Sending you all my love and remember, this too shall pass.
I've never been bullied, but when I came home from school and told my parents about the interactions I had, they kept asking me things like isn't that bullying? And don't let them bully you! But the thing is, I never thought I was being bullied, and I still don't.
Sorry you went through this, I did also and did the same. Ignoring them makes the fire less high/strong, acting like it doesn't faze you they will get bored and eventually find someone else to harass. Schools really should be taking this topic more seriously also.
They can usually hear better than sighted people as their other senses make up for blindness. There's always the chance the someone tells them, though.
I haven't being bullied much but me and my twin brother were on the swings. Were both a lot Irish, so were gingers. The kid who was next to us started insulting us because of the color of our HAIR. My brother who clearly had being waiting for something like this to happen. He then said "Every freckle on a gingers face is a soul we have consumed." The kid then went silent. Best day ever. Love you brother. Edit: I only got 5 hours of sleep and I'm dieing
I'm sorry you got bullied, so please take this as a friendly advice: you seriously need to brush up on your grammar and spelling. English is not my first language, but no amount of sleep deprivation could ever make me mix up "being" with "been", forget apostrophes or misspell dying.
PlugInKali it doesn’t matter, as long as people can understand it. You also never know who you’ll be correcting. They might be using audio to text, which isn’t terribly accurate at the best of times, they might be dyslexic, they might not have great English yet. So don’t correct people. Just don’t do it. If there’s something you don’t understand, ask a clarifying question, but don’t correct people. It’s rude. And that’s my advice to you.
I literally cannot even fathom doing something like that to anyone, let alone a blind person. Crazy that there are people out there whose brains are wired in such a messed up way.
Yeah it just doesnt make sense :s once a girl tried to pierce a pen in my eye because we were "playing" (like we were in a drama/novela) at the moment i was like wa the hell is in her brain!
Yeah, my favorite thing was when I was bullied was if I let someone with authority know they wouldn't believe me. They would sit us all down separately, so imagine at least half of my class getting called out one-by-one then I get called out again after they spoke to the other kids. The principal, or teacher, or whoever it was, would sit me down and ask me what happened. I'd tell them the truth like "The boys locked me in the container we put the basketballs in." Which they did, it was a plastic container about the size of a coffin but taller. They shoved me in, put the padlock back on and locked it. The adult would then proceed to tell me that I made it up in my head and they didn't do that and I would get detention for lying about something so serious. Since I always had more than one person bully me they would have a story they would tell the principal so it seemed like I was lying since the bully's stories all matched up. It was wonderful.
I remember at school. the teachers are just so bad at tackling bullying, it's crazy. So we made a group of bullied people, we proyectes each other and tried to help. I remember i had a friend, his stepfather hit him, chocked him, hit her mother. The whole situation was crazy (he and her mother eventually moved out, trying to run from him). He had lots of problems and was really agressive, i really struggled with the rest of the group because i wanted him to stay in the group. I actually don't remember much of my own bullying, i remember i became a Stark defender of bullied people. from a very Young age i knew Who i was, i had a striking personality. i was also too over confident and clueless to realize people didn't like me (i have ADHD). I would get really angry when they bullied me, which made me AN easy target and i was tiny small so they overpowered me. I think that's why i formed the group, i just hated feeling so defenseless. One of the beatifull things of the group was that when teachers came we could all give a unified version of the story, the bullies were outnumbered. Thank you for reminding me this.
I’m legally blind. Once, there was a kid who thought it was fun to put his hand in front of my face and yell “wall” while I was walking because he said I ran into things a lot... I was a bad kid I guess. I got so fed up with him that one day, he did it and I punched him as hard as I could. I mean, I’m a little girl and he was a pretty big guy, but still. He never bothered me again. Lol! Most bullying I could ignore. I think the hardest part about school for me was the social isolation. I found it very difficult to make friends and school was quite lonely. People didn’t want to talk to the weird blind kid. Still, things do get better. I promise! I’m almost done my undergrad in university now and couldn’t be happier! Like molly says, it’s all about being comfortable with who you are. ;)
Wow! I'm not blind but I still get bullied just with different things and I'm so sorry no one should ever bullie anybody especially a blind person and you seem like a nice person and im sorry that happened to you
Poodle Eyes I know how that feels because I’m from Ireland and are used to be a kid in my school are used to bully me and one day I didn’t take it any more and I punched him in the face not hard enough to hurt him but just a general hard punch in the face that he did and she coming and this is when I still had usable vision and my mum had to be called into school and on the phone she basically said fucking good on him because this guy made fun of me a lot of the time but he was detained he became a friend after - so the bully can become your friend if you show them that respect is needed
When my son was in kindergarten I knew he was being bullied. He came home with bruises and scratches. I had had conversations with teachers, the principal and other parents. I thought things were under control. One day when I was volunteering in his class I decided to step outside during the kids morning break. It was then I found a group of older boys standing in a circle around my son who was in a headlock by another boy who was punching my son in the stomach. That was more painful than childbirth. I was not as poised as your mother. I went fully mama bear. I ran across the field and SCREAMED at those boys. Like you my 5 year old son seemed unfazed. He looked at me like mom this is typical Tuesday. He is ten now but that image still haunts me.
Oh man, those little boogers would of seen a monster face on me! My child (4) he is the opposite in school, he honestly doesn't care about others. He has zero interest in playing with others. He might play with one or two, but not every day. He originally can have an attitude, I just hope he can use it if he ever gets bully. I speak to my kids about bully. I want them to get some kind of defense classes too.
Erica Williams I can tell you now if I had kids and I happened to them I would run over and I would beat the living crap out of his cage and I wouldn’t care if they couldn’t condone that I would be telling them if that happens again you’ll be hearing from me
I had a similar thing happen to me and my son. I just couldn't believe the lack of decency at school. I want to share how we moved forward. My son has aspergers. I volunteered in the school a lot too. This is what helped, when he found his people. The middle school band was a great place for him. And really emphasize your sons strengths to him and anyone who is in charge of him and get him help with his weaknesses. My son is 22 and is still saddened by the way he was treated, but as time passes, it is less and less. He is about to graduate from U Of M and will soon publish his first book. Sending you strength and hugs.
dm Porter-Gage can you let me know when this book comes out because even though you might know me I go to difficulties with autism as well even though it’s not dominant and I actually have Asperger’s syndrome or as it also known scared of moon syndrome and I like how your son has overcome his struggles in life and I want the autism ability to be respected people
See, this is why the school system is so weird. I got in trouble for pushing a boy that pushed me once. And then they just let little fuckers get away with that? I would have been just like you, I would have torn them a new one. And if the school didn't deal with it, I would be reporting them to the highest of authorities that I could find.
I feel for you, Molly. Being bullied is incredibly hard on a child. I remember being bullied as well by this one kid in 6th grade. One day he was kicking me in the back of my knee during recess. My grandpa, who dropped me off after lunch, had not left yet. I didn’t see him at first but suddenly he stormed onto the playground, grabbed the kid by the ear, and in his calm but stern military captain’s voice said ‘listen to me, you little shit. If you ever touch my granddaughter again, I will rip your ear off. Understood?’ The kid nodded, started to cry and ran away from us. Then, my grandpa looked at me, bent down and said ‘if he tries that again, kick him in the balls.’ Love my grandpa ❤️
Sound like what I told my kiddo about one of her cousins that liked to hit others when he hit her. I told her to hit him harder and dont stop till he cries too.
Sounds something my Dad would have done. My Dad is military and he would tell me, you have your bubble of space around you and if you feel threatened because somebody is in your space or hurting you, you have my permission to defend yourself, and the one time I had to do that in school, my DAD supported me 100% to the principal. Said, you may want to tell the other kid to keep his hands off my daughter, because she has my permission to defend herself however that needs to happen.
Fancy & Pink I myself have low vision and have always been too afraid to be as brave as Molly and tell some of my bullying stories I was bullied by teachers and students when I was in school just because I was different and a little weird
me, because bullying is definitely the worst thing ever in life and you should never ever bully someone just because of the way they look, the way they experience things in their own life, Etc. 😔😭
i was bullied not long ago, it was last February 2019, i was born with cataracts they were discovered at the age of 4, i lived with terrible vision for years, i was always wearing some kid of new idea to strengthen my vision, from eye patches, to strong glasses. finally at the age of 13, i was in for my yearly eye exam, and i was having a really hard time seeing the letters on the chart, my doctor dilated my pupils and told my mom, "we have a problem, her eyes are worse, if i cant see in, she cant see out" so we decided i needed surgery, i took a while to find a doctor but finally i had my surgery, this was the worst weeks of my life! i was in constant pain, i couldn't see, i had constant migraines, but then i went back to school. my eyes were always blood red and you could see the stitches, i was bullied because people wouldn't look me in the eyes, they would point and laugh, they would ask rude questions like "are you high?" or "whats wrong with you?" nobody ever stood up for me. finally the redness went away and people still make fun of me for having to wear reading glasses, it effected me very badly a while ago which led to self harm and depression, luckily i'm much better and i'm confident and don't care anymore.
I had an eye patch as a kid, and I'm disappointed that my mom never dressed me up as a pirate for Halloween. 😂 --Those people who made fun of you at all are jerks, but especially for the glasses... I'll never understand bullying because of someone's self improvement. A fat person exercising is trying to improve, glasses / a hearing aid improve eye strain/deafness. Some people don't make sense.
My brother needed glasses, because he shot himself with a toy gun in the eye. Now his eyes were watering, he couldn't see. that much, He needed a eye patch to because if he didn't wear it he might go blind. My friends at school say why is your brother's eye watering? Is he okay? My friends never bully him, they were nice.
