‘New extremes’: Viral videos reveal ‘deviant’ schoolyard fight clubs

The influence of social media has led to a significant rise in the amount of schoolyard fight club videos, according to Psychiatrist Dr Tanveer Ahmed.

“Some of the real fights – that’s probably always happened,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

“But there is a set of behaviours that have changed due to social media.

“Sometimes they’re doing it as pranks … some of that is being heightened by social media.

“There is an element of deviant behaviour that is going to new extremes because they are trying to get a viral video out of it.”
