With all of the problems and serious issues kids these days have to deal with, one of the biggest and most important is often overlooked: bullying.

While some of us may remember bullying as harmless teasing, not everyone sees it that way. You may be surprised to learn that, according to the bullying awareness organization Do Something, 160,000 kids stay home from school every day to avoid being bullied.

If that's not worrying enough, 1 in 10 high school dropouts say they left school because they were being bullied. Those numbers represent the millions of school kids in America who are bullied every day, 30% of all students according to the organization No Bully.

Now, a video meant to raise awareness about bullying and remind us all has been released, and it comes from a very unlikely source: Burger King. The fast food giant wanted to remind us all that bullying hurts, and they put real people to the test to teach us a lesson...

The video asks a simple question: will people stand up for a bullied kid as much as a "bullied" burger?

In a hidden camera situation, they had a group of actors tease and bully a defenseless kid, while Burger King employees smashed and abused the burgers they served. The video is going viral after turning up some shocking and worrying results.

Burger King says that out of all the people who received smashed burgers, 95% complained to the cashier. Meanwhile just 12% of customers bothered to stand up for the bullied student. Surprised? Don't be. Even Do Something found that just 4% of teachers step in when their students are being bullied.

The experiment had a pretty upsetting result, but also a silver lining: it reminded us all we can do more to help the victims of bullying.

"I've been that kid," one of the customers said. "So if I see it, I'm going to do something about it. And I hope there's more people out there like that."
