In the latest troubling incident of student violence, two schoolgirls on the Greek island of Kos engaged in a physical altercation outside their school on Monday afternoon. The confrontation, which included punching and kicking, was captured on video and later shared on social media, alarming educators and parents alike.

According to reports, the clash occurred as the students were waiting for the bus to head home. Initial spectators, mostly fellow students, observed the escalating tension with amusement, even recording the incident on their phones. However, as the dispute intensified, some onlookers attempted to intervene, calling for the fight to stop and eventually separating the two.

Despite the visibility of the event, the exact cause of the conflict remains unclear. This altercation is part of a worrying series of such incidents recently recorded on the island, highlighting a broader issue of school bullying and violence in the region.

Parents have expressed their concerns over this trend and have reportedly engaged local authorities, seeking protective measures for their children. The local community and educational authorities are being urged to implement strategies to prevent such occurrences and ensure the safety of students.
