Kids like that get really entitled. “Oh am I really the problem because I called that kid ugly and worthless? Am I the bad person or is it you for getting me in trouble because you called me on it? Why cause a commotion?” The longer they are allowed to get away with it, the worse adults they become. At least until everyone around them grows up and realizes they don’t have to deal with their crap.
But I mean that tiktok generation I call I mean I was born in 2006 and use tt but just that rat always annoys me like sorry rats are hella smart animals more organised than us humans so like.
@@shirabe64 I hate that many times those kids have parents who think they're angels, and refuse to believe that their child could ever do something like that
me and my friend call each other rats as a joke because a youtuber we both like likes to call us fans rats as a joke of course but my mom said it's not nice like we both are in the joke and none of us get offended by it, is it that bad?
@@danielpearse9875 are you from down under? Also stay strong man don't let those people get you down, but the thing is you have to show them you won't let them get you down ignoring them won't fully solve the problem.
Yeah, my teachers would blame me for defending myself, like when some kids went tot step on me, so I kicked them a way and then I got in trouble. Tell me if that makes sense.
And not getting let in enough to know the whole story. I know I was almost never secure enough to feel it was safe to share everything. Mostly because there were moments on my part I was sure I'd get in trouble for myself.
It’s sadly one of the tactics bullies use. If you defend the bullied kid, you get bullied too. It makes it so no one ever comes to your rescue and more people join in. Absolutely sucks.

I mean how would that not have helped- if it had only been cyberbullying? The only reason it won't solve anything for her is because it isn't just cyberbullying, it's also real people in her surroundings. In a case of random people you don't know/ who are far away from you cyberbullying, block will get rid of it. As long as it's only cyber bullying and no irl bullying, block would help.
Blocking does help though, they literally feed on your reactions. So much of this is because we're so addicted to technology, detach from your phone and get rid of social media.

Basically the message is "kids, take care of each other, bc school won't do shit for you" and like, yeah that's true, I've haven't had a teacher that genuinely cares about me since I was in 3rd grade and it sucks
Yeah I feel that, in my school a kid bullied me and the teachers didn’t do anything because his parents where rich and the contributed with school money.
eh thats depending on the situation tho if there just talking smack ignore them if they put there hands on u then thats a different matter all together
I suffer "silence rat bully" what is that?, when they just dont do something in front of your eyes and always do stuff in yoir back, i get rid of them just confront and said "if u have something to tell me, just said it", then they stop but i they tried getting close and then, just block them in real life, ignore them. In all the way of their existing, and they hate that, but yeah, ignore is the last step in bullying proteccion
Humans seem to be programmed to see hierarchy in every aspect of life and change their behaviour accordingly Those who they harass and ridicule they perceive as beneath them Those who they see as superior to them they glorify and praise It's all to elevate their own position in the game called life Quote sad, really
I'm called a snitch by kids at my school when I tell on them for stuff they called me just last week a kid said I had the body of a garden gnome I'm trying very hard not to cry while typing this cause I feel very insecure about my body
@@The_Official_Goblin don’t listen to those literal cavemen. Ur beautiful. And you are loved. Life is hard and it sucks theres people like them. But try to get. Through it💜💜
I was called a snitch just for telling the teacher a kid had his phone out in class. I went to a charter school up to the 6th grade so phones weren’t allowed at all. They’ve been calling me a snitch to this day. Sometimes I feel like nobody’s listening to me, they just say “We’ll take care of it” and nothing happens. I tried telling my dad and he just tells me “You have a good life, why are you so depressed! You know when I was a kid yadda yadda yadda!” I’m not belittling my dads past, he’s been through a lot but you still shouldn’t belittle what someone is going through just because it’s not as bad as what you went through.
Bullying isnt calling people names thats just normal words dont mean anything and if u dont like it just say ull shoot up the skl like as a joke or beat one of em up or start calling them back names cuz bullying is being bet up and robbed or like in class the hallways lovker room thats bullying ik u American liberels are to soft and sesintive to here jokes or be called names but im just happy people arnt brain washed where i come from

