Honestly, they portrayed it in the most realistic way possible. Unless the kid being bullied has a prominent family, the school and faculty won’t do a thing.
Seriously, the actor who played Rick needs so much more credit. Rick was in Degrassi for a short amt of time but within that time the actor put in so much depth. He did some terrible things but you still feel for him and what he went through.
iwantme1234 It didn’t happen on school grounds, they can’t do anything if it didn’t happen on school grounds. Also terry doesn’t go to the school anymore so they can’t do anything.
I wouldn’t be mean, i know people can change & i believe people should be given the chance to do so, I’d be his friend .. and i know we all have different opinions on this situation!
he really was..even.him.acting hard tough or like a bully for terrys sake towards rick for a few months felt off...its out of his character..hes meant to be a nice guy
Literally just happened to me a year ago at work. I put up with bullying for 2 years before I said something to our manager. When I did he responded by firing me.
Someone being publicly humiliated like that can be one of the worst things to see. Maybe if they just left Rick alone or if Rick didn't come back to Degrassi, this all could have been avoided
I firmly believe if Rick hadn't taunted Spinner, Alex, and Sean's bully friend then they probably would have let it go because Jimmy said they should I really wanted Rick to be the better man there but he only made it worse.
While I can't feel bad for Rick, I do understand his situation. His mental state was already seriously questionable and while Terri's friends were justified in hating him, they did go too far in bullying him. Degrassi portrayed this story in such a realistic manner from how the administration dealt with bullying, to the students bullying, to Rick's decreasing mental health. The storyline definitely has stayed with me since I was 9.
I know what rick did was extremely messed up but they tortured him and continuously belittled him only making his mental state worse. I’m not defending his actions whatsoever but their actions definitely need a few explanations.
I honestly believe Rick should've looked at other schools. Everyone at Degrassi knew what he had done. I just can't see most people wanting to go back to a school where the friends of the person you hurt go.
cause like when jt got stabbed he was the favorite of the fans the most honest good guy of his grade so seeing him get shot hit the hardest...we wanted him to overcome it when he got back which I'm sorry for anyone else I would not care as much for so there you go
On one hand I feel bad for Rick because no one deserves to be bullied, but there are actions that should've been taken to prevent all of this. Never has abused Terri and just went to a different school.
Carrie got bullied because people thought she was weird Rick got bullied because he hit Terri and then put her in a coma....and honestly people were coming around like Emma Toby and even Jimmy. He got cocky and started pushing Spinner and Jay's buttons...had he not done that he probably would of been good and the bullying would of stopped.
It's so hard to watch Rick start to feel accepted and then watch them all break him so deeply. I really feel like his complete social ineptness is out of his control and not meant to be malicious... Idk... These episodes are the worst.
Ricks parents should have gotten him some serious help. Probably should have gotten him into therapy at a young age. The school should never have let Rick come back to Degrassi. Or they should at least have had an open conversation about it beforehand and offered counselling to all the students affected. The principal should have taken Ricks complaint about being bullied seriously. The students should not have bullied Rick (although I understand why they did). So much could have been done differently. But in the end, Rick decided to bring a gun to school. There is no excuse for that.
GÄBBŸ it definitely was..I.was screaming like it was my birthday or something because seeing degrassi reunited after all of these years the original cast is awesome !
The guy who looks like Art Bell? Yeah, I never liked Raditch. Does not share any concern for the students, just the school. But like Karmen Jackson said, he gets fired soon, so hopefully the guilt of not preventing this shooting eats at him for the rest of his life.
it's amazing how emotional this show made people feel and still makes people feel to this day. I'm 20 now and I still rewatch with the very same emotions as the first time I watched it. That goes to show you how impactful and deep Degrassi was. Truly ahead of it's time
Uh, they don't like him because he's a psychopath, Emma. Has everyone forgotten what he did to Terri? Also, the others bullying a kid who has rage issues, not a good idea, either. 'This is all for you' YOU ARE A CREEP, BACK OFF!
I love when Jimmy gets in Alex's face and says give it a rest its boring. Idk why I just do. Also I had to show this episode to my sister so she could understand the I'm Upset video and she was like OMG
Still till this day I would recommend kids to watch this. It’s talks about bullying. Being a parent at a early age. Like people can learn a lot from this show
I can't believe Rick was ever able to come back and that this deluded mother didn't even punish him for beating a girl. The school failed but so did the justice system.
