this should shown in schools and not the cringy stuff no one ever relates to edit: pls stop replying to this comment its from 2 years ago, I’m saying that this video is realistic in portraying teenagers
I really liked how the person that helped her was another man. It shows how even if you meet an inappropriately behaving man/woman, it doesn't mean that everyone is like this, and there actually are people that care. Overall this video is amazing
Always go to a person w a professional license. If possible, take someone w you who can verify that you did so. Professionals who fail to report your abuse to legal authorities will be stripped of their professional licenses and have to fight to get them back.
In real life, if you go to a man for help about these things, they're more likely to take the male abuser's side than yours. Be safe and either go to a woman or a licenced professional.
"I believe you" is one of the most important things you can say to a survivor when they tell you they've been abused. I wish someone had told me those words.
@VirtuallyABoy Everything you said in the very beginning made sense so far until you said abuse can be your fault. Two wrongs do NOT make a right and if you're being abused you should try to seek help or leave the situation, it's understandable to lash out in return but that doesn't make it the other person's fault, you still decided to hurt them back and that was on you. Victim blaming is a big enough problem. People defending abusers will try to find the silliest reasons for defending the abuser and justifying their actions. It's not even their fault for ending up with an abusive person. People can seem really nice on the outside and only show their true colours later, and by that time you're more likely to think you can just put up with it. Abusers are very good at manipulating their victims into staying around them or being drawn to them in the first place. Also I think it's quite contradictory you can say "abuse can be your fault" and "childhood abuse is not a justification." In both cases, abuser being abusive comes down to their choices, behaviours and actions. How, then, can you justify one but not the other? You seem to hold a really strong victim blaming mindset what with trying to fault the victim for both being abused AND being around the "wrong" people. Even if you are the mastermind of seeing through manipulation yourself, the vast majority of people aren't. Abuse comes from people closest to you much of the time. You shouldn't be THIS concerned with trying to pin guilt on the victim or figuring out if they are a liar, this is the problem! This is the reason people don't believe us, if they have a mindset to be skeptical first and offer help later. I was "blamed" for my assault by many for "giving mixed signals" due to me being so friendly with this guy, platonically, but explicitly making it clear countless timed that I was uninterested and uncomfortable with his advances. It's not my fault that I'm kind to people, and it's not my fault someone who was supposed to be a friend violated my trust and comfort. It took so long to have the courage to come out and tell people what happened to be, and being BLAMED and not believed after gathering up the strength to try to get help was the very breaking point that made the situation as traumatic as it was to me. You may think you're trying to "be fair" by trying to see "both sides of the coin" but really what you will accomplish is further traumatizing and stressing person who needs the help and support.
I love that her trusted adult was a male teacher. Breaking down the stereotypes that all men shouldn’t be trusted with that kind of thing. I’m not personally a victim of abuse, but my love goes to each and everyone in the comments. I wish you all the best.
It's not exactly a stereotype, men in general, according to statistics, are more likely to be predators and you _shouldnt_ trust a man unless they _prove_ themselves to be trustable.
Iv'e been through sexual abuse before, and seeing the way she was and how strong she was to confront the coach was amazing. Let this be a lesson taught for those who are still suffering to get help. Its never your fault.
This happened to me. Nobody believed me though. Not my friends, not even my own brother. The woman who did it is still out there, living her life, working with children, having a child of her own. And I'm just stuck here with all the memories and trauma of what she did to me. She gets to live her life. She gets to be happy. She gets to forget I ever existed, and I'm stuck here, fighting for my life every day because of her. Thinking about what she did to me. Every. Fucking. Day. Update: Thank you all so much for your replies, they mean a lot. I recently worked up the courage to talk to my therapist about what happened. As a mandated reporter she was required to alert child welfare services and both my parents. An investigation is underway right now, and hopefully the woman will never hurt anyone like she hurt me ever again.
I'm so sorry, I know how you feel. I had an older guy do this to me, I was like in 3rd grade he was a 6th grader, he touched my (You know what) while I was walking in front of him. He threatened me not to tell anyone, and I still have horrible memories now. Your not alone, @Project Hope Sandwich
I'm so So sorry that happened to you, I hope you can find healing and continue to grow despite adversity!! You are an Amazing, Strong person, and I am So proud of you!! Wishing you all the Best!!!
@@ReniTube It's not that easy. I have no concrete evidence. My family can't afford a lawyer, nor can they handle the stress of a lawsuit. I don't think even I could handle it. I want to forget she exists, forget what she did, forget everything. I can't do it to my family and I don't think I can do it to myself.
Damn, y’all really stepped your game up with this one. I like that the next day, she wears baggier clothes that cover up her whole body. That’s very realistic. Also that there’s a male teacher who’s shown to be fatherly and genuinely looks out for her, because not all older male figures are horrible predators, there are good men out there. I’ll be keeping an eye out for future MCU shorts.
I agree with not All men are pigs but it a little clinic when something like that happen the age role and gender are as shown but would it hurt for it to be the other way around
@@Edible_Kittens what does it mean? I assume you mean 4chan by the forum, what does it stand for though? don't have any guesses and internet wont give me shit
I like how realistic these characters are (unlike the cheesy videos schools show you) and how educational they can be.The animation is also amazing as usual,keep up the great work guys.I hope you continue with more of these animations and that you guys get more recognition. Edit:also enjoy the music in these animations they’re pretty awesome! Edit 2:thanks for the 1k likes
I think the visuals really just slaps the idea of loneliness from the closing door to the visual metaphor of space although the main idea is about sexual abuse it can be applied to a lot of themes such as depression, anxiety, wrongfulness, etc. Seriously a film everyone in one way or another relate to.
We needed these videos back then. No one took the "bad touch" videos seriously. These are perfect executions that any and all ages can take something from. Thank you so much. If you are going through this you are not alone. There are people and hotlines out there who can help. Stay safe, trust yourself.
The symbolism in these videos is so clever like in "are you ok?" The purple liquid symbolised toxicity and anxiety and in this the suit is used to show how she is struggling to reach out its simply amazing writing
I just have such a strong appreciation for the fact that the teacher didn’t touch her in his listening to and comforting her. He understands the boundary and the fact that it would probably make her feel unsafe. Absolutely beautiful film, thank you.
He was invalidating that she just did. It felt useless as she didn't and I think it played a big part in the story, the "Is anybody out there?" is her reaching out two times and not felt seen
I love the astronaut metaphor. A lot of people will instinctively start to disconnect themselves from reality in order to deal with trauma, and if left unchecked, it becomes a habit; you learn to play dead to the world whenever it attacks you. Great video, God bless you all!
I am a sexual abuse survivor. I love the space suit metaphor because I remember how isolating it was to be locked into that place of silence and fear. Telling someone is scary, but when you do, you'll get your life back. Keep telling until someone believes you.
At the age of 6 to 16, I was sexually abused. And, I am fighting with Major Depressive Disorder. It took years to back in asusal life. But, when I see such kind of incidents happening with others, my soul just shakes in fear, regret, disgust, and anger. Why such kind of monsters still in this world?
* hugs , I get that, I’ve been harassed and sexually assaulted my whole life, and it’s a lot of pain. My dad and I, we both have quite a good few problems, art of living cleared his anxiety and helps my PTSD, it might help you too. Best of luck to you
I don’t have trauma regarding SA, but I would be dead lying if I said I didn’t feel scared out of my mind whenever coach appeared in scene. took me some strength to continue the video
@@someartistontheinternetnam816 The moment where he paused before saying "I don't know what you're talking about" literally made my heart pound. I've never experienced sexual harassment or SA, but he was still terrifying.
Even though its a still in a credits its nice to see the abuser get punishment. Like he was such a sleeze ball by trying to keep her from quiet or make her feel bad when she asked him to stop touching her. He knows what he is doing is wrong but in cases like this the abuser tend to not care unless they get in trouble for it.
Exactly. What made me think is it wasn't exactly sexual assault (the video shows her being touched one time and tbh if she had been touched before we would see her feel uneasy next to him and not get close to him like in the first scene. So it was the first time.) But the texting, the gifts, the treating her differently made her uncomfortable so this is an ongoing abuse. It's harder to feel safe when you know it didn't just happen once, but keeps going. You feel trapped, with no hope, scared to return there. You don't know if it's ever going to stop if you can't remember anymore how it happened. Her reaction is totally reasonable.
A child is never at fault for what terrible people do to them child abuse is real and it hurts anyone it's good that the little girl got justice for what that nasty guy did to her and it's always wise for parents to talk to there children about who should touch u and who shouldn't by this way it will make it easier on the child to talk to anyone about what they go through especially there parents once they are willing to listen
@@immaculateconceptionstudio5290 I agree my mom told me those same words I remember years ago a guy display himself indecently in front of me and I told my mom about boy was she mad she almost killed him and we even called the police the guy that did that is dead now but after that incident she left the job and got a new one so it's always important to train children in the right way to be safe
This video was so touching. I love the young girl’s fantasy of going into space, it is the great escape from reality because of the abuse. Even though the incident was very hurtful she thought she could escape by floating up in space but I love the way the teacher caught her tow rope and pulled her back in. Very, very moving. I pray that all of the teachers, administrator’s and counselors watch this and also watch out for signs of abuse.
And also, perhaps ‘space’ being the symbol for dissociation! Completely going dark from her surroundings and, well, dissociating herself from it. Yaknow?
I don’t like commenting but I just really want to communicate to this team how much you mean to me. This is so educational and well made, and there is no video you’ve made that haven’t made me cried. Every time I feel alone about what happened to me, I come here, and I feel like someone actually listens to me and understands that it wasn’t my fault, that I was scared, that it actually happened. Thank you for making this project, there is so much people who appreaciate all the work you’ve done.
We need schools to show *these* types of videos, not the bad, old not helpful videos they show us that no one wants to watch. This is really good and helpful! 💛
One bad touch is all it takes to tip the dominoes. I was groomed by a trusted adult, and when they touched me, I thought it was normal. But then things got worse, and now I live everyday, wanting to say something, but my voice is lost within the darkness, so this video really touched me.
