"Say No to Brawling = Better Culture & Better Future"

Hey Folks!

I'm Destri, the owner of the blog

I live in Indonesia,but I currently live in Wisconsin,USA for my exchange student year. I have a project from GNML (Global New Media Lab)

to make a social campaign through social media. I decided to choose a topic that is pretty serious among high-schoolers in my  hometown (Jakarta,Indonesia).

The problem is "brawling between high schools." Brawling is fighting, (it's just the old-fashioned way to say it :D). There are several schools that actively take part in brawling between schools. Most of the time, the reason for brawling is nonsense.They fight in the name of pride and solidarity. Once a student has a problem with an opposing school, then his friends have to defend him.They just want to show who is stronger between the battle. Some of them are great students with excellent grades at school. Too bad, if they fail because of this thing. I would like to tell them and help them to understand, this misconception of "solidarity" is stupidity that will bring regret later. Police can't do much about it, it usually happens quickly. Police usually come at the end of the incident. School also can't do much because they usually fight after school and far away from the school environment. 

It ain't cool, bro !

So, I want to remind all of you that read this blog, especially High School students. Don't let this grow as our future culture. We want our future leaders to be emotionally and mentally professional . If you want to show off your strength or pride or whatever, prove it in a right way. You better join a boxing club and join the competition rather than punch people on the face for nonsense reason. You will ruin your future, you will ruin other's future. Brawling is absolutely a wrong way to express friendship,solidarity,tradition,seniority or whatever. THAT IS NOT RIGHT!!!

Readers please spread this word through social media. Let's make more self-awareness toward this issue. We're all now connected each other through social media.

 I know social media can make it happen. So, I hope parents,police and school will be more aware and take more part toward this issue.

Funeral of the victim. He actually wasn't involved in the conflict. He was walking alone and suddenly attacked by other student.

Spread this word Readers! " NO BRAWLING = BETTER FUTURE & BETTER CULTURE!"