I'm deaf so I was severely bullied, harassed, and sexually harassed by students and teachers throughout my whole school life. I spoke but with a deaf accent and mispronounced words, so I was horribly bullied because I talked funny to the point where I barely said a word for years. I was always treated like I was stupid and couldn't do anything by myself without assistance, or couldn't do it at all. This broke my self-esteem and I had no confidence in my self. I was forced into special education and they literally hired a woman to follow me around all day everyday to monitor and "take care" of me. She spoke to me like I was a two year old (I was in middle school at this time), wrote everything down for me, made it very well known to EVERYBODY that I had a disability which brought on more bullying. I was denied bathroom breaks because they thought I was either lying about having to go to the bathroom, or I needed assistance and they didn't want to do it. The woman even followed me out to the carport after school and would stand there and point to every single car, "Is that your car? *points* Is that your car?" When I saw my mom, she wouldn't even let me go to her because she had to confirm that was my car and that was my mom. The special education teachers stole my stuff and lied to my parents about multiple things so I was constantly in trouble. In high school, the bullying and harassment got worse to the point I started getting sexually harassed. I mentioned it to a few teachers and no one did anything. College, a few organizations in the school trying to take advantage of me. Students who knew I was deaf and needed to sit in the front row would proceed to take all the seats up front anyways and force me to sit in the back where I missed out so much. Or just flat out ignored me. Had some stupid professors who wouldn't accommodate me or were just stupid and rude. These are just basics and barely scratching the surface of the hell I went through growing up. I eventually found myself and gained my self-esteem and confidence somewhere along the road after high school, so any comments or bullying don't affect me anymore unless they're getting in my way, like my education for instance. I fight back now and I can be mean.
That sounds terrible- I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that crap. I hope you have people around you who love and support you unconditionally who will do anything to keep you safe and feel good about yourself
I definitely faced that too! I was bullied by two teachers at different schools... very sad when ADULTS who are supposed to be there to care for and educate students behave like children themselves and inflict harm on their students.
Same it got to the point that I had to be removed from the class; this teacher had humiliated me in front of the class multiple times and had consistently put me down, once I was out of the class they put me down to bottom set. The bright side of the story is that I proved them all wrong and got a B in English even though I was told I wouldn’t get anything near a pass
MOLLY: "Gallop, could you please stop licking yourself?" GALLOP: "Hey, I gotta keep myself entertained while in quarantine, too." A moment of levity ... Thank you for the video, Molly! Hope y'all continue to stay as safe and healthy as possible. Take care! 👍🤟💜
My teenage years were absolutely horrible. My mom had me addicted to her pills around 11 years old and selling them at 13. She let me get a tattoo at 12, was buying me cigarettes and alcohol already too. I didn’t really have friends. Was always in abusive relationships, taken advantage of. Molested by many, raped by someone twice my age. Dealt with many many predators, it’s disgusting how many men want to be with a teenager. Homeless, had a miscarriage.. I could go on and on. I met my husband at 17, we were homeless together for a little while too. We soon got an apartment then we had two kids by 19 years old. We are 28 now and just bought a first home in January! So my life has turned around but I’m still dealing with what happened in my childhood and coming to terms with it. It’s so important for parents to be involved and be there for their kids! I had absolutely no guidance from either of mine. If I did I think my life would’ve been much different. My mother didn’t even tell me what a period was! I started it at 9 and hid it for years because I was mortified about telling anyone.
You should be incredibly proud of what you have done with your life. To come from such hardship and end up married with children is a wonderful story. I hope you and your children have a remarkable life. You deserve it!!
And now you're Super Mom! It's horrible the things children are expose to because of lack of quality parenting. My own traumas still hunt my mind from time to time, I had a breakdown while pregnant with my second child. I just tell myself: You need to do better, you need to protect your kids. I have deep dark secrets that I try to, you know, just to put aside. Some people try to solve it by deciding to become drug addicts, others like you, like me, like so many we deal with it in a way where your life has more positive than negative. Where they break the pattern and stop the abuse for a healthy family. I send you a big hug and I wish you and anybody who had gone through evil The Best of Luck. Best wishes. 💜🐛
"At some point in life, I definitely had a glow-up." I second that wholeheartedly! I think you look really pretty, really friendly and approachable, but your face still has this grown-up look to it that says "hey man, no need to mess with me. I got this." I hope that makes sense! And at any rate, take it as a genuine compliment. :)
😳 I can’t even digest this. I can’t even in my head picture a whole group of teenaged kids doing this. I’ve never witnessed bullying to this degree and it’s beyond shocking that this happened to a blind girl. I’m absolutely just shocked. I’d love to know what kind of parents raise pieces of shit like this. If anyone bullied my child like this I couldn’t help myself, I’d be cussing them out every which way till Sunday and whipping out my phone camera so fast to record this nonsense and send it to every local news station around. Congratulations to Neve(sp?) for being so gracious, it’s better than I could have done.
That's insane that those things happened to you Molly. The highschool that I went to had disabled kids and blind kids, but never ever did someone bully them the way you got bullied! There was a very well known blind girl in my school, and everyone treated her normally like a person. If bullying ever happened to her, I sure as hell never saw it otherwise I would've done something. It's all ironic, because I grew up in the "ghetto" part of my city, the poor part, where there was gangs and violence. But for some reason my there seemed to never be extreme bullying happening at my school.
I've noticed that too, when you're in rich areas/schools and suddenly there's way more bullies. I think poor people know there's worse things in life so they don't want to make problems for other people because what's the point? Rich people, however, I guess they're bored and think it's fun to make people suffer.
Why do people bully other people anyway? It’s just wrong and all it does is make amazing and beautiful people feel bad about themselves! And that is not okay!
I think people mimic behaviour they are surrounded with so if hate is their normal routine they will mimic that behaviour and hurt people :( it’s sad and annoying but that’s what happens. I’ve been bullied lots but I try to understand why they do it. Gotta say I’m really bad at understanding them but I do try 😝♥️
I was severely bullied when I was a kid and then became a bully later on. In my teenage years, I saw it as a form of revenge, like I was finally able to be "on top" of others. Today, it's something that I am terribly ashamed of because I know how bad I made people feel, despite having been through the same myself. This is my experience, so I don't want to talk on behalf of anyone, but I think we don't give enough attention to children's mental health. Kids don't know how to properly deal with their problems and traumas, and I think it would have been a hundred times better for me if I could have talked about it to someone, which I've never done.
In my school bulling stopped at grade 7/8. There were like 2 individuals who were so gossipy that it could be seen as bullying but still it was only talking behing your back. I can kinda understand bullying as children because they dont even know what they are doing and they just want to belong to a group. But over the age of 14... like they are old enough to fucking behave like mature teens. They understand what bullying can do. Geez. I wished this would just stop
I got bullied a lot throughout my entire school career, because I am very emotional and I have a mental disorder where I have very unstable emotions and I would end up crying very frequently. So many people would make fun of me and there was even teachers who wrote me up and tried to get me suspended just because I was sitting in the hallway crying to myself. Even teachers can be just as rude as the students and it still hurts everyday as I deal with my various mental illness that resulted from this. I have a very hard time making friends because I feel that they will just get frustrated with me and leave. I have been alone all of my life and no one has ever tried to help me. I feel that I just don't have anyone that would care if I was gone.
Ya teachers can be bullys i don't have any bad mental stuff but i have severe anxiety and not severe but i also have depression and because of this there has been 2 teachers in my life or three really who wear mean to me one was in 6th grade and at this time i still thought all teachers had our best interest at heart and kind of looked up to deter so at the time I didn't even notice that she was being a bully to me just because she could just because I wouldn't stand up for myself and then I have two teachers this year that have been bullys to me and it is weird and hurtful to me because iv always been a good kid and not done anything wrong and been a teacher's pet most of the time so when a teacher is a bully i dont knoe what to do and one example my teacher this year or i guess last year as of now wud call me out in front of the class and say what i was doing or something i had was wrong even though there would be other kids doing the same thing or that had the same thing and she was soft to the popular girls too and when she called me out everyone in class would look at me witch would spike my anxiety make me panic and a lot of the time she talked to me like i was stupid witch would make me have to bite my lip so i would not cry in front of 36 people! Thanks for letting me rant
If I were your mom, I'd take pictures of them and the stuff they threw at you with my phone. Then I'd report them to the principal. Bullies need to be held accountable.
As someone who was bullied a lot in school I can understand the "I was over it" situation. This will sound dumb but I never had friends in school. I just accepted the fact that there was something wrong with me and that's why no one would want to be near me. Then in grade 12 I was talking to a girl in my class about a group project (it was a compulsory one otherwise I would have opted to do it alone). She just looked at me, as I was explaining and went, "You seem like such a good person, I don't know how I ever believe the stuff people say about you." So turns out people were actively making sure that I had a miserable time in school.
I never really had friends since we moved city in year 2 - at best I was a transient member of various groups, but never found 'my' place other than maybe briefly in yr 10. I wasn't bullied much, just more ignored. Though one time my 'friends' at the time thought it would be fun to run away at the sight of me... Yeah, still working through that in therapy.
@@anu01anu95 *hugs* I now have a few close friends and a lovely husband, but I do still find myself worrying what others think of me, and whether they carry a vendetta against me.. Its probably mostly me catastrophising, but it's hard to shake those 'vibes' you get from some people. I just want to be liked dammit!
I'm in a power wheelchair and when I was in elementary school my dad would come into my class and he would introduce me and answer questions from my peers. We also in elementary school had field day and we would set up a obstacle course for my classmates to try out what it felt like to be in a power chair and the boys did AWFUL!!!!!! And the girls ACED it!!!!!!!!!! And I think this helped them to understand that I'm normal just like them and not to be afraid of me/others who are different!!!
Thats amazing and I feel kinda bad for wishing I could have a go 😂, but that's so cool. Though it would be hard to do with blindness, like I guess you could give them verry dim sunglasses and a guide dog and be like "go to the store and get me a snickers"
I remember being bullied in 4th grade. My parents were aware of it and while it didn't phase me at the time, I do believe it played a part in my earlier 20's and the insecurities I had then. I can still remember being told my nose was fat, or how my eyes were too narrow or "too Asian". What's ironic is that the girls who made those comments ended up being in my girl scout troop a couple years later, and so that gave us a chance to become closer. I think what baffles me the most is how some people never learn to be more aware of their words/actions until they're either much older, or perhaps that chance doesn't come at all. It honestly costs nothing to be a decent human being, and I'm glad that Molly was able to endure those hard moments of bullying.
