A teenager girl, who was beaten until she lost consciousness by four girls in her school's bathroom, posted her version of the video that takes a stand against bullying.

Philadelphia teen, Mia DeJesus, 16, was the victim of a horrific beating that was caught on video.

While the attackers were taunting her with the clip, she turned it into a much more serious matter by taking a stand against bullying.

The video begins with the attack that was originally posted by one of the bullies to social media, as they continued to bully her online.

One girl is seen holding Mia by her hair as she punches her in the back of her head.

The same girl then slides her to the middle of the bathroom floor where the other girls join in on the beating.

They continue to hold her down while punching and kicking her. As the four girls kicked, hit and taunted her, Mia said she lost consciousness.

Mia's voice is heard over the video saying that the incident happened on January 27.

'I was locked in my school bathroom by four girls and beaten until I lost consciousness.

'No one came to help me or tried to get help. I never had the chance to defend myself because as you can clearly see in the video I was unconscious and unable to fight.'

Mia, who is a student at Northeast High School, said that she was assaulted by four girls bigger than her 'just because they didn't like me'.

A graphic that says 'bullying starts here' is displayed in the video as Mia continues to describe what happened minutes before the attack.

Mia vowed to post the video everyday 'until something is done for all the people who continue to experience this type of humiliation'

'My school has a clear video of all four girls following me into the bathroom before the attack.'

Another image is then displayed as she says she 'refuses to be held hostage by this video and my fear'.

I refuse to be held hostage by this video and my fear. I will not be a victim. I will post this video everyday until something is done for all the people who continue to experience this type of humiliation.

She then vowed to post the haunting clip everyday 'until something is done for all the people who continue to experience this type of humiliation'.

The video has since been viewed more than a million times on Facebook.

Her family members and friends have been sharing the clip with the hashtag #TeamMia.

One of the bullies recorded in the clip criticized Mia's video for not showing the entire scenario, according to the Daily News.

She claimed that Mia was the bully, not her.

The four attackers have been expelled since the video went viral.

Philadelphia School district spokeswoman, Raven Hill, told ABC 7 that the school does not characterize the incident as bullying, 'but rather a neighborhood dispute that spilled over in the school building.'

Mia's mom, Melinda, disagrees with the school district and said that 'four on one is bullying'.

Mia said she hopes showcasing her horrifying experience can help other bullying victims.

'All the people that have been texting me on Facebook and telling me their story, I feel like I did help a lot of people in the short amount of time that my video has been up.'

Mia is also being transferred to a different school.