I was a victim of sexual harassment and know how this feel, I was pressured into going to some school trip and I was gonna be alone with those who harassed me, I said no but the teachers would put me on it without my consent if i didnt have a reason and in the end admitted to them what was happening, i thought i was gonna get help but instead they made me shut my mouth and there was no actions taken, so i told my parents and my father blamed me for it for being a soft guy, so in the end I got hurt more.
@@zommomomo8963 almost the same thing happened to me when I went to camp keep. I got forced into touching his...yk on the way home because they wouldn’t let me sit with anyone else.
One of the most diabolical experiences I’ve had as a guy who got bullied for a handful of years was 1) refusing to retaliate on my enemies out of sincere compassion for them and 2) them making me feel like I’m a worse threat that either deserves to be bullied or doesn’t know what they’re doing. I took on a spiel of childhood trauma that I underestimated for nearly a decade, including some conflict in college and even in recent where I’m highly misunderstood for my situation. Sometimes I tried to reach out but I would be so blind and confused as to my idea of asking for help that I ended up hurting other peoples feelings as if I myself were taking advantage of them, again misunderstood. I don’t have any regrets to this day concerning how lucky I am today, but amongst things like how depressed I was for years I have a few notions for those in my shoes no matter the age: 1) don’t be ashamed for having a slower paced life than others. I’m sure no one wants to be left behind, but you will cultivate way more healthily if you are accepting of where you are right now. 2) you do have time. You will be surprised how many open doors come to those who prepare for them, I’d imagine the people who typically don’t feel guilt from their day to day situations but can still feel empathy for others are the ones that deserve to unfold the opportunities. 3) let life show you the potential. I’ve always believed there was a reason i belonged on this earth no matter how deep in the hole I got or how pathetic I felt that I would never want to offer value if no one knew of my tragedy. No one should ever feel like they have to contribute something back at the expense of their own well being and connection. Anyways I’m very grateful for the casual yet creative approach of this short film. Maybe the arts really are an outlet for emotional drive and context that’s not recognized well enough these days. Feel free to reach out to me for anything, I’m more patient beyond belief and still work on my self compassion every day! Much love whether you are safe, struggling or out of the flames but still hope for things to make sense the way they can, and will. Don’t be afraid, always try something positive you’ve been in thought of and don’t ever give up.
It sucks how this becomes very apparent once high school kicks in. Counseling didn't help, antidepressants didn't help, I was at that point where I just had to get the rest of the years over with just so I could get out of what I called a prison.
The fact that the "goo" that grows in each person's room, that they are trapped in their own ideas, is what scares the most, since the idea of "drowning" in ideas would be like giving up everything, and ending everything , if you understand me..
I do understand that😢. I was bullied throughout my school years. I have been bullied all the way from elementary school all the way up until my last year in high school. In total, 13 years of bullying. 10 of those I hated myself and the world around me. I felt like I didn't matter! The last 3 years of school(basically high school), I was done being the victim. I stood up to my high school bullies, and showed them, "You can try and break me, but I'm a freaking diamond!" Plus the fact that they used the exact same words as my elementary and middle school bullies used, like they followed a freaking script📑 I can't tell you how many times I was called stupid, ugly and weird. Nowadays, I use those words, but in a positive way. Stupid? I never claimed to be a genius. Ugly? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Weird? I AM WEIRD😜, and I wouldn't change it! I love being different!
@@cheez1012 I mean yes and no. if you do it all the way through school then you can choose who to hang out with. If a friend is being toxic then you don't have to talk to them, and you won't see them all the time.
@@Silver_dawgnic104that’s me, friends used to ask if I’m ok (pre depression) when I’d just lay my head down randomly. Now when I try to give hints they don’t do anything, even when I get bullied literally next to them, they don’t do anything, but they’re all I have. Today was weird, my “friend” asked where I was during gym because I was just doing testing stuff, but what was making my day worse was in SRT, she was sitting at my table but had the feeling she should bring up a chair because “I don’t wanna sit there because... *like 5 second pause trying to make an excuse instead of just saying she hates me or whatever the real reason is* because the teachers right there”
The worst type of bullies are the ones that can recognize other's mistakes and faults but can't recognize their's. They'd watch a movie and when they see the bad guy they boo, they call them an asshole. But when they do the same thing and they get called out for it, they make excuses.
There was a girl who absolutely hated me because I was friends with her best friend too, she was one of those rich girls that invited the entire grade to parties, except people she didn't like. I was one of those people. This was all going on in primary, but near the end people started seeing how badly she treated other people and wouldn't put up with her for the benefits of being her friend, so she lost her friends and came crawling to me for help. For a while she couldn't understand why people left her, and I had to explain to her that she was a bully.
@@MonochromaticBananaBread God that's... pretty scary. How does one have the mindset of being so self-centered and not wondering if something is your fault if people see you as a bad friend I'm glad the girl cares about friends and wants to have them again rather than staying in her own bubble of being the innocent one and not wanting to change
that purple liquid may symbolize all the self-loath and negative feelings they have. And when the boy drowns in all these he's possibly considering suicide then a single message of concern made him got out of it
So true lol. They think that with a "sorry" of the bully the problem end or something like that. Tbh is so ridicoulus how the most of the schools didn't know how help to the victims.
@@despair_idk As much as I like to poke fun at the very poor animations trying to shed light on how bad schools are, I think this one is the only one, that is actually well made. It won't change anything, but at least it wasn't hilariously bad. I was poking fun that they even showed how schools will only say they take bullying seriously, and than they do nothing.
I like how the purple thing represents how alone and bad feel every body when someone only wants to annoy us and make our self feel bad or stupid but with a little of help we can feel better.
I recently reported sexual harassment. It was a fairly popular kid who did it and since then me and my friend, who I reported it with have experienced this sort of thing but not as bad as in this film
we don't even snitch anymore in highschool. like we just don't care lol. but i remember back in kindergarten or first grade, there's always that one kid who would pretend to snitch on someone but they just ask the teacher if they could go to the bathroom. it's ridiculous and a great anxiety booster.
I hate this bc it’s so realistic, schools say they take it really serious but do absolutely nothing. For example- in class I literally get made fun of and get called slurs right in front of teachers and no one cares
One of my teachers let the popular kids that bribe the principal mock my name with me present in class. Almost nobody takes me serious at school and most of my teachers hate me and refuse to use the name I feel most comfortable with even tho I told them countless times So yeah...
@Im Everywhere dude I am already at the point where I watch tv and wonder why nobody is wearing a mask. I wish I was still at your part of the experience.
The worst thing is that bullies forget what they did. They'll never realise what how awful they were and they'll never apologise because in their eyes they were angels.
@@indiecrowarts in elementary school I wasn't a bully, but a couple of my friends were and I did nothing about it (I wouldn't laugh or sth, but I saw and did nothing). I never got to say sorry to the kids that were made fun of, and I'm not friends with the bullies anymore. It must have been so hard to you and difficult to see how little they cared about sth that made such huge impact on your life. I'm sorry for what you had to pass through, and you're very strong for being able to let go such thing. Now I'm in highschool and ofc I always speak up about bullying and try to help, but it's not like it covers how I neglected this type of thing as a kid. I hope you're doing well *hands you a flower*
That made me hate bullies, and if they dare to open their mouths against me or friends, now same sex couple or even to innocent unknown ppl i just turn so different Like, i pass to emotionless towards bullies and all empathy dissapears,anger and vengeance,i don't feel pity,idc if they end bad or good,idc and if they have issues,idc if they later will regret or not. I just don't care ab anything when it's talking ab them. Because the fact they can't understand they did wrong I heard ab my old bullies nowadays life and they still harass, annoy, bully If it's not to me They do towards others My ex was so annoying to me and said crap to me Since i broke up with him, he now annoys other ppl with his words. He doesn't care. If it's not me, will be another one. If they victim is not X, will be Y. They don't care ab anything, anyone or else. They don't learn the lesson, think and change to be better persons They just "care" for a while but then turns back to "normal" as always. They need to bully,annoy, disrepect,discriminate And it's so Fuckin' disgusting,they find AMUSEMENT in that. I hate a lot of things but don't discriminate or bully bc of it! It's easier to be polite, respect and have a conversation,if the thing i hate is harmless and it's just a subjective disliking and not a trait that is actually harmful or annoying objectively. Sh*t that they can't understand I still remember their sadistic laughing faces/look on them when bullying me or others. The fact that was as a hierarchy They were in the top And you all down there in darkness That if u dared to tace them,they would go against you The fact there was nice ppl too but didn't hang out with you because fear of being bullied,or they were bullied as well. The fact they control the place How i told teachers,my mom tried everything,but shit kept going on, bullying never ended, bullying still happened,i was maybe even bullied on public or alone and teachers never moved a finger to help me neither did classmates How they're supposed to be forgiven? How can ppl ask me to forgive,if they keep being not pure? How can my bsf tell me to move on,when he didn't experienced half the shit i did? Even i told him everything and even the how they did things to me? So i just stay away from them and not have any kind of relationship,bc for me,they are not humans. Neither animals. Would be disrespectful to compare animals to those things. Lately i knew ab my friend(girl) being bullied because she couldn't attend her bf bc final college exams. His friends(21 or above,while she being only 18) harassed her. Insulted/disrepect her. Made comments bc of that,social media,in hanging outs. Fake parties,ended in a crack hole and getting wasted,and she being scared. Indirects ab how she was a bad gf towards their friend. The same ones who went homophobic towards me or my gay friend,the ones who said disgusting things to my mate with eating disorder ab her body The ones who insulted us in quarantine while playing videogames The ones who made scenes or victimist role and being so annoying Those who were male chauvinist too. The same guys. They didn't change. They're still the same The ones who expect u to get wasted on discos or whatever or you're not cool, you're a freak and should commit OOF The trouble makers ALWAYS talking ab topics in disrespectful and disgusting ways,instead of good manners ones.
Saying stop might actually make the bullies worse, like they'll hurt you more because they can see how much fun it is to hurt someone who shouldn't be hurt.
ok but in my opinion if their under seven or so fine they really wouldn’t understand what their doing is horrible but at THEIR AGE thats straight up harassment
why does everyone write "no"? It probably hasn't happened to you, but that doesn't mean it's not difficult to answer "are you okay?" for those who did go through something.
I feel like the "kill myself" scene really means a lot and should be spoken about more, he wasn't just symbolically drowning in sorrow, he was literally being consumed by depression and contemplating suicide, the scene has a lot of meanings when you delve into it
