The situation

A fight is about to break out at school. Two kids are squaring up, and a crowd is forming fast, phones coming out, people chanting "fight, fight." The energy is electric and a bit frightening. You can feel yourself being pulled toward it — everyone's running over, and standing still feels almost impossible. You don't want to watch two people hurt each other. You definitely don't want to film it. But the crowd is doing one thing, and doing the opposite — walking away, or telling a teacher — would make you the strange one moving against the tide.
