After watching the fight between the two middle school students, please read the accompanying text. Do you believe that the victim's privacy has been breeched in this video? What to you believe would be just punishment for the attacker in this video. Do you feel that this type of threat exists at WFMS? How could you protect yourself from this type of attack? Should the victim and her family take legal action against the attacker in this video?

The girl who got jumped shouldn't have had to go through with the pain of the video being put where everyone could see it. I believe that the girl who taped and put the video on the internet should be suspended. She took the video on school campus and had no right to put on the internet. If I was the principal, I would have suspened the girl for more than they did. I feel that no type of fear or threat exists at WFMS. I would tell someone if I heard they were going to jump me or anyone else. Yes.... I think that the person who got beat up should sue for all that the other girl is worth.

I think that the victim’s privacy should not have been put on to youtube for everyone to see. The girl that taped it should have been suspended or more than a week. They should have never started the fight in the first place. When the girl was fighting she should have bit her somewhere. I think that the punishment should be that the girl should be kicked out of school for the rest of the year. I would protect myself by telling the principle or poking them in the eyeballs. I think that this type of fight would probably happen at WFMS because of what happened at the high school. I think that the victim’s parents should be under sued for their daughter hitting the girl as hard as she could and hurting her.

The privacy of the girl who got jumped has been ruined becuase every one watches youtube and thats alot of people that have watched that.I cant believe that girls were standing ther watching it and video taping it instead of stopping it.The girls who were video taping it should be suspended because they are just as bad if they are watching it.I think the girl fighting should be kicked out of school and not be able to come back and the girls video taping should be suspended more than a week.This type of fight could definitely happen anywhere so it could happen at WFMS.I think the parents of the bully should be sued and the parents of the video taper should be to because its just as bad.I no if KATELIND was my daughter i would sue for the video being posted and for no one being around to stop the fight or put an end to it.I would definitely fight back if a girl just came up to me and did that to me because I was taught to defend myself if anyone ever did that to me.
I think that the girl who got attacked was embarrassed, and I don't think a fourteen year old should beat up a thirteen year old. Her privacy has definitely been breached. The attacker in this video should have got a far worse punishment than what she did. If I was the principal then I would expel her. I don't feel that this type of threat exists at WFMS. I could protect myself by telling some people and the principal about it. If I were the victim who got attacked I would definitely sue.

I don't think the girl who video taped it should have put it on youtube because that is just wrong.
The 13 year old's reputation is now ruined because everyone all over the wolrd watches you tube videos. The attacker in this video I think should be expelled from that school.At WFMS there is no threat like this we have fights that no one is really going to get hurt.The way I would try to protect myself is try to stay on everyones good side if not don't say anything to them.No,because it is just a regular school fight.If she really got hurt then I would take legal action,but if it is just a fight then no I would take legal action.

When I first saw the blog I thought, “crazy”. But this does really happen. I know we have had things similar to this happen in our schools.
Was the victim’s privacy breeched? Yes and no. Yes, because no one needs to feel that everyone is watching them be beat up by someone else. Why did it have to be put on You Tube. I don’t know if that was necessary to have it on there for everyone to see. No, I don’t think the victim’s privacy was breeched in that there is proof on video that she was a victim and was being beaten up. No one went for help and it had to be planned out if someone was there to video the beating. So that can be used as evidence.
I believe the attacker should be expelled from school for her actions. I also think that she should have to go to a juvenile center and receive counseling on anger control issues.
Yes, I do think that this threat exits at our school and every school. Kids pick on each other, say nasty things, and don’t know when to stop. Some kids can handle their anger better than others. Some can just ignore the stupid things others say, other people take it more serious and then the fights occur. I think some teachers try to ignore a lot of what goes on in the halls and they shouldn’t, because some of the fights and mouthing off could be stopped before a fight broke out if an adult got involved.
One way I could protect myself from this type of attack would be to ignore the comments, and threats made to me by another person. It would be nice if the kids could feel that they could talk to the teachers and be protected but most kids don’t feel that they would be taken seriously and it could cause them more harm than help. Especially if the person threatening them found out. I would try to protect myself and if I had to I would fight back as hard as I could so I hopefully wouldn’t be hurt.
Yes, I think legal action should be taken. If more kids got into trouble for fighting and really were punished properly maybe there would be less fighting, teasing, threats, etc. Kids would know there is a consequence to their bad actions.

I do think that the victim's privacy has been breeched because its her right to tell people what is going on in her life, if she wants to. In my opinon a just punishment for the attacker would be to be suspended, just as someone who would normally get a fight would be. I do think that the person who filmed the fight should be punished too. Situations like that do probably exist at WFMS, just like they do at all schools. One way to protect myself from an attack is to not start anything with anyone and to always have friends who will have my back near me. I don't think that the victim's family should press charges because fights like this happen in everyday life in many schools across the country. Also, because in the movie it said that the victim threatened the attacker.

I think for the victim's sake, this video shouldn't have been put on Youtube. I think the attacker AND the person who filmed the video should be suspended for more than a week.Actually I think the one that video taped it should be punished more than the girl that beat the other girl up because she was using her cell phone on school campus. Though I don't know if they're allowed to use cellphones on campus I think it's wrong. I also think that her so called "friends" that locked her in there with the other girl should be punished too. I feel that to some people this kind of threat does exist at WFMS. One way of keeping this from happening to yourself it to try to make friends with everyone. If you don't like a person, you need to try to be nice to them and befriend them. That doesn't mean you have to invite them over to your house or anything, but at least in school be sensitive towards the feelings of the other person. I do think legal action should be taken because someone needs to show others that they can't mess with them or their family. This I'm sure has caused the family of Katelind Lewis a lot of pain, physical and mental, and I'm pretty sure it would help them if the took this case to the law.

After watching the video, I think that the victims personal business was shown to everyone with a reason. Just punishment would be expelled for the year. Yes, this threat is at WFMS. To protect yourself against fights, you shouldn't start crap or say anything about anybody weather they derserve it or not, it's wrong. I think the family should sue the attacker for physical/mental/emotional stress.
I think that the girl who got beat up's privacy has been violated by the other girls who taped the fight. Everyone saw it and they were free to leave comments about it. I think that the girl's punishment would be to get expelled from school and to have the video taken off youtube.
I don't think that this kind of thing would happen at WFMS. And to protect yourself from this attack, just don't mouth people off! And I don't think it was important enough to take legal action.
Yes, it has. Of course she not want thousands of people watching her getting beat up. I think she should be suspended for a long time, and I highly think that this kind of a treat exists at WFMS. The reality of this is that this girl who beat up the victim is going to be in a lot more trouble than any other person who gets into a fight on a daily basis, because there video was viewed so much and brought into the public eye and made the school look bad. Fights happen all of the time and are also posted on You Tube but the people usually don’t get into a lot of trouble like this fight, because it was decided that that video was to be kept under wraps. To protect yourself you would need just to keep far away from the incident. Also don’t spread the rumors and gossip around to a lot of people, and make sure you tell someone to help you prevent it like a teacher or someone like that. No, this sort of thing happens probably every day and the person is definitely going to be embarrassed but you do that to someone because they caused your embarrassment. If she caused any serious physical injuries than yes take legal action.

Yes,the victim's privacy was ruined because everyone could watch this video on youtube.The attacker should be expelled from school because she is a threat to other students.The student that video taped it should be suspended from school at least a couple of weeks.I believe this kind of threat wouldn't happen at WFMS.I believe the staff at WFMS would make sure the girl got a good punishment.You could help not getting attacked by not saying stuff to cause a threat and telling someone if they are going to get attacked.I think the family should take legal action againist the attacker for beating her up and hurting her that bad.