I mean I understand why they bullied rick so much because of something serious that happened to their friend, I mean I thought rick should have not went back to Degrassi, I mean he put Terri in a coma what did rick think was gonna happen? that everyone would welcome him back with open arms?......but on the other hand.....Rick was being constantly push and pushed and pushed and the paint and feathers thing really pushed him to his limit, and unfortunately because of that it led to serious consequences
If I were him I probably would have killed myself by now so in my opinion he is keeping it together well for right now Edit: ok just finished the episode never mind he is not keeping it together well
Tragically ironic that the ppl who were trying to be Rick's friends were the ones he targeted in the end.
The whole school faculty sucked at handling the situation. The saw a student getting bullied every day and he even went to you and they did NOTHING
Living In NaNa Land.. That’s reality most schools do nothing
Living In NaNa Land that's how most schools are
They even let him walk home in paint and feathers
Ikr..
Honestly, they portrayed it in the most realistic way possible. Unless the kid being bullied has a prominent family, the school and faculty won’t do a thing.
"JiMmY aNd ThEm DoN't LiKe U cUz ThEy DoN't KnOw U" um no emma I think it was the part where he put their friend in a coma.
Seriously, the actor who played Rick needs so much more credit. Rick was in Degrassi for a short amt of time but within that time the actor put in so much depth. He did some terrible things but you still feel for him and what he went through.
That is a terrible principal
ryan vill IKR no wonder most of them are so defensive
Mr simpson hands down best principle degrassi has had
it's crazy how this storyline is still relevant all these years later 😔
Right!?
Because it’s important and I live in the USA trust me these kinds of things still happen you probably know this just thought I should let you know
Preach sister Preach
I'm upset
@Mia Alvarez many school shootings occur without any bullying as a factor, in fact most don't.
You can't trust someone that addresses his mom and dad by Mother & Father
There’s a girl at my work that does that. She was homeschooled though, so she didn’t have a traditional high school experience.
💯 😂
for real
'Mommy & Daddy' is worse, especially if they're in their mid-teens / adult. At least 'Mother and Father' is a bit more formal and mature sounding.
Lol
spinners haircut is the most emo thing ever
jaz kasteler extremely
Fr
jaz kasteler IKR honestly
And I am here for it!
But it was so in back then...
Rick did put Terry in a coma. I don't get why they let him back in the school
iwantme1234 Yeah he should have been expelled but I am assuming his Mum spun some bs about him being an outcast or how it was an accident.
he died the next episode tho
iwantme1234 IKR seriously
GracieEllie x IKR I don't get it ever
iwantme1234 It didn’t happen on school grounds, they can’t do anything if it didn’t happen on school grounds. Also terry doesn’t go to the school anymore so they can’t do anything.
This boy expects everyone to be nice to him after he almost killed one of there closest friend.
I wouldn't be mean to Rick, but I also wouldn't be nice to him. If that makes sense. hah
Cris Tee I would just not talk to him. Just say nothing. He hurt Terri but man you can tell that's its dangerous to go too far, jeez
I’d wave or say hi to make him feel better at least. Sometimes saying hi or a smile can make a big difference in someone’s life.
Agreed. Ignore him.
I wouldn’t be mean, i know people can change & i believe people should be given the chance to do so, I’d be his friend .. and i know we all have different opinions on this situation!
@@alexiskimberly I'll be laughing if he puts you in a coma.
Jimmy Brooks was just a really, really good, genuine guy. One of the best characters in Degrassi history, hands down.
he really was..even.him.acting hard tough or like a bully for terrys sake towards rick for a few months felt off...its out of his character..hes meant to be a nice guy
Terry Bunn exactly just look at how he treated Marco
He's probably my favorite character
It’s because he’s drake
"I thought you loved me" Um Rick what would make you think that?
Iesha Washington RIGHT😂 he’s so fcking weird
RIGHT did you see the way she snatched her hand back on stage lol
I don’t remember her flirting with him either😂it was the other way around
He's mentally unstable.
i can’t focus on anything but spinner’s soccer mom haircut
Was anyone else really grossed out when rick started hitting on emma
He doesn't get social clues. He practically assaulted her.
But what made me mad the most in this episode was the principals response after Rick tried to say he was bring bullied/harassed smh.
Autrela Prime that happens a lot, sadly.
Yup!!!
Yeah "tell me if anything serious happens."
Literally just happened to me a year ago at work. I put up with bullying for 2 years before I said something to our manager. When I did he responded by firing me.
