Many teens are posting fights on Youtube. Once this happens, the fight never ends, especially for the child who is being beat up. It is viewed, shared, posted and re-posted. The pain, horror and embarassment that goes along with being beat up, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the fight, can be enough to cause a student to withdrawl from highschool, drop out, or worse. Our teens have become compeletly desensitized to fights on Youtube because they see them so often. When kids think it is funny to watch another teen get their heads bashed in on the concrete, we need to demand that this type of social media be stopped. These are still children and they do not know how to stop this insanity.
The videos are inhumane and should be taken down for encouraging and spreading violence.

My own kid showed me one of these and I was sick to my stomach. Its not entertainment its just bullying captured on camera for views. Youtube needs to get a grip and take this trash down.
