00:07

really just a group of misunderstood kids desperately trying to figure out why [Guy making a girl hit herself in the face]

00:11

you're hitting yourself... Okay the senior class contains a group

00:16

of bullies no one is quite sure who the bullies are because they cover

00:19

themselves in jerseys what might be administration try to do and here are the

00:23

potential answers...All right.....

00:27

Okay you know what they say about bullies can't live with them can't live

00:31

without them that doesn't sound right you know what they say about bullies if

00:34

you can't beat them join them okay no there are no sayings about bullies you [Boys bullying a kid on a bus]

00:38

know why because they suck and they don't deserve their own saying, which is

00:42

kind of its own saying. The key to this question is part about the jersey by [People wearing football jerseys]

00:45

covering up and forming a group or mob each individual bully in the group is

00:50

able to feel decreased self-consciousness and self-restraint

00:53

picture yourself at a party dancing mingling and then suddenly don't stop [Boy dancing at a party]

00:57

believin comes on the stereo naturally everyone starts to sing and you join in [Girls singing don't stop believing at the party]

01:01

starting at a low hum by the second chorus you're eventually screaming the

01:05

words at the top of your lungs along with everyone else no problem right? Well

01:09

that is until everyone stops singing along at the same exact moment except [People stop singing and boy singing alone]

01:12

for you, not so confident anymore are you? Well that's what's happening with the

01:15

bullies except with a little less off key falsetto...The key to the

01:20

answer then is eliminating this decreased sense of self-consciousness [Bullies disappearing in a field]

01:23

and we wouldn't do that by facilitating more friendly social gatherings, nor

01:27

blaming the victims nor incentivizing the bullies to tattle and while some of

01:31

you might be inclined to agree that terror simply is a part of high school

01:34

have you been to a gym class on dodgeball day? That answer is a [Man throws dodgeball at boy and amulance rushes down a road]

01:38

little too morbid and defeatist for our taste So no the answer is clearly C when we

01:42

were talking about all that decreased feeling of self-consciousness and

01:45

self-restraint we were actually describing the term D individualization

01:50

which means exactly what it sounds like an individual feels less like an [A group of young boys stood together]

01:54

individual and more simply like a part of a group allowing them to do things

01:58

they otherwise wouldn't. by removing this and forcing the bullies to act as

02:01

their own individual identities they just might behave differently of course you

02:05

might just end up with a huge number of vigilante bullies operating individually [Bully hiding behind a tree]

02:09

but you take your chances right?
