Student Viral Video: A new video recently circulated online showing a dramatic and brutal fight involving several female students inside a classroom. The video, which quickly went viral, shows frenetic moments of slapping, kicking and hair-pulling amid fellow students filming what is happening.
The video opens with an argument between the students. Two girls aggressively push each other, resulting in a no-holds-barred struggle, complete with hair pulling and strikes at one another.
The video, published by @gharkekalesh on X, has quickly spread through numerous social media networks. The video, recorded by students within the classroom, has provoked considerable reactions and debate between netizens. Many users left humorous, critical, and curious comments. A user said, “Look how boys are recording and enjoying their fight.” Another user said, “The boys should be careful in touching those girls, who know these two might unite and charge FIR against the boys for touching them. Scary!” A third user said, “Women are different to understand.”
This is not only single video that is circulated on social media, there are other colleges have reported similar incidents, fueling fears over student behaviour and campus safety. Once, they were seen fighting physically, pulling one another’s hair and hitting each other — over a personal issue, as the school report suggested — in a similar incident involving two Class 10 girls.
The repeated occurrence of all this violence clearly articulated the need for educational institutions to tackle the root causes behind such behaviour. Secondly, tensions and rivalries in student culture can contribute to violent behaviour; this may include a lack of conflict resolution skills, peer competition, bullying, and the pervasive nature of social media.
Schools and Colleges initiative
To combat these issues, schools and colleges should adopt thorough solutions to ensure a safe, welcoming educational atmosphere. This includes implementing programs that promote social-emotional learning, conflict resolution, and responsible use of digital platforms. These can include initiating proactive means of communication between students, staff and faculty as well as students and guidance counselors or staff, to reach out to identify issues and grievances before they potentially lead to a physical confrontation.
Educational institutions must make it clear that situations can be safely and genuinely de-escalated and give students the proper guidelines on how to do that in a way that workforce students can feel safe from harm and that students feel secure in their learning environment.
