Video: Why bullying is still a problem If you saw someone being attacked or bullied in the street, would you step in. It seems from this video - a social experiment by Yousef Erakat - that most people will just walk by rather than trying to stop what is going on. Such a reaction is understandable - few people want to risk being attacked violently themselves. But is this the right reaction? And is it this attitude that has allowed bullying to become so rife in our schools, on the internet and even in the workplace. Maybe next time you see someone being bullied, you should try to stop it.