I am SO GLAD we have these kinds of people who actually show abuse realisticly and not in a stupid and in a wrong way. These kinds of videos help spread awareness of the potential danger many kids and even adults face. And I'm glad they do it for ALL genders. Not just females. Since many people think that only females get sexually or badly abused. When in reality EVERYONE could possibly be abused. No matter what gender, race or whatever. Fight Child Abuse... Thank you for doing an incredible job for teaching people about this kind of stuff that we NEED to take actual seriously.
This is incredible. It's such a realistic portrayal of abuse and the emotions and difficulties of getting help. I got especially emotional when he said "You're safe." I wish I had someone to tell me that as a kid.
when he said "it's ok it's not your fault" I started to cry because when my parents found out about the guy that groomed me online my parents said it was all my fault I go into so much trouble and got all my stuff taken away didn't even seek me help and keep telling me it was my fault
I'm so sorry. They should have done better by you. When I told someone a teacher had touched me they accused me of lying. They were more concerned about the teacher's reputation than my safety. It sucked.
Honestly, both those people at that school and those so called parents sound like ignorant, abusive hypocrites!! Family and those who actually care about you should've helped you both, but they all see fit to disgrace and demean you after the trauma you went through. Forgive me for saying this but, "THEY CAN ALL GET STUFFED!!!!"😢😡🤬😢😡🤬.
Going through emotional, sexual, and physical abuse growing up, i can feel how heart wrenching and isolated that girl is. When I came out about a single ounce to the only other guardian I have, they blamed me for not telling sooner and I winded up losing trust in everyone except my younger siblings. The family I had would never do anything about the bullying we’ve faced, because they enjoyed it or were too weak to help out. Now I try my best to help them and others, no one deserves this
You are so so strong... And honestly, them blaming you just exposes who they truly are. I also was sexually abused when I was 10 by someone I considered my uncle, a couple days before my 11th birthday. And the isolation, the sheer panic and pain of being that alone, I'd wish on absolutely no one. It literally feels like your mouth is sewn shut. I know I'm just a stranger with a silly pseudonym of a name over the internet, but I'm here if you ever wanna talk.
@{𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝒾𝓁𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝑀𝑜𝑜𝓃} isn't that what makes it interesting though? If anything that's a good thing. The more attention it gets the better in any way, honestly I only clicked on it because I was interested in how they'd conveyed the message. And they done a damn good job at it.
The use of metaphors this channel uses and puts into animation is just amazing. The previous one about cyberbullying, 'Are You OK?' now this?! A masterpiece~!
this is so sad, never forget that God is here for us too. He helps give us courage for things like these and we can pray for people who seem to be consumed in their flesh. we are all wicked in heart but Christ helps us become more like Him every day when we abide in Him. God is comfort, God is safety, God is freedom.
That 'I believe you' was so powerful wow! I haven't been moved to tears by a piece of film in I don't know maybe 5 years wow, that's unbelievable I love this.
It’s great to see another video from this channel, The deep emotions that this girl is just, no pun intended, breathtaking. The emotions that a victim goes through like this is really realistic. And once again it never hurts to speak up to people who hurt you. We live in a crazy world, but there are people out there who exist to help you. I just always know that these kinds of things is never ever you’re fault
Actually, in a lot of cases, it's more likely to hurt. Especially if they're doing it consciously. If someone accidentally hurts you, then talking to them can be good. But even in this case, he used the opportunity to gaslight her, to make her think she was crazy for ever feeling like something was wrong. That's hurting her right there. That's shutting her down, making her think she can't tell anyone, because she's probably reading into it too much. She's probably making a big deal out of nothing. And, worse yet, that even if she does tell someone, who does believe her, that nothing can happen because they'll trust his word over hers. If it wasn't for the teacher reaching past the barrier and bringing her back down to earth, she probably would never have reached out, and largely because she tried talking to the coach and he gaslit her. And to add to that, he also could have used the opportunity to threaten her, or to do something worse. He could have shut the door and literally hurt her, or even more extremes. And if they were outside the school, he probably would have tried something. He could have more deliberately said no one will believe you, said you're crazy, anything. There are even people who'll kill their victims if they see signs of resistance like that. I don't think he, specifically, is that kind, but you can't always tell. TL;DR: Yes, speaking up to the abuser CAN actually hurt you, in any number of ways. It's better to find someone you feel safe with, and have them come with you, at the very least.
watching these makes me want to tell someone but i cant for some reason . my mom has been touching ever when i was 4 . im still scared to reach out and its hard, but watching these makes me want to because of how there problom was fixed and they felt safe.
@@azarath5688 teachers are mandated reporters. They'll tell CPS anyways. CPS isn't always the "terrible" organization it's made out to be, and it can actually be a valuable resource sometimes. Of course, that's not to say it doesnt have its shortcomings
Maybe one day we can live in a world, where kids can be kids, and we don't have to deal with this kinda thing. I hope this video raises awareness and that kids get he help they need, if anyone reading this is going through that, someone, somewhere will believe you. Keep your head up.
This one feels different than the other vudeos, they all feel different! That's what I really like about these videos! They always teach you something new
I love what this channel stands for, and these short films are good to watch! I pray that anybody who has gone through something like this, that they find this channel resourceful.
Oh my gosh I was shedding tears by the end of it. It portrays dissociation so accurately with the space analogy. I was sexually assaulted in high school and I remember how my psychiatrist was the first person I told about the incident that believed me and didn't blame me. Seeing her teacher do that for her brought back so many feelings 😭
This is so powerful! Mari is so strong. It's so very sad that she had to go through that horrible experience at all though. I literally cheered when that coach got arrested. I like to see that the teacher was so caring towards Mari (he was her lifeline in this situation!) and trusted her immediately.
I am in tears. My great uncle touched me AND my older sister when we were just small kids. Idk about my younger sister but I wouldn’t doubt it. I was around 8-10 and that just from what I can remember. I’m 14 now she is 16. and We are so scared to tell anyone. I’m afraid if I do I will ruin everything, and cause drama in my family. Idk what to do. My dad saw him messaging my shoulders at family dinner, and he asked me about it. I wanted to spill my guts right then and there. But I couldn’t bring myself to do it.
I’m so sorry you are going through this kind of abuse I’m not that great with this but you should tell them and have your sister tell them too. Your dad seems to really care about you. Your uncle can’t get away with the pain he’s bring upon you. It’s not your fault your strong I hope you and your sister get through this and your uncle get punished for what he’s done to you. Who cares if there’s dispute I know your scared but you have people there for you. I’m sorry if this doesn’t help but I want to do my best for you.
I am so sorry for anyone going through this. May God bless you all and give you strength. “Come to Me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you strength” Matthew 11:28
I was 3 when something like this first happened to me, 7 the second time, and 9 the third time. I love your videos, they are extremely educational on this topic and I’ve been showing them to my nieces and nephews so it can hopefully help prevent them from experiencing something like that, or at least be able to tell, unlike me. 16 years old and it’s still a big secret from my family, only a few friends know. I want to tell my mom but I’m terrified, I don’t want to see her cry. I hope you guys keep making videos like this, they really help.
When I saw her float away from his teacher, I didn't understand it, but I started to cry. I went through a different kind of abuse, but still sexual nontheless. I would like to talk about it, but venting on a comment section is a little bit too much, right? Even so, whoever you are, you're not alone! You'll get through it and heal soon, and I hope the best for you!
i feel like her floating away could be a sign of social withdrawal? maybe even dissociation in that moment, as traumatic events can have you dissociating
This was so beautifully made. It made me so emotional watching this. I’m sorry for anyone who has gone through this 💔 Please know there will always be someone
@@GokuMcDuck I’m sorry 😕You are more than that principal. If you need advice showing people you are experiencing abuse you can record it in your phone to show evidence. I really hope things get better for you
@@Unknownuser-mw8td That Is the problem. I have evidence, but they say It does not count as It was taken with no consent. No lawyer wants to represent me.
I love how this channel helps children understand what abuse is and how they can seek help. However, I would love there to be an animation where there's an individual that doesn't have support on their side. Most people who are going through abuse don't necessarily have support and I would love to see that interpretation shown for kids that don't have help and see what they can do and where they can go to find that help.
These are so well written and animated, they are very thoughtful when they put out these shorts showcasing the effects of abuse. This is honestly a more palatable way to show abuse to children and to show them how they should get help if they happen to need it(or help a friend who they know is in trouble).
i loved how the animations showed her as an astronaut in space who's losing connection and control it exactly feels like that specially in my dreams,i feel exactly like that,everything just happens around me,nothing is in my control, slowly & painfully, I just have to... float in that, that dark space.
They need to show these at school instead of the cheesy “speak up 🥺🥺” videos. These show the REAL effects of SA and it could possibly make people take things like this more seriously.
I have not been... abused, necessarily. However, this video really did speak to me. At times, I feel alone, like no one can here me, and eventually? I feel as if my tether has become detached. I'm floating, alone. I'm screaming, shouting, crying out, desperate for someone to notice me, acknowledge my existence. But there's no sound in space. No one can hear me.
Something similar happened to me but at the time it was quite inescapable so I had to act extremely rude and terrible so the person would stop. Nobody took my signs and nobody listened to me when I cried for help. This video really helped me feel seen and heard for my experiences. I cried so hard at the last part, I wish someone had listened to me. Nobody deserves to go through this and nobody deserves to be Ignored in these situations. Anyone who has gone through similar stay strong❤️ I
i'm not ashamed to admit i cried. i know how this feels. it's so hard to tell people what happened, especially when you feel like it's your fault if the person who hurt you gets in trouble. i have nightmares almost every night about what's happened and i'm working through it with a therapist. i'm proud of myself for telling someone. i don't deserve to hurt like this, no one does.
The good teacher looks like my really nice science teacher, I'll always remember him. It's really horrible and unfortunate that people have the stupid of mindset of thinking they're able to get away with what they're doing. I really appreciate this video even though I've had no major experiences :]
My college professors told me that I looked like I was going to “drop dead” at any moment. I knew I was depressed but I didn’t realize anyone noticed. Once I heard that, I was just appalled. Like why didn’t they do anything about it? I’ve been depressed over 20 years now and no one has ever cared. ( Except I will say this year I finally found a good doctor with God’s help.) I’m still trying to fight my way into therapy. I’m only 33.
CHILD THIS GYM TEACHER IS SO CREEPY EW I feel so bad for people that go through this. Please if there's someone out there facing this stay strong for me. You're doing amazing coping with this! Love y'all!