It's fascinating listening to this. I never had any friends because I'm gay so the so-called "outcasts" were drawn to me, and they made my life possible to continue. People in wheelchairs, people with eating disorders, people with "disfigurements." I can totally relate to the bullying part. We "abnormal" (and I say that in the best possible way) need to stick up for one another. In the end, we're all just human. Much love. xoxo
I hope mabey every thing is a bit better now💛 you (if you aren't already,) should find yourself a gsa. It's my favorite place ever and I'm not even sure my sexuality yet! I hope this helps. Lots of love💛💛
Kids can be so cruel. This coming form a 15 year old girl that has also been bullied for years. Even though I’m not blind they still try trip me and chuck grapes and wrappers at me I’m the lunch room. I ignore them, like you said it’s the best thing to do. Just wanted to say I love you and your channel, you inspire me to be better. Your amazing ♥️
I am so sorry, Pandaplayz Gaming. No one should have to go through this kind of disrespect. Focus on the goal. Get through it and get on with life. Try to find joy in the little things and focus on them in the meantime. This is coming from a 47 year old who went through similar 'stuff' in school. It gets soooooo much better. Peace my friend
I get like, blackouts, where I can’t see but im still full conscious. People are just as bad in my middle school as you high school bullies. So glad we have this quarantine to get away from people.
Hey idk if this helps, but I found that middle school was the worst for bullying and in high school everyone just minded their own business. I hope things get better for you and just remember it's only a few years. It will be over before you know it!! I promise!
I had that happen to me about ten years ago once. It was so scary. My bestfriend was embarassed to hold my hand to walk me too. I never found out why it happened. If anyone knows please comment.
So sad and I and my Daughter was bullied and she was actually happy when we went into quarantine and she didn't need to be in school with her "friends" who were mean to her every other day. It has been a relief for us also to see her happier at home where she is safe and her self esteem is growing with each passing day thankfully. Children these days can be so brutal. Society expects ppl to be perfect and it is just not realistic. We are all beautifully flawed and need to embrace this in ourselves and others. Our flaws make us beautiful. God bless you.
I was bullied in school because I was supertall, I was 13 and already 6’... but I used all my strenght to have good grades, I played handball and it made me feel good. I wanted to be as good as possible in everything I did so they wouldn’t have anything else to bully me for. I was superemotional and people would try to make me cry. But I had two amazing friends who stood up for me when I didn’t have strenght. They would be by my side at all times and helped me get through everything.
This story made me feel so emotional, I can’t believe that people have that much disrespect!!! I think that this is a good message for people who are going through similar situations xxx
Lily Grant well it makes me angry because I’m also blind and visually impaired and it also poses the question would I want anyone to do this to me and the answer is no I would not
I am absolutely shocked, I am a freshman in high school and although there’s mean kids at my school I could never see anyone ever do anything like that. It is amazing that you just shook it off. Good for you girl! I think this video will really change my perspective of when I’m going through hard times in life
As an adult that was badly bullied and now a mum to asd/ADHD kids who are bullied. This is an amazing video xxx. Your mum is very wise. Love from Australia
I’ve been bullied my whole life; by people I though of as friends, teachers and just peers around me and it still haunts me to this day. Some people say bullying builds character but in my case it had permanently effected me in a way that can’t be reversed. I believe that if I wasn’t bullied I may not be such an introvert; I almost always doubt anything I do nowadays but I know I need to fight the anxiety but all this belittling through my life had taken its tole. Even though I am not apart of the blind community, I find your videos (molly) so helpful and it’s helped me gain confidence almost all the time. Thank you so much! These 30min videos make the biggest difference and I’m sure there are many other people that feel the same
I probably have anxiety and/or depression and I'd say at least 70% of it is because I was bullied in the past so I see any approach as a possible attack. Even if the person ends up being nice I feel horrible after any interaction with a stranger.
Amber Fierstein although I do not have the same problems as Molly I do have low vision caused by a brain injury and I’ve had it since birth I was bullied so much to that I became an introvert and found it hard to trust people when it came to friendships, relationships even my family sometimes. It is horrible when people make you doubt yourself and what you’re capable of ordure due yourself or judge you for being who you are and bully you because you’re different
Somewhere along the line people turned against virtue and thought they were hurting their kids by teaching them to be good because they would then be "vulnerable" to the world. They wanted their kids to be tough and they started fighting back when teachers disciplined bad behavior and the parents threatened lawsuits. Teachers and schools buckled. They decided to go with the mantra that kids need to learn to handle situations by themselves and let the bullies run free. What is worse, they said the kid had to handle things on their own when even the TEACHER or an authority figure was the bully. Kids were afraid to let their parents know what was going on because the kid was retaliated against if they sought help in this imbalance of power. This is still going on today. Today is Easter Sunday. Christ lives. He taught us how to live and we need to get back to raising "good" kids and human beings and pushing back against bad moral behavior.
I remember being bullied in elementary school. When I knew my family would be moving in the middle of the next school year I begged my mom to homeschool me for a year. I ended up being fortunate enough to continue through high school.
I was bullied at high school and it was miserable, I dreaded going to school everyday and I didn’t tell my family what was going on. But like molly said, you can get through it, it will end and you can go on to do amazing, incredible things. I was the first person in my family to go to uni. I have so much more confidence now, when I was in high school I was made to feel worthless but no one is worthless. Everyone has the potential to be and do great things. Everyone. Even if it’s small things. Be true to who you are and don’t let bullies make you feel like you don’t deserve to be happy. Easier said than done, I know but one day it’ll all be a distant memory x
My mom has RP, and any of my children have a chance of getting it. I would literally fight a kid...or their mom at least. Your awesome and I love your positivity! My mom loves you videos and how independent you are. I think it inspires her because she was born in a different time and always kind of taught she could do anything. I love your videos!
Mary never fight the kid😂it literally makes it worse for your kid showing the bully they need their mommy to stand up for them. They bully the kid more after that
This is SO heartbreaking. Especially for Mama Bee. I can’t even imagine being a mother and seeing your child treated that way. I would have lost it and the probably cried for weeks. I don’t understand how anyone can be so cruel. I’m sorry to hear that your school experiences were so unpleasant and difficult for you. It’s pretty amazing how strong you became so early in life because of it. I couldn’t help but think of the song Mean by Taylor Swift while you were telling this story and saying how you were determined to get through it and on to what you were meant to do in life. 💜 I’m so glad that you share your experiences because so many kids, and people in general, have been through the same things and I know you’re making such a difference for them. 💗
I'm a little bit bigger than most people my age (im 13) and this happened to me and i stared straight ahead and said, "If your trying to get me riled up, its not going to work because i dont give jerks like you the time of day. No matter what you do, I will not care because i know im amazing." THey never said a word to me again
Honestly, a month of story time is a dream come true during this lockdown. When I listen to you and your mom, it feels like hanging out with friends and family 💕
Thank you for this Molly. I had a girl who was blind in one of my classes in high school. I always thought she was mean then but now I think she was misunderstood and just having a really hard time. This video made me understand her better.
I’m so glad I wasn’t there. Molly is so confident in herself and knows how to stay calm but I would have walked over there, it would not have been good for those bullies.
I have a thing where I don't stand up for myself, but fuck with my friends? You're taking a trip to the nurse, I get detention for two weeks, and they get expelled. 😊 If that sounded specific that's because it was
@@Alethia_ Heheheh. Awesome! I LOVE it! I am usually the same way about others being picked on. But there was one incident among many, not anywhere near my first time being bullied but the first time where I finally lost my mind. The guy was twice my size and was still such a coward that he had to throw a rock instead of actually getting in close. The rock hit me in my knee and I dropped to the ground and cried like a baby, doing just exactly what he wanted me to do, while he laughed at me and called plenty of attention to a weak little boy crying on the ground. And then I got ANGRY. Adrenaline has a way of making pain disappear (at least temporarily). So he stopped laughing when he realized I was looking for the rock that hit me. The look on my face told him that I was not going to be nice when I found it. Once I saw it, we both ran for it. I got to it first because it was closer to me, after having hit me. He turned to run out of my throwing range and then he turned back around to watch me; he really was not the brightest bulb in the box. I had no intention of throwing it because I knew that with my crap vision, I am a LOUSY aim when throwing things, so that would just give it back to him. No, no, no, no. Instead I was going to keep it in hand and smack him with it repeatedly, once I caught him. I fully intended to beat his brains in with it. I would even switch hands when needed. He was bigger than me, but he apparently had never had to run form anybody before. I was always scrawny and even being short, I was always a decent runner, able to keep up with most of the normal-sized kids. He was still faster just because he had longer legs but he had little stamina, being used to stalking and ambushing people instead of really chasing. He kept stopping to rest but then he would see me coming with that look on my face and that rock in my fist. I chased him around the school building, we circled it twice while I was out for blood. Then he blew past a teacher, crying that I was going to get him. She stopped me and forced me to calm down (I was very angry with her at the time for getting in my way, but it's good that she did or I might have become a murderer before I was out of grade school). So it all got worked out. It turned out that he and a buddy of his had been shuffled around from school to school over many incidents of bullying. But this was the first time any of their victims had ever come after him with retaliation in mind. They both got expelled from the school I was at but THIS TIME, FINALLY, it went on both of their permanent records. I don't know whatever happened to them, and I don't care. As long as I didn't have to deal with either of them again, I was okay. But I still had to attend some therapy sessions. That was six weeks of a different kind of hell than the rest of my time in school. :P
I am so lucky that I grew up in a really small town where bullying was rare and severely frowned upon. However, I lived with my bully. They were an older sibling that would take any chance they could to make me feel horrible about myself. They would make comments on my body, skin, intelligence. The abuse went on to be physical in many ways and highly manipulative. Thankfully I got out of that situation as I got closer to my adult years. I haven't seen this person since. I look back on it and I'm almost thankful I went through it because I don't know that I would have turned out to be the person I am today, and I quite like who I am.