I think that the victim's privacy has been breeched because it’s her choice to tell about the fight. I think this video should not have been recorded or put on YouTube. The girl that taped this video should have gotten suspended for far more than a week; the video said she was only suspended for 10 days. I believe the attacker should have been expelled from school for her actions. I also believe that things like this can happen and possibly do happen at our school, WFMS. People say nasty things and pick on each other all the time. Although the fights at our school aren’t this bad, I believe a situation like this could happen. Some people can keep control of their temper better than others and some people just don’t let things bother them. Others let little things turn into big things and blow up. I think I could protect myself from this type of attack by not letting things easily bother me and trying to be friends with everyone. If I knew someone was going to beat me up, I would tell my parents or a teacher about the situation. I think the victim and her family should take legal action against the attacker in this video and easily win the case in court. If there were worse consequences for attackers, there would probably be less attacks and fights.

After watching this video if some one asked me if the victims privacy was breeched i would say yes.....because after the it went on youtube and now if every one sees her they will make fun of her.I think these girls she be suspended because it was bad enougt that they beat her up but they put it on youtube.This kind of stuff can happen any were including wfms.So to protect your self you shouldn't run your mouth. I think the victims family should take legal action cause even if it was at school it still shouldn't happen so it should be treaded like it would if it wasn't at school. GEORGE CORBIN
7TH PERIOD
I do think that the victims privacy has been invaded in this video. The girl should have never posted this video in the internet, let alone recorded it on her cell phone.
I think that the punishment for the attacker should have been worse then what they gave to her. They should have suspended her for longer than a week. Even if the victim of the fight did threaten her, she should have told a teacher instead of trying to handle it herself.
I don't think that this kind of threat exists at West Fairmont Middle School. Usually if there is going to be a fight, word gets around and a teacher usually finds out and prevents it from happening.
I would protect myself from this type of attack from staying out of stuff. Usually fights happen because of rumors or gossip. If I heard a rumor, I wouldn’t go around telling everyone. Half the time when I hear gossip, I don’t even believe it. Most of the time its not even true. Also, if someone said they were going to fight in the bathroom 5th period, I would tell someone. I wouldn’t want anyone getting badly hurt.
I do think that the parents of the victim should take action for what happened. The girl shouldn’t have even started beating her up in the first place, whether or not she threatened her. The school should have never let this happen to her. If I got beat up that badly, I hope my mom would sue or something.

I do believe the victims privacy has been breeched in the video of the Norwood Ohio fight. The video shows her getting attacked by another girl. This is humiliating and embarrassing for her. Everyone is looking at the video, people she knows and people doesn't know. I would feel so mortified if it were me. I would not want people seeing it and making fun of me.
I feel the attacker and the girl tapping this should both be expelled like they were. The girl tapping is just as much to blame as the girl doing the fighting. She could have stopped it,but she did not. She is encouraging the violence by tapping it. The school did the right thing.
I don't think there is a lot of fighting at WFMS. I have seen some fights, but teachers have always stopped them. If someone threatened me in any way, I think the best thing to do would be to tell a teacher or the counselor. I would try to get the problem stopped before it became violent.
The victim and her family should take legal action against the attacker and the girl behind the camera. This legal action would be for the invasion or the victims rights, not for the fight itself. Taking action against the two girls would show others this is not right, and not to envade a person's privacy.

I do think the victim’s privacy was breeched. The girls who videotaped it shouldn't have put it online. I guess it was a good thing she did though, because an authority found it, and took care of it. But, I think if it hadn't been put online, the girl would have gone to an adult and told them, and it could have been handled more discretely.
I think the punishment for the attacker should have been suspended for the rest of the year, not just a week. She could have seriously hurt the other girl, and should be punished more than that.
I think this type of threat exists in any school. I mean, at any school you go to, there's going to be that one student who doesn't care about the consequences, and has their mind set on beating someone up, they're going to do it. It's like that at pretty much every school. Whether it’s like this fight or someone gets badly injured, or someone just punches someone else.
I could protect myself by telling a school official right away if I found out about it. If I didn't find out about it until it actually happened, I would defend myself. If some girl starting wailing on me like that, I would hit her back! And it wouldn't be light either. I mean, I wouldn't intentionally go up and start a fight, but if someone started hitting me like the attacker in the video, and I was getting hurt, you better believe I'd be hitting her back.
I only think they should sue them if she got hurt.. If she really didn't get hurt, them I don't think it would be necessary.

I do think that the victim’s privacy was breeched in this video because anyone can watch it on You Tube. I agree with one of the other comments, is that this should have never been recorded or put on You Tube! I think the punishment for the attacker should have been expulsion. The attacker should be expelled for more than a few weeks. I also think that her so called "friends" should be expelled too. No, I don't really think that this kind of threat happens in our school. I do know that there are some threats and some violence in our school but not nearly as bad as the violence in this video!!
One way for me to protect myself from this type of attack is if someone told me that I was going to be beat up I would immediately tell a teacher or tell my parents! Well, I kind of think that the girl and her family should take legal action against the attacker because if the attacker really did some damage to the girl she could be hurt for life!

Yes, I think that was very wrong and mean, and if someone did that to me, I would tell the principal, board of education, or the police about the video and show it to them. They had no right to beat her up. The attacker should get expelled or sent to juvenille hall, or both. Well, yes, but I don't think someone would put it on the internet, or video tape it. Don't spread rumors, or try to reason with the person who is trying to fight me. Yes, I know I would. I think the attacker should get what she deserves, and attacking her best friend? of all people?

This video was brutle and mean.
Yes,I think the victim's privacy has been breeched in this video. Because the person who taped it put in on the internet for everyone to see. I believe that the
punishment for the attacker should be expeled. Yes,I think this type of threat does exists at WFMS because it really does happen,kids fight all the time. I could protect myself from this attack get better friends and stay away from gossip. The family should take legal action because the girls beat her up,video taped it,and put it on the internet for everyone to see. I know my family would. This video was wronge and I don't think that violence does solve anything.

In this video I think that the victims privacy was breeched. I definitely think that the video should not have been posted on youtube. Also on this video I dont think that her name should have been mentioned. She probably doesn't want to broadcast thhe fact that she got beat up. I think the attacker should be expelled from school. Also the person videotaping should have been expelled ,too. I think that it is definitely possible that this could happen at WFMS. I would protect myself from the attack by not going in to the bathroom and if this happened I would shield my face. I think the victim should take legal action.

The victim's privacy shouldn't have been on youtube.They should have been like never should be able to go to that skol agian.I think that it do exisits at wfms and then i don't .i could protect myself from this type of attack by not running my mouth and chose the rite bffs.yes they should take legal action so that anyone who tries to fight that way they would think about what happen.and not do it becuz like they went to juvie or something

In the Norwood Ohio Fight video, I believe that the victim’s privacy has been breeched. I believe this because no one should be video-taped while they are doing something as humiliating as being beat up. I believe the just punishment for the assailant is to suspend the attacker for 10 days. Then the victim’s parents should set a court date, and a jury should determine the fate of the attacker. In my opinion, the attacker should be placed in a juvenile delinquent center for a period of eight to ten months. I think that this kind of behavior does exist at WFMS. I believe this kind of threat exists because There will always be here say about anyone and anything. And as a consequence the here sayer will be attacked by the person being talked about. Or by a group of people who are friends with the person being talked about. I think you could protect yourself by not talking any trash about anyone. And if you do, keep those thoughts in a journal of something. I strongly believe that the victim’s parents should take a serious legal retaliation against the attacking of their daughter. I believe this because if this problem is not solved, then it will serve as a basis for more of these kinds of brutal disputes.

