[m!chael]

People should just do whatever the fuck they want and stop worrying about what people think. That's why flash mobs are awesome, they're liberating.

Also, although it doesn't help per se, it raises awareness. If someone saw a flash mob and became aware of the issue at hand, and even had a giggle or two at the moment, that person is more likely to donate funds to that cause or actually do something about it.

What's the point of a reporter going to Africa and observing people starving without actually feeding them. It's the awareness that he raises.

Heres the problem:
What does dancing have to do with bullying? I'm viewing this and all I see is another typical "flash mob". How do people dancing convey the message that people are still being bullied? I understand that its kids putting this together but it doesn't change the fact that the final message isn't being communicated. I see people laughing and dancing, what does that have to do with bullying?

You say awareness, ok, maybe between this display of arm flapping and leg kicking I somewhere read "anti-bullying". What is my next step? How do you convert those viewers of this event into actual participants of the campaign? This reminds me of that "change your facebook picture into a cartoon to stop... " wtf was it again anyways?

I think alot of people saw this and thought to themselves "bullying still happens? thats awful" and then they continued shopping for the latest true religions.

TL DR:
dancing =/= anti-bullying

And, Were talking about it. (How is that not a legitimate point is beyond me. You don't get to just discredit a point being made by saying "and oh god don't anybody say")

Also, Pink shirt day to support anti-bullying is fairly well known. People wear pink shirts on those days, and people are aware. http://www.pinkshirtday.ca/ , etc.

And no, it doesn't do anything directly. How does donating money to a food bank directly help starving people, it doesn't. Indirectly, the money is used to buy food which is then given to the needy families/persons. Hopefully this stunt raises awareness, which reduces bullying.

You say awareness, ok, maybe between this display of arm flapping and leg kicking I somewhere read "anti-bullying". What is my next step? How do you convert those viewers of this event into actual participants of the campaign? This reminds me of that "change your facebook picture into a cartoon to stop... " wtf was it again anyways?

You don't have to become and actual participant of the campaign (hand out fliers, etc.) to actually make a positive difference. Maybe someone who saw this went home and had a talk with his son about bullying. Maybe the son admitted to the father that he was being bullied, or he was a bully, and the situation was dealt with. There's a million different things that could happen. And even if the consequence of this event is that only one or two kids stop being bullied over a course of a year or two, I think it's pretty worth it. Something is better than nothing.


I'm not saying "Don't promote anti-bullying", I'm saying "If you're going to promote anti-bullying, make it meaningful to me/us"

You can't really speak for 'us' now can you.
And, 'me', you're one person buddy. I'm sure a lot of people share your view but you discredit the entire event based on what you think/feel.

Yes, we're talking about it, but we're talking about how gay it is.

By participate I don't mean actually dance, I mean get involved with the cause after the event has happened. During a flash mob it seems like the only thing that happens is people witness others dance for some cause but what happens after the fact?

Maybe someone who saw this went home and had a talk with his son about bullying. Maybe the son admitted to the father that he was being bullied, or he was a bully, and the situation was dealt with.

And even if the consequence of this event is that only one or two kids stop being bullied over a course of a year or two, I think it's pretty worth it. Something is better than nothing.

This is a good point. But, it would be a great point if people would actually be able to associate a group of people dancing with bullying. For example, if people wearing pink shirts stood outside the exits for an hour after the dance to hand out more information about anti-bullying, then yes, it would have been more effective. But a group dance for alone isn't very powerful if you can't learn much after it.

You're saying the pink shirt day is very well known, is it really? For all I know its your word versus mine. Yes, they have over 12 thousand followers on facebook but does the average Vancouverite/Canadian know what it is?

We don't know what steps were taken after the dance to engage with the people (other than this video was posted to youtube). Maybe it was sent to the news, maybe people DID stand at the exits to hand out info.

I do wonder what other steps were taken after the "dance". Seems like they did have news cameras there.
I also wonder if someone will google some keywords related to pink shirt day, find this thread, and respond to what goes on here somehow. ha

edit*
also,
pick an entirely overrated song
get kids to wear pink and do a gay dance

call it a day, we stopped bullying!

lol sounds like troll physics

also,
seems like the only people surrounding the kids were their parents. So maybe about a total of 12 people were truly taken by surprise?