I went through somthing like this twice the first time i was really young I told my mom she said why were you there? As if it was my fault… I was disappointed by her answer felt like I couldn’t even talk to my parents about anything after that. The secound time it happened when I was a little older it was a close family friend.. At this point I just held my tongue until they moved never told a soul personally just felt like nobody would believe me or do anything about it or want to deal with the problem.. all my life i just learned to sweap things under the rug keep quiet don’t say anything cause if you do you’ll cause a bigger scene than what anybody wants to deal with. Never went to therapy I don’t believe in it.. I’ve just learned to numb it over time……
Omg this made me cry, there’s tears streaming down my face rn. I’m a SA victim too, but the person was my then-nanny (it’s common where I live to have a live-in nanny, and both my parents worked, so…). I was 9-11 years old, it happened over the span of two years, and oh my god that I don’t believe in because this happens all the time, the relief I felt when I finally told my mom… it was the best. She’s gone now, but I have to struggle with the aftermath. It’s been three years, and only now is my body image improving, but that’s about it. I don’t go to therapy and she got away with nothing more than a firm talking-to from my mom and losing her job. Nobody knows, nobody checks in with me and I’m so lonely and existing hurts and some days I wish that things weren’t like this- wow I went full-on vent mode lol sorry. Anyway thanks internet strangers for reading, hope your life’s better than mine :)
i physically felt like i had trouble breathing that entire time mari was in that suit. this video is truly impactful, and i'm glad this channel exists. reminder for anyone who is going through this kind of situation that you're not alone. (no one is probably gonna read this, but i love you all)
I know how this hits hard . I've been sexually abused 3 times as a kid and early teens and those things tormented me for years . but thanks to that I've become an adult who helps kids in the school to not suffer the same fate . always giving them advice especially about the abusive adults on internet out there . this is a great animation to make other ppl to open their eyes about this kind of crimes
This hit deep man. As someone who has dealt with child abuse this hit on an emotional level. I hope that every one out there who deals with this has an amazing rest of their live and doesn’t end up like me where I never got help and was left to fend for myself. I hope y’all have an amazing day, ya’here?
I was abused by one of my "friends" for a while, not sexually or anything but they would bring me down and hit me and played it off as a joke. No one ever believes me or takes me seriously when I say this, but someone saying "I believe you" would mean the world to me. If anyone is going through this right now, you're not alone and I believe you.
@@averageminecraftenjoyer9419 nah, it's not, she constantly hit me and called me ugly and just overall ruined my self esteem tbh. She faked tourettes in order to call me names and hit me. I don't have to deal with it anymore luckily.
even though the men that hurt me never actually got to *touch* me, things like this still feel incredibly relatable. Such an experience is always incredibly isolating.
I had to hold back tears while watching this. It is so amazing that you guys are educating more and more people about stuff like this every day. Thank you.
I was heavily bullied at my last school and i feel like no one is out there, so thankyou SO MUCH for putting this out there, it really touches my heart
I wanna share my abuse story so I'm doing that rn, anyways let's get on with the story! My name is Ollie I am a Pangender person and this is my story. It all started when I was 1 when my bio dad left and we moved in with my stepdad, things were at first going pretty well but when I was 5 that's when the abuse started, my step dad started heavily drinking and he would hit me and my older brother, he would walk around at night giving my brother paranoia and he did other things, he locked me in a room when I was 7 because of a coin flip, I cried for hours on end but I eventually passed out from crying so hard, the next thing I remember is him coming to get me out of the room. Then he would walk around naked and he wouldn't care who saw him naked. He would take our stuff for him being able to hear us and then he would hit us to all hell, and then he wouldn't feed me and my brother or the dogs while my mom was out at work so me and my brother had to get food ourselves, and then he would be mad at us for eating food while he was in the living room. He once banned us from coming into the living room the full day knowing that it would starve us. Finally when I was 10 we moved out in I think late or Early July or June, my mom divorced him and we are now living with my new stepdad, and me and my bro still have to carry the mental effect it caused on us will never go away and it has made me scared of trusting people now and I am scared that people will abuse me the same way. It's been years now since that all happened and we heard he moved to another Country and he will never be apart of our lives ever again. Sorry if this was too long I am very sorry but I just wanted to get my story out there to talk about it because I haven't talked about it much and I wanna talk to someone about it but I am scared they'll push me away and I just don't know who I should talk to it about.
Hi, I may not know you but you are a very brave person. I love how courageous you are for telling your story, it's a hard one to do and I understand. Telling someone, or seeking help is a pressure, but I hope you do someday. Even if he's already away, I know he still haunts you and I sympathize. Hope you are okay and healthy! and I know you are a very beautiful person. You are loved, and you deserve to seek your justice.
I'm glad you and your family were able to get away from that horrible person! You and your brother didn't deserve that no child at any age should ever have to go through that!! But I just wanna say... I'm proud of you. You've gone through a lot but you still continue to hold on every day! I wish you the best in life loads of love to you and your family :)
Hi Ollie, I am so sorry this has happened to you. It is not your fault, but nonetheless you are so brave for sharing and for enduring what you went through. I wish you all the best and a life filled with love and happiness! God bless 💖 “Come to Me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest”- Jesus Matthew 11:28
@@frenchfrykittypawz i agree, this grooming process is still going on, its hard to leave, but we can get through this together :) i hope youre doing all fine
I just recently heard that 2 girls from my class in high school got pregnant by the same teacher. It makes you rethink everything they have done and their motives. From a kind teacher that was willing to talk to his students that needed someone to talk to, to a predator that used his position of power to exploit those that had the least support in their lives. Schools should run these things as part of the first year preparation.
honestly it took me when i finally went back to my faith as a child to tell my life story from birth til now honestly looking back i see how strong i really am i had amazing people my step dad my mom alex jesse dont forget hot cocoa probverbs loving master sensie he was my favorite and no nonsense nana those was the days honestly now looking back i see i need to find that spark of courage and be with the man i married for its not just the right thing and adult thing its who wants me in his life
The meaning of the floating out to space in this video: She has no one to help, and she’s in space floating in the middle of nowhere all scared and alone. Asking if anyone is at least out there. How I think the meaning of the floating out to space in this video is: Floating to a silent and peaceful place. No drama, nothing for you to worry about and just admiring the Galaxy around you. My daydreams are always staring into the black void of distant space. I know it wouldn’t work realistically, but imagine just floating into space. Seeing the beautiful Galaxy and escaping all your problems. You don’t overthink and just relax. You are at peace and you find the beauty in the environment around you.
tbh, i wish more teachers were like this, he asked her how she was, and what was going on when she showed signs of being uncofortable with what the coach did, now at my school, only a few teachers care about/ do that, they just ignore it as someone who has been emotionally and physically abused by my parents before, none of the teachers noticed even after i showed signs of it, then i finally had the confidence to tell someone, i love how this shows how you can speak-out for yourself and reacher out for help and support when needed
That boy went straight to gaslighting. He ain't even flinch. Straight up said "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Oh
Always go to a person w a professional license. If possible, take someone w you who can verify that you did so.
Professionals who fail to report your abuse to legal authorities will be stripped of their professional licenses and have to fight to get them back.
In real life, if you go to a man for help about these things, they're more likely to take the male abuser's side than yours.
Be safe and either go to a woman or a licenced professional.
there will always be someone who will disagree with this true statement because 'ew men'
and that's sad..
@@PichuElric =( I know for a fact that almost all men that aren't perverts themselves really hate abusers...
"I believe you" is one of the most important things you can say to a survivor when they tell you they've been abused. I wish someone had told me those words.
Me too, and "it's not your fault"
Someone who doesn't belived you was at fault not you I hope you are fine ❤
@@poppy-spades it never was your fault
It's not your fault
@VirtuallyABoy Everything you said in the very beginning made sense so far until you said abuse can be your fault. Two wrongs do NOT make a right and if you're being abused you should try to seek help or leave the situation, it's understandable to lash out in return but that doesn't make it the other person's fault, you still decided to hurt them back and that was on you.
Victim blaming is a big enough problem. People defending abusers will try to find the silliest reasons for defending the abuser and justifying their actions. It's not even their fault for ending up with an abusive person. People can seem really nice on the outside and only show their true colours later, and by that time you're more likely to think you can just put up with it. Abusers are very good at manipulating their victims into staying around them or being drawn to them in the first place.
Also I think it's quite contradictory you can say "abuse can be your fault" and "childhood abuse is not a justification." In both cases, abuser being abusive comes down to their choices, behaviours and actions. How, then, can you justify one but not the other?
You seem to hold a really strong victim blaming mindset what with trying to fault the victim for both being abused AND being around the "wrong" people. Even if you are the mastermind of seeing through manipulation yourself, the vast majority of people aren't. Abuse comes from people closest to you much of the time. You shouldn't be THIS concerned with trying to pin guilt on the victim or figuring out if they are a liar, this is the problem! This is the reason people don't believe us, if they have a mindset to be skeptical first and offer help later.
I was "blamed" for my assault by many for "giving mixed signals" due to me being so friendly with this guy, platonically, but explicitly making it clear countless timed that I was uninterested and uncomfortable with his advances. It's not my fault that I'm kind to people, and it's not my fault someone who was supposed to be a friend violated my trust and comfort. It took so long to have the courage to come out and tell people what happened to be, and being BLAMED and not believed after gathering up the strength to try to get help was the very breaking point that made the situation as traumatic as it was to me. You may think you're trying to "be fair" by trying to see "both sides of the coin" but really what you will accomplish is further traumatizing and stressing person who needs the help and support.
I love that her trusted adult was a male teacher. Breaking down the stereotypes that all men shouldn’t be trusted with that kind of thing. I’m not personally a victim of abuse, but my love goes to each and everyone in the comments. I wish you all the best.
I know, and also should know that not all women can be loving people, sometimes they can be worse then men.
@@laurendaley2503 yup exactly, that’s why i love this video so much
It's not exactly a stereotype, men in general, according to statistics, are more likely to be predators and you _shouldnt_ trust a man unless they _prove_ themselves to be trustable.
@@PichuElric you shouldn’t trust anyone until they prove themselves to be trustable tbh