I think the girl who was beat up, did not deserve it to be video taped and put online. I do believe that the victims provacy has been breeched. I think the attacker of this video should be suspended for a much longer time than she was. I think the girl who video taped it should be suspended longer than the attacker, because she had no right to tape it. I think that this isnt a big problem at WFMS, for now. Girls seem to be getting into more fights than they use to though. If this were to happen to me, and I knew about it, I would tell a teacher and my parents. Hopefully, they would be able to fix the situation. If I didn't know about it, and they person attacked me, I'd probably just run away. I do think that the victim and her family should take legal action, just because its not right the way she video taped it. I do think that since she DID know about it, that she could have prevented it from happening.

I think that after that girl got jumped that the worst thing to do to her was to post the video on the web so everyone could see it. I think that she should have all of the injuries that she did to that girl done back at her so that she feels what that girl felt when she got jumped. And she should go to one of those guarded schools where bad girls go. I think that it could happen at our school at times and at other times it couldn't. To protect myself from a attack like that girl I would stay away from all of the mean people at school and not say anything about them behind there backs. if I was that girls parents I would so press REALLY REALLY big charges on them for jumping her.
I do believe that the victim's privacy has been breeched because it is wrong to know that people are going to look at you get beat up and it is mean when kids decide that they are going to let the whole world see it. I think a fair punishment would be to send her to a juvenile delinquent center where she might get beat up. I do believe it exist in West Fairmont Middle School. I would try my best to be friends with everyone and to try not to spread rumors about other students. It would be fair to take legal action, but that also may put their their daughter at risk for another attack and it could also cause her to lose some of her friends. This is my BLOG.

I do believe that the victim's privacy has been breeched in this video. No one should have to be humiliated like that on youtube. I know I wouldn't want to be. I think the attacker should at the least 3 weeks suspension. Maybe even expelled, because she was really violent. The person who put the video on youtube, should be punished along with the attacker.
I could not say I feel this type of threat exists at WFMS. Its a possibility, but not a likely one. I've seen fights at our school, and usually the teachers try to stop it in any way they can. If it was in the girls locker room, that is a different story, considering the phys ed teacher is a guy. But I don't think anyone in my phys ed class would try to fight anyone else. If I saw a fight in the locker room, I'd either try to stop it (probably along with all the other girls.), or tell Mr.Keener. I think I could protect myself from this type of attack by basically try to be nice to everyone, always stay in groups where ever I am, and don't threaten anyone, or make them angry. I really think that the victim and her family should sue the attacker and her family, because it was a pretty violent fight. It wasn't one that was stopped right away either. If the victim really did threaten the attacker, then maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to sue. But it could go either way depending on what really happened. =-]
The victim's privacy has definitely been breeched. The people who posted this video had no right to do that to her.
The attacker should be suspended for two weeks. Fighting is a crime and it is unacceptable. Try to work out the problem with the other person instead of fighting.
This type of threat exists anywhere. WFMS is no exception. This could've happened to anyone but it shouldn't have happened at all. There have been fights at WFMS before and there probably will be more just because of the large amount of students. Some people just don't get along.
To protect yourself from this type of attack, I wouldn't start rumors or spread gossip. Also, stay away from people you don't get along with and think before you say something. It might save you from getting attacked.
The victim should take legal action because fighting is a form of battery, and you can take battery to court. It would make the attacker think before she attacks someone next time.

Yes, I really think that the victim's privacy was breeched in this video! I can't imagine how humiliated she must be and how embrasssing it must be for her to go to school. I think that the girl who attacked the victim and the girl who video taped it should be suspended for longer than they were. I also think they should have to apologize for what they did. I think that this type of attack could happen at WFMS because if you went into the girls' locker room you could easily hold the door shut and tape a fight with a cell phone or a small video camera. I think this would have to be planned ahead though because it can't be a spur-of-the moment thing. To prevent this from happening to me, I wouldn't make any threats or try to anger anyone to the point where they just snap. I don't think that they should take legal action because it's kind of hard to tell what really happened. They said in the video that the girl that got attacked actually made the first threat.
Megan DeJong 8th Period
I think that the victims privacy has been breeched to the maximum. If you were that girl who was attacked, I don't think that you would like it very much for people to be beating you up and posting it online for others to see because you would already be embarassed enough for getting beat up let alone people you don't know watching it.
I think the attacker should recieve suspension because she should have known better not to fight a girl and expecially not on film. I think that she should be taught some manners and shouldn't have laid a finger on the other girl untill she got her facts right.
At WFMS this type of threat is very possible. You never know what a person is capable of. I think that if you want to fight someone you should have great reasoning, like if they wanted to kill you.
But other than that i see no reason to hurt the people who you live with.
To protect yourself from this type of attack would probably be a great challenge because sometimes it is unexspected. So what I would do is be nice to everyone and make fun of no one.
The victim probably should not take legal action over this film and incident because i think that after all of this that girl learned her lesson. I think that it was a mistake that alot of people could make and i think that she already got her scare and should have been suspended longer. I dont really think that that girl will ever do anything like that again.
♥Mehgan Haskiell 5th pd.♥
I think that it is completely unfair of that person to put that video on youtube. If that were to happen to me I would take leagel action. I think there should be a way to take that video off of youtube. And anyone who went to watch the video is wrong too. The sad thing is there are probably things like that that happen all the time. I think that there should be punishment far beyond expelshen. they should be kicked out of school for rest of her life. She will probably never be accepted into any colleges. And she will probably never get a well paying job. So even if she isn't being punished now, she will be in the future.

Yes I did think the girls privacy was violated because she had to go through the embarrassment of her getting jumped on Internet were the whole world could see it. That’s not right I bet the girl posting it never once thought of the other girls feelings. I think the attacker should get 2 weeks and if there were any other problems I would dismiss her from the school. Kind of if you do something to tick someone off yea but other wise no. By telling an adult if you knew it was coming. Yea sure I mean that’s not right to just jump somebody younger for no reason.

I don't think that the girl who put it on the internet should have done that becuse it was bad enough that seven girls trapped her into the bathroom. When I watch this video it makes me sick to the stomach because she has to be so embarassed for it to be on utube. I think all people that were involved should be susspended and the figther and the girl who took the video should be in juvenile. Yes I believe that this could happen at West Fairmont Middle School because I think it could hppen at ny school. I would protect this by having my friends with me and having a teacher nearby. I think the attacker's parents should be sued but I also think the videotaper's should be too for letting her post it on utube.

Yes, I think that her privacy has been way violated. This is horeable no one sould ever tape something like this. I think the attacker's punishment should be that she doesn't get to come back to that school. The reason I think she sould not be able to go back is because, you saw what she just did, and she could easily do it again. I don't think that this exists at WFMS but some of the stuff said at our school could escalate to this. You could protect yourself from this by staying away from the kind of people into this stuff. Yes, I think the family of the victim should take legal action because that is rediculous behavior and so inapropreit.
Taylor Gross 2nd
Yes, I think that everyone should have a right to privacy. If something happens to you, then you should make the decision of whether to keep it private or not. Her privacy has been breeched because this video was posted for everyone to watch. I believe expulsion is the rightful punishment for both the attacker and the video taper for she is also in the wrong. I do believe that this type of threat could exist at WFMS. Every school has an atmosphere that could lead to threats and violence, including ours. You could protect yourself from this type of attack by telling someone if you thought something could occur, or by making it so that no one has a reason to attack you. Yes, I believe that the victim and her family should take legal action because the attacker�s actions are against the law. Plus, people should be forced to take responsibility for their actions.

