The Girl-Fight Crisis
The surge of fighting clips across the internet has ultimately caught the interest of the mainstream media, in the form of a ABC news reports on the huge number of videos of girl fights on the net. It is time these clips reached the interest of a lot more people.
The piece of writing, entitled "Teen-On-Teen Girl Combats Sweeping Internet", analyzes how a growing number of fights amongst girls take place in educational facilities all over the nation, with 70% of recorded college fights increasingly being among females of young age.
Video footage of actual fights from minor altercations to all out gang fights are effortlessly seen on Dailymotion as of late, and just about any minor who creates a Youtube account lying about how old they are gain access to this video footage.
The content piece explains the concept that viewing these kinds of video clips (not simply on Facebook, but on a host of other websites as well) makes minors much more likely to take part in similar conduct because there are various people today who will do anything whatsoever to "get famous". I'm going to estimate there may be more to it than that. Not too long ago a close friend confided in me that girls in the usa and Canada are almost conditioned to loathe each other. It's possible what she actually said was that girls are taught to be very competitive against each other, to put down other girls. She stated that one girl can pretty much under no circumstances trust what comes out of another girl's mouth if, for instance, that girl gives a compliment. Just as one illustration, she said that when a woman tells her "I like your outfit," it may well mean that this woman dislikes her clothes, or that she's envious simply because she would like to have the shirt, or it may also imply that she genuinely does like the shirt or piece of clothing discussed.
This colleague noticed that only the word of close, true pals could be reliable. This was most definitively an epiphany for me personally, because as a guy I had usually believed that ladies got along pretty well. Evidently, if girl confrontations are any suggestion, this kind of ill will that's tended to fester beneath the surface is already starting to come out in unpleasant and violent ways increasingly more. If you genuinely want ugly, have a look at the videos of women gang battles; some of these go even farther in terms of physical agression.
Is there anything that can be done?
Probably the most disturbing points concerning these kinds of video clips is the fact that someone had to be also there recording the whole thing, and yet they do nothing at all to prevent girls fighting and other raw encounters. Sometimes, this is rather inexcusable as grown guys will often be present for the duration of these altercations. They're able to isolate the young women, call up the police, any number of things. However taking a quick look at some video clips helps make it very clear that bystanders are getting some sort of twisted entertainment from watching a couple of people work on hurting one another. Frequently, they'll even come up with motivating remarks or laugh at the girls who are fighting. I've commented on the inappropriate conduct of bystanders previously in other content articles, and it looks all the more unreasonable when girls take place in these fights.
The following will likely fall on deaf ears, however I really do think that bystanders hold the duty to intervene when they can. Certainly, it comes with an component of hazard, so every person should use their particular judgment about what to do when they find themselves seeing a girl struggle or other sorts of street fight in progress.
The ABC content I mentioned within the introduction comprises advice from school officials about the very best way to move forward with regards to controlling their very own children from participating in street fights. The sole truly useful suggestion they presented was for moms and dads to speak with their children concerning the situation. It is rather humorous as well, since they help make the point that you ought to ask a whole lot of questions, rather than just expressly forbidding your kids to do it. That's some reliable parenting guidance that relates to quite a few facets of kids' day-to-day lives. It's been said more often than not that it's essential for parents to talk to their kids, and to keep in mind that 50 % of communicating can encompass listening what your teens have to say! As a guardian, I have found that teens (my child, at the very least) really do listen if you take enough time to slowly and gently clarify exactly why they ought to or should not do something. Of course, this document will likely be preaching to the choir as I am positive most moms and dads who already have wholesome verbal exchanges with their teens don't need to be concerned about their adolescents, especially girls fighting videos and altercations which is going to be published on the net.
One unproductive hint they offered was to tell teens to report any "inappropriate" clips like that will improve the situation. Even if they did, the videos would just be flagged as not appropriate for minors, and kids can still view these with quite easily. That is just Myspace as well as other well-known websites; there are almost certainly hundreds of other sites that also offer clips of girl fights as amusement.
I do think that, as usual, this adoration of violence is really a symptom of much deeper troubles. I do think that to really shift things, we as a society have to do some adjustments on non-violence. Why don't we analyze Gandhi in school, rather than glorify physical violence in videos and print?
Lest we fail to remember, Gandhi liberated one of the most populous nations in the planet from the domination of the world's greatest empire at the time, and he did it in a non violent way!! Every time I consider this, I am amazed by the true love and force of spirit that made this possible. Let's focus on Real power, the power to try and do good and help all members of contemporary society. Teens particularly require to obtain what it's all about that "being somebody" is not about being in a position to control and intimidate (or at least it shouldn't be about that).
