"Ooh...! What a buzzkill I just did.." That statement...feels strangely relatable. I guess in this world - considering how introverted I was - it felt as if some people just couldn't understand me.
I know nobody else replied to it but yes, and honestly hearing what spy had experienced was relatable but at the same time I don't think I ever wanted to kill them, beat the shit out of them yes but kill them nah, but hey life has to carry on
I'm so depressed that I do death jokes sometimes for fun. either saying stuff like "life is hell, deal with it." or "I would gladly die if it meant that you'll suffer like I did" or something different yet similar. yes I'm ok. please stop asking for help.
lesson to learn. dont be a fucking asshole. to any bully who is reading this please fuck off from your local bullied kid and leave him alone if you wanna keep your life
The fact that you can beaten up Every fucking day by someone and that person getting to walk away with no consequences while you get in trouble for defending yourself says Miles about who’s side the principal and teachers are really on
Take advice from Foamy the squirrel "Don't just, tHrOw A pUnCh. THROW A FUCKING CHAIR! STAB THEM IN THE GUT WITH A SHARPENED PENCIL AND BREAK IT IN!" If the school won't do anything to protect you, it's up to you to take responsibility for your own safety. Or call the cops, the bully will think twice if his drunken dad beats his ass for having the police coming to their house.
@@Outlaw7263 Attacking the bully is certainly not good for playing a victim. Just pretend you're one of LGBTQ, call the police, and tell your story to news media, the world will love the drama. The bullies destroy you physically, you destroy them socially. I believe the latter is far more worse.
This is why school is shit to the point of constant shooting. at least if you go down, you'll drag someone to hell with them even if you don't know them, who cares, they stabbed your mind so you might as well stab their asses.
Damn, this was perfectly depicted. I used to be in an international school were I was picked on by most people and the principal would threaten me by calling the police just because I exposed her for providing the school with metal tasting water. But it made me who I am today, a strong person. Thanks for the reminder Gregory :) .
I hear ya. I made a fool of myself and the other kids took advantage of that, even when I reacted harshly to certain words they kept saying when I'm near them. The teachers tried to help me get used to it, but when I made it clear it doesn't work like that, they concluded that I was simply reacting to those words for attention. I never once thought of doing that, and I was offended that they even implied it. So yeah, as kids we were kind of selfish in that regard, but that is what we were because we don't know any better. If we get taught to be better, then we become better. If not, well, I'm sure you've heard what happened to those that sunk pretty low.
@@WildDancer101 Do you even know what is to suffer?!!. Two bad teachers made my life impossible!!. One was a crazy old bitch who didn't cared about my autist problems at writting and then she allways called me out for no reason at all!!. Right now, now that i am no longer on highschool. That same bitch got a mental breakdown and made the kids be afraid of her and she took a medical exam!!. But she was nothing compared to the maths teacher....Ohhhh, she was the worse...
@@WildDancer101 I was that kind of kid in middle school. I overreacted over certain things that were said from other kids and would be used as an advantage to annoying, stupid, and weird kids. My patience would be tested at times, I would say stuff that sounded messed up when reacting to what they say or do. When I got to high school, (heading into senior year now) I became a chilled guy who just wanted to live life normally and mess around and all that, but I still dislike people in school, and I don’t really have any friends. So yeah, I regret being like that.
I relate to Scout so much. I'm almost out of that hellhole called highschool. Some nights I cry myself to sleep because of how I've been treated in school
If you hate what things are being done to you, tell someone you trust, make sure they know the severity of the situation, if that doesn't work, fight for what you want, not get into fights, but protest for it, don't let others push you around, be assertive, and don't take s$+t from anybody.
@@ansrfururactions that’s a croc of shit. My mom worked in the school system and she couldn’t do anything because nothing physical ever happened. It was always ‘kids will be kids’ and to mind her business. It’s like the school staff were so bored with their jobs that they encouraged all the petty shit just so they can have a little show at work even though they constantly complained how it’s always something new every day.
that use to be me. even out of high school, I still am. I blame the children. (no really. my classmates acted like kids. that's why I hate the young and annoying)
School was somewhat ok. High-school aside from my last year was utter shit. Me and my brother were picked on and the staff did nothing. All of the gym teachers were being bros to the bullies. All because the vice principal was hushing it up cause he wanted to be a principal for another school. Fortunately my last year was the best. The bad students were gone and one actually became a sorta friend in a class. But we pushed on and we won't be pushed again.
I kinda love how spy de-cloaks and just goes on a rant about his past, and even scout relates to that most likely because they are father and son. I mean I defended a friend once in school only was saspended for 4 days, and then I break someone's nose and I'm gone for 63 days. spy is the one I relate to the most. not the being picked on part, but the fighting back part.