Degrassi should not have allowed Rick to return. He has the right to education/counselling but he should’ve at least gone to juvie then another school
But if no one presses charges against Rick they can't send him to juvie and degrassi is public school they can't stop him from re-enrolling :/
Why does Heather Sinclair always get mentioned, but we never see her????
ASHleyXO12 it’s a running gag/joke on the show that we always hear about her but never actually seen her
And then the big bang theory copied it
@@RheRheSmily how?
@@abby5227 howards mun
@@RheRheSmily ohh
I'm so confused as to why Emma forgave Rick so easily when literally 2 episodes ago she was mean to him
Someone being publicly humiliated like that can be one of the worst things to see. Maybe if they just left Rick alone or if Rick didn't come back to Degrassi, this all could have been avoided
I firmly believe if Rick hadn't taunted Spinner, Alex, and Sean's bully friend then they probably would have let it go because Jimmy said they should
I really wanted Rick to be the better man there but he only made it worse.
If Rick didn't put Terri into a coma then none of this would have happened. Sadly it all comes back to Rick being mentally unstable :/
Still as they say, you can't change the past
CobraGamerKing Gaming Sean's bully friend?? Dude his name is Jay and he was a major character on the show
Sade Hawk he tried to get help tho
While I can't feel bad for Rick, I do understand his situation. His mental state was already seriously questionable and while Terri's friends were justified in hating him, they did go too far in bullying him. Degrassi portrayed this story in such a realistic manner from how the administration dealt with bullying, to the students bullying, to Rick's decreasing mental health.

when mr. raditch said a’GAIN’ i felt that
I know what rick did was extremely messed up but they tortured him and continuously belittled him only making his mental state worse. I’m not defending his actions whatsoever but their actions definitely need a few explanations.
yeah like no one really did the right thing in the situation
Agreed.
I honestly believe Rick should've looked at other schools. Everyone at Degrassi knew what he had done. I just can't see most people wanting to go back to a school where the friends of the person you hurt go.
I still remember watching this episode when it first aired, and you could hear my neighbor screaming all the way from her house when jimmy got shot!
omg really? That's crazy!
Lmao aw!
cause like when jt got stabbed he was the favorite of the fans the most honest good guy of his grade so seeing him get shot hit the hardest...we wanted him to overcome it when he got back which I'm sorry for anyone else I would not care as much for so there you go
Can we just talk about how Alex never got any consequences for what she did to rick...
summer martin no one snitched on her
Just watched Drakes “I’m upset” video & now I’m here 😭
me too lol
same lol
Same
Mirra D I remember watching this as a kid
Mirra D bruh same
"Come back if anything serious happens." Famous last words
On one hand I feel bad for Rick because no one deserves to be bullied, but there are actions that should've been taken to prevent all of this. Never has abused Terri and just went to a different school.
This is a show lmao. Chill out
Living In NaNa Land he did. He transferred out after Terri went into the hospital.. but for whatever reason he came back
Joey’s storyline in this episode is so boring and irrelevant.
Harrison Mitchell I FAST FORWARD ALL HIS STORYLINES FR. I’m happy someone else gets it omg
Same
I'm on a binge watching Degrassi from Season 1. I'M NOT READY FOR THIS EPISODE
Same😭😭
AsheBro I’m never ready for this episode
I just realized how similar Rick and Carrie storyline is. Both bullied and then ruined by the bullying and then end up hurting someone and dying
Fandom girl who is Carrie???
Isabela : D a stephen king book about a girl with telekinesis who kills almost everyone at her prom because they bullied tf out of her
Carrie didn't hurt nobody though she just was freaked out about her period.
Carrie got bullied because people thought she was weird Rick got bullied because he hit Terri and then put her in a coma....and honestly people were coming around like Emma Toby and even Jimmy. He got cocky and started pushing Spinner and Jay's buttons...had he not done that he probably would of been good and the bullying would of stopped.
I don't remember Carrie died either.
One of the saddest episodes of this story ever on Degrassi. Thank you for uploading!
There were sadder imo
Big T. Larrity “ one of “ key word. Learn to read.
It's so hard to watch Rick start to feel accepted and then watch them all break him so deeply.
I really feel like his complete social ineptness is out of his control and not meant to be malicious... Idk... These episodes are the worst.
I hated spinners hair this season he looked like a mom with that hair cut
JJ Brown IKR give me a break on that
Spinner wants to speak to the manager
Why spinner was lookin like a strong independent woman lol
Rick took shots at Drake before Pusha did Rick the real OG
Willam O'Brien true
If you know you know
immmm deceased
True tho
Willam O'Brien YOOOO
Ricks parents should have gotten him some serious help. Probably should have gotten him into therapy at a young age.