The teacher is so real. “Why do the quiet ones always get picked on?”. This animated clip makes me think, as long as you’ve got one singular person in the world that cares about you, then you shouldn’t commit. I loved this sm I’m actually gonna cry
Taking your life because of egotistic maniacs that are deep down mentally unstable (bullies) is a terrible way to go out. Like I wanna live to 85 and have a happy life.
High school is such a fish bowl, a lot of the time bullies won’t even realize what they’re really doing (or at the very least, the full extent of it) because they have these images of stereotypical shoving kids in lockers or “gimme your lunch money” scenarios when they think of bullying. Showing the role social media has in bullying is so crucial nowadays
Yes those stereotypes from movies, cartoons, and other media give off these perceptions or impressions of how bullying is and they're misguided by those bad examples. Even with Social Media bullying is getting worse but also getting more attention or awareness. Personally I feel like the parents are accountable for this to a certain degree by failing to supervise and discipline their kids/teens behavior teaching them from right and wrong.
I don't think it's that they don't realize that it's bullying. At least in my experience, it's just that these people don't care and they think your reactions (or lack there of) are funny. I will say that I agree people don't see it as seriously if you're not getting physically abused and you're seen as 'sensitive' and whatever when these kids emotionally and/or mentally abuse you. I don't think people recognize that bullying is just a nicer word for abuse.
Honestly I feel like the simple thing to do is actually block these people. Why do people care so much about what is being said online. I literally have people on my insta posts calling me ugly and putting obscene comments, I block them. The internet is such a wide place that you can block these people and your life will be do much freer.
@@HotCheetoGirl_ not always works that way. What would you do for example if photos and insults were spread all over the internet? To everyone you know, rather than in a DM
When I was a kid I had a lot of panic attacks because of bullying, one time I locked myself in the toilets to be alone and then I heard a girl come in and she was crying, doing the exact same thing as me. So I went outside the stall to check who it was and it was another girl from my class, we never really talked much but this time we talked to each over and we told each over everything and even though that was only one short conversation it has been the best one of my life.
I really like how they used the purple goo as a metaphor for being overwhelmed with stress that could led to them to drown in that stress which is obviously suicide
Basically the moral of the story: Always help others when they're being bullied. And if the bullies are after you too, comfort the other person who is being bullied.
i got bullied since I was 3-4 years old (im now 15). 2 years ago I foud my best friend that didn't got bullied for a long time like me but he got beat up allot in his old school. When we found each other we almost immediately understood us and became friends, I helped him overcome his depression and now we are both very happy. Our schools did nothing to help us.
@@abhagupta41 -_- hmm well yes could be. but I don't think all of em end up that way. Anyway I hate bullies not because they like hurting others but because they can't mind their own business
Nah, when I was younger, teachers were the ones who bullied the kids, I thought it was a regular thing until I moved. The teachers always said that we were stupid and no point of teaching us, it only made us want to do better so they would stop saying that
There was this girl who always said at assemblies “I would stand up for them no one deserves to get bullied.” However she bullied my friend constantly and now my friend is going to therapy because of it
Wow, what a hypocrite. So sorry that happened. Hope things get better for your friend and continue to get the help they need. Hope things are good on your end too.
I feel like I would be that girl. Not because I bully my friends, but because I have a dark humor that I'm still trying to control, yet it still counts as bully. This would be my advice from personal experience: tell them to stop. If they say sorry and stop (maybe to the point they struggle to say hi), they just have acid humor. If they don't, they're assholes.
Yeah, I knew a girl like that too. It was back in middle school, she was quite literally the leader of my bullies, and during the "bullying bad" moments in class, she always pretended that she'd be that one hero who would be the one standing up to bullies, when she was one herself.
@@rosavillanueva5189 You are a very noble person, very few people acknowledge their flaws and try to improve them. Coming from a person with a thousand flaws, kudos to you.
@@Rollie-4DaPollie Right, for starters, victims of bullying usually don't get to have a "happy ending" as the epilogue of this short would make it seem. They either learn to tough it out or run away, somehow. This is mainly for two reasons, the first one is that bullied people very soon become emotionally "damaged" and they are not great or fun people to be around. While from the outside they might look like the victims, they're seething with rage, pain and hormones so lashing out at the earliest chance is not uncommon. In the short it's kinda surprising how the overweight kid didn't develop romantic feelings for the girl almost right away, bullying develops a sort of Stockholm syndrome on the victims so any show of kindness or non-aggression to them can make their emotions go from 0 to 100 very quickly. The second, related, reason is that people who don't like bullying, in general, normally prefer to stay away from the bullied. I imagine it's somewhat similar to the subconscious aversion you have for the sick. Maybe it's an evolutionary thing. In my opinion, a more accurate depiction of bullying would show a more isolated, angry (not sad, ANGRY) and emotionally damaged victim with almost complete lack of social interaction. Sprinkle in some instances of Stockholm syndrome (like I mentioned before) and there you go. For the epilogue, you show the victim either having a complete mental collapse or learning to live with their trauma.
I don’t understand how this is still going on... The people who are “against bullying” are the very same people who bully, and the people who actually stand up for the bullied get bullied back
The worst part about being bullied when you finally break or can't do it anymore, so many kids had ended it all because of bullies and when you tell an adult they don't do anything they just say "ignore them" how?.. They are following me everywhere I go just to see me mess up how can I ignore them...
Well you gotta understand back then people would get beat to death physically by bullies. Nowadays you get beat to death mentally by bullies. Things have changed but not really. Bullies will always be Bullies.
My dad would fight off a crowd of demons if it made me feel better.. Some dads go through the same things and know hiw to handle.. others not so much..
"We take bullying very seriously" was the biggest lie we were ever told by the school system growing up. Addendum: I wasn't saying this to garner attention or internet clout, but I appreciate the likes and the fact that everyone has decided to weigh in on this topic. It's a cruel world out there, but I hope everyone makes it. You only have one life to live, so grow up big and strong and maybe one day we can all come together and make public schools safer places for our own children to learn.
as a former victim of bullying I litterally cried. You hope that someone notices and cares about you and most times you have to realise that no one cares as long it does not affect them.
“Hurting someone’s feelings is like throwing a rock in the ocean. But how far do you think that rock Goes?” Meaning: If you hurt someone’s feelings you won’t know how hard it will effect there feelings. Treat others the way you wanna be treated.
"Its just a joke" Fine, I can believe that argument, but if I wasnt laughing, shouldnt you be concerned in apologizing, or did I really have to yell "shut the fuck up?" Do you happen to be blind or you just dont care?
The sad fact is we live in a society where they can't be punished for the behavior due to the fact that online bullying literally gives them freedom to attack without laying a finger on the victim.
@@childofolivares8754 I remember when I was bullied. Until one of them actually tried to physically beat me for talking to a girl they claimed as theirs. Having a dad who is a vet does wonders on your ability to defend yourself. Of course this would be a month after Columbine so you can guess how the school took it when i beat a bully who was physically stronger and taller than me. Don't know what was worse. The fact they threatened to expel me or chewing out my dad for teaching me to fight back despite the fact he and I had told the school several times about the bullying
As I've grown older, I've realised that cruelty is weak, and kindness is strong. It takes a crowd of cruel people to break you but it takes just one kind person to save you. That's why cruel people always target the most vulnerable and weak people, or they will work in a crowd. But kind people will give their kindness to everybody, and do it alone. Be the kind person :)
It’s sad that this is pretty realistic. If someone tried to help someone who gets bullied, they get bullied themselves. Then there’s the kids who bully other kids, but when the kid commits suicide they suddenly pull a whole 180 and go “this is so sad RIP, they didn’t deserve this 😭😭😭.” People are so shitty
"Are you OK?" "No." "Why?" "Because of the bullying and my parent having the terminal illness which might kill them an-" "Oh that's just you wanting attention. You're lying." And then they (Maybe?) wondered why the quiet kid went deathly silent. Doesn't help when students AND teachers/assistants are telling me I'm lying and making excuses for things. And THEN the teachers have the audacity to yell at me for not coming to them for help, when I did and they shut me down, and for Not Interacting With Others. The others that hate me? Gee I wonder why(?).
I’m glad that the bullying portrayed isn’t just “oh you’re so fat” “she’s not cool” “he’s a nerd” and it actually shows how far things go such as that one person saying “lol I’d kill myself”
The person who said that in this short film is just cruel.S**cide isn’t something to throw around as some insult or saying something like “lol I’d (unalive) myself” just straight up without maybe asking if those jokes make someone uncomfortable or even if they’d thought about (unalive)ing themselves.People shouldn’t just throw s**cide around as some joke
@@silliest-astro Thanks for the reply.I really hope more people see this short story and learn from it.People shouldn’t throw that kind of thing around as some sort of joke.Tysm for understanding
Everyone’s talking about the school. Talk about the father. “Your lucky. You can just block em. Case closed.” That hit me so hard, since my Parents say the same thing. They don’t help, they just say I’m overreacting and just block them. It isn’t that easy.
Yeah ;-; don’t they know there’s other kids at school who use social media? There’s a chance your cyber bully could be attending the same school as you, and even bullies you irl
I remember one time my dad picked on me and I got flashbacks of when I was kid, I got picked on and the kids would yell and force me to look away because they don't want me to look at them. I started crying at that age and it still bought me into tears now. The old man despites me crying for no reason. He just hates me and my mom cry because he assume its something small or 'stupid.' He tells me to just laugh it off and some other stupid shit. He doesn't know that I've been picked on for my weight or becuase I had no friends and was the quiet kid.
I'm really glad this video showed it in a realistic light - sometime parents or guidance councilors don't understand, or can't fix the problem. They didn't give us the generic "Tell and adult" speech, they showed us how supporting each other can help, even when adults fail to do so. Really amazing video!
Hey there, that's really sweet, understanding and thoughtful of you to say that and you're a really good and amazing person and people really need to be kinder to each other, kind people like you make this world a better place. I hope you have an amazing day and take care
And for others it can ruin it. Depends how they say stuff like if it’s genuine then i acc feel so much better, but if it’s that fake ass sickly sweet shit then i get so angry but I can’t just say it to their faces. Smh.
It does suck.. I stopped talking to someone because my "friends" would get upset or mad at me if I did. I wish I talked to them now. I want to apologize but I'm not sure what to say, how to bring it up, when to say it, and chances are we won't even be in the same class anymore. It's going to be a new year of school pretty soon. The only way I would be able to talk to them is if we were in the same class. Because I'm a pathetic wimp who makes stupid decisions and is too stupid to fix their mistakes afterwords. I'm glad there are people who have the bravery to talk to others and fix stuff though. :)