I do think her privacy was breeched. She shouldnt have been suspended, she should have been expelled.7-on-1 isnt right. She could have probably defended herself better if it was just one. Um...Yeah this threat exists in WFMS. If you have 400 kids in the same building for 6 hours, somethings going to happen. I dont know about anyone else but I would fight back as hard as I could. I know how to defend myself. And yes they should take legal actions.

I believe the victim’s privacy has been breeched in this video because the fight was published on YouTube for anyone and everyone to see. I think the just punishment for this brutal attacker is going to an alternative learning center (ALC) and learning how to deal with their anger. Yes, I know there have been fights at WFMS and that the threat of them is relevant. To protect yourself from being attacked you should avoid people that you don’t like or you are afraid of. I think the victim should defiantly take legal action against the attacker because, it was unnecessary and stupid.
I totally think that the girl’s privacy was breeched. Those girls watching the fight didn’t really have the right of video taping it and putting it on the internet. I think they should have asked both the girls in the fight if the could put it on YouTube. Also the girls watching the fight shouldn’t have just stood there and watch or video tape it. They could have done something to stop it even if they didn’t what to and I don’t understand why they just let their friend fight like that, she could have been the one that got beaten up instead of the other girl. I know that if I was one of the girls on the video I would diffidently not want it on the internet.
I am not really sure what I think the punishment for the attacker would be for in this video. I guess she should be expelled because she was the one who started the fight. I also think she should just be suspended because she was the one who was threatened but I don’t really know; those girls shouldn’t really be fighting in school anyways.
I think that this threat does exist in WFMS and any other school in the world, too. You never know who could be in a fight. Some people plan on when to fight and some fights happen out nowhere. They are usually started by someone saying something to someone and that person not liking what he/she said. Others can be started from threats and more that I can’t think of right now.
I think that I could protect myself for this kind of attack by doing avoiding something that can cause me to be in a fight. To avoid fighting you could be a nice person and not say anything that is mean or rude. Also if someone says something mean to you, you can be the bigger person and not say anything back to get in a fight. I can protect myself from this incidence by not making any threats to people saying I’m going to beat them up or something related to that. I can just be respectful to people and not say anything that I don’t want them to hear.
I honestly cannot say if the victim should take legal action because I’m not in their position and don’t know what they are feeling and going through. If I was in their position, sure I could say but I’m not. Well……… if I was forced against my will I would say to not take legal action because the victim did make a threat which kind of started the fight. I also say she should because the attacker didn’t have to start fighting and beat her up and she should have told an adult she was threatened by the victim.

I think that the video of the girl getting beat up should not have been on youtube and it did invade the victim’s privacy. I think that the attacker in this video should have been expelled and the girl that video taped it should have been expelled. I think that this could happen at WFMS because this just happened in Ohio and there have been bomb threats lately. You could protect yourself from this kind of attack by staying with another person that could help you or staying in sight of a teacher or principle. I don’t think that the victim’s family should take legal actions because fights like this happen everyday except for most of them aren’t posted on youtube.

I really liked this video because I like watching fights. I think that the victims privacy has been breached because someone taped the fight and posted it on the internet . I think possibly be placed in a juvenile detention center or get suspended or possibly expelled. I do not believe that this type of threat doesn’t exist at wfms. I would stand up and fight back and not let him/her make those kind of blows on me. I think that their family should sue them for all they have and more. I really did like this video a whole lot.

I do believe that the victim’s privacy has been breeched in this video, because now everyone that has seen this happen now knows the whole fight and what was going on. I think the attacker should be put in juvenile because not only did she beat the girl up but she had other girls tape it and then put it on the web.
I do believe that fighting happened at West Fairmont Middle just not to that extent. I mean there I at least one fight that occurs in a school but they aren’t taped or put on the web.
You could prevent this by not yelling, auguring, threatening, or talking behind someone’s back.
The victim and her family should take legal charges against the family, She may be in court awhile but she would win. As long as the victim didn’t start the fight in any way.
Courtney Sloan 1st period
Yes, I believe that the victim’s privacy was violated. I can relate to how the girl who was attacked would feel, so humiliated and embarrassed. I wouldn't want a thousand people to watch me get beat up.
I think the perfect punishment for the attacker would be that she would be the one that was getting beat up and video tapped and broadcasted all over the internet ( haha just kidding.) I agree with the punishment that they received.
I feel that there is always a possibility that a similar incident could occur at WFMS. There are some fights at school but nothing too serious before it is broken up.
I could protect myself by avoiding conflicts with other people. Another good way to prevent this is to have friends with you at all times.
Yes, the victims family should take legal action against the attacker because people need to realize that they can't do things like this and get away with it.

I think that yes the girl's privacy was breeched in this video because she doesn't deserve to have a beating on the World Wide Web. I think it's just wrong to do that to someone. I think that the girls should just be just suspend because even though it was wrong to fight, they did have to defend themselves. I think that yes in some situations, it can sometimes occur. To avoid this type of attack, you could tell the teacher or you could tell an adult that is able to help you in some way. No, I don't think that they should take legal action because it's just a middle school fight and they had the right to defend themselves.

yes, I think that the victims privacy has been breeched in this video because you should have your own free space and the girl in this video has lost hers completely.I think that the attacker in this video should be expelled from the school for the rest of the year and she shouldn't be able to come to any school activities.I don't think that the threat is that bad here but it still exists in the school.You can protect yourself by trying to stay away from all of the school bullies and just try to act normal when you are around them and you can't be threatened by them. I think that this family should take legal action because what the attacker did was wrong and she should be punished by the law.

I thnik the victim's privicty shouldn't have been posted on youtube for the wourld to see. I think the girl who jumped her should be expled from school for the year. The girl who taped it should also expled from school. I think this treat happens at WFMS and everywhere else. Yes I thnik the victims family should take legal actions becaus if not this might happen agin.
I think the victims privacy has been breeched because what happened to her is private and no one should she it out side of the school board and her family. I think the attacker should be expelled and sent of to some facility for bad children. I am not very sure that there is that kind of threat at WFMS but there probably is. You could protect your self from this kind of attack by always being around you friends or groups of people. I think they should because the attacker did a horrible thing and should learn to take responsibility for her actions.
I believe that the victim's privacy was breeched in this video. The girl who taped the fight and put it on youtube really had no right to do that. I believe that the person who started the fight should be suspended for 2 weeks or at least more than they did. The girls who were 14 years old should not have done that to someone younger than them. It is deffinantly not fair to the girl who got hurt especially if it is 7 against 1. I am not sure if this type of threat exists at WFMS because I am a new student and I dont really know all of the people that well. To protect myself from this kind of fight would be the fist minute I heard this was going to happen I would tell a teacher or an adult. I think that the victim should take legal action because if it were me i would not want a video of me on youtube where it is being broadcast all over the world. I would want to take it off the internet. Although, it was mentioned that the victim had treatened the attacker that she was going to start the fight.
Olivia Duke
1st period
I totally believe that the victim's privacy was invaded in this video. I hate watching things like this because it is hard for me to think that this situation could happen to anybody including me. I think the punishment for the attacker should be very harsh.The attacker should be ashamed of herself because she pretty much has ruined any good reputation for herself. She should be just as embarassed as the victim was. She should be expelled for this school year. The attacker should be sued by the victim because of all the stress and humiliation the attacker caused.
I truly believe that threats like this exist at WFMS. Threats like this probaby happen in all schools. Everybody thinks that west side's middle school is horrible which lots if kids are. People that say this shouldn't give the whole school the reputation that they give us. Threats to fight happen atleast once a week at WFMS, but not all kids do this. I think the kids that are not repremanded as much as the kids that are, are usually the ones that threaten their peers.
The way I protect myself can be easy and can be difficult. I pick people that I can trust at any time
to be my friends. You just have to find out alot about a person before you consider them as a friend. Truly, people don't have very many people that they can call friends and that they can trust at all times. People like you usually have acouple friends and all the rest aquaintances.
The victim and her family should definently take legal actions against th attacker in this video because they have every right to. If the attacker wanted to play the school year safely and wise, She should of never embarassed and humiliated the victim.