My entire life, I've had a very noticeable lisp. And it kills me because two boys were mocking me relentlessly it went on for months before me and my best friend told the strictest of our teachers, whose class it'd happened in, and I went on kind babbling as I was close to tears my friend simply added at the end "and they've been teasing Lily" and that teacher walked so fast to the outside of our next class, pulled the two boys into another class, with the other two teachers, and talked to them I'm not sure what they said but when they came out the boy's faces were bright red and when their friends asked what happened they said nothing
well I always say that success is the best revenge, and now, after a year I graduated highschool, where I was bullied, I study medicine and have a group of real friends that care about me and are there for me when I need them. It was worth fighting and going throug the hell to become who I am now. Molly you are an awesome person
The way I get through bullying is, tell my mind ‘just let them do it, they don’t believe in themselves so they pick on me because it makes them feel better’ but I stopped that because it gives them too much power, now I have extreme anxiety and my classmates would always scare me by saying things like ‘soon Dixie will go to heaven and you’ll be alone’ and they would start laughing (Dixie is my therapy dog and my baby) or they would just jump scare me. My principal is basically my best friend as she helps with things like pay for half of Dixie’s training and is an angel on earth.
Small Raccoon The way I dealt with it was I ignored my bully. I was like they are unimportant they don’t exist their opinion of me doesn’t matter and I’m a nice person and everyone in my class knew I was nice and no one really believed her cause no one liked her cause she always started drama
Extroverts: *literally dying inside cause they want to go out* Introverts: we've waited our entire lives for this moment... *RIIIIIISE* (I'm an introvert btw XD)
I'm an introvert, but I really want to get back to my old somewhat-routine [going to the gym every day]. I want to be able to do whatever I want. I'm ok with being by myself, but since I live with my parents, I'm going crazy with being around them 24/7, I have nowhere to escape to. I really need this crappy lockdown to end and for everything to return to normality! I can also relate to this bullying story.
Wait what about the ambiverts? (Half Introverts/Half Extroverts)? Im in the middle, i enjoy time going out with friends, shopping, get togethers (esp on weekends/fridays), then on days off enjoy my time by myself when get the chance.
Katheryn Nephrite One of my two homeschooled grandsons chose to go to his junior year in high school. He’d always played school sports and thought he’d like “real” school. He got through most of the first week. Not only was he disappointed with the teachers, but he found the lack of maturity/respect among his fellow students unbearable. Back to homeschooling.
It’s so unbelievable how often bullying goes unnoticed in schools. I know that at my school people bully silently bully by just excluding people. People don’t realize that that’s bullying too. L
This is so upsetting to hear. In my grade school the blind student we had was everyone’s best friend 💕 I wish there was some sort of outreach program for finding new schools for bullied students... although it is hard to predict how students will react with one another.
Molly: “I’m not going to remember you in a few years, so what does it matter what you think of me?” Me: Wait... so you don’t remember the names of every single person who was mean to you in school?? ...lucky..
I do remember their names (we were about 10-13) but I also often remember what they said or the look on their face. And I always remember in a very vivid physical way how it felt. The feeling in my stomach, how I would avert my eyes and try to shrink and try to feel invisible and wait for them to stop, the shame and feeling that there was something wrong with me. I don't think that stuff ever goes away. I don't think about it so often anymore, but I'm almost 40 and if someone rolls their eyes at me or speaks impatiently I sometimes get the feeling again as it was so deeply trained into me it doesn't take much to bring it back. Or just randomly if I'm tired or having a bad day it might come back. Even though mostly my life is happy and it's not something I think of that often. But it's like it's in my bones now, that memory and feeling will always come back now and then
@@carolinefreeman6343 Well, I don't have a choice. I don't remember names well and I don't remember entire conversation, but I remember faces and the gist of conversations and I remember emotions. I hold grudges like you would not believe. World Champion grudge holder here. Sometimes there really is not a choice whether to remember or forget.
When I was in Kindergarten the girl I sat on the bus with told me to “shut up” when I said “Hello”, or “Hi”, “How are you”, or even, “Good morning” she would say “shut up” every morning. I started riding another bus with my friends in the afternoon but I still sat with the girl (who was a few years older than me) in the mornings. That was about 5 years ago. About a year or two ago during the summer I realized she went to my summer camp. She went up to me and apologized to me. I forgave her because I was a Kindergartener when she was “bullying” me. I have not been bullied since then because I stayed surrounded by friends and ignored others with intentions of being mean in any way. We did make up but that was closest to bullying I’ve been. It might not seem to mean or like bullying but to a Kindergartener it was horrible. I wanted to try to make friends because my best friend was going to a different school and it was my first year of school. Thank you for taking the time to read this and did anything like this happen to you? It did not effect me to much because I began to not even try to talk to her anymore. If there is a message I want you to learn from reading this is that bullying is not okay to do and if someone is bullied a lot it can hurt them both mentally or physically. A year after our school plan switched up and got transferred with many friends and classmates to a new school. It was an anti-bully school and I do not know anyone well that has been bullied at that school. Again, thank you for reading and do not bully others! Bye!
Omg I'm so sorry, I remember in kindergarten me and a boy from another class I think where attacking eatchother, because he started pushing me for no reason, then at one point whenever he came I hid behind teachers and stuff, and I don't know what happened but lots of people around him yell or look scared, I know he was young but it still was not okay!
Have you ever been bullied? Share any advice you have, or tips and tricks that helped you to cope or overcome it.

Sending you all my love and remember, this too shall pass.
Molly Burke molly I have been bullied d for my whole life can you please help me to stand up to bullies xx
I've never been bullied, but when I came home from school and told my parents about the interactions I had, they kept asking me things like isn't that bullying? And don't let them bully you!
But the thing is, I never thought I was being bullied, and I still don't.
Sending you some love 💛
I used to get bullied for being white.
To help me with bullies I either pray our I turn hurt and anger in to a prayer so what you do is you pray who is bullied you!!!!

Like, who. the. FRICK. disliked it?!
@@sergeantsaturn yeah ikr there are some pure heartless people out there
i dont get it
Lol
The only way I survived high school was constantly telling myself that this is temporary.
SAME! Such an important thing to remember when you're going through a difficult time - it will end.
I can relate to that so much
Same, but with elementary school. I was egged, someone tried to strangle me with a sports pinnie, etc.
@@sarahmoores2724 omg i feel so bad. If someone egged me I would probably smack them. 😬
Sorry you went through this, I did also and did the same. Ignoring them makes the fire less high/strong, acting like it doesn't faze you they will get bored and eventually find someone else to harass. Schools really should be taking this topic more seriously also.
If that would happen to my blind daughter in front of my eyes I'd probably go to jail...
Twan van Dongen Yeah, honestly I’m surprised that “not biting your tongue” means just saying “what are you doing?” I would probably yell at them.
Twan van Dongen I probably hurt them with the nasty words out of my mouth😈😈😈
Twan van Dongen right?!? If I saw someone do that to my kids 🤬
@@PrincessPeyten i'd probably hurt a trashcan with their face...
Twan van Dongen same though

hahaha i love her shes so cute
How could she see the dog licking themselves? Did the dog lick hard and she heard it ?
The comment I came here to read 😆
They can usually hear better than sighted people as their other senses make up for blindness. There's always the chance the someone tells them, though.
I haven't being bullied much but me and my twin brother were on the swings. Were both a lot Irish, so were gingers. The kid who was next to us started insulting us because of the color of our HAIR. My brother who clearly had being waiting for something like this to happen. He then said "Every freckle on a gingers face is a soul we have consumed." The kid then went silent. Best day ever. Love you brother.
Edit: I only got 5 hours of sleep and I'm dieing
your brother is gold
I'm sorry you got bullied, so please take this as a friendly advice: you seriously need to brush up on your grammar and spelling. English is not my first language, but no amount of sleep deprivation could ever make me mix up "being" with "been", forget apostrophes or misspell dying.
@Misuke LMAO!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I got none-
PlugInKali it doesn’t matter, as long as people can understand it.
You also never know who you’ll be correcting. They might be using audio to text, which isn’t terribly accurate at the best of times, they might be dyslexic, they might not have great English yet.
So don’t correct people. Just don’t do it. If there’s something you don’t understand, ask a clarifying question, but don’t correct people. It’s rude. And that’s my advice to you.
Molly: this is going to be a month of storytimes
Me: Yes! We stan Molly storytimes!!!
Madelyn Ciravolo I was thinking the same thing!!
They are my FAVORITE
Haha.. Stan.
100%
Yesssss I will watch if it is molly

Because molly is blind 😭

I literally cannot even fathom doing something like that to anyone, let alone a blind person. Crazy that there are people out there whose brains are wired in such a messed up way.
The story she tells in the documentary Rising Above is even worse. She is incredibly strong.
People can be so cruel
People do that around the world
lizard brain mouth breathers 🙄
Yeah it just doesnt make sense :s once a girl tried to pierce a pen in my eye because we were "playing" (like we were in a drama/novela) at the moment i was like wa the hell is in her brain!
@@melissarosia3585 Do you know where I can find Rising Above to watch? I tried searching for it but I can only find other movies of the same title
Just imagine those kids that bullied molly and sees her now
Success, the best form of revenge! :D
YAS!!!
Ya
Karma lol
at the age of 16-17, they probably bullied her because they knew she was going to make something of her life and they weren't.
Yeah, my favorite thing was when I was bullied was if I let someone with authority know they wouldn't believe me. They would sit us all down separately, so imagine at least half of my class getting called out one-by-one then I get called out again after they spoke to the other kids. The principal, or teacher, or whoever it was, would sit me down and ask me what happened. I'd tell them the truth like "The boys locked me in the container we put the basketballs in." Which they did, it was a plastic container about the size of a coffin but taller. They shoved me in, put the padlock back on and locked it. The adult would then proceed to tell me that I made it up in my head and they didn't do that and I would get detention for lying about something so serious. Since I always had more than one person bully me they would have a story they would tell the principal so it seemed like I was lying since the bully's stories all matched up. It was wonderful.
I'm so sorry. People are really messed up.
I remember at school. the teachers are just so bad at tackling bullying, it's crazy. So we made a group of bullied people, we proyectes each other and tried to help. I remember i had a friend, his stepfather hit him, chocked him, hit her mother. The whole situation was crazy (he and her mother eventually moved out, trying to run from him). He had lots of problems and was really agressive, i really struggled with the rest of the group because i wanted him to stay in the group. I actually don't remember much of my own bullying, i remember i became a Stark defender of bullied people. from a very Young age i knew Who i was, i had a striking personality. i was also too over confident and clueless to realize people didn't like me (i have ADHD). I would get really angry when they bullied me, which made me AN easy target and i was tiny small so they overpowered me. I think that's why i formed the group, i just hated feeling so defenseless.
