Honestly, apkano, the vid didn't appear disparaging at all, but in any event something should be done before the problem escalates.

Bullying is taken very serious nowadays, so if my daughter was getting a hard time at school, I'd head straight to the school's admin office and raise hell. The administrators would be inclined to take prompt action with the POS that shot the vid and any others involved.

Seems that the authorities are more and more aware of the aspects of bullying and have become a lot more proactive in response and prevention.

So have your friend speak up to someone in charge at the school. Pronto.