This happened to me. Nobody believed me though. Not my friends, not even my own brother. The woman who did it is still out there, living her life, working with children, having a child of her own. And I'm just stuck here with all the memories and trauma of what she did to me. She gets to live her life. She gets to be happy. She gets to forget I ever existed, and I'm stuck here, fighting for my life every day because of her. Thinking about what she did to me. Every. Fucking. Day.
Update: Thank you all so much for your replies, they mean a lot. I recently worked up the courage to talk to my therapist about what happened. As a mandated reporter she was required to alert child welfare services and both my parents. An investigation is underway right now, and hopefully the woman will never hurt anyone like she hurt me ever again.
I'm so sorry, I know how you feel. I had an older guy do this to me, I was like in 3rd grade he was a 6th grader, he touched my (You know what) while I was walking in front of him. He threatened me not to tell anyone, and I still have horrible memories now. Your not alone, @Project Hope Sandwich

i watched these vids in school
Well at least the school made an *attempt.*
I think the visuals really just slaps the idea of loneliness from the closing door to the visual metaphor of space although the main idea is about sexual abuse it can be applied to a lot of themes such as depression, anxiety, wrongfulness, etc. Seriously a film everyone in one way or another relate to.
O laughed during one of them because the way they portrayed emotions was so unrealitic
We needed these videos back then. No one took the "bad touch" videos seriously. These are perfect executions that any and all ages can take something from. Thank you so much.