One of the beatifull things of the group was that when teachers came we could all give a unified version of the story, the bullies were outnumbered.
Thank you for reminding me this.
I call BS (not your comment, the teachers and them).
Every single one of those people can choke on a muffin :)
WHAT???????? thats so sad I hope you feel better
I’m legally blind. Once, there was a kid who thought it was fun to put his hand in front of my face and yell “wall” while I was walking because he said I ran into things a lot... I was a bad kid I guess. I got so fed up with him that one day, he did it and I punched him as hard as I could. I mean, I’m a little girl and he was a pretty big guy, but still. He never bothered me again. Lol! Most bullying I could ignore. I think the hardest part about school for me was the social isolation. I found it very difficult to make friends and school was quite lonely. People didn’t want to talk to the weird blind kid. Still, things do get better. I promise! I’m almost done my undergrad in university now and couldn’t be happier! Like molly says, it’s all about being comfortable with who you are. ;)
That is awesome, glad you showed that idiot what for!
Yas queen!❤
Wow! I'm not blind but I still get bullied just with different things and I'm so sorry no one should ever bullie anybody especially a blind person and you seem like a nice person and im sorry that happened to you
Poodle Eyes I know how that feels because I’m from Ireland and are used to be a kid in my school are used to bully me and one day I didn’t take it any more and I punched him in the face not hard enough to hurt him but just a general hard punch in the face that he did and she coming and this is when I still had usable vision and my mum had to be called into school and on the phone she basically said fucking good on him because this guy made fun of me a lot of the time but he was detained he became a friend after - so the bully can become your friend if you show them that respect is needed
Lizzy Gay what a story of them trying to create an equal world for blind people don’t have to be bullet
When my son was in kindergarten I knew he was being bullied. He came home with bruises and scratches. I had had conversations with teachers, the principal and other parents. I thought things were under control. One day when I was volunteering in his class I decided to step outside during the kids morning break. It was then I found a group of older boys standing in a circle around my son who was in a headlock by another boy who was punching my son in the stomach. That was more painful than childbirth. I was not as poised as your mother. I went fully mama bear. I ran across the field and SCREAMED at those boys. Like you my 5 year old son seemed unfazed. He looked at me like mom this is typical Tuesday. He is ten now but that image still haunts me.
Oh man, those little boogers would of seen a monster face on me! My child (4) he is the opposite in school, he honestly doesn't care about others. He has zero interest in playing with others. He might play with one or two, but not every day. He originally can have an attitude, I just hope he can use it if he ever gets bully. I speak to my kids about bully. I want them to get some kind of defense classes too.
Erica Williams I can tell you now if I had kids and I happened to them I would run over and I would beat the living crap out of his cage and I wouldn’t care if they couldn’t condone that I would be telling them if that happens again you’ll be hearing from me
I had a similar thing happen to me and my son. I just couldn't believe the lack of decency at school. I want to share how we moved forward. My son has aspergers. I volunteered in the school a lot too. This is what helped, when he found his people. The middle school band was a great place for him. And really emphasize your sons strengths to him and anyone who is in charge of him and get him help with his weaknesses. My son is 22 and is still saddened by the way he was treated, but as time passes, it is less and less. He is about to graduate from U Of M and will soon publish his first book. Sending you strength and hugs.
dm Porter-Gage can you let me know when this book comes out because even though you might know me I go to difficulties with autism as well even though it’s not dominant and I actually have Asperger’s syndrome or as it also known scared of moon syndrome and I like how your son has overcome his struggles in life and I want the autism ability to be respected people
See, this is why the school system is so weird. I got in trouble for pushing a boy that pushed me once. And then they just let little fuckers get away with that? I would have been just like you, I would have torn them a new one. And if the school didn't deal with it, I would be reporting them to the highest of authorities that I could find.
Molly:*puts up her hair the way she did*

I think Molly would be my friend if we went to highschool together. I really can't believe people are that wicked.
Mom: "I just didn't want you to see it.."
Molly: "MOM I CAN'T SEE"
I feel for you, Molly. Being bullied is incredibly hard on a child.
I remember being bullied as well by this one kid in 6th grade. One day he was kicking me in the back of my knee during recess. My grandpa, who dropped me off after lunch, had not left yet. I didn’t see him at first but suddenly he stormed onto the playground, grabbed the kid by the ear, and in his calm but stern military captain’s voice said ‘listen to me, you little shit. If you ever touch my granddaughter again, I will rip your ear off. Understood?’ The kid nodded, started to cry and ran away from us. Then, my grandpa looked at me, bent down and said ‘if he tries that again, kick him in the balls.’
Love my grandpa ❤️
Sound like what I told my kiddo about one of her cousins that liked to hit others when he hit her.
I told her to hit him harder and dont stop till he cries too.
Just an everyday person I’ll be telling my children the same. I was always told to never be the agressor but to always stand up for myself.
Sounds something my Dad would have done. My Dad is military and he would tell me, you have your bubble of space around you and if you feel threatened because somebody is in your space or hurting you, you have my permission to defend yourself, and the one time I had to do that in school, my DAD supported me 100% to the principal. Said, you may want to tell the other kid to keep his hands off my daughter, because she has my permission to defend herself however that needs to happen.
What an icon
Kellie Saragoza I think your dad and my grandpa would have gotten along perfectly
I wish Molly’s mom could have a channel reading stories , her voice is great
Books in braille
Angel :] what do you mean? I’m talking about her moms voice
Brooke Kilgore that’s because her mum has an Irish accent I should know because I’m from Ireland
Jordan mahony The blind world yes I know she has an Irish accent but she still has her own individual voice within that and it’s so lovely
Who else is sad that molly got bullied 😔 I am also so mad that they would bully Molly when they know she is blind. 😣🥺
It’s truly awful
Bullying is horrible why is it even a thing
I know right I hate bullying!!
Fancy & Pink I myself have low vision and have always been too afraid to be as brave as Molly and tell some of my bullying stories I was bullied by teachers and students when I was in school just because I was different and a little weird
me, because bullying is definitely the worst thing ever in life and you should never ever bully someone just because of the way they look, the way they experience things in their own life, Etc. 😔😭
i was bullied not long ago, it was last February 2019, i was born with cataracts they were discovered at the age of 4, i lived with terrible vision for years, i was always wearing some kid of new idea to strengthen my vision, from eye patches, to strong glasses. finally at the age of 13, i was in for my yearly eye exam, and i was having a really hard time seeing the letters on the chart, my doctor dilated my pupils and told my mom, "we have a problem, her eyes are worse, if i cant see in, she cant see out" so we decided i needed surgery, i took a while to find a doctor but finally i had my surgery, this was the worst weeks of my life! i was in constant pain, i couldn't see, i had constant migraines, but then i went back to school. my eyes were always blood red and you could see the stitches, i was bullied because people wouldn't look me in the eyes, they would point and laugh, they would ask rude questions like "are you high?" or "whats wrong with you?" nobody ever stood up for me. finally the redness went away and people still make fun of me for having to wear reading glasses, it effected me very badly a while ago which led to self harm and depression, luckily i'm much better and i'm confident and don't care anymore.
I had an eye patch as a kid, and I'm disappointed that my mom never dressed me up as a pirate for Halloween. 😂
--Those people who made fun of you at all are jerks, but especially for the glasses... I'll never understand bullying because of someone's self improvement. A fat person exercising is trying to improve, glasses / a hearing aid improve eye strain/deafness. Some people don't make sense.
People make fun of me all the time but at least they try to do it in secret 😂😂😂
My brother needed glasses, because he shot himself with a toy gun in the eye. Now his eyes were watering, he couldn't see. that much, He needed a eye patch to because if he didn't wear it he might go blind. My friends at school say why is your brother's eye watering? Is he okay? My friends never bully him, they were nice.
I'm deaf so I was severely bullied, harassed, and sexually harassed by students and teachers throughout my whole school life. I spoke but with a deaf accent and mispronounced words, so I was horribly bullied because I talked funny to the point where I barely said a word for years. I was always treated like I was stupid and couldn't do anything by myself without assistance, or couldn't do it at all. This broke my self-esteem and I had no confidence in my self. I was forced into special education and they literally hired a woman to follow me around all day everyday to monitor and "take care" of me. She spoke to me like I was a two year old (I was in middle school at this time), wrote everything down for me, made it very well known to EVERYBODY that I had a disability which brought on more bullying. I was denied bathroom breaks because they thought I was either lying about having to go to the bathroom, or I needed assistance and they didn't want to do it. The woman even followed me out to the carport after school and would stand there and point to every single car, "Is that your car? *points* Is that your car?" When I saw my mom, she wouldn't even let me go to her because she had to confirm that was my car and that was my mom.
The special education teachers stole my stuff and lied to my parents about multiple things so I was constantly in trouble. In high school, the bullying and harassment got worse to the point I started getting sexually harassed. I mentioned it to a few teachers and no one did anything.
College, a few organizations in the school trying to take advantage of me. Students who knew I was deaf and needed to sit in the front row would proceed to take all the seats up front anyways and force me to sit in the back where I missed out so much. Or just flat out ignored me. Had some stupid professors who wouldn't accommodate me or were just stupid and rude.
These are just basics and barely scratching the surface of the hell I went through growing up. I eventually found myself and gained my self-esteem and confidence somewhere along the road after high school, so any comments or bullying don't affect me anymore unless they're getting in my way, like my education for instance. I fight back now and I can be mean.
That sounds terrible- I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that crap.
I hope you have people around you who love and support you unconditionally who will do anything to keep you safe and feel good about yourself
My worst bully in school was actually a teacher.
I definitely faced that too! I was bullied by two teachers at different schools... very sad when ADULTS who are supposed to be there to care for and educate students behave like children themselves and inflict harm on their students.
