Bullying and Popularity

I recently spoke at a Boys and Girls Club in Upstate NY about the "popularity" of bullying. What surprised me was how convinced the young people were that watching a fight was cool.

What do you think?

Two quick questions:

1) Why do so many people upload real fights to YouTube?

2) Why do so many people watch them?

I get that bullying will never go away, but honest to goodness mean people make up less than 3% of society. Yet, thousands of not-so-mean people support the minority as accomplices by downloading, spreading and watching kids beat the snot out of each other. Being mean shouldn't be so popular.