I believe that the victim went through more than she should've whenthe video got posted on You Tube. I believe that the attacker was rightfully punished. Some people might nopt agree with that but the school did what they could by suspending her for fighting, so really they can't do any more than what they did to her. I beieve that this threat does exist in WFMS. Really there is talk of a fight everyday just most of the time the fight doesn't happen, but when it does then this is the potential of the fight. I'm sure that this girl heard that she was gonna get beat up before this happened, so you could talk to an adult that you could trust to help you stay clear of the fight. I don't see how they could. It was a fight we don't even kno if she had the video set up so tht she could put it on You Tube.
Tommy Bice

I think that the girls privacy shouldn't have went out because that's between all of the girls that were there. I think the attacker should be suspended from school for a whole month because she could have just dropped or told an adult. Yes, I do feel this could happen at are school because this kind of thing can happen anywhere. You could tell a teacher even your parents. Well, it all depends if the victim said something to her or not. If she didn't say anything I would.
Sierra Greenlee

I think that these girls were way out of line. They could have settled there problem some other way than breaching that poor girls privacy and video tape it so they can humiliate her. I think that they should have been suspended for longer, and maybe even expelled. Also, for the leagel system they should either be fined or even put in juvinille hall. I think that this threat exists everywhere, although i don't think that anybody at our school would video tape it. To protect yourself you could tell a teacher or abother person of authority. I think that the family should take leagel action against these terrible people.
Yes I think the girls privacy has been breached I mean it definatly should not have been on youtube. I think the attacker should have been suspended for a month. I think this threat definatly is at WFMS if someone said things about someone or made fun of them. Well I am not intirely shure how I would protect myself I couldn't avoid them forever. I think the family should take legal action she beat up that girl bad enough she was scared and embarresed to go to school.
I think that the girl that was the victim was not guilty at all. Her privacy indeed was invaded, and a lot at that! She shouldn't have had to go through all of that embarassment anyway!
The girl, (the attacker) went to far in the fight. She should not have bit her or anything else she did! That fight was horrible (Even though I've seen worse!) and should have been prevented! I do believe that they could have solved their problems before it had to go that far!
Now, the girl or girls who videotapped the fight should not have even did that! First off, they shouldn't have even recorded it on their cell phone! Second, they really had no right to post that to the World Wide Web. That was unbelievable!!! If I was one of the girls in the fight (mainly the victim)I'd be so mad and humiliated if someone did that to me.
I think that the punishments given were ok, but should have been worse.
And, yes I do think that this is possible for WFMS to have these type of problems.

(First off this video should have never been put on youtube.)
In this video the privacy of many people were breached. Posting the video breached the victim's privacy. The victim should have been able to choose if the video would have been put on youtube or not. The second was of the videographer. It was wrong for the school to get involved in what she did after school. They have no right to say she could not give it youtube. The third privacy in my option was the schools. Even though they should not be able to say to the videographer that she can not post the video but the video harms everyone in the school and potrays it as a nasty school.
In this paragraph I will be talking about the punishment and the threat in many of the school in America. Lets start out with the punishment. The attacker should be expelled immediately and should be held accountable in court for her actions (This means that the victim's family should press charges). Now lets talk about the threat. In this fight they say the victim was threating the attacker if so she should be held accountable for her actions as well. The threats are just not in there school. It is in many schools around they nation. It is a terrible action and should be punished. There is one easy way to stop they threats. Do not say them and don't react to them unless necessary

Yes, I believe that the victims privacy has been violated, because this is all over the internet. People can find out where she lives and what her phone number and email are.
I believe that the attacker and the girl that videotaped it should be expelled from school.
No, I do not feel this type of threat exists at WFMS because there are teachers at nearly every corner we go around. The school also has a "No Tolerance" policy. Which means in a fight that isn't even half as bad as this kids are nearly suspended for a week. SO I feel pretty safe.
I would tell an adult, teacher, or my parents even if I heard a rumor that me or any of my friends were going to get jumped or beat up.
Yes, the victim's family should take legal action. What that girl did was very wrong and she shouldn't get just suspended.
Jacob Freeland 2nd period
I do think that the victim's privacy has been breeched in this video because when the girls put the video on youtube it is going around the whole world. I think that the attacker should have been kicked out of school for the remaining of the school year and the victum should press charges. I think that this type of threat does exists at WFMs because you never really know what anyone is going to do or anything. I beleive that this threat exists in pretty much any school from my opinion. If you wanted to protect yourself then you could tell a teacher or an adult but only if you new it was going to happen sooner or later. Yes, I think the victum and her family should take legal action against the attacker in this video.
Kayla Wyatt

I this video the girl's privacy had been breeched which it shouldn't of been. I don't think they should of pt that on youtube because after they put it on there, it's just going to go on other websites. If i was her I be very mad at the person or people who video taped because if they think that is so entertaining then they should grow up. She had no right to out that video on youtube. I don't think that this kind of fight would happen at WFMS. I would tell someone about the fight. Well it really dependsbecause the person that you tellon might beatyou up. But if it was something else then I would tell. I think the person should sue unless she kind of said something or talked about the other person becaus it is kind of her fault that the figh happened.
I believe that the victim’s privacy was breached in the video. I don’t think the girls in the locker room should have stepped in and help the girl. Plus, they should not have uploaded the video to YouTube. I think the attacker could have had a longer suspension that just one week. I don’t think that great of a threat is here at WFMS. You can protect yourself from this kind of an attack by avoiding going around the “attacker” and by not opening your mouth and firing mean things back. I don’t think they family should take legal action because the girl could have avoided the situation and told someone she trusted that she feared that she might get hurt.

I think the privacy of the victim in this video was greatly violated; this girl will definitely have some trouble going back to school. I think the attacker should have been suspended for twice as long as she was, or expelled for the nine weeks. I think this type of threat exists at WFMS. I see it almost every week. I think people like this just don't have any values. I think I am protected well enough; it's rare that there is actually a fight; but I still feel unsafe at times. I think the victim's family should try to stay away from each other but take legal action if needed. That is all.
Zack Herberger
1st period
Yes the girl's privacy has been breached. First off, nobody should be filming in a bathroom, and second nobody wants to be beaten up and then laughed at the next day because of it. I believe the punishment for this girl should be much more than what she got. She was only suspended for a week, but she is being tried too so we'll see how that turns out. Attacking someone like that is ILLEGAL. It is called assault and battery. It is tried with serious punishments, as it should be. Anyway, yes this threat exists. It exists anywhere where you have multiple people. I would protect myself from this kind of attack by trying to get away first off, but if you are surrounded like this girl was, then I would try to get in a bathroom stall or something. Yes her family should take legal action! Like I said earlier, this girl committed a crime, and she should be justly punished for it!
I think the girl's privacy in the video was violated. I feel that the girl who beat up the 13 year old and the girl who videotaped the fight should be suspended for one year. I think this threat could happen at WFMS. I've seen some nasty fights at the school. I think the best way not to be in a fight is to be friendly with everyone. I think the victim's parents should sue the school if they don't handle this the way they like. If they sue the school and the parents of the girls, maybe it won't happen again.