i agree, instead it can be the opposite, social media can be used as a escapism mecanism, and then lead to depression. also the exposure we have on social media, internet is huge and it can cause tons of problems, such as getting information too early on the age rage.
@@couldntcomeupwithacleverna7417 y'know. Someone just randomly asking "u okay?" tears me up, like someone just actually cares/concerned bout you, atleast 1 person, but then you gotta say "nah i'm fine" coz u dont wanna bother them. It's complete mix of emotions. ughI can't explain it briefly. guess i'll cry in the corner
Schools: *"If you get bullied, don't be afraid to tell us. We will take matters into our hands and we treat it seriously."* Also schools whenever someone gets bullied: *"Well that sounds like a "you" problem."*
I love the symbolism of the purple jelly. Like jelly, the hurtful words bullies say follow you around and cling to you until you can barely move. But when you find someone who cares and you can relate to and when you stick up for yourself and others, it's like your washing that jelly away and walking away clean.
I really liked the use of the purple goo as a representation of depression. I don't know about everyone else, but when I was bullied as a kid that's kind of what it felt like. Like I was weighed down by some unseen substance, and said substance making the words stick longer.
@•*The Rainbow Closet*• Same with me at first, until I saw the paper hit him without anything on it and the bully recording the guy in the beginning and saw there was none on him then. Plagued internally and spreading outward. 😞
yeah its nice as symbolism but honestly thats not how it felt to me because everything was internal. nobody called me anything nobody hit me. they just kinda picked on me and they didnt play with me, nobody wanted to be my friend. they werent openly insulting they just didnt like me as much. to me it feels like dust and sand that just builds up inside and gets everywhere and you dont notice it you just feel it but you cant see it you cant see the piles just feel the tiny grains everywhere that amount to a great big nothing. nothing to report nothing to tell nothing there.
My daughter came home from school today and told me that this video was shown during her class announcements, and I am so very glad it was. And I'm so grateful she told me about it. This. Is. Amazing.
“Just ignore them.” is the worst advice a parent can give their child. My cousin was bullied in elementary school and her mom told her to just ignore her bully. The bully was still picking on my cousin and she was upset so she told my mom. My mom actually listened to her and had a long conversation with her about it. I think it really helped.
Totally agree with this, in elementary everyday in the morning there were announcements on the intercom that at the end said “if your ever being bullied remember to 1. Ignore it 2. Tell a teacher 3. Tell them how there actions make you feel” This was drilled into our heads, and I just realized after reading your comment how shitty their advice was ‘just ignore it’ they make it sound so simple, it sounds like a good idea in hindsight, but can easily morph into bottling up your emotions, and brushing off how you feel. I remember I was bullied by these two girls in elementary, they’d criticise everything I did (one literally complained about the way I breathed), and would make a point to exclude me from anything. And I foolishly tried the ‘just ignore it’ route. One night I just couldn’t take it and told my mom everything. So my mom being a awesome person she scheduled a private appointment with my teacher so I could tell her Everything that was going on, at first I was upset she did this, because I thought it was a overkill to do that, so basically undermining myself, but my mom stuck strong and I ended up telling my teacher everything, she too was a awesome person who really cared about her students, so she had a sit down talk with both the girls, and the bullying ceased. so let that be a lesson to anyone still reading that you’d shouldn’t just ignore it, that you should always tell someone instead, just ignoring won’t make it stop, it’ll just let the bullies get away Scot-free and nothing will change
@@suz7970 Another thing is a lot of bullies don’t let you just ignore them. My cousin tried, but everywhere she turned her bully was right there, ready to pick a fight and blame it on my cousin.
Child: ~is being bullied and is obviously not ok~ Dad: "Well you kids are lucky nowadays! You can just block em!" Idk why that didn't stand out to me the first time I watched this. It's not like her blocking them online will prevent her from seeing them in real life. Her blocking them isn't going to stop them spreading the hate towards her online, which will affect how people act towards her in real life, even if she doesn't see it online. It's like the gloop. Even if she doesn't get that gloop from the phone directly, she's bound to get it from other people, through other means. It wont protect her. {btw, I'm glad your cousin found real support! I hope y'all are doing ok!}
Absolutely!!! If it were someone doing it to their spouse we would call it abuse and treat it as the incredibly traumatizing thing that it is... but with kids, it's just bullying.
Everyone including teachers were toxic at my old highschool and they both wanted to be close for some reason. The teachers would give anything to the bullies. Even other students personal information. It was messed up
The Dad's comment really hits hard. Saying things like "You're so lucky!" and "You can just block them" don't make you feel any better. You still know people are going to say stuff, you'll just be blissfully ignorant to what people are saying about you. It feels like they're just invalidating your feelings, and acting like your emotions aren't a big deal.
Feels like that but most of the time is that they don't understand it, one must understand that parents and older people grew up in a generation where interactions where more physical and even if they use tech, most of them don't really are as connected to it as younger people. While the gossip can be horrible in social media, what the dad said is true, you can just block them. One of the problems with young people is that, for some reason that I can't understand, they keep going back to these post, they even search for them, giving them a even worse bad time. Also there are lots of way of fighting againts bullying, maybe it's different nowadays, but when I was at school some where having a group of close friends or doing some favors to a diverse group of people (so you can have them help you in the future). Probably the two that are the most important and that have the biggest impact in a short time are: making them know you are not an easy target (usually some good fights in my case, they really like to go for weak people) or going to the correct autority. The last one is really important, as most of people know school authorities are useless in general, soo a quick talk with a lawyer and a good lawsuit with a 100% warranty of prision time stops most of bullying.
I think it differs from people to people personally I don't really give a fuck about what people say I'll just make a short sharp reply and then just forget about it. Obviously I am upset but I would rather do something positive about it than keep listening to those draining voices. But I understand that social media influenced teenagers a lot so I don't blame them for going back to those hate comments
@@imranhaziq4956 I remember that some people used to say bad things about how I looked ( I was kinda fat back in school days) , my way to deal with things was kinda different, my self esteem was (and still) exceeds mortal limits, so I had plot armour and those usually ended with I as the champion. But Yeah, if you ignore them or make a quick reply they will usually go away. There will be people that will say "oh, but if I ignore them they hide my things or they hit me or they vandalize my things", well, for those cases 3/3 are crimes, so what I said stands true, a lawsuit makes bullies go away.
@@Blinix2 The thing is, it’s not as simple as just blocking them and moving in with your day. Oftentimes, bullies will create heaps of new accounts if they figure out you blocked them, and then keep sending you horrible things.
@@jewelsthecat5331 I feel like at only 30 I'm too young to be having this kind of "generation gap" moment, but I genuinely don't understand how if the harassment has escalated to that point why someone can't just get off social media and cut the bulk of the harassment out of their lives. I don't mean to sound condescending when I say that, I just genuinely don't get it. I understand the benefits to having social media, but surely at that point the damage it's causing overrides the benefits.
i can never understand bullies. like why bully? what is so wrong in your life that you have to take someone elses? As they said, what comes around, goes around. Bullies should fear what they have in their future if all they do is pick on people
as a person who almost became one, you just don’t know what you do in life and your just bored, you just can’t get fun out of anything anymore, it’s a last resort for people, some bullies got bullied in their childhood and chose to be one instead.
Notice how the other kids started avoiding her? The tactic of the people at the top is to keep their victims isolated, so that they have power over them, if the victim talks back then it’s just one person that they laugh down as a group, along with their stupid insults, they seem clever with alot of sheeple, and other people have to isolate them or else they become victims themselves. This is why it’s important for victims to stick together, and it brings a whole new meaning to the saying “they only have power over you if you give it to them” you don’t need to just ignore them, you need outright to rebel.
@♡•Lizzyiuuu• ♡ sweetie you are such an angel, they’ll get what they deserve. They’re only mean to you because they’re insecure, keep focusing on school and don’t lose yourself being nice to them 💜
@♡•Miraculously Lizzyii• ♡ I was bullied years ago and it's my greatest regret that I never slapped at least one of those girls. If you don't change, the situation won't change. So if you can't stand it, don't ignore / stay kind, be creative and fight back your way (telling other people, screaming, faking a panic attack, throwing punches...). You may end up in trouble but you'll break the circle. I wish you the courage to do it!
I'm so tired of parents saying "just ignore them" "you can just block them" It isn't that easy! Edit: Guys I posted this like years ago and dude... past me was cringe 😭
In High School, my daughter felt rejected by her classmates...so her and another couple girls started including all those who they noticed that also felt like they didn't have friends and they started their own circle of friends. Their group ended up being a large group. She had more friend in the end than any of the "popular" kids. Support and kindness are healing.
.. my dad knew that teachers wouldn't do anything so he told me if I ever got bullied that I should punch them in the nose. I never got bullied because I always acted tough but if I did and I punched them I don't think the court case would go very far .
honey remember you are never alone, it may feel like it, it might feel liek youa re alone in the dark, but there are hundreds around you and even if no one else is wanting to hold a hand out remember this i am your friend, i dont know you, but that doesnt change that i am your friend :)
@@ironman98 Yeah.. i remember a few years ago when i had a boy in my class who was bullied, and i tried to do everything to stop it because i was so frustrated, but since i had no friends and was the only one to step in, nothing happened. The popular girls in the class just watched when the guys bullied him, and i heard them say to each other that someone had to do something, but since they were friends with those guys who bullied him they just stood there and looked dumb. I remember I ran after the bullies and screamed at them to stop but it was like they didn't even hear me. It's just so shitty how people can see bullying happen with their own eyes and still do nothing about it.
please remember that calling someone out for bullying (or any other form of harrassment) doesn't make you a snitch/goody-two-shoes or whatever the fuck kind of excuse or name they'll make up, it means you're brave enough to stand up for yourself/someone else and that you are spreading awareness
I’m not gonna lie, I use the word snitch. But it definitely shouldn’t be used for someone trying to stop bullying. A better use of the word is when your sibling rats you out for taking a cookie, or when your talking to a friend during class and some kid yells to the teacher about it. To end my statement, bully’s can eat crap.
Then, the victim committed suicide and the authorities say "Oh my, I am sorry about it. We tried our best to help." Then, they punish the bully with a few years in jail. But, is their sorry sincere or an automatic response?
What do you want them to do about it though? Besides giving lectures about online safety and anti-bullying, they genuinely can’t. They don’t own it. As someone who was bullied, I hate the whole argument of “I hate that no one does anything about what goes on online.” Like, there genuinely isn’t anything they can do.
@@ameliablack4587 Ok??? And what do you want to do about it? I haven’t seen anyone provide an actual solution to online bullying yet. The best thing you can do is block.
at my school everyone has this twisted definition of bully in their brains that is: "a bully is someone who beats you up" or "being a bully is knocking someone's teeth out" but the actual definition of bully is "someone who often hurts people physically, mentally or socially." and its so frustrating. (edit: i didnt expect this many likes! thanks so much!)
Yeah, I've been constantly bullied and even told that what they do to me is bullying but every time they get confronted they say they aren't even bullying and that it's just fun to pick fun out of people
Sorry for being late for 2 years but, this actually Portraits Cyber bullying and what really makes them feel The film was talking about how a girl gets bullied for standing up for the orange hair dude you see, but got pushed back in a result of bullied back. The purple goo actually resembles depression,sadness and anxiety. Which resembles of which the following cyber bullying.
The sad thing is most adults say “Tell someone if your being bullied” but yet when you seek help they tell you it’s nothing. Yooo 3k likes tysm! Also to anyone who’s been bullied, hang in there. Being bullied sucks but it will get better!! (• ◡•)
Yes! Me and my siblings were getting bullied by this family of 3 kids whom I will not name because I respect their privacy. But they had asseblies at my school about bulling but when I went to tell someone about it they were like "Okay we'll do something" Nothing happened. One day I ended up flipping of the younger kid and his sister the next day turned around and looked at me on the bus to school and said "We looked at the cameras yesterday and we saw you flip off my brother 7 times. He was crying" It pissed me off beyond my point and everything in me broke. They called me a fat b*tch saying that I went to different things because I was fat. Like okay Im not the skinniest person here but you don't have to point that out. When I first met her, the sister, I thought we were friends but it was a very toxic relationship for me. She said she despised me and when I confronted her the next day about it she said "I may have said i didn't LIKE you but I never said despised." GIRL I FREAKING CRIED THE REST OF THE WAY HOME FROM WHAT YOU SAID!! Anyway, they (school administration) Never EVER helped us with this. I'm not saying there aren't people who will help you because there are lots of people out there who can help you!! You just need to find the right people who are willing to listen and help you, and if the person you're talking to won't listen then just leave and find someone you know will listen.

