This is a huge phenomenon at our school, too. Whenever there is a huge fight at our school, the kids whip out their cellphones and start filming. By the end of the day, the stuff is posted on YouTube. It's crazy, because all these are connected, all day long, and this way, beef spreads like wild-fire from school to school. For example, X and Y fight at school A. The fight is posted and texted about and all of a sudden Y's cousin Z is fighting X's boyfriend W at school B. A lot of our fights also start on MySpace and facebook. They comment on each other's profiles, and all of a sudden, they have beef.