@arianna i am so sorry that happened to you

He was invalidating that she just did. It felt useless as she didn't and I think it played a big part in the story, the "Is anybody out there?" is her reaching out two times and not felt seen

I hate Sexual harassment.
dear I hope you're doing okay.. Best luck for the future !
i felt genuine anxiety and panic whenever the coach was on screen, you guys are excellent at what you do.
I knew from the beginning he was gonna be the predator the minute I saw him show up.
I don’t have trauma regarding SA, but I would be dead lying if I said I didn’t feel scared out of my mind whenever coach appeared in scene. took me some strength to continue the video
@@someartistontheinternetnam816 The moment where he paused before saying "I don't know what you're talking about" literally made my heart pound. I've never experienced sexual harassment or SA, but he was still terrifying.
Even though its a still in a credits its nice to see the abuser get punishment. Like he was such a sleeze ball by trying to keep her from quiet or make her feel bad when she asked him to stop touching her. He knows what he is doing is wrong but in cases like this the abuser tend to not care unless they get in trouble for it.
Exactly. What made me think is it wasn't exactly sexual assault (the video shows her being touched one time and tbh if she had been touched before we would see her feel uneasy next to him and not get close to him like in the first scene. So it was the first time.) But the texting, the gifts, the treating her differently made her uncomfortable so this is an ongoing abuse. It's harder to feel safe when you know it didn't just happen once, but keeps going. You feel trapped, with no hope, scared to return there.
You don't know if it's ever going to stop if you can't remember anymore how it happened.
Her reaction is totally reasonable.

