing, when by the time they get home, their parents would have known about it, and they will get a good beating for what they did Grin

but we have some bills to pay too, privacy isn't at it's best. everybody knows who you were, or at least where you live. i guess there is no perfect world.

A very sad experiment conducted in a Burger King. First a a kid gets bullied, pushed around etc to see how people will react. After that the customers get served with a crushed burger. The results are staggering! 95 of the customers who were served a crushed burger reported it and demanded a new one but only 12% of customers tried to protect the bullied kid.

This reminded me of a case dating back a few years ago that took place in a neighbouring country. A 16 year old kid gets attacked in a tram by two 17 year olds. One pulls a knife and stabs him repeatedly in the chest. The boy dies before the paramedics arrived. A tram full of grown men and women stood by as a kid got beaten and stabbed and didn't do anything. But hey, at least they didn't record it so that they could have a cool video to share on their facebook page.

Take a look at the video on youtube
