Decided to finally make a topic about this considering how big the video has become.
Anyway for those that haven't seen it before here's the video
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-IJSvETGmo[/youtube]
Youtube keep removing the video but people keep uploading it so just search for bullying and then search for results 'uploaded today'. Unless someone can find it on another site where it won't be removed.
Here's a couple of news stories about it.

Anyway. The whole point of this topic is that after the video was uploaded a couple of days ago it's become an internet sensation. The boy in the video (Casey), was suspended from school after the incident. Everyone is calling Casey a hero for standing up to the bully and giving him a taste of his own medicine after being bullied for years at school and just ignoring it and putting up with it.
Do you think he did the right thing to hit back and do you have any similar stories?
I remember when I was bullied in school there was this one kid who was really annoying and kept hitting me and my friend. We tried out best to ignore it but it kept going on. One day I finally snapped and hit back much harder. After that the bullying stopped.
People say that violence doesn't solve everything. But in the case of bullying I think it does sometimes. The teachers rarely do anything about it if you tell them and they can't be everywhere at once. Bullies pick on people who are easy targets and much weaker than them. I think once you hit back and make them realise that you won't take it anymore they'll leave you alone as most bullies are cowards.
Anyway what are your thoughts?