@@sharoniquesara6782 yeah

Its the Same for adults ...its Always the fault of the abuser
This video was so touching. I love the young girl’s fantasy of going into space, it is the great escape from reality because of the abuse. Even though the incident was very hurtful she thought she could escape by floating up in space but I love the way the teacher caught her tow rope and pulled her back in. Very, very moving. I pray that all of the teachers, administrator’s and counselors watch this and also watch out for signs of abuse.
And also, perhaps ‘space’ being the symbol for dissociation! Completely going dark from her surroundings and, well, dissociating herself from it. Yaknow?
I don’t like commenting but I just really want to communicate to this team how much you mean to me. This is so educational and well made, and there is no video you’ve made that haven’t made me cried. Every time I feel alone about what happened to me, I come here, and I feel like someone actually listens to me and understands that it wasn’t my fault, that I was scared, that it actually happened. Thank you for making this project, there is so much people who appreaciate all the work you’ve done.

One bad touch is all it takes to tip the dominoes. I was groomed by a trusted adult, and when they touched me, I thought it was normal. But then things got worse, and now I live everyday, wanting to say something, but my voice is lost within the darkness, so this video really touched me.
I can't help you, but I really hope that life will get better for you, and that you will be happy one day
I am SO GLAD we have these kinds of people who actually show abuse realisticly and not in a stupid and in a wrong way. These kinds of videos help spread awareness of the potential danger many kids and even adults face. And I'm glad they do it for ALL genders. Not just females. Since many people think that only females get sexually or badly abused. When in reality EVERYONE could possibly be abused. No matter what gender, race or whatever.
Fight Child Abuse... Thank you for doing an incredible job for teaching people about this kind of stuff that we NEED to take actual seriously.
This is incredible. It's such a realistic portrayal of abuse and the emotions and difficulties of getting help. I got especially emotional when he said "You're safe." I wish I had someone to tell me that as a kid.
when he said "it's ok it's not your fault" I started to cry because when my parents found out about the guy that groomed me online my parents said it was all my fault I go into so much trouble and got all my stuff taken away didn't even seek me help and keep telling me it was my fault
I'm so sorry. They should have done better by you.
When I told someone a teacher had touched me they accused me of lying. They were more concerned about the teacher's reputation than my safety. It sucked.
Honestly, both those people at that school and those so called parents sound like ignorant, abusive hypocrites!! Family and those who actually care about you should've helped you both, but they all see fit to disgrace and demean you after the trauma you went through. Forgive me for saying this but, "THEY CAN ALL GET STUFFED!!!!"😢😡🤬😢😡🤬.
@@novaava that sucks im so sorry
Yeah, it's your fault.
@@gircakes It's her fault. Assuming this happened in the early 2010's, online monitoring wasn't really a thing.
Going through emotional, sexual, and physical abuse growing up, i can feel how heart wrenching and isolated that girl is. When I came out about a single ounce to the only other guardian I have, they blamed me for not telling sooner and I winded up losing trust in everyone except my younger siblings. The family I had would never do anything about the bullying we’ve faced, because they enjoyed it or were too weak to help out. Now I try my best to help them and others, no one deserves this
You are so so strong... And honestly, them blaming you just exposes who they truly are.
I also was sexually abused when I was 10 by someone I considered my uncle, a couple days before my 11th birthday. And the isolation, the sheer panic and pain of being that alone, I'd wish on absolutely no one. It literally feels like your mouth is sewn shut.
I know I'm just a stranger with a silly pseudonym of a name over the internet, but I'm here if you ever wanna talk.

The use of metaphors this channel uses and puts into animation is just amazing. The previous one about cyberbullying, 'Are You OK?' now this?! A masterpiece~!
This short got me in tears.. 😢 Absolutely powerful, beautifully animated and sadly relatable. This channel gives me hope ❤
this is so sad, never forget that God is here for us too.

So true. In the name of Jesus amen
That 'I believe you' was so powerful wow! I haven't been moved to tears by a piece of film in I don't know maybe 5 years wow, that's unbelievable I love this.
It’s great to see another video from this channel, The deep emotions that this girl is just, no pun intended, breathtaking. The emotions that a victim goes through like this is really realistic. And once again it never hurts to speak up to people who hurt you. We live in a crazy world, but there are people out there who exist to help you. I just always know that these kinds of things is never ever you’re fault
Actually, in a lot of cases, it's more likely to hurt. Especially if they're doing it consciously. If someone accidentally hurts you, then talking to them can be good. But even in this case, he used the opportunity to gaslight her, to make her think she was crazy for ever feeling like something was wrong. That's hurting her right there. That's shutting her down, making her think she can't tell anyone, because she's probably reading into it too much. She's probably making a big deal out of nothing. And, worse yet, that even if she does tell someone, who does believe her, that nothing can happen because they'll trust his word over hers. If it wasn't for the teacher reaching past the barrier and bringing her back down to earth, she probably would never have reached out, and largely because she tried talking to the coach and he gaslit her.
And to add to that, he also could have used the opportunity to threaten her, or to do something worse. He could have shut the door and literally hurt her, or even more extremes. And if they were outside the school, he probably would have tried something. He could have more deliberately said no one will believe you, said you're crazy, anything. There are even people who'll kill their victims if they see signs of resistance like that. I don't think he, specifically, is that kind, but you can't always tell.
TL;DR: Yes, speaking up to the abuser CAN actually hurt you, in any number of ways. It's better to find someone you feel safe with, and have them come with you, at the very least.
watching these makes me want to tell someone but i cant for some reason . my mom has been touching ever when i was 4 . im still scared to reach out and its hard, but watching these makes me want to because of how there problom was fixed and they felt safe.
Your mom are you sure.. man it's your mom for sure she was doing this out of love for you Don't take this as harassment
You definitely should. Even if it's CPS, a therapist, or a teacher, there will always be someone who will believe you and support you
Tell a close friend or close teacher, cps never helps
@@azarath5688 teachers are mandated reporters. They'll tell CPS anyways. CPS isn't always the "terrible" organization it's made out to be, and it can actually be a valuable resource sometimes. Of course, that's not to say it doesnt have its shortcomings

Maybe one day we can live in a world, where kids can be kids, and we don't have to deal with this kinda thing. I hope this video raises awareness and that kids get he help they need, if anyone reading this is going through that, someone, somewhere will believe you. Keep your head up.