Bulling
Some reasons people bully are: jealously, want attention, bad home life, dislike the person, and much more. It doesn’t matter what the reason people shouldn’t bully. If students have problems with other people they should go to the consular or someone in authority. Students shouldn’t bully because it’s hurtful to others, and it’s a good way to get your self in trouble. There are shows I watch were children get bullied, and the bully looks big, mean, and scary. Why would someone want to have that kind of reputation? Wouldn’t kids like to have some friends that really like them for who they are rather then because you make them? I think any bully remember the saying” if you can’t say anything nice don’t say it at all”.

yes,I think that the victims privacy has been breachedby putting it where everyone can see it. I think that the girl who taped and posted the video should be suspened and, have to wright the girl that was in the video (the one that got jumped) a letter explaining how she is sorry and that that she should never have recoreded the jump, much less been a part of it the girl should also be suspended. Yes, belive that this type of threat exsist here at WFMS and everywhere else.don't make threats, don't start fights that have no value what so ever. Tell an adult if you hear anything like this and try not be a part of it by spreding the rumor to the wrong type of people. I think the girl could press charges but I don't entirely know how she could.
st period Nakoma (C.K.)
The victim’s privacy was abused here; this video should have never been put on the internet. There was no way for her to escape this because she was locked in a bathroom, and outnumbered by enemies. This kind of thing happens a lot, but not to this extent. I mean that by the amount of publicity this received, and how much of a drastic reaction America had. People acted as if they had no idea that fights go in within schools. I think there should be no legal action taken, but I think that the attackers should be suspended for quite a while or maybe even expelled.
Phillip Colasessano 1st period
Yes the victim's privacy has been invaded becasue she was video taped wiithout permission.I think that the attacker should get expelled from school. Yea this fight probably would happen at west fairmont middle school. I could protect my self by not going tinto the bathrooms at school or just running out of the bathroom if this happened to me.I think that the girl who attacked the girl and the girl who taped it should be sued for putting it on youtube.
I think it's horrible that someone would video tape this and put it on youtube. It must be embarrassing to know someone has put a video of you fighting on youtube.
I think that the attacker in this video should be expelled. I don't think that this goes on at WFMS.
I would try to avoid talking about other people behind their backs and try to stay clear of people who fight.
I think that the attackers parents should take legal action against the attacker.
Rachel Waskis.
5-6th period.
I feel that the victim’s privacy has been breached on more than one level. This will hurt her self-confidence and this will hurt her social life as well. The attacker should be suspended for about five days, although she may have felt threatened and can say it was self defense. I also feel that the one who video taped this attack should get in some trouble as well. She is the one who went around showing people and by putting it on youtube made it available for anyone to view. I think this type of threat exists at every school including WFMS. The victim and her family should not take legal action because the victim threatened the attacker which drove her to this act of violence.
Shane Richardson 1st
This Video is awful.
Yes i believe the victoms rights was breached, this should have never been viewed by the public.
I think the person who took the video of this and submitted it should be suspended along with the attacker.
The person who videod is just as guilty as the girl who started the fight.
I do think this type of thing could happen at WFMS or at any school.
You could Protect yourself by minding your own business keeping your mouth shut and try not to be alone.
There is always someone out there looking for trouble
Legal action would be possible
Audia Bartlett
7th period
I think that the victim’s privacy has been violated. I feel that way because this video is all over the internet and she is probably humiliated and upset that people viewed her getting hurt. I think that the attacker should be expelled from school. She didn’t only beat up the girl, but she had it videotaped. I don’t think that this type of threat exists at our school. I feel that WFMS is safe. I would tell someone if I was getting threatened so that this kind of situation would not arise. I think that the victim should take legal action against the attacker because she got hurt, humiliated, and has to live the rest of her life having a video of her getting beat up on Youtube.
This was a shocking video. We all know that fights happen at school, but it was strange to be watching this. Yes, I do think that this victim’s privacy was breeched. If this happened to one of my friends, I wouldn’t want the whole world to see it. It is embarrassing enough to get beat up, let alone having everyone look at it without your permission.
I think that the attacker, the person taking the video and all the girls standing around should be punished. They should be suspended from school. The attacker should have the strictest punishment. She should be suspended and have to do community service in a women’s shelter for battered women, or something like that.
I do believe that fights go on at WFMS, I have seen them. I do think it is getting better though. What was terrible about this video is that they trapped the girl in the bathroom. She couldn’t even get out if she wanted to. One way she might have avoided this situation was to tell a teacher or the principal. Most people would think she is a tattle tale, but who wants to get beat up? I think the victim’s family should take legal action against U-Tube. I know they have rules, but when this girl is being humiliated by everyone, it isn’t fair. I can tell you that if that was my sister, I wouldn’t like it at ALL!! This girl will have that picture in her mind the rest of her life, and that isn’t fair! So many situations can be stopped when you just stop and think of the consequences. I bet that girl didn’t think she would get in so much trouble. I thought it was crazy that her father was shocked, but then totally started taking up for her. That wasn’t right!
I do believe the victim's privacy has been breeched because the attacker had no other reason to attack the other girl. Also, why would the girl have told her friends to lock her in the locker room? I don't have an explanation for why but, I do believe her privacy has been breeched.
The punishment for the attacker should be exspelled and the videotaper three weeks suspension.Finally for the victim nothing. The reason why is because she never did anything to the attacker so nothing should happen to her.
Not really but you can never be to sure. My suggestion to protect yourself is to know who your friends are and to try not to have any enemies. That is pretty much aa I can suggest to protect yourself.
The victim should have taken legal action because there was no reason for that fight. It was totally uncalled for.So yes they should have taken legal action.

I believe that the victims privacy was breeched because it was put on youtube fro everyone to see. Many people watch youtube so many people probably watched it. A just punishment for the attacker would probably be two weeks, but nothing will ever make the victims pain go away. I do not believe this threat exist at WFMS because we have people who watch over the school. Like our principal, vice principal, and dean of students. You can protect your self from this type of attack by having good friends who would not put you in this type of danger also believe that the parents of the victim should take action and sue the attacker because what the attacker did was a crime and wrong.

In this video of the Norwood Ohio fight, I do think that the victim's privacy was breeched. I think that the ounishment for the attacker would be to suspend her ,and make sure she can not have any contact with the victim. I think that this type of threat exist at our school also. I think that this threat actually exist at all schools,honestly. A fight can break out at any time or place, because there is no saying of what people are cable of doing. I know that I can protect myself from type of attack by telling an adult about the situation if I know it will get out of hand, try to talk to the person that is trying to fight me so we can work it out without violence, avoid drama at all cost, or last but not least, I could just learn how to fight so I won't get beat up. =D I think that it is up to the victim, if she wants to take legal action. If she ffels that this the best way to protect herself, then she should. Personally, I think that they should only press charges if she was seriously hurt or injured, but if it wasn't that bad, then she sould just live with the fact.

I do believe that the victim's privacy has been invaded. I think that the attackers as well as the video tapers who recorded the attack should be expelled from the school. I think that there is a threat of something like this happening at WFMS, just not this extreme. I think that you could protect yourself from this type of attack by working out and looking big or you could just get fast so that you could run away. The victim and her family could definitely sue for a lot of money. They could also file a restraining order so the attackers couldn’t get within a certain distance of her.
There's no doubt the victims privacy was breeched. The attacker should be in big trouble. The victim probably didn't want everyone in the world to be able to veiw her getting beat up. The offender should be either suspended or expelled. If I was the princaple I wouldn't put up with it. I don't really think that kind of threat really exists in WFMS. WFMS takes bullying and everything very seriously. To protect myself from this kind of attack I'd try to just avoid the person. Or I would have a friend go places with me. They probably shouldn't take legal action. If it was me I would only do that if I had gotten injured.