One of the most diabolical experiences I’ve had as a guy who got bullied for a handful of years was 1) refusing to retaliate on my enemies out of sincere compassion for them and 2) them making me feel like I’m a worse threat that either deserves to be bullied or doesn’t know what they’re doing. I took on a spiel of childhood trauma that I underestimated for nearly a decade, including some conflict in college and even in recent where I’m highly misunderstood for my situation. Sometimes I tried to reach out but I would be so blind and confused as to my idea of asking for help that I ended up hurting other peoples feelings as if I myself were taking advantage of them, again misunderstood.
I don’t have any regrets to this day concerning how lucky I am today, but amongst things like how depressed I was for years I have a few notions for those in my shoes no matter the age:
1) don’t be ashamed for having a slower paced life than others. I’m sure no one wants to be left behind, but you will cultivate way more healthily if you are accepting of where you are right now.
2) you do have time. You will be surprised how many open doors come to those who prepare for them, I’d imagine the people who typically don’t feel guilt from their day to day situations but can still feel empathy for others are the ones that deserve to unfold the opportunities.
3) let life show you the potential. I’ve always believed there was a reason i belonged on this earth no matter how deep in the hole I got or how pathetic I felt that I would never want to offer value if no one knew of my tragedy. No one should ever feel like they have to contribute something back at the expense of their own well being and connection.
Anyways I’m very grateful for the casual yet creative approach of this short film. Maybe the arts really are an outlet for emotional drive and context that’s not recognized well enough these days. Feel free to reach out to me for anything, I’m more patient beyond belief and still work on my self compassion every day! Much love whether you are safe, struggling or out of the flames but still hope for things to make sense the way they can, and will. Don’t be afraid, always try something positive you’ve been in thought of and don’t ever give up.
It sucks how this becomes very apparent once high school kicks in. Counseling didn't help, antidepressants didn't help, I was at that point where I just had to get the rest of the years over with just so I could get out of what I called a prison.