Oh my gosh I was shedding tears by the end of it. It portrays dissociation so accurately with the space analogy. I was sexually assaulted in high school and I remember how my psychiatrist was the first person I told about the incident that believed me and didn't blame me. Seeing her teacher do that for her brought back so many feelings 😭
Short stories like these need to be considered for an academy award, their message is so powerful!!
This is so powerful! Mari is so strong. It's so very sad that she had to go through that horrible experience at all though. I literally cheered when that coach got arrested. I like to see that the teacher was so caring towards Mari (he was her lifeline in this situation!) and trusted her immediately.
I love how there are always adults like the teacher in the video who you can reach out to. I have a teacher who’s like that. ❤❤❤❤
I am in tears. My great uncle touched me AND my older sister when we were just small kids. Idk about my younger sister but I wouldn’t doubt it. I was around 8-10 and that just from what I can remember. I’m 14 now she is 16. and We are so scared to tell anyone. I’m afraid if I do I will ruin everything, and cause drama in my family. Idk what to do. My dad saw him messaging my shoulders at family dinner, and he asked me about it. I wanted to spill my guts right then and there. But I couldn’t bring myself to do it.
I’m so sorry you are going through this kind of abuse I’m not that great with this but you should tell them and have your sister tell them too. Your dad seems to really care about you. Your uncle can’t get away with the pain he’s bring upon you. It’s not your fault your strong I hope you and your sister get through this and your uncle get punished for what he’s done to you.

I love your videos, they are extremely educational on this topic and I’ve been showing them to my nieces and nephews so it can hopefully help prevent them from experiencing something like that, or at least be able to tell, unlike me.
16 years old and it’s still a big secret from my family, only a few friends know. I want to tell my mom but I’m terrified, I don’t want to see her cry.
I hope you guys keep making videos like this, they really help.
i can really relate to the feeling of being lost in space with no one to help you
When I saw her float away from his teacher, I didn't understand it, but I started to cry. I went through a different kind of abuse, but still sexual nontheless. I would like to talk about it, but venting on a comment section is a little bit too much, right?
Even so, whoever you are, you're not alone! You'll get through it and heal soon, and I hope the best for you!
VENT come on let it out. If it makes you feel better then do it(Just now I am realizing how dangerous that could be)
i feel like her floating away could be a sign of social withdrawal? maybe even dissociation in that moment, as traumatic events can have you dissociating
You are not alone
As someone who went through this, this film is heartbreaking to me. I love it very much though
This just shows there's people out there to help. If you're going through something, please talk to a trusted adult, they're there to help.

Most people who are going through abuse don't necessarily have support and I would love to see that interpretation shown for kids that don't have help and see what they can do and where they can go to find that help.
These are so well written and animated, they are very thoughtful when they put out these shorts showcasing the effects of abuse. This is honestly a more palatable way to show abuse to children and to show them how they should get help if they happen to need it(or help a friend who they know is in trouble).
The quality of these are getting out of hand, very stunning
The way the coach gaslit her makes my blood boil.
I'm genuinely surprised at how good the writing is, and how smooth the animation is.
This video is great, it shows an actual problem that often isn't talked about and honestly I love the art
So beautiful. I cried. Thank you.
i loved how the animations showed her as an astronaut in space who's losing connection and control
it exactly feels like that
specially in my dreams,i feel exactly like that,everything just happens around me,nothing is in my control,
slowly & painfully, I just have to... float in that, that dark space.
They need to show these at school instead of the cheesy “speak up 🥺🥺” videos. These show the REAL effects of SA and it could possibly make people take things like this more seriously.
I have not been... abused, necessarily. However, this video really did speak to me. At times, I feel alone, like no one can here me, and eventually? I feel as if my tether has become detached. I'm floating, alone.
I'm screaming, shouting, crying out, desperate for someone to notice me, acknowledge my existence. But there's no sound in space.
No one can hear me.
Hope you’re feeling better ❤
Something similar happened to me but at the time it was quite inescapable so I had to act extremely rude and terrible so the person would stop. Nobody took my signs and nobody listened to me when I cried for help. This video really helped me feel seen and heard for my experiences. I cried so hard at the last part, I wish someone had listened to me. Nobody deserves to go through this and nobody deserves to be Ignored in these situations.
Anyone who has gone through similar stay strong❤️
I
i'm not ashamed to admit i cried. i know how this feels. it's so hard to tell people what happened, especially when you feel like it's your fault if the person who hurt you gets in trouble. i have nightmares almost every night about what's happened and i'm working through it with a therapist. i'm proud of myself for telling someone. i don't deserve to hurt like this, no one does.
The good teacher looks like my really nice science teacher, I'll always remember him. It's really horrible and unfortunate that people have the stupid of mindset of thinking they're able to get away with what they're doing. I really appreciate this video even though I've had no major experiences :]
This channel use to kind of make cheesy videos but to show the progress they made, this was good.
My college professors told me that I looked like I was going to “drop dead” at any moment. I knew I was depressed but I didn’t realize anyone noticed. Once I heard that, I was just appalled. Like why didn’t they do anything about it? I’ve been depressed over 20 years now and no one has ever cared. ( Except I will say this year I finally found a good doctor with God’s help.) I’m still trying to fight my way into therapy. I’m only 33.
im confused did him telling u to drop dead make u depressed or were u already depressed anyway sounds like a skill issue
@SPAWNER kinda rude don’t you think?
the quality of these animations astound me. it's nice seeing PSAs that aren't haphazardly thrown together and that people actually care about
CHILD THIS GYM TEACHER IS SO CREEPY EW
I feel so bad for people that go through this. Please if there's someone out there facing this stay strong for me. You're doing amazing coping with this!
Love y'all!
Aww I feel sorry for them
@@scarletweb2106 doesn’t sound very convincing 😕
The metaphores are absolutely amazing and the other teacher pulling her in is an amazing metaphore for someone helping and believing you
I went through somthing like this twice the first time i was really young I told my mom she said why were you there? As if it was my fault… I was disappointed by her answer felt like I couldn’t even talk to my parents about anything after that. The secound time it happened when I was a little older it was a close family friend.. At this point I just held my tongue until they moved never told a soul personally just felt like nobody would believe me or do anything about it or want to deal with the problem.. all my life i just learned to sweap things under the rug keep quiet don’t say anything cause if you do you’ll cause a bigger scene than what anybody wants to deal with. Never went to therapy I don’t believe in it.. I’ve just learned to numb it over time……
I was like this, I was 9 and I didn’t want to get anyone in trouble. But yet.. it was the best decision for me to tell someone
Omg this made me cry, there’s tears streaming down my face rn. I’m a SA victim too, but the person was my then-nanny (it’s common where I live to have a live-in nanny, and both my parents worked, so…). I was 9-11 years old, it happened over the span of two years, and oh my god that I don’t believe in because this happens all the time, the relief I felt when I finally told my mom… it was the best. She’s gone now, but I have to struggle with the aftermath. It’s been three years, and only now is my body image improving, but that’s about it. I don’t go to therapy and she got away with nothing more than a firm talking-to from my mom and losing her job. Nobody knows, nobody checks in with me and I’m so lonely and existing hurts and some days I wish that things weren’t like this- wow I went full-on vent mode lol sorry. Anyway thanks internet strangers for reading, hope your life’s better than mine :)
i physically felt like i had trouble breathing that entire time mari was in that suit. this video is truly impactful, and i'm glad this channel exists. reminder for anyone who is going through this kind of situation that you're not alone. (no one is probably gonna read this, but i love you all)
I know how this hits hard . I've been sexually abused 3 times as a kid and early teens and those things tormented me for years . but thanks to that I've become an adult who helps kids in the school to not suffer the same fate . always giving them advice especially about the abusive adults on internet out there . this is a great animation to make other ppl to open their eyes about this kind of crimes
I know how you feel
This hit deep man. As someone who has dealt with child abuse this hit on an emotional level. I hope that every one out there who deals with this has an amazing rest of their live and doesn’t end up like me where I never got help and was left to fend for myself. I hope y’all have an amazing day, ya’here?
I’m sorry you were abused I hope your doing better now
I was abused by one of my "friends" for a while, not sexually or anything but they would bring me down and hit me and played it off as a joke. No one ever believes me or takes me seriously when I say this, but someone saying "I believe you" would mean the world to me.
If anyone is going through this right now, you're not alone and I believe you.
I think its only rough play,me and my friends do it all the time
But if youre uncomfortable about it,let him know
@@averageminecraftenjoyer9419 nah, it's not, she constantly hit me and called me ugly and just overall ruined my self esteem tbh. She faked tourettes in order to call me names and hit me. I don't have to deal with it anymore luckily.
even though the men that hurt me never actually got to *touch* me, things like this still feel incredibly relatable. Such an experience is always incredibly isolating.
I had to hold back tears while watching this. It is so amazing that you guys are educating more and more people about stuff like this every day. Thank you.
I was heavily bullied at my last school and i feel like no one is out there, so thankyou SO MUCH for putting this out there, it really touches my heart
Yeah me too
Another masterpiece from them that made me cry. Thank you.
This really shows the impact a good teacher can make when something like this happens, this short film is one of my favourites.
Wen she said “did he Touch you?”
I literally felt her pine for a minute
⚠️STOP CHILD ABUSE⚠️
pine WHAT DO YOU MEAN
@@juj27g79 Im guessing they mean “pain”
I wanna share my abuse story so I'm doing that rn, anyways let's get on with the story!
My name is Ollie I am a Pangender person and this is my story. It all started when I was 1 when my bio dad left and we moved in with my stepdad, things were at first going pretty well but when I was 5 that's when the abuse started, my step dad started heavily drinking and he would hit me and my older brother, he would walk around at night giving my brother paranoia and he did other things, he locked me in a room when I was 7 because of a coin flip, I cried for hours on end but I eventually passed out from crying so hard, the next thing I remember is him coming to get me out of the room. Then he would walk around naked and he wouldn't care who saw him naked. He would take our stuff for him being able to hear us and then he would hit us to all hell, and then he wouldn't feed me and my brother or the dogs while my mom was out at work so me and my brother had to get food ourselves, and then he would be mad at us for eating food while he was in the living room. He once banned us from coming into the living room the full day knowing that it would starve us. Finally when I was 10 we moved out in I think late or Early July or June, my mom divorced him and we are now living with my new stepdad, and me and my bro still have to carry the mental effect it caused on us will never go away and it has made me scared of trusting people now and I am scared that people will abuse me the same way. It's been years now since that all happened and we heard he moved to another Country and he will never be apart of our lives ever again.
Sorry if this was too long I am very sorry but I just wanted to get my story out there to talk about it because I haven't talked about it much and I wanna talk to someone about it but I am scared they'll push me away and I just don't know who I should talk to it about.
Hi, I may not know you but you are a very brave person. I love how courageous you are for telling your story, it's a hard one to do and I understand.
Telling someone, or seeking help is a pressure, but I hope you do someday. Even if he's already away, I know he still haunts you and I sympathize.
Hope you are okay and healthy! and I know you are a very beautiful person. You are loved, and you deserve to seek your justice.
@@erielambas4242 thank you so damn much, it means a lot to me that you said that
I'm glad you and your family were able to get away from that horrible person! You and your brother didn't deserve that no child at any age should ever have to go through that!! But I just wanna say...
I'm proud of you.
You've gone through a lot but you still continue to hold on every day!
I wish you the best in life loads of love to you and your family :)
Ollie, if you EVER need help, I’m here for venting
Hi Ollie, I am so sorry this has happened to you. It is not your fault, but nonetheless you are so brave for sharing and for enduring what you went through. I wish you all the best and a life filled with love and happiness! God bless 💖
“Come to Me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest”- Jesus