I do believe the victim's privacy has been breeched because, this video has been posted to the web, where everyone can see it. i think the attacker should be expeeled for the rest of the school year and be tried for juvinille deliinquit hall. I do feel that this type of threat exists at WFMS because, about once a week there is a fight at our school. You can protect yourself from this kind of thing by staying in groups, and don't go any where without a friend or friends. Yes, because the victim was humiliated and was also hurt in this action.
Yes I believe that the victim's privacy has been breached.The attacker should go to a juivenial center and get sued. Yes I believe that this threat does exist at WFMS. I have heard some of these threats.You can tell a trust worthy teacher and go to the bathroom with a friend or teacher.Yes the attacker should take legal action.
I think the victims privacy was breeched in this video because no one likes to see some one get hurt mentally or physically. I think she should be expelled from that school. I think this type of thing could happen anywhere in any school all around the world. To prevent this happening to you. As soon as you hear someone say I’m going to get you after school you need to tell a principal or teacher. Unless the victim got seriously injured I don’t think you should take legal action because you have no proof other than the video which doesn’t reveal very much.

In this fight the victim's right to privacy has most definitely been breeched. The girl that was attacked only fought back in self-defense.
The attacker deserves harsh, harsh disciplining. For the girl that beat up the victim just punishment should be a week of suspension. Further discipline should be decided by the state.
I do believe that some students at WFMS have probably either been threatened or threatened another student. I have no knowledge of anyone at our school getting attacked as brutally as the girl in the video.
To protect yourself from this kind of threat you should be nice and respect everyone. In return when they decide to threaten somebody it won't be you.
I believe that the victim and her family should take legal action toward the attacker. They should either sue and or something else legal.

I do believe the victim’s privacy has been breached. The attackers didn’t have the victim’s consent to post her personal life on the Internet. The victim then was humiliated. Everyone who wanted to could watch her being attacked. If she didn’t want her being beat up broadcasted across the Internet, it shouldn’t have been. It was bad enough that the victim was attacked/filmed her at school. Being publicly humiliated and knowing that thousands of people have watched you being abused and being known as the girl who got beat up would be horrible.
I believe the attacker’s and the filmer’s punishment should be more that a week of suspension. They need to realize what impact they have had on their victim’s life. She is now embarrassed to face anyone from school. The victim doesn’t feel comfortable in her most normal, everyday environments.
I think this type of threat exists at WFMS, as well as any other school. Kids are always getting in fights everywhere. Today, almost every middle school age student has a camera cell phone, digital camera, and Internet access.
I could protect myself from this type of attack by not making myself venerable to the situation. I would try to keep to myself and not make anyone mad. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Don’t threaten anyone so they will have no reason to attack you.
I do think the victim and her family should take legal action, because the evidence is so overwhelming. I think it would set a president if there were real consequences. Being suspended for a week does not compare to the physical, mental and emotional harm that was done to the victim. Sometimes kids can think it is “cool” to be suspended and it is not a real deterrent from doing it again.

im sorry im kinda late<33
i looked at the other people's blogs and most of them said that they pity the victim.i don't.
she should've kept her mouth shut if she didn't want this to happen. her mindless behind should've know that word gets around fast.
if i was in this situation i would've beat her too!!
jumping means 2 or more persons(thats what punks do because they don't think they're going to win.)
i dont think that putting the video on YouTube was a good idea.
i think they both should be out of school for a week,because the attacker was threatened by the victim.
how i could protect myself from this kind of attack is to not say anything to anybody,epically if i couldn't fight worth my life,lol<3
This is awful. The victim really doesn't have any privacy anymore. I think that the attacker should have gotten at least two weeks of suspension. I also believe that the person who put this video on youtube should get in legal trouble, not just suspension from school. There always is a treat of something like this happening no matter where you are, but i really don't think that there is as much of a threat at WFMS. In order to protect myself from this, the second that the person threatened me I who go tell an adult that I trusted to keep my name anonymous.
I actually don't think that the victim's family should take legal action against the attacker. They should take legal action against the person who put the video on youtube. That is what caused the victim to lose her privacy and the embarrassment.

After watching the fight between the two middle school students and reading the text, yes, I feel the victim's privacy has been breached. I believe the attacker should have received two weeks suspension from school because she beat her up. I, also, believe that the victim should have received one week suspension fro m school because she threatened her. The person that videoed it should have got some type of detention or in school suspension. Yes, I do believe that this type of threat exists at WFMS because of the rumors that always go around the school. In order to protect myself from this type of attack I would keep my mouth shut or I would have fought back to protect myself out of self defense. No, I don't believe that the victim and her family should take legal action should take action against the attacker because the victim was as guilty as the attacker with the threats that were made. Two wrongs do not make a right. However, they maybe should think about pressing charges against the person that videoed it or against youtube for posting it.

I think the victim's privacy has been breeched in this video. I think that the person recording the fight shouldn't have recorded it in the first place .I think that is was wrong to do so. I also think that it was SUPER wrong to put it on YouTube.
If I were the parent of the attacker, she would be in SO much trouble I can't even explain. And that would be just be for beating up the other girl, not counting the punishment at school. I also think that she should have been expelled for 2-3 weeks, maybe even a month. I think the victim should get her scheduled changed and get out of every class that she had with the attacker, if she hasn't all ready.
Yes, I do think that these type of threats exists at West Fairmont Middle School. I believe that they do because the has already been so many threats and fights all ready this year and we're only in the 11 week of school.
I can protect myself by not getting involved in gossip and rumors. And most definitely by not spreading them. I can also hang out with positive people.
Yes!!! FOR SURE!!! I defiantly think the family should take legal actions against the attacker. I think this because the attacker didn't just put the victim in danger but also herself. They both could have been hurt even more. The victim was lucky she didn't get too hurt. The victim could have also fought back more and hurt the attacker. The person recording could have also got involved but didn’t.

yes, the victim's privacy was breeched by this video being posted, but living in this high-tech age means that everything you do has the possibility to be posted somewhere, or shown to someone. Nothing is private anymore. I don't know what I'd have the attacker's punishment be. yes, threats like this exist everywhere. By learning self defense you could protect yourself. legal action depends on the family. For some people it's good, for other's it's not.
I do believe the victim's privacy has been breeched because the attacker had no other reason to attack the other girl. Also, why would the girl have told her friends to lock her in the locker room? I don't have an explanation for why but, I do believe her privacy has been breeched.
The punishment for the attacker should be exspelled and the videotaper three weeks suspension.Finally for the victim nothing. The reason why is because she never did anything to the attacker so nothing should happen to her.
♥♥cheyann hammonds♥♥
The girl who got jumped really hate her friend now she should have them take the video off the internet and it's wrong that people are fighting in school.Even though we fight at are school but no one puts it on tape that would be wrong and I don't think the girl that did it should go to jail it wasn't like she used a knife or killed the girl it's just a fight we don't get arrested when we fight at are school.The girl should ether get exspelled or transfer to another school.
The girl who got who got jumped had to be in pain because she got her hair pulled,punched in the face,in a choke hold,and then they posted it on youtube so everyone could see how bad she got beat-up.I feel that it wouldn't happen at WFMS but people will get in a fight but not like that one.
WOW! Yes I do NOT think that they should have posted the video on the internet at all. That should every on all around the world how they faught. That make the girls look so bad I girl that attacked should have never done that and the gilrl taht got attack shpuld havae told someone because she knew all along! I thaink that the punishment for the attack should be EXPELLED from school. In some ways yes but also no because I do not fell that peopple are like taht but it could happen anywhere in thhe whole world. I do not think that there is any way you can help yourself ranther then if you kbnow its going to happen tell a teacher and or a princible. Yes they should take leagal action against the attacker and her family! brogan raddish 8th p
I honestly believe that the victim’s privacy has been breeched and the attacker should have to do something for hurting her emotionally as well as physically. The punishment should be something really eye opening for what she did to that poor younger girl. I feel this type of threat exists but the students at WFMS wouldn’t do such a nasty thing just to prove someone is stronger (to prove a point). If it were me I would take any action I could because people are going to see that for years.
There is no way that that video should have been posted on the internet. Whoever did it must not have been thinking straight. That was a complete break of personal privacy. I think that all of the girls should be expelled. I would tell someone right away if I recieved a warning. And yes, I do think that the girls family should sue. They could get alot of money if they would.