[Vale46Rossi]

One issue is that you can NEVER stop bullying,

its in our hormones especially in males.

It's always animal nature to bully, and we are animals.

[snowball]

^ although it is true that we will probably never stop bullying there is much need to bring awareness to the effects of bullying regardless of how silly you think it is.

Yes it is nature to be competitive and possibly "bully" however, you cannot "bully" when you're an adult. Physical "bullying" would be considered assault and verbal bullying could be considered as uttering threats, libel and slander. If adults can't get away with bullying why should school-age children have to deal with it in their most fragile years?

We're not just talking about making fun of people or calling people fat here. There are various degrees of bullying and unfortunately the acts of bullying perpetrated by some can lead to suffering by innocent others ie/ columbine.

[zz]

While its questionable for their process of getting a point across, atleast they're trying to do something about this matter. No one in their right minds think they are going to achieve something as insane as stopping bullying altogether, like the few of you suggested here, sarcastically.

While your point begs the question "how the hell is this effective" I feel you shouldn't discredit something as useless if you've never volunteered your own time to do what they are doing. If you truly think it is ineffective, why not be helpful and give them feedback and show them your ideas?

And to those that say that in your days you just knocked out a bully, certain situations are completely different. Just because you overcame your bully by force doesn't mean another person is able to, or for that matter should take that course of action.

Your notion that you need to use violence in order to not be stupid is completely outrageous.

But that's my opinion since we have freedom of speech, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, whether they don't care about the issue at all (since this is the internet, and apparently on revscene there is some notion that real discussions are not useful) or just want to add witty remarks.

Actually, getting all the kids to work together on something in a cohesive group, probably reduced friction between cliques within the schools and there for reduced bullying inside of those two schools.

You know, if you want to talk about managing group dynamics, getting groups of people together that wouldn't usually associate and getting them to 1. do something fun and 2. do something they wouldn't normally do, breaks down standard patterns of behavior and builds large group cohesiveness and establishes a group norm of cooperation.

That's what dancing has to do with stopping bullying. The teachers who coordinated the event have probably defused any bullying problems in both of their schools in a very fun and easy way that doesn't involve having to suspend anyone or paint anyone as victims or perpetrators.

[b0unce. [?]]

I remember in elementary school, i wanna say grade 6... so anyways i used to get picked on by this kid in grade 7 who was notably bigger than i was. so one day during lunch he was pushing me around and just generally trying to instigate something. i ignored it cause i was totally owning playing ball hockey at the time. i waited till after school when we were all walking home, like usual he tried to fuck with me. i guess i just snapped, i turned around and swung the stick with 2 hands (this was one of those easton aluminum ones) and just smoked him across the face, then proceeded to kicking the living shit out of him. after that day, he literally stopped bullying kids for good (or just stopped messing with me, i think)

i mean bullies in general probably have self confidence and low self esteem issues. they pick on others in attempt to prove some sort of physical or mental dominance over the people he/she is surrounded by. i'm sure they want to look 'cool' in the eyes of his/her friends too. the fact that other people most likely fear is something they enjoy. i'm sure there are more things that factor in.
the real only solution is to man the fuck up about the situation and deal with it. by not confronting them, it basically tells them that they can continue to pick on you without any repercussions.

If anything, the douchebags at school the next day were like "hey, was that you on TV being a fag?"

I know that bullying is a highly complex and psychological and social problem.

Bullying is 1. a symptom of a larger problem not really the problem itself and 2. the target is also part of the problem not just a symptom (which no one wants to hear but is the truth none the less and the sooner we can own this part of the equation the faster we can deal with the problem) and 3. that problem is solvable.

There's some fantastic books and articles by various sociologists and psychologists on the evolutionary importance of group dynamics and I totally recommend people read them to have a better idea of why this shit happens and how to combat it.

Most bullying usually isn't about aggression but more about enforcing social norms. (There are what are called minority bullies but they're a smaller portion of bullies - these include kids with legitimate aggression issues usually they're defuse rather then targeted in their attacks though and they don't have the weight of the peer group behind them)

We see that when we put children in uniforms at school that there's an immediate drop in bullying. We see that shifting the group norm to make the bully the abnormal one immediately results in a drop in bullying behavior. We tend to see that when the bullied conform to the social norms the bullying lessens or disappears entirely. It's important to understand we're primates and as such we're conformist creatures who strive towards group cohesion. The bullied (or Target as they're called) presents a threat to or thumbs their nose at the norm completely. Unfortunately we're in an age where we want all our kids to be precious little snowflakes and as we put more value on individualism we see bullying behavior increase and become more extreme.

