The synopsis needs to be more specific if it wants to make people interested in it.

It's perfect.

All the better to watch some bully situation happen in the school, my dear.

Okay, that made me laugh. Well played.

Some bully

This herein lies the antagonist. A character our protagonist must triumph over and change tor reflect a more peacful and harmonious life force

situation

an event that has massive consequences, usually of incredibly interesting proprtions

happen

happen: syn. occur - used in the infinitive to imply and event that is currently an issue (highlighting the authors ideas about how bullying is a social dilemma)

in the school

the setting, a terribly important aspect of a story. This is where the event will take place, and seeing as many bullies pray on children in schools, it makes much sense that this would be the setting

Will watch with certainty. Especially if those dreadfully scary Asian girls pop up like they do in the Chocolat video.

It seems like they make bullying funny. I might feel bad for the bullee and not laugh at all D; Unless they implement karma to the bully-er.