I was bullied throughout my school years. I have been bullied all the way from elementary school all the way up until my last year in high school. In total, 13 years of bullying. 10 of those I hated myself and the world around me. I felt like I didn't matter! The last 3 years of school(basically high school), I was done being the victim. I stood up to my high school bullies, and showed them, "You can try and break me, but I'm a freaking diamond!" Plus the fact that they used the exact same words as my elementary and middle school bullies used, like they followed a freaking script📑
I can't tell you how many times I was called stupid, ugly and weird. Nowadays, I use those words, but in a positive way. Stupid? I never claimed to be a genius. Ugly? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Weird? I AM WEIRD😜, and I wouldn't change it! I love being different!

“I don’t wanna sit there because... *like 5 second pause trying to make an excuse instead of just saying she hates me or whatever the real reason is* because the teachers right there”
The worst type of bullies are the ones that can recognize other's mistakes and faults but can't recognize their's. They'd watch a movie and when they see the bad guy they boo, they call them an asshole. But when they do the same thing and they get called out for it, they make excuses.
EXACTLY THIS
There was a girl who absolutely hated me because I was friends with her best friend too, she was one of those rich girls that invited the entire grade to parties, except people she didn't like. I was one of those people. This was all going on in primary, but near the end people started seeing how badly she treated other people and wouldn't put up with her for the benefits of being her friend, so she lost her friends and came crawling to me for help. For a while she couldn't understand why people left her, and I had to explain to her that she was a bully.
Sad twer.king
@@MonochromaticBananaBread God that's... pretty scary. How does one have the mindset of being so self-centered and not wondering if something is your fault if people see you as a bad friend

"This RAT is snitchin on us" oof.. that feels like something a teenager would actually say... it's heartbreaking honestly
I recently reported sexual harassment. It was a fairly popular kid who did it and since then me and my friend, who I reported it with have experienced this sort of thing but not as bad as in this film
we don't even snitch anymore in highschool. like we just don't care lol. but i remember back in kindergarten or first grade, there's always that one kid who would pretend to snitch on someone but they just ask the teacher if they could go to the bathroom. it's ridiculous and a great anxiety booster.

The worst thing is that bullies forget what they did. They'll never realise what how awful they were and they'll never apologise because in their eyes they were angels.
@@indiecrowarts in elementary school I wasn't a bully, but a couple of my friends were and I did nothing about it (I wouldn't laugh or sth, but I saw and did nothing). I never got to say sorry to the kids that were made fun of, and I'm not friends with the bullies anymore. It must have been so hard to you and difficult to see how little they cared about sth that made such huge impact on your life. I'm sorry for what you had to pass through, and you're very strong for being able to let go such thing. Now I'm in highschool and ofc I always speak up about bullying and try to help, but it's not like it covers how I neglected this type of thing as a kid. I hope you're doing well *hands you a flower*
That made me hate bullies, and if they dare to open their mouths against me or friends, now same sex couple or even to innocent unknown ppl i just turn so different
Like, i pass to emotionless towards bullies and all empathy dissapears,anger and vengeance,i don't feel pity,idc if they end bad or good,idc and if they have issues,idc if they later will regret or not. I just don't care ab anything when it's talking ab them.
Because the fact they can't understand they did wrong
I heard ab my old bullies nowadays life and they still harass, annoy, bully
If it's not to me
They do towards others
My ex was so annoying to me and said crap to me
Since i broke up with him, he now annoys other ppl with his words.
He doesn't care. If it's not me, will be another one.
If they victim is not X, will be Y.
They don't care ab anything, anyone or else.
They don't learn the lesson, think and change to be better persons
They just "care" for a while but then turns back to "normal" as always.
They need to bully,annoy, disrepect,discriminate
And it's so Fuckin' disgusting,they find AMUSEMENT in that.
I hate a lot of things but don't discriminate or bully bc of it! It's easier to be polite, respect and have a conversation,if the thing i hate is harmless and it's just a subjective disliking and not a trait that is actually harmful or annoying objectively.
Sh*t that they can't understand
I still remember their sadistic laughing faces/look on them when bullying me or others. The fact that was as a hierarchy
They were in the top
And you all down there in darkness
That if u dared to tace them,they would go against you
The fact there was nice ppl too but didn't hang out with you because fear of being bullied,or they were bullied as well.
The fact they control the place
How i told teachers,my mom tried everything,but shit kept going on, bullying never ended, bullying still happened,i was maybe even bullied on public or alone and teachers never moved a finger to help me neither did classmates
How they're supposed to be forgiven? How can ppl ask me to forgive,if they keep being not pure?
How can my bsf tell me to move on,when he didn't experienced half the shit i did? Even i told him everything and even the how they did things to me?
So i just stay away from them and not have any kind of relationship,bc for me,they are not humans. Neither animals. Would be disrespectful to compare animals to those things.
Lately i knew ab my friend(girl) being bullied because she couldn't attend her bf bc final college exams. His friends(21 or above,while she being only 18) harassed her. Insulted/disrepect her. Made comments bc of that,social media,in hanging outs.
Fake parties,ended in a crack hole and getting wasted,and she being scared.