The school should never have let Rick come back to Degrassi. Or they should at least have had an open conversation about it beforehand and offered counselling to all the students affected.
The principal should have taken Ricks complaint about being bullied seriously.
The students should not have bullied Rick (although I understand why they did).
So much could have been done differently.
But in the end, Rick decided to bring a gun to school. There is no excuse for that.
“Joey you’d sell this house for beads” LMFAOOO bruh I’m done
Joey's storyline is so irelevant lmao
Who came here after watching I’m upset
Jimmy boys running after rick was something iconic
GÄBBŸ it definitely was..I.was screaming like it was my birthday or something because seeing degrassi reunited after all of these years the original cast is awesome !
The only thing that would have made that video better would be having Drake in a wheel chair
YES!! my favorite part of the video
GÄBBŸ losers
Jazlyn Rios 😒😒😒
That school is absolutely terrible
Looks By Naheemah yeah until that one woman took his place and spinner got suspended in that one episode
In the high school I went to Jimmy and Spinner would not be best friends. They have an interesting mix of characters on the show.
Britta Barnes it's also canada so
Alex Ramos so?
Different culture
Toronto is a super diverse city. Their friendship isn't uncommon at all.
That's what makes this show so great
OMG,when Joey said he didn't want to find Tessa Campineli at his door
Hadii 121 I LAUGHED AT THAT ABAHAHHA
Rick was down with Wakanda forever 😭😩😩😭😭😭
I'm so proud of Drake for bring back the cast in his new music video
Ashley Edwards the 12 year old in me was screaming!!
Ashley Edwards He forgot J.T,Jay and Sean
@@torichantalxxo lml omg rite I was so hype lol
Ryan Cooley thought he was being tricked and didn't show up. I think he did forget about Mike and Daniel though :/
rootbeerlovesme Ryan thought he was being tricked? Where did you hear that
Total Carrie vibes....and they both snapped
★ Froggie Animation ★ a girl who was bullied,then snapped just watch the movie Carrie.
All the way. And if you haven't seem Carrie, you're really missing a classic.
If you watch "Carrie", watch the 1976 original with Sissy Spacek before the 2013 "Carrie" with Chloë Grace Moretz.
Rick should have transferred schools
Why no one is talking about this Principal? He's totally creepy.
wildestxdreams x how?
wildestxdreams x He’s really rude. I think I forgot that from when I initially saw this.
It’s ok. He gets fired soon.
Rick tried telling him and he just brushed Rick away
The guy who looks like Art Bell? Yeah, I never liked Raditch. Does not share any concern for the students, just the school. But like Karmen Jackson said, he gets fired soon, so hopefully the guilt of not preventing this shooting eats at him for the rest of his life.
This episode is still very true to today. Its scary
Just when I thought Spinner’s hair couldn’t get any worse...
He Rick gone act like everybody hates him for no reason? Smh
Makes legit complaint, gets ignored, gets bullied more, shoots up school. 🤔 maybe end this cycle.
Sean- “iM tELlinG rADitcH” 😂😂 I died
Wow, the breakup did bad things to spinner
rainbowgangster that’s the haircut you get when you getting your life together 😂
I seriously wished they would’ve wrote Jimmy walking again before his character was finished 😪🤧
He was working towards it.
The Tessa campanelli line lol
Anneke Avery maybe then he’d find out about the kid
Raddich lowkey didnt like Rick
This show really did lowkey give a kinda decent set up for any situations to expect to in high school
it's amazing how emotional this show made people feel and still makes people feel to this day. I'm 20 now and I still rewatch with the very same emotions as the first time I watched it. That goes to show you how impactful and deep Degrassi was. Truly ahead of it's time
No one cares about Joeys boring storyline lmao
9:31 Wakanda forvever
he got the right over left and everything
Jaylyn Clarke I was thinking the same thing
Ikr😂
lol this should be part of my UA-cam video about Degrassi 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Am I the only one that thought it was mustard they dumped on Rick, just for a second 😂😂
no, it look a lot like mustard to me, lol.
Uh, they don't like him because he's a psychopath, Emma.
Has everyone forgotten what he did to Terri?
Also, the others bullying a kid who has rage issues, not a good idea, either.