Same it got to the point that I had to be removed from the class; this teacher had humiliated me in front of the class multiple times and had consistently put me down, once I was out of the class they put me down to bottom set. The bright side of the story is that I proved them all wrong and got a B in English even though I was told I wouldn’t get anything near a pass
thats messed up because ur supposed to be able to trust teachers and talk to them when u r bullied...
@@MollyBurkeOfficial I would love to hear that story.

Thank you for the video, Molly! Hope y'all continue to stay as safe and healthy as possible. Take care! 👍🤟💜

he's cleaning himself. just practicing self care ya know? lol

So my lab/hound mix Bella also. Gotta love their habits sometimes lol
My teenage years were absolutely horrible. My mom had me addicted to her pills around 11 years old and selling them at 13. She let me get a tattoo at 12, was buying me cigarettes and alcohol already too. I didn’t really have friends. Was always in abusive relationships, taken advantage of. Molested by many, raped by someone twice my age. Dealt with many many predators, it’s disgusting how many men want to be with a teenager. Homeless, had a miscarriage.. I could go on and on. I met my husband at 17, we were homeless together for a little while too. We soon got an apartment then we had two kids by 19 years old. We are 28 now and just bought a first home in January! So my life has turned around but I’m still dealing with what happened in my childhood and coming to terms with it.
It’s so important for parents to be involved and be there for their kids! I had absolutely no guidance from either of mine. If I did I think my life would’ve been much different. My mother didn’t even tell me what a period was! I started it at 9 and hid it for years because I was mortified about telling anyone.
You should be incredibly proud of what you have done with your life. To come from such hardship and end up married with children is a wonderful story. I hope you and your children have a remarkable life. You deserve it!!
That’s an incredible story. I’m so proud of anyone who was able to overcome such obstacles.
Katie ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And now you're Super Mom! It's horrible the things children are expose to because of lack of quality parenting. My own traumas still hunt my mind from time to time, I had a breakdown while pregnant with my second child. I just tell myself: You need to do better, you need to protect your kids. I have deep dark secrets that I try to, you know, just to put aside. Some people try to solve it by deciding to become drug addicts, others like you, like me, like so many we deal with it in a way where your life has more positive than negative. Where they break the pattern and stop the abuse for a healthy family. I send you a big hug and I wish you and anybody who had gone through evil The Best of Luck. Best wishes. 💜🐛
"At some point in life, I definitely had a glow-up." I second that wholeheartedly! I think you look really pretty, really friendly and approachable, but your face still has this grown-up look to it that says "hey man, no need to mess with me. I got this." I hope that makes sense! And at any rate, take it as a genuine compliment. :)
me watching this in the 9th month of quarantine thinking: you should have saved some of the stories for now..... But you do you.
Nobody:
Molly: I was bullied
Me: whoever this is, we bout to fight
Evelyn Hersman saaaaammmme
The ‘nobody’ joke doesn’t work here
Evelyn Hersman i love the profile pic 🤣🤣🤣
That format doesn't work here and comes off as disrespectful, which I know is not how you meant it.
😳 I can’t even digest this. I can’t even in my head picture a whole group of teenaged kids doing this. I’ve never witnessed bullying to this degree and it’s beyond shocking that this happened to a blind girl. I’m absolutely just shocked. I’d love to know what kind of parents raise pieces of shit like this. If anyone bullied my child like this I couldn’t help myself, I’d be cussing them out every which way till Sunday and whipping out my phone camera so fast to record this nonsense and send it to every local news station around. Congratulations to Neve(sp?) for being so gracious, it’s better than I could have done.
Molly’s pillow though. 2020 in a nutshell.
That's insane that those things happened to you Molly. The highschool that I went to had disabled kids and blind kids, but never ever did someone bully them the way you got bullied! There was a very well known blind girl in my school, and everyone treated her normally like a person. If bullying ever happened to her, I sure as hell never saw it otherwise I would've done something. It's all ironic, because I grew up in the "ghetto" part of my city, the poor part, where there was gangs and violence. But for some reason my there seemed to never be extreme bullying happening at my school.
Because those kids had bigger issues. Rich kids are like bored gods, and the school is always hyper-focused on impressing Karen parents.
I've noticed that too, when you're in rich areas/schools and suddenly there's way more bullies. I think poor people know there's worse things in life so they don't want to make problems for other people because what's the point? Rich people, however, I guess they're bored and think it's fun to make people suffer.
I went to a similar school and we never had bullies. Everyone pretty much got along or just minded their own business.
I was abandoned by my mum when I was 4 because I am blind. Your message really helped me feel better about myself!
That's horrible! You should love your child
This message probably wont find u but still you're so strong!!
As a teacher it BLOWS my mind that they didn’t put an end to that behavior like honestly I’m mortified
true but most of the teachers couldn't care less like yeah they'll be like stop it but they're still not doing anything that actually helps
Why do people bully other people anyway? It’s just wrong and all it does is make amazing and beautiful people feel bad about themselves! And that is not okay!
I think people mimic behaviour they are surrounded with so if hate is their normal routine they will mimic that behaviour and hurt people :( it’s sad and annoying but that’s what happens. I’ve been bullied lots but I try to understand why they do it. Gotta say I’m really bad at understanding them but I do try 😝♥️
True Wolf Girl So they feel better. Also revenge
Pandaplayz Gaming I’m sorry you’ve been bullied
I was severely bullied when I was a kid and then became a bully later on. In my teenage years, I saw it as a form of revenge, like I was finally able to be "on top" of others. Today, it's something that I am terribly ashamed of because I know how bad I made people feel, despite having been through the same myself. This is my experience, so I don't want to talk on behalf of anyone, but I think we don't give enough attention to children's mental health. Kids don't know how to properly deal with their problems and traumas, and I think it would have been a hundred times better for me if I could have talked about it to someone, which I've never done.
In my school bulling stopped at grade 7/8. There were like 2 individuals who were so gossipy that it could be seen as bullying but still it was only talking behing your back. I can kinda understand bullying as children because they dont even know what they are doing and they just want to belong to a group. But over the age of 14... like they are old enough to fucking behave like mature teens. They understand what bullying can do. Geez. I wished this would just stop
No one should ever go thru this and the people who did this should be so ashamed
I got bullied a lot throughout my entire school career, because I am very emotional and I have a mental disorder where I have very unstable emotions and I would end up crying very frequently. So many people would make fun of me and there was even teachers who wrote me up and tried to get me suspended just because I was sitting in the hallway crying to myself. Even teachers can be just as rude as the students and it still hurts everyday as I deal with my various mental illness that resulted from this. I have a very hard time making friends because I feel that they will just get frustrated with me and leave. I have been alone all of my life and no one has ever tried to help me. I feel that I just don't have anyone that would care if I was gone.
Ya teachers can be bullys i don't have any bad mental stuff but i have severe anxiety and not severe but i also have depression and because of this there has been 2 teachers in my life or three really who wear mean to me one was in 6th grade and at this time i still thought all teachers had our best interest at heart and kind of looked up to deter so at the time I didn't even notice that she was being a bully to me just because she could just because I wouldn't stand up for myself and then I have two teachers this year that have been bullys to me and it is weird and hurtful to me because iv always been a good kid and not done anything wrong and been a teacher's pet most of the time so when a teacher is a bully i dont knoe what to do and one example my teacher this year or i guess last year as of now wud call me out in front of the class and say what i was doing or something i had was wrong even though there would be other kids doing the same thing or that had the same thing and she was soft to the popular girls too and when she called me out everyone in class would look at me witch would spike my anxiety make me panic and a lot of the time she talked to me like i was stupid witch would make me have to bite my lip so i would not cry in front of 36 people!
Thanks for letting me rant
“you just can’t care about it”
Youre such an inspirational person, even to a sightee ❤️
Why have I never thought of laying down like that to do a pony tail?! That’s brilliant!
If I were your mom, I'd take pictures of them and the stuff they threw at you with my phone. Then I'd report them to the principal. Bullies need to be held accountable.
The fact that 176 people actually disliked this video makes me sick
Maybe they dislike cus it made them sad or angry but still its rude
They were probabley bullys
They are probably bullies.....
They probably disliked the bullies and then disliked the video by mistake..
I am beginning to think there are bots taht do this because it almost doesn't matter what the topic is, they show up.
I've been bullied my whole life for being autistic ( so I can feel this on so many levels).
As someone who was bullied a lot in school I can understand the "I was over it" situation.
This will sound dumb but I never had friends in school. I just accepted the fact that there was something wrong with me and that's why no one would want to be near me.
Then in grade 12 I was talking to a girl in my class about a group project (it was a compulsory one otherwise I would have opted to do it alone).
She just looked at me, as I was explaining and went, "You seem like such a good person, I don't know how I ever believe the stuff people say about you."
So turns out people were actively making sure that I had a miserable time in school.
I never really had friends since we moved city in year 2 - at best I was a transient member of various groups, but never found 'my' place other than maybe briefly in yr 10. I wasn't bullied much, just more ignored. Though one time my 'friends' at the time thought it would be fun to run away at the sight of me... Yeah, still working through that in therapy.
So sorry to hear this, I'm glad that girl recognized you for who you are because there's nothing wrong with you!! Hope you're better now
@@anu01anu95 *hugs* I now have a few close friends and a lovely husband, but I do still find myself worrying what others think of me, and whether they carry a vendetta against me.. Its probably mostly me catastrophising, but it's hard to shake those 'vibes' you get from some people.
I just want to be liked dammit!
I'm in a power wheelchair and when I was in elementary school my dad would come into my class and he would introduce me and answer questions from my peers. We also in elementary school had field day and we would set up a obstacle course for my classmates to try out what it felt like to be in a power chair and the boys did AWFUL!!!!!! And the girls ACED it!!!!!!!!!! And I think this helped them to understand that I'm normal just like them and not to be afraid of me/others who are different!!!
Nella Galliher That’s amazing.. you guys did an great job educating others.. This needs to be done in all schools
Thats amazing and I feel kinda bad for wishing I could have a go 😂, but that's so cool. Though it would be hard to do with blindness, like I guess you could give them verry dim sunglasses and a guide dog and be like "go to the store and get me a snickers"
2020 the time where you can’t be judged for staying home and being lazy
Emma Christensen 😂 I love it!