Taking your life because of egotistic maniacs that are deep down mentally unstable (bullies) is a terrible way to go out. Like I wanna live to 85 and have a happy life.
High school is such a fish bowl, a lot of the time bullies won’t even realize what they’re really doing (or at the very least, the full extent of it) because they have these images of stereotypical shoving kids in lockers or “gimme your lunch money” scenarios when they think of bullying. Showing the role social media has in bullying is so crucial nowadays
Yes those stereotypes from movies, cartoons, and other media give off these perceptions or impressions of how bullying is and they're misguided by those bad examples. Even with Social Media bullying is getting worse but also getting more attention or awareness. Personally I feel like the parents are accountable for this to a certain degree by failing to supervise and discipline their kids/teens behavior teaching them from right and wrong.
Well that was bullying, but like our grandmother and grandfather’s days. Bullying has change.
I don't think it's that they don't realize that it's bullying. At least in my experience, it's just that these people don't care and they think your reactions (or lack there of) are funny.
I will say that I agree people don't see it as seriously if you're not getting physically abused and you're seen as 'sensitive' and whatever when these kids emotionally and/or mentally abuse you.
I don't think people recognize that bullying is just a nicer word for abuse.
Honestly I feel like the simple thing to do is actually block these people. Why do people care so much about what is being said online. I literally have people on my insta posts calling me ugly and putting obscene comments, I block them. The internet is such a wide place that you can block these people and your life will be do much freer.
@@HotCheetoGirl_ not always works that way. What would you do for example if photos and insults were spread all over the internet? To everyone you know, rather than in a DM
When I was a kid I had a lot of panic attacks because of bullying, one time I locked myself in the toilets to be alone and then I heard a girl come in and she was crying, doing the exact same thing as me. So I went outside the stall to check who it was and it was another girl from my class, we never really talked much but this time we talked to each over and we told each over everything and even though that was only one short conversation it has been the best one of my life.

There was this girl who always said at assemblies “I would stand up for them no one deserves to get bullied.” However she bullied my friend constantly and now my friend is going to therapy because of it

May your friend receive the support they need
Wow, what a hypocrite. So sorry that happened. Hope things get better for your friend and continue to get the help they need. Hope things are good on your end too.
I feel like I would be that girl. Not because I bully my friends, but because I have a dark humor that I'm still trying to control, yet it still counts as bully.
This would be my advice from personal experience: tell them to stop. If they say sorry and stop (maybe to the point they struggle to say hi), they just have acid humor. If they don't, they're assholes.
Yeah, I knew a girl like that too. It was back in middle school, she was quite literally the leader of my bullies, and during the "bullying bad" moments in class, she always pretended that she'd be that one hero who would be the one standing up to bullies, when she was one herself.

@@kazuoua Depends on the point of view I guess
@@Rollie-4DaPollie Right, for starters, victims of bullying usually don't get to have a "happy ending" as the epilogue of this short would make it seem. They either learn to tough it out or run away, somehow.
This is mainly for two reasons, the first one is that bullied people very soon become emotionally "damaged" and they are not great or fun people to be around. While from the outside they might look like the victims, they're seething with rage, pain and hormones so lashing out at the earliest chance is not uncommon. In the short it's kinda surprising how the overweight kid didn't develop romantic feelings for the girl almost right away, bullying develops a sort of Stockholm syndrome on the victims so any show of kindness or non-aggression to them can make their emotions go from 0 to 100 very quickly.
The second, related, reason is that people who don't like bullying, in general, normally prefer to stay away from the bullied. I imagine it's somewhat similar to the subconscious aversion you have for the sick. Maybe it's an evolutionary thing.
In my opinion, a more accurate depiction of bullying would show a more isolated, angry (not sad, ANGRY) and emotionally damaged victim with almost complete lack of social interaction. Sprinkle in some instances of Stockholm syndrome (like I mentioned before) and there you go. For the epilogue, you show the victim either having a complete mental collapse or learning to live with their trauma.
Yes it is❤

I started crying at that age and it still bought me into tears now. The old man despites me crying for no reason. He just hates me and my mom cry because he assume its something small or 'stupid.' He tells me to just laugh it off and some other stupid shit. He doesn't know that I've been picked on for my weight or becuase I had no friends and was the quiet kid.
I'm really glad this video showed it in a realistic light - sometime parents or guidance councilors don't understand, or can't fix the problem.

It’s so screwed that people will literally shun someone for being nice to someone else just because the majority doesn’t like someone
It's called jealously dear, they're jealous of people who what they or didn't even have.
It does suck.. I stopped talking to someone because my "friends" would get upset or mad at me if I did. I wish I talked to them now. I want to apologize but I'm not sure what to say, how to bring it up, when to say it, and chances are we won't even be in the same class anymore. It's going to be a new year of school pretty soon. The only way I would be able to talk to them is if we were in the same class. Because I'm a pathetic wimp who makes stupid decisions and is too stupid to fix their mistakes afterwords.
I'm glad there are people who have the bravery to talk to others and fix stuff though. :)

I remember reading a book that said something like: "when you see a kid, don't ask him how he/she is, ask him/her what they feel"
I think it makes more sense in spanish (the book was in spanish, i'm hispanic)
Parents are always talking about how kids have it easier; "everything's on your phones." Advancement doesn't equal happiness.
i agree, instead it can be the opposite, social media can be used as a escapism mecanism, and then lead to depression.
also the exposure we have on social media, internet is huge and it can cause tons of problems, such as getting information too early on the age rage.
i relate to that tho

I love the symbolism of the purple jelly. Like jelly, the hurtful words bullies say follow you around and cling to you until you can barely move.