this made me tear up, a lot
as someone who was groomed i felt this, i know how it is, and to anyone who relates, im sorry
i relate that too, its still happening to me. im sorry for you.
@@frenchfrykittypawz i agree, this grooming process is still going on, its hard to leave, but we can get through this together :) i hope youre doing all fine
@@spareaccount3330 no, im sorry about you. :( i hope YOUR feeling fine
@@frenchfrykittypawz thanks so much, youre too kind ugh
@@spareaccount3330 ywww!
I’m not going through abuse but this video made me cry thinking about the people who are going through this
I just recently heard that 2 girls from my class in high school got pregnant by the same teacher. It makes you rethink everything they have done and their motives. From a kind teacher that was willing to talk to his students that needed someone to talk to, to a predator that used his position of power to exploit those that had the least support in their lives. Schools should run these things as part of the first year preparation.
honestly it took me when i finally went back to my faith as a child to tell my life story from birth til now honestly looking back i see how strong i really am i had amazing people my step dad my mom alex jesse dont forget hot cocoa probverbs loving master sensie he was my favorite and no nonsense nana those was the days honestly now looking back i see i need to find that spark of courage and be with the man i married for its not just the right thing and adult thing its who wants me in his life
schools should show this
This legit made me cry. Just her being "lost in space". the moment she was safe hit me the most.
The meaning of the floating out to space in this video:
She has no one to help, and she’s in space floating in the middle of nowhere all scared and alone. Asking if anyone is at least out there.
How I think the meaning of the floating out to space in this video is:
Floating to a silent and peaceful place. No drama, nothing for you to worry about and just admiring the Galaxy around you. My daydreams are always staring into the black void of distant space. I know it wouldn’t work realistically, but imagine just floating into space. Seeing the beautiful Galaxy and escaping all your problems. You don’t overthink and just relax. You are at peace and you find the beauty in the environment around you.
tbh, i wish more teachers were like this, he asked her how she was, and what was going on when she showed signs of being uncofortable with what the coach did, now at my school, only a few teachers care about/ do that, they just ignore it as someone who has been emotionally and physically abused by my parents before, none of the teachers noticed even after i showed signs of it, then i finally had the confidence to tell someone, i love how this shows how you can speak-out for yourself and reacher out for help and support when needed