Girl, you just changed my life with that ponytail tutorial. Genius!
I remember being bullied in 4th grade. My parents were aware of it and while it didn't phase me at the time, I do believe it played a part in my earlier 20's and the insecurities I had then. I can still remember being told my nose was fat, or how my eyes were too narrow or "too Asian". What's ironic is that the girls who made those comments ended up being in my girl scout troop a couple years later, and so that gave us a chance to become closer.
I think what baffles me the most is how some people never learn to be more aware of their words/actions until they're either much older, or perhaps that chance doesn't come at all. It honestly costs nothing to be a decent human being, and I'm glad that Molly was able to endure those hard moments of bullying.
Yay Molly’s story times are my favorite!
Ty for like my comment molly
Your my favorite UA-camr this is my dream I am jumping up and down so much right now!
It's fascinating listening to this. I never had any friends because I'm gay so the so-called "outcasts" were drawn to me, and they made my life possible to continue. People in wheelchairs, people with eating disorders, people with "disfigurements." I can totally relate to the bullying part. We "abnormal" (and I say that in the best possible way) need to stick up for one another. In the end, we're all just human. Much love. xoxo
That's how I feel! I always thought I was the only one
I hope mabey every thing is a bit better now💛 you (if you aren't already,) should find yourself a gsa. It's my favorite place ever and I'm not even sure my sexuality yet! I hope this helps. Lots of love💛💛
Yup
Kids can be so cruel. This coming form a 15 year old girl that has also been bullied for years. Even though I’m not blind they still try trip me and chuck grapes and wrappers at me I’m the lunch room. I ignore them, like you said it’s the best thing to do. Just wanted to say I love you and your channel, you inspire me to be better. Your amazing ♥️
I am so sorry, Pandaplayz Gaming. No one should have to go through this kind of disrespect. Focus on the goal. Get through it and get on with life. Try to find joy in the little things and focus on them in the meantime. This is coming from a 47 year old who went through similar 'stuff' in school. It gets soooooo much better. Peace my friend
Molly: i bacame blind when i was in grade 8..
Molly's Mom: *laughs in parenting*
The people who disliked were trying to like, they had tears in their eyes and clicked the wrong button.
I get like, blackouts, where I can’t see but im still full conscious. People are just as bad in my middle school as you high school bullies. So glad we have this quarantine to get away from people.
Hey idk if this helps, but I found that middle school was the worst for bullying and in high school everyone just minded their own business. I hope things get better for you and just remember it's only a few years. It will be over before you know it!! I promise!
If you're not already diagnosed, it sounds like POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). You might want to check it out.
I had that happen to me about ten years ago once. It was so scary. My bestfriend was embarassed to hold my hand to walk me too. I never found out why it happened. If anyone knows please comment.
So sad and I and my Daughter was bullied and she was actually happy when we went into quarantine and she didn't need to be in school with her "friends" who were mean to her every other day. It has been a relief for us also to see her happier at home where she is safe and her self esteem is growing with each passing day thankfully. Children these days can be so brutal. Society expects ppl to be perfect and it is just not realistic. We are all beautifully flawed and need to embrace this in ourselves and others. Our flaws make us beautiful. God bless you.
Yes! I know exactly what you mean. It's like my temper raises so quickly that I respond without thought. Thank goodness for psych meds!
I love how the pillow in the background relates to this quarantine
Literally Molly, they should make all your stories into a movie. You are so inspirational. I would watch that movie ten million times.
“Mom I couldn’t see” 😂😂
Aw this is why I love you Molly! You always bring humor into a sad situation and have a great attitude 💖
You know, I’m not an audiobook person at all, but I feel like I could totally listen to yours for hours
ya me to
My mom would always tell me "don't invite them to your wedding" which was her way of saying that I didn't need to keep any of them in my life.
I LOVE THAT!! I'm gonna say that from now on
Waterflame I see your point same here proving message
Molly: grade 6 was a great year grade 7 was a great year grade 8 I went blind
Mom: *starts laughing*
Coping mechanism at work
That’s how I use to do my ponytails 😂
Aesthetic Grunge me too lol.
Same!
I was the same way in HS, with a goal and purpose that didn’t revolve around school. So glad to hear others have the same view and way of coping ❤️
I love that you said “couldn’t have cared less” instead of “could’ve cared less” ‼️ you’re an educated QUEEN 💕
Lol just lol
its such a pet peeve of mine when people day "could've cared less".... its like oh so, you do care a bit? xD
YES I hate when people say it wrong
I'm glad Momma Bee didn't bite her Irish tongue. I'm a mom too and hearing that someone acted like that gives me an eye twitch. Ughh
I was bullied in school because I was supertall, I was 13 and already 6’... but I used all my strenght to have good grades, I played handball and it made me feel good. I wanted to be as good as possible in everything I did so they wouldn’t have anything else to bully me for. I was superemotional and people would try to make me cry. But I had two amazing friends who stood up for me when I didn’t have strenght. They would be by my side at all times and helped me get through everything.
This story made me feel so emotional, I can’t believe that people have that much disrespect!!! I think that this is a good message for people who are going through similar situations xxx
Lily Grant well it makes me angry because I’m also blind and visually impaired and it also poses the question would I want anyone to do this to me and the answer is no I would not
I love your mom's voice she has this beautiful tone. She would do great as a voice actor
Definitely agree! Such a calm, gentle voice- so pretty!
"i have drive. i have purpose" lol can't relate. i didn't think i'd live to my 18th birthday so i've just been winging it for the last 5 years 😂
I use to have to carry an extra set of clothes with me everyday. People like to throw food at the fat girl.
That's really sad they shouldn't bully you just because of your body type
I'm so sorry that you went through that!! No one deserves to be treated like that.
Fat is just a word those people don't deserve you I hope you get through this difficult time
Those people need their butt kicked. EveryBODY is BEAUTIFUL. So sorry you had to go through that!
@@pennilessdeity2198 they shouldn't bully in general😅
I really love that painting in the back
I am absolutely shocked, I am a freshman in high school and although there’s mean kids at my school I could never see anyone ever do anything like that. It is amazing that you just shook it off. Good for you girl! I think this video will really change my perspective of when I’m going through hard times in life
i love your story times sooo much, they really help me see a whole new perspective on a world i dont know. This was so sad it made me cry
As an adult that was badly bullied and now a mum to asd/ADHD kids who are bullied. This is an amazing video xxx. Your mum is very wise. Love from Australia
I’ve been bullied my whole life; by people I though of as friends, teachers and just peers around me and it still haunts me to this day. Some people say bullying builds character but in my case it had permanently effected me in a way that can’t be reversed. I believe that if I wasn’t bullied I may not be such an introvert; I almost always doubt anything I do nowadays but I know I need to fight the anxiety but all this belittling through my life had taken its tole.
Even though I am not apart of the blind community, I find your videos (molly) so helpful and it’s helped me gain confidence almost all the time. Thank you so much! These 30min videos make the biggest difference and I’m sure there are many other people that feel the same
I probably have anxiety and/or depression and I'd say at least 70% of it is because I was bullied in the past so I see any approach as a possible attack. Even if the person ends up being nice I feel horrible after any interaction with a stranger.
Amber Fierstein although I do not have the same problems as Molly I do have low vision caused by a brain injury and I’ve had it since birth I was bullied so much to that I became an introvert and found it hard to trust people when it came to friendships, relationships even my family sometimes. It is horrible when people make you doubt yourself and what you’re capable of ordure due yourself or judge you for being who you are and bully you because you’re different
That’s horrible. I hope that you get better because nobody deserves to be treated the way you have.
Amber Fierstein it alters us from childhood. I was bullied for an entire year when I was 8. Sadly that wasn’t my worst year as a child either.
Somewhere along the line people turned against virtue and thought they were hurting their kids by teaching them to be good because they would then be "vulnerable" to the world. They wanted their kids to be tough and they started fighting back when teachers disciplined bad behavior and the parents threatened lawsuits. Teachers and schools buckled. They decided to go with the mantra that kids need to learn to handle situations by themselves and let the bullies run free. What is worse, they said the kid had to handle things on their own when even the TEACHER or an authority figure was the bully. Kids were afraid to let their parents know what was going on because the kid was retaliated against if they sought help in this imbalance of power. This is still going on today. Today is Easter Sunday. Christ lives. He taught us how to live and we need to get back to raising "good" kids and human beings and pushing back against bad moral behavior.
9 people were crying so hard, they missed the "like" button.

I love seeing people who are close with their parents and that have that kind of support
I remember being bullied in elementary school. When I knew my family would be moving in the middle of the next school year I begged my mom to homeschool me for a year. I ended up being fortunate enough to continue through high school.
I have tears just from being so proud of how you reacted to this event.
I was bullied at high school and it was miserable, I dreaded going to school everyday and I didn’t tell my family what was going on. But like molly said, you can get through it, it will end and you can go on to do amazing, incredible things. I was the first person in my family to go to uni. I have so much more confidence now, when I was in high school I was made to feel worthless but no one is worthless. Everyone has the potential to be and do great things. Everyone. Even if it’s small things. Be true to who you are and don’t let bullies make you feel like you don’t deserve to be happy. Easier said than done, I know but one day it’ll all be a distant memory x
My mom has RP, and any of my children have a chance of getting it. I would literally fight a kid...or their mom at least. Your awesome and I love your positivity! My mom loves you videos and how independent you are. I think it inspires her because she was born in a different time and always kind of taught she could do anything. I love your videos!
Mary never fight the kid😂it literally makes it worse for your kid showing the bully they need their mommy to stand up for them. They bully the kid more after that
Hola Mami yyuuuupppp
It was kind of obviously a joke. I'm like 30 why would I fight a child lol?
Mary girl you wouldn't believe the parents who try that shit omg
The pillow in the background is perfect for this time
This is SO heartbreaking. Especially for Mama Bee. I can’t even imagine being a mother and seeing your child treated that way. I would have lost it and the probably cried for weeks. I don’t understand how anyone can be so cruel.
