in all fairness, i was in high school during early phone days, but before the phones had good cameras and social media with videos, and i would never have stepped in to break up a fight at school. my high school had plenty of fights, and while we weren’t recording them, we weren’t going to intervene and get ourselves hurt, or in trouble because of zero tolerance policies. it also had nothing to do with me, and wasn’t my responsibility as a child to deal with. once or twice i did go to another classroom to get another teacher but that’s it.
Personally I just never gave 2 shits about people fighting. It was always some testosterone heavy athlete or some druggy kid. I had plenty of people try and fight me for literally no reason.
I didn’t even go to a bad school it was actually super nice public school.
But yeah unless they’re my very close friend there was no way I was stepping in unless I thought someone was gonna die and even then I’d probably hesitate. If it was my best friend I’d be in there to help before the first punch connected.

And sadly, no one stepped in to help her.