I defiantly believe that the victim's privacy has been breeched in this horrible video. No one should be allowed to put anything on the internet unless you have that person's permission. I agree with the mother of the victim, that the attacker should be expelled from school. It was very wrong of her to attack her, and it made it even worse by record it and put it online. I think this type of threat exists at WFMS, but only to a certain extent. I try to protect myself from this by trying to be nice to everyone, even thought it can be very hard at times, and I often do fail. I think either way would be fine, to take legal action or not to.

this is so sad and yep the victim's privacy has been breeched in this video. i think the attacker should be put in boot camp or something like that. this type of theat could happen at any school at any time. i could protect myself from this type of attack by not going with people that i don't hang out with at school cause they may say there your friend but then they could do something like that. well i think they should but thats just me. i just hope it never ever happends in my school and my old school.

In the video I kind of thought that the girls privicy was breeched in this video.I believe the attacker should be suspened foe 2 weeks at the least.I dont think that this kind of threat exists at WFMS because the teachers handle things well so things like that won't happen.I could protect myself from this kind of attack by telling the teacher before it gets to late.I do think that the victims family should take legal action againist the attackers family and I think that they should get in big trouble.

I believe in this video the victim’s privacy was breached. She should not have had to worry about being embarrassed, she was already embarrassed enough about getting hurt like that. I think the punishment should be suspension from school. The attacker did something horrible to this girl and I would be so hurt, anybody would, but not just physically, emotionally as well. I do not believe this type of threat exists here at WFMS. I think the victim's family should take legal action. I would! This was horrible to do to this girl.

Yes, no one should ever tape someone getting jumped. I think the attacker should get a month or two in boot camp. Yes everyone talks about doing stuff like this, but it but it hardly ever happens. Just stay out of these situations, and talk about anyone else. Yes, no dobt about it they need to teach the attacker a lesson, and the only way to do it would be to press charges.
Ithink the girl that was being jumip. because of the fight being put online the girl that puy it online just made it hard and the girl that jumiped got a video online and she had beat up in a bathroom over what she had said when it all comes down she had started be talking about the other girl.
Yes, I do believe that the girl’s privacy was breeched in the making of this video. I think the attacker of this video should be expelled from the school district. I do not think that these kinds of threats go on at WFMS. I could protect myself by not getting too much into the fight with the person. If the victim was harmed in this fight, then, yes, the parents should take legal action.

Yes i do belive the privacy has been breeched in this video. Getting expelled or suspended for school would be just punishment to me and i do thing the victims parents need to take legal
action aginst the attacker in this video. No, I do not belive this kind of threat exist at WFMS.

I think the girl who got beat up shouldn't of said that she was going to beat up the older girl. No i don't think that was right for the older girl to be beating up younger people.That one younger girl said she could beat up the older one, but in the video i think the older girl messed up the younger one.I think that the older girl shouldn't be sued for beating up that girl.The younger girl shouldn't be talking trash about other people unless the other person stated it.The person who video taped shoudn't be in trouble cause she just video taped the fight, then again she should be in trouble for putting the Noorwood fight on youtube.

I do think that the victim's privacy has been breeched because they have taped it and put it on the internet to were everybody in the world could see it. I think that the attacker should have got sent to a new school.To were it would not happen again.I do not think this kind of violence is at WFMS.But there's fights but not as bad as the Norwood Ohio fight. I would try to tell somebody if I new but if not I would not try to go to the bathroom alone. I think that they should take legal actions because it was not right for her to do that.
By:David Bartholow
The victim's privacy wasn't breeched at all. It was humiliating, and they should try to get the video off. The attacker and the other girls should get suspended from school for what they did. This type of threat may exists at WFMS, but most likely no, because I don't think their are people that I know capable of this.
To protect yourself all you can really do is fight back because you are most likely going to get some of the blame too. I really don't think the girl and her family should take legal action because worse fights happen everyday, and there isn't legal action in those fights so no.
This video was kind of disturbing, but it's a very realistic issue in middle schools today.
the girl in the video's privacy was violated. This shouldent have been posted on youtube. The parents of the attacked girl should have rights to sue this company ,& the attackers parents. The girl who beat up the other girl, got what she deserved. She had one week of suspension. The girl who recorded this had the same punishment, but she deserved more. this was an invasion of privacy.
I don't think they should take legal action aganist the attacker because the girl who got beta up ran her mouth and was sayign all this stuff about beating up the girl who beat her up.If she did not want to get hurt then she should have kept her mouth shut. Her parents should have taught their children to kept their mouths shut and not ralk about people , and say stuff when they know they can't "back it up".

The girl that got jumped shouldn't have gotten hurt like that well no one needs to be beat up like that.
The attacker should jovial detention facility, which I hope she did go to.
Well yes because my friend (not aloud to say whom) is suppose to get beat up by some people. I am tring to help her in her problem because I went through the same thing she is going though.
You could protect yourself by getting with some friens and sticking with them until the attacker gets tired of not being able to beat you up.
Yes they should because she got beat up pretty bad. The attacker could really get sued a lot of money to pay the metical bills if any.

I thought this video was horrible. I hate fights. I think that the victim’s privacy has been breeched. I do not think that the whole world should have known about a middle school girl fight. I think that it would be very embarrassing to have practically the whole entire world watch me fight. I think the girls in that video taped this fight should have legal action taken against them. Although, I do not think that the attacker should be prosecuted. The other girl threatened her first so she is just as guilty, in my opinion. Also, the fight wasn’t that bad that the attacker should go to jail. I think the girls in the fight should be expelled from school, but I think the girls who taped the fight should get charged because that girl’s privacy is gone forever. I don’t think there is much fighting at West Fairmont Middle School, occasionally but not much. I don’t think that you can protect yourself from fighting, but you can help prevent it.
♥Emily Jordan♥
Yes I do think that the victom's privacy has been breeched in this video. I believe this because by taping her then putting it into public eyes without her permission she has been very violated. she deserves the right to say weither or not she wants a video with her in it on the web or not. I think that the attacker in this video should be suspended for a week or two. I think that there is always a chance of a fight to start, but it's wiether or not you can hold in your anger. I would never be in a physical fight. I would not be in the situatuion to begin with, because I don't start fights. I think that if the attack and the whole video on youtube bothered them that much that they should definately take legal action agianst the attacker.

Personally, I believe that her privacy was invaded because they not only taped it but they revealed it to the public. Not just to the public but they put it on a national website with millions of people. I believe the attacker should not only be suspended but expelled and set to juvy. I believe that this threat exists at every school not just middle school but high schools and colleges. Not insulting people is a good way to not get threatened then cornered in a place. No , because it is her word against her word so there is nothing they could do.
yes i think that the students privacy was breeched. i think that it was very wrong for those girls to corner her and then record the fight and post it on youtube. it was very very very very very wrong.
sorry but i can't really think of what else to say except that it was very wrong and it should never have happened.
The vics privacy was really breeched because the vid was put were anyone could view it. I believe the punishment should be some thing along the lines of "life sentence". I don't believe this could happen at WFMS eeven though most of the students are idiots. I would protect my self by going to a less violant school than WFMS such as Rivesville, and rivesville is a fairly violant school. the family should take legal action.