'This is all for you' YOU ARE A CREEP, BACK OFF!
psychopaths are incapable of feeling remorse, which Rick clearly felt, so psychopathy is not of rick traits.
I love when Jimmy gets in Alex's face and says give it a rest its boring. Idk why I just do. Also I had to show this episode to my sister so she could understand the I'm Upset video and she was like OMG
Rick’s problems stem from having the same haircut as his mom 👀
Still till this day I would recommend kids to watch this. It’s talks about bullying. Being a parent at a early age. Like people can learn a lot from this show
Rick saidddd “WAKANDA FOREVER” 🤣🤣
I think everybody should've watched Carrie and seen how it ended...😶🙄😊😂😂
The way rick "kissed" emma.....
I'M UPSET!
Where is Terri? I never noticed that they still cared about her enough to harass Rick and she wasnt there?
it became about bullying rather than revenge..they saw how much of a freak rick was and they made him pay for it
Craig really should have stayed home.
Mr.Ratidge did nothing at all and did not care 😒
So the principal just allows bullying?
so THESE are the infamous episodes i only heard about
I can't believe Rick was ever able to come back and that this deluded mother didn't even punish him for beating a girl. The school failed but so did the justice system.
Who's here after watching Drake's "I'm upset" video lol reliving my teen years
Viva La Kai lol I'm juss here kuz I use to watch this show as a kidd
Pedro De Pakas TV 😜✊🏽
Viva La Kai same here. Did not know that these episodes were on here. :)
Viva La Kai uuuu feel me 😎
Michelle Johnson I did... funny thing was i was watching a couple days before he dropped the video. I wanted that reunion so bad lol
This episode had me w so many conflicting emotions. You hated Rick, but you felt bad too smh
Spinner traded one bad hairstyle for another one. Good Lord!
I like how this got uploaded after the Pusha T diss came out.
one of the most ICONIC episodes of all time
I think it is their MOST iconic.
This episode still gives me chills 😭😭
I mean I understand why they bullied rick so much because of something serious that happened to their friend, I mean I thought rick should have not went back to Degrassi, I mean he put Terri in a coma what did rick think was gonna happen? that everyone would welcome him back with open arms?......but on the other hand.....Rick was being constantly push and pushed and pushed and the paint and feathers thing really pushed him to his limit, and unfortunately because of that it led to serious consequences
Omg. The way they say again, against, and sorry lol!! I had no idea that's how Canadians say it. I just noticed now, used to see this before
LMFAOOOO SPINNERS HAIR
Hahah remember that degrassi mini when Holly j was possessed by Rick and reincited the trivia scene
michaelcarca6 yes
no??
This was called "The Curse of Degrassi". Its on you tube if you would like to watch.
Why was Holly J always being visited by ghosts in the Degrassi mini's? Lol
rick is secretly metro and he didnt trust jimmy so he shot him
LOVING EMMAS HAIR
I’m mad now because they just uploaded this in hd and I had to watch it when it wasn’t in hd 😩
I will never forget watching this episode when it first aired. The ending was so shocking to me.
OKAY so just because rick is hanging out with a BLACK GUY he can do the WAKANDA FOREVER arm cross 🙅🏿♂️
He meant he spray painted the black *x* on Spinner and Jay's car.
It was more of a self righteous taunting move.
This was atleast 10 years before that movie came out and it was to mark the people he was going to shoot. Jeez.
ericamerica89 learn what a joke is. Jeez
The way the principal says “again “ lmao
LMAOO Joey mentioned Tessa Campanelli
Is nobody gonna mention how there are a billion ads in this 20 minutes video? Geez...
When Rick isn't in a relationship with someone he is actually pretty likeable. I feel bad for the guy.
If I were him I probably would have killed myself by now so in my opinion he is keeping it together well for right now
Edit: ok just finished the episode never mind he is not keeping it together well
"The people that deserves love the least, are the people who need it the most."
is it me or do 12th grade kids way younger than this these days, its like every year they look younger and younger
I always have to mentally prepare myself for these next episode😩
totally random but watching Emma and Jimmy hug melted my head🤗😘❤
I wonder whose idea it was to give skinner this haircut? Was it Shane's or the showrunners?
BCRunch I watched a commentary of this episode and it was for the show. He actually hated that haircut lol.
Dude his name is Spinner
StaceFubar actually the actors real name is Shane kippel and he got the hair cut for his role of Gavin spinner mason
Dorothy She meant that OP called him skinner and not Spinner lol.
I watched that commentary. I don't know where to find it again.