I’m sorry to hear that your school experiences were so unpleasant and difficult for you. It’s pretty amazing how strong you became so early in life because of it. I couldn’t help but think of the song Mean by Taylor Swift while you were telling this story and saying how you were determined to get through it and on to what you were meant to do in life. 💜
I’m so glad that you share your experiences because so many kids, and people in general, have been through the same things and I know you’re making such a difference for them. 💗
I'm a little bit bigger than most people my age (im 13) and this happened to me and i stared straight ahead and said, "If your trying to get me riled up, its not going to work because i dont give jerks like you the time of day. No matter what you do, I will not care because i know im amazing." THey never said a word to me again
With me being blind due to RP I wish my mom could see what I go through at school so she could understand what I go through.
Stay strong, love!
We’re all here for you
also i’m obsessed with story times. also would love a Gallop-specific q+a
Honestly, a month of story time is a dream come true during this lockdown. When I listen to you and your mom, it feels like hanging out with friends and family 💕
This literally saved my life Molly, thank you so much
Thank you for this Molly. I had a girl who was blind in one of my classes in high school. I always thought she was mean then but now I think she was misunderstood and just having a really hard time. This video made me understand her better.
I’m so glad I wasn’t there. Molly is so confident in herself and knows how to stay calm but I would have walked over there, it would not have been good for those bullies.
I have a thing where I don't stand up for myself, but fuck with my friends? You're taking a trip to the nurse, I get detention for two weeks, and they get expelled. 😊
If that sounded specific that's because it was
@@Alethia_ Heheheh. Awesome! I LOVE it!
I am usually the same way about others being picked on. But there was one incident among many, not anywhere near my first time being bullied but the first time where I finally lost my mind.
The guy was twice my size and was still such a coward that he had to throw a rock instead of actually getting in close. The rock hit me in my knee and I dropped to the ground and cried like a baby, doing just exactly what he wanted me to do, while he laughed at me and called plenty of attention to a weak little boy crying on the ground. And then I got ANGRY.
Adrenaline has a way of making pain disappear (at least temporarily). So he stopped laughing when he realized I was looking for the rock that hit me. The look on my face told him that I was not going to be nice when I found it. Once I saw it, we both ran for it. I got to it first because it was closer to me, after having hit me. He turned to run out of my throwing range and then he turned back around to watch me; he really was not the brightest bulb in the box. I had no intention of throwing it because I knew that with my crap vision, I am a LOUSY aim when throwing things, so that would just give it back to him. No, no, no, no. Instead I was going to keep it in hand and smack him with it repeatedly, once I caught him. I fully intended to beat his brains in with it. I would even switch hands when needed.
He was bigger than me, but he apparently had never had to run form anybody before. I was always scrawny and even being short, I was always a decent runner, able to keep up with most of the normal-sized kids. He was still faster just because he had longer legs but he had little stamina, being used to stalking and ambushing people instead of really chasing. He kept stopping to rest but then he would see me coming with that look on my face and that rock in my fist. I chased him around the school building, we circled it twice while I was out for blood. Then he blew past a teacher, crying that I was going to get him. She stopped me and forced me to calm down (I was very angry with her at the time for getting in my way, but it's good that she did or I might have become a murderer before I was out of grade school).
So it all got worked out. It turned out that he and a buddy of his had been shuffled around from school to school over many incidents of bullying. But this was the first time any of their victims had ever come after him with retaliation in mind. They both got expelled from the school I was at but THIS TIME, FINALLY, it went on both of their permanent records. I don't know whatever happened to them, and I don't care. As long as I didn't have to deal with either of them again, I was okay. But I still had to attend some therapy sessions. That was six weeks of a different kind of hell than the rest of my time in school. :P
Me: *rolls up my sleeves, bouta fight whoever picked on Molly*
Gurl don't get ur ass beat , sit tf down
Savage Unicorn same
Savage Unicorn I will fight for her to she my blind sister and I will fight for her
OMG SAME😜
Same dude same
I am so lucky that I grew up in a really small town where bullying was rare and severely frowned upon. However, I lived with my bully. They were an older sibling that would take any chance they could to make me feel horrible about myself. They would make comments on my body, skin, intelligence. The abuse went on to be physical in many ways and highly manipulative. Thankfully I got out of that situation as I got closer to my adult years. I haven't seen this person since. I look back on it and I'm almost thankful I went through it because I don't know that I would have turned out to be the person I am today, and I quite like who I am.
I love these molly story's so I'm excited for watching them!
Molly is so pretty and has such a strong connection with her viewers!
My entire life, I've had a very noticeable lisp. And it kills me because two boys were mocking me relentlessly it went on for months before me and my best friend told the strictest of our teachers, whose class it'd happened in, and I went on kind babbling as I was close to tears my friend simply added at the end "and they've been teasing Lily" and that teacher walked so fast to the outside of our next class, pulled the two boys into another class, with the other two teachers, and talked to them I'm not sure what they said but when they came out the boy's faces were bright red and when their friends asked what happened they said nothing
well I always say that success is the best revenge, and now, after a year I graduated highschool, where I was bullied, I study medicine and have a group of real friends that care about me and are there for me when I need them. It was worth fighting and going throug the hell to become who I am now. Molly you are an awesome person
The way I get through bullying is, tell my mind ‘just let them do it, they don’t believe in themselves so they pick on me because it makes them feel better’ but I stopped that because it gives them too much power, now I have extreme anxiety and my classmates would always scare me by saying things like ‘soon Dixie will go to heaven and you’ll be alone’ and they would start laughing (Dixie is my therapy dog and my baby) or they would just jump scare me. My principal is basically my best friend as she helps with things like pay for half of Dixie’s training and is an angel on earth.
Small Raccoon The way I dealt with it was I ignored my bully. I was like they are unimportant they don’t exist their opinion of me doesn’t matter and I’m a nice person and everyone in my class knew I was nice and no one really believed her cause no one liked her cause she always started drama
Extroverts: *literally dying inside cause they want to go out*
Introverts: we've waited our entire lives for this moment... *RIIIIIISE*
(I'm an introvert btw XD)
Lmao same
Yeah everyone has been waiting for a virus to come and wipe out the population
Tonight, we rise!
I'm an introvert, but I really want to get back to my old somewhat-routine [going to the gym every day]. I want to be able to do whatever I want. I'm ok with being by myself, but since I live with my parents, I'm going crazy with being around them 24/7, I have nowhere to escape to. I really need this crappy lockdown to end and for everything to return to normality! I can also relate to this bullying story.
Wait what about the ambiverts?
(Half Introverts/Half Extroverts)?
Im in the middle, i enjoy time going out with friends, shopping, get togethers (esp on weekends/fridays), then on days off enjoy my time by myself when get the chance.
Being homeschooled I can't even imagine entitled brats who would dare do such a thing
Katheryn Nephrite One of my two homeschooled grandsons chose to go to his junior year in high school. He’d always played school sports and thought he’d like “real” school. He got through most of the first week. Not only was he disappointed with the teachers, but he found the lack of maturity/respect among his fellow students unbearable. Back to homeschooling.
It’s so unbelievable how often bullying goes unnoticed in schools. I know that at my school people bully silently bully by just excluding people. People don’t realize that that’s bullying too. L
i want a movie about molly’s life and journey of self acceptance and love!!!
This is so upsetting to hear. In my grade school the blind student we had was everyone’s best friend 💕 I wish there was some sort of outreach program for finding new schools for bullied students... although it is hard to predict how students will react with one another.
Molly: “I’m not going to remember you in a few years, so what does it matter what you think of me?”
Me: Wait... so you don’t remember the names of every single person who was mean to you in school?? ...lucky..
Sameeee, I remember every shitty person that was ever mean to me.
I have a whole list of people. I like to have it. Somehow it helps to stay mad at them in order to forget how they actually made me feel.
I don't
I do remember their names (we were about 10-13) but I also often remember what they said or the look on their face. And I always remember in a very vivid physical way how it felt. The feeling in my stomach, how I would avert my eyes and try to shrink and try to feel invisible and wait for them to stop, the shame and feeling that there was something wrong with me. I don't think that stuff ever goes away. I don't think about it so often anymore, but I'm almost 40 and if someone rolls their eyes at me or speaks impatiently I sometimes get the feeling again as it was so deeply trained into me it doesn't take much to bring it back. Or just randomly if I'm tired or having a bad day it might come back. Even though mostly my life is happy and it's not something I think of that often. But it's like it's in my bones now, that memory and feeling will always come back now and then
@@carolinefreeman6343 Well, I don't have a choice. I don't remember names well and I don't remember entire conversation, but I remember faces and the gist of conversations and I remember emotions. I hold grudges like you would not believe. World Champion grudge holder here. Sometimes there really is not a choice whether to remember or forget.
When I was in Kindergarten the girl I sat on the bus with told me to “shut up” when I said “Hello”, or “Hi”, “How are you”, or even, “Good morning” she would say “shut up” every morning.
I started riding another bus with my friends in the afternoon but I still sat with the girl (who was a few years older than me) in the mornings.
That was about 5 years ago. About a year or two ago during the summer I realized she went to my summer camp. She went up to me and apologized to me. I forgave her because I was a Kindergartener when she was “bullying” me.
I have not been bullied since then because I stayed surrounded by friends and ignored others with intentions of being mean in any way. We did make up but that was closest to bullying I’ve been.
It might not seem to mean or like bullying but to a Kindergartener it was horrible. I wanted to try to make friends because my best friend was going to a different school and it was my first year of school.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and did anything like this happen to you? It did not effect me to much because I began to not even try to talk to her anymore. If there is a message I want you to learn from reading this is that bullying is not okay to do and if someone is bullied a lot it can hurt them both mentally or physically.
A year after our school plan switched up and got transferred with many friends and classmates to a new school. It was an anti-bully school and I do not know anyone well that has been bullied at that school.
Again, thank you for reading and do not bully others! Bye!
Omg I'm so sorry, I remember in kindergarten me and a boy from another class I think where attacking eatchother, because he started pushing me for no reason, then at one point whenever he came I hid behind teachers and stuff, and I don't know what happened but lots of people around him yell or look scared, I know he was young but it still was not okay!
“IT’S HILARIOUS! MY DAUGHTER WENT BLIND AND WAS BULLIED!!”
😂she’s positive in literally every situation what the heck
