it doesn't happen at my school [we are too mature for it! :p]
but my brother says it happens at his school and all phones have been banned, and it happened at a high school round the corner from where i live. A 13 year old girl was put into intensive care after 2 girls who claimed were happy slapping this girl, had pushed her too the ground, and had kicked her stomach, ribs and head repeatedly. I felt seriously sick that this had happened just around the corner. I admit we have a bit of harmless fun in our class, where we walk up to a mate, tap them on the shoulder, they turn around, and we give them a slight slap around the cheek but it never hurts anyone, and they are allowed to slap or nudge you back. No-one gets hurt and not once has it been taken to the level of serious beating. Most my mates won't catch a bus anymore, but if anyone attempted at happy slapping me i would seriously hurt them back. :@
It seems to have died down A LOT recently, which i am thankful for.

PS If anyone is thinking about happy slapping someone remember the person you slap can be damaged by your slap not just physically but mentally too! No-one should have to suffer for your childish amusement. Happy slapping is not happy for everyone, dont do it!!