I really liked the use of the purple goo as a representation of depression. I don't know about everyone else, but when I was bullied as a kid that's kind of what it felt like. Like I was weighed down by some unseen substance, and said substance making the words stick longer.
Hey, are you doing well? You seem, understandably, upset. I'm here to talk if you'd like. :)
@•*The Rainbow Closet*• Same with me at first, until I saw the paper hit him without anything on it and the bully recording the guy in the beginning and saw there was none on him then. Plagued internally and spreading outward. 😞
@@NevermoreMadGirl same
yeah its nice as symbolism but honestly thats not how it felt to me because everything was internal. nobody called me anything nobody hit me. they just kinda picked on me and they didnt play with me, nobody wanted to be my friend. they werent openly insulting they just didnt like me as much. to me it feels like dust and sand that just builds up inside and gets everywhere and you dont notice it you just feel it but you cant see it you cant see the piles just feel the tiny grains everywhere that amount to a great big nothing. nothing to report nothing to tell nothing there.
My daughter came home from school today and told me that this video was shown during her class announcements, and I am so very glad it was. And I'm so grateful she told me about it. This. Is. Amazing.
“Just ignore them.” is the worst advice a parent can give their child. My cousin was bullied in elementary school and her mom told her to just ignore her bully. The bully was still picking on my cousin and she was upset so she told my mom. My mom actually listened to her and had a long conversation with her about it. I think it really helped.
Totally agree with this, in elementary everyday in the morning there were announcements on the intercom that at the end said “if your ever being bullied remember to
1. Ignore it
2. Tell a teacher
3. Tell them how there actions make you feel”
This was drilled into our heads, and I just realized after reading your comment how shitty their advice was ‘just ignore it’ they make it sound so simple, it sounds like a good idea in hindsight, but can easily morph into bottling up your emotions, and brushing off how you feel. I remember I was bullied by these two girls in elementary, they’d criticise everything I did (one literally complained about the way I breathed), and would make a point to exclude me from anything. And I foolishly tried the ‘just ignore it’ route. One night I just couldn’t take it and told my mom everything. So my mom being a awesome person she scheduled a private appointment with my teacher so I could tell her Everything that was going on, at first I was upset she did this, because I thought it was a overkill to do that, so basically undermining myself, but my mom stuck strong and I ended up telling my teacher everything, she too was a awesome person who really cared about her students, so she had a sit down talk with both the girls, and the bullying ceased. so let that be a lesson to anyone still reading that you’d shouldn’t just ignore it, that you should always tell someone instead, just ignoring won’t make it stop, it’ll just let the bullies get away Scot-free and nothing will change
@@suz7970
Another thing is a lot of bullies don’t let you just ignore them. My cousin tried, but everywhere she turned her bully was right there, ready to pick a fight and blame it on my cousin.
Child: ~is being bullied and is obviously not ok~
Dad: "Well you kids are lucky nowadays! You can just block em!"
Idk why that didn't stand out to me the first time I watched this.
It's not like her blocking them online will prevent her from seeing them in real life. Her blocking them isn't going to stop them spreading the hate towards her online, which will affect how people act towards her in real life, even if she doesn't see it online.
It's like the gloop. Even if she doesn't get that gloop from the phone directly, she's bound to get it from other people, through other means. It wont protect her.
{btw, I'm glad your cousin found real support! I hope y'all are doing ok!}
If u ignore they keep up
@@kivrinsagchannel791
If you ignore they come back harder to make you react.
I am pretty sure why schools ignore bullying is probably they see the bullies are “just playing around” or “teasing”
Schools: They're just playing around, they're kids!
Kids: **cause mental and physical damage that'll be with you for the rest of your life**
Certainly11 Suspenseful22 exactly
Or they give them an excuse like “they’ve had a rough home life” to make them look misunderstood
Absolutely!!! If it were someone doing it to their spouse we would call it abuse and treat it as the incredibly traumatizing thing that it is... but with kids, it's just bullying.
Everyone including teachers were toxic at my old highschool and they both wanted to be close for some reason. The teachers would give anything to the bullies. Even other students personal information. It was messed up
The Dad's comment really hits hard. Saying things like "You're so lucky!" and "You can just block them" don't make you feel any better. You still know people are going to say stuff, you'll just be blissfully ignorant to what people are saying about you. It feels like they're just invalidating your feelings, and acting like your emotions aren't a big deal.
Feels like that but most of the time is that they don't understand it, one must understand that parents and older people grew up in a generation where interactions where more physical and even if they use tech, most of them don't really are as connected to it as younger people.
While the gossip can be horrible in social media, what the dad said is true, you can just block them. One of the problems with young people is that, for some reason that I can't understand, they keep going back to these post, they even search for them, giving them a even worse bad time.
Also there are lots of way of fighting againts bullying, maybe it's different nowadays, but when I was at school some where having a group of close friends or doing some favors to a diverse group of people (so you can have them help you in the future). Probably the two that are the most important and that have the biggest impact in a short time are: making them know you are not an easy target (usually some good fights in my case, they really like to go for weak people) or going to the correct autority.
The last one is really important, as most of people know school authorities are useless in general, soo a quick talk with a lawyer and a good lawsuit with a 100% warranty of prision time stops most of bullying.
I think it differs from people to people personally I don't really give a fuck about what people say I'll just make a short sharp reply and then just forget about it. Obviously I am upset but I would rather do something positive about it than keep listening to those draining voices. But I understand that social media influenced teenagers a lot so I don't blame them for going back to those hate comments
@@imranhaziq4956 I remember that some people used to say bad things about how I looked ( I was kinda fat back in school days) , my way to deal with things was kinda different, my self esteem was (and still) exceeds mortal limits, so I had plot armour and those usually ended with I as the champion.
But Yeah, if you ignore them or make a quick reply they will usually go away.
There will be people that will say "oh, but if I ignore them they hide my things or they hit me or they vandalize my things", well, for those cases 3/3 are crimes, so what I said stands true, a lawsuit makes bullies go away.
@@Blinix2 The thing is, it’s not as simple as just blocking them and moving in with your day. Oftentimes, bullies will create heaps of new accounts if they figure out you blocked them, and then keep sending you horrible things.
@@jewelsthecat5331 I feel like at only 30 I'm too young to be having this kind of "generation gap" moment, but I genuinely don't understand how if the harassment has escalated to that point why someone can't just get off social media and cut the bulk of the harassment out of their lives. I don't mean to sound condescending when I say that, I just genuinely don't get it. I understand the benefits to having social media, but surely at that point the damage it's causing overrides the benefits.
i can never understand bullies. like why bully? what is so wrong in your life that you have to take someone elses? As they said, what comes around, goes around. Bullies should fear what they have in their future if all they do is pick on people
as a person who almost became one, you just don’t know what you do in life and your just bored, you just can’t get fun out of anything anymore, it’s a last resort for people, some bullies got bullied in their childhood and chose to be one instead.

Notice how the other kids started avoiding her? The tactic of the people at the top is to keep their victims isolated, so that they have power over them, if the victim talks back then it’s just one person that they laugh down as a group, along with their stupid insults, they seem clever with alot of sheeple, and other people have to isolate them or else they become victims themselves. This is why it’s important for victims to stick together, and it brings a whole new meaning to the saying “they only have power over you if you give it to them” you don’t need to just ignore them, you need outright to rebel.

"Sorry, we can't control what people do on social media. We'll do our best to prevent it."
But they really can't do anything...
Then, the victim committed suicide and the authorities say "Oh my, I am sorry about it. We tried our best to help." Then, they punish the bully with a few years in jail. But, is their sorry sincere or an automatic response?
What do you want them to do about it though? Besides giving lectures about online safety and anti-bullying, they genuinely can’t. They don’t own it. As someone who was bullied, I hate the whole argument of “I hate that no one does anything about what goes on online.” Like, there genuinely isn’t anything they can do.
And that is the problem

(edit: i didnt expect this many likes! thanks so much!)
school also tried to twist it into being one person constantly. It's more often groups of people, and it's often super small too.

But they had asseblies at my school about bulling but when I went to tell someone about it they were like "Okay we'll do something" Nothing happened. One day I ended up flipping of the younger kid and his sister the next day turned around and looked at me on the bus to school and said "We looked at the cameras yesterday and we saw you flip off my brother 7 times. He was crying" It pissed me off beyond my point and everything in me broke. They called me a fat b*tch saying that I went to different things because I was fat. Like okay Im not the skinniest person here but you don't have to point that out. When I first met her, the sister, I thought we were friends but it was a very toxic relationship for me.
