School is a place where children come to learn, to grow, develop, and find meaning in their lives. It helps children understand themselves and chalk a path that they wish to walk. In recent times, this haven of learning has turned into somewhat of a cathedral of violence and many wonder what’s being done to curb this culture.

The popularity and great following of combat sports like Boxing and UFC amongst young children have boiled over into violent behavior in schools. The majority of children now resort to violence as a means of solving differences and that has led to some fatal injuries.

A viral video circulating on social media showed one such school scuffle between two boys. One was a boxing athlete in the making, while the other stood to fight for his respect.

The video has already generated almost 500,000 views. Two boys started their boxing bout right in the middle of school as several other children watched and cheered. The boy in the white t-shirt unleashed a fury of punches and attacked the other boy. He defended and tried to land some blows of his own as the rest just watched.

The absence of any guard or faculty meant that the violence escalated to new heights. The boy in white showed his boxing skill, and power, and punched the other boy with all his might. It went on for over a minute but ended after the other boy decided to quit it, as he had multiple injuries and a bleeding nose.

Instances of school fights and violent ones at that, are becoming far too common. The boy did deliver some heavy blows and left the other with injuries. Certainly not something a day in school should involve.