In this case since a large group went out and wore pink shirts and danced, they're not behaving 'abnormally' and unlikely to see any real heat unless their schools are absolutely huge and the group there represented only a very small portion of them. If only 1 or 2 of them had, that would be a WHOLE different story. Group norms shift like that so that on pink shirt day for example since EVERYONE wears a pink shirt it is more socially acceptable to do so than not to where as any other day wearing a pink shirt would be worthy of being bullied.

Unfortunately, most of our anti bullying programs fail because they treat the Bully as the only problem and fail to address the 1. Target as anything but a hapless victim for fear of treading on their individuality or damaging their self esteem 2. the group norms support the bullying and cast out the Target and 3. tend to further isolate the Target rather then integrate them into the group which actually makes the bullying worse. Where as programs that shift group norms to tolerate the Target, not the Bully or that encourage the Target to conform to group norms are the most effective.

tl;dr - Group dynamics are the issue. Not just the bully themselves.

[Tapioca]

Many of you are missing the point and I'm particularly jaded that some of you are criticizing something that took obviously a lot of organization and practice.

I did some acting in elementary and high school so I understand what a thrill it can be when you do something in front of an appreciative audience. Instead, we have people in here who put down these kids for doing something interesting and entertaining. No, it's not going to change the world, but why can't we just admire the effort and energy of these kids? If anything, I'm sure the event provided a great deal of self-esteem to a lot these youngsters which is something they'll need as they go out into the real world.

I understand your point of view and I don't believe anyone is actually putting down these kids.

The point is that they are trying to convey the idea that they are doing something to help bullying when in fact they are not.

In fact, we are deillusioning these kids in thinking we can solve realworld complex problems using idealogical methods that don't work.

You want to do something fun, put on a show for people, do something in public, sure, that's great.

But don't get the wrong idea from it, and I think these kids may in fact get the wrong idea from it. They are going to go home thinking "today I helped contribute to a bullying solution!", when really it should "we did flashmob today at a Oakridge, it was fun!"

You want these kids to actually help society? Have them volunteer at a soup kitchen. Visit some old folks home and have them talk with people there. Go to the beach and clean up garbage. Do something nice for terminally ill children. etc etc.

I can respect the flashmob for what it is, but in the end I do think it's a waste of energy and time, and doing the kids a great disservice in the long run if they are taught this is a way of solving problems, as opposed to just having fun.

[The_AK]

^
This is true, as I mentioned earlier the majority of the audience surrounding the "event" appear to be friends and family there to drop off and pick up their kids. They're pretty much watching a performance. I'm willing to say its not much different from kids dancing on stage in a school gym except this took place in the middle of the mall. What separates this from a dance in a school gym other than location?

funny how one simple dance resulted in all this

Some posters here are indeed putting down these kids, it's hard to miss.

As someone who does volunteer regularly with the ill, underprivileged and disabled, I have to disagree with your assessment about how useless the flashmob is. Kids aren't dumb, I doubt the majority of them will go home thinking they changed the world. Either way, people forget the power of awareness and recognition, particularly with an issue like bullying that stems from the social consciousness kids/teens.

By working together and participating, it's not unreasonable to think that they've gained a deeper appreciation of bullying problems... and hey maybe down the line when those elementary kids enter highschool and see bullying, they'll have the courage to stand up for their peers and help stop bullying directly.

[soowu]

bullying is nothing compared to back in the days where a bigger kid pushed around a small skinny kid . now you see teenagers running around with mace , batons and shit , and the funny thing is they would hang out at the mall with 30 people just loitering and just a little glance they would say " the fuck you starin at " than stare you down to intimidate and start some shit . most likely take your clothing's or the usual " YOU WANT BEEF" "

Hey guys, this video has raised my awareness and made me realize that i am a bully. From now on ill try not to bully the weaker kids.
Thanks for those that have danced to help me realize this fact. It surely has raised my awareness and has stopped at least 1 bullying incident :)