Pyro’s story: He was a kid who was into fire because of movies and would play with fire. He would be looked at in school as a weird kid and would get bullied. His dad, possibly being from the military, showed him how a flamethrower worked one day and then Pyro accidentally burned his face. Pyro’s face was no fix with hospital work, so his parents decided they would have to hide his face. His dad gave him a military-style gas mask he used to wear in combat and Pyro went to school with it. One day, Pyro was bullied because of his mask and then something inside him snapped… he took out a flare gun from his book bag and set one of his bullies on fire. He caused destruction around the entire school and burned down his entire school… and this is because he saw the world through his mask as a magical place with sunshine and rainbows.
Scout: (tells everyone his horrible school life) Spy: (also tells how horrible is his school life is) Like father, like son Also Spy: (Verbally abused his math teacher and never recovered) *EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!*
I feel really bad for people who get bullied or have been bullied. I got blessed with the "why the hell is this dude so big for a 13 year old" gene, so I generally don't have to worry about bullying, and I make sure to not bully people, so I will typically defend a bullied person at all costs.
I know it's often said to be unhealthy to hold grudges, but I definitely hold more than a few against my bullies and the school which facilitated them. At my secondary school, I was beaten to a pulp on a regular basis, threatened with knives, pellet guns, blunt weapons, ostracised and separated from everyone else except what few friends I had, and then the abuse followed me online, the one place I thought was safe from them. Bar the efforts of a few teachers who I was able to trust, the school did nothing. My abusers got away scot-free while I had to suffer in silence. After leaving school, I was diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder, which took almost two years of therapy to correct. It's been the better part of ten years since then, but I still remember the pain and suffering I went through as if it happened yesterday. I don't care if my abusers have 'improved'. I don't care if they're 'better people' now. Deep in my subconscious, I hope that karma comes for them one day, and that, in that moment, they'll feel even one iota of the pain and misery they inflicted upon me. Now, I have two degrees, and I'm about to start a new job that I think I'll really enjoy. From here on, I'll continue to improve my life, and those subhuman monsters can all burn in hell for all I care.
Glad your life turned upward after school. That's only what matters. I'm proud of ya, fellow stranger. PS: I don't blame you for holding grudges still. This actually kind of hit close to home.
I remember a kid called me a terrorist because I greeted my friend with finger guns. Plus he harassed the teacher too. He would play music loudly on his Dr. Dre speaker in the middle of class and I partially remember him slinging a racial slur at her at least once (she was Latina).
Scouts origin was just how school was for me. Any attempt someone made to bother me, teachers ignored but only see when I do something about it. I was an @$$ to the teachers because of it.
Scout's and Spy's stories all relate to me. I was picked on for being a mix of races. I'm part White and part Indian, but they called me fuckin "Curry Muncher". And the more I was picked on, the more angered I became. I wanted to hang or shoot myself when I thought of that, but in the long run, I knew that it wouldn't solve anything. If I died, I wouldn't be as strong as I am today.
Man...... those times that Heavy, Engineer, Demoman, and Soldier were good. But I felt really bad for Scout, Sniper, and Medic though. I wished they deserved better than this. But Spy........ this is seriously very dark. I’ll really felt very bad for him, and he went through all of it. School can have many problems, from the past to today.
That's why in my school I never backed down. Be the quiet kid and the bullies nightmare. No one will ever mess with you and those that do will be have an experience beyond pain ,sure if you fight once they might win but the second, third and fourth time ,it's different and don't forget fear tactics it's the icing on the cake and a must till they back down .anger is only bad when it blinds you .fear makes people irrational , emotional and too agitated to fight well
YES that's the exact tactics I used, fear. Considering I am an autistic person, I do get mad easily(doesn't apply to me from the internet), so I would use these tactics and use them more and more and more. And when i stabbed one of the bullies with a pencil, they backed down.
It’s been a year since I’ve gone to my school and I wish misery on every single one of them. It was a hellhole where everyone was a lunatic. I was considered the worst of the bunch, and I was classmates with a guy who thought Thanos-snapping was *completely moral.* It didn’t get better, it just got worse. Over the years, I’ve been told to take a break. I refused to because I didn’t want to miss important stuff. I finally took their advice on my last year. And what happened? I missed important stuff I needed to learn, *exactly* what I feared would happen from the beginning. I got no help, and *I* was to blame for _literally taking their advice._ Fuck them all. May they burn in hell for eternity.
Yeah, I just got done with high school, luckily my school closed due to covid and we had to do the rest online, whenever other classmates were complaining about it, I just looked at them and laughed, and said "I have no such weakness".
relatable, some classmates just fake being "friends" like they would attempt to bully me and pass it off as "its all ok?" like wtf im not ok and if i say it's not they would attempt looking like nothing happened yesterday, even 1 day in p.e that one idiot decided to try kicking me out of nowhere and i defended myself then resort to FAKING INJURIES TO PAINT MYSELF AS BAD PERSON, i didn't even hit him so hard he "can't run" but was playing football with others like 15 MINUTES LATER, then there's another asshole that just talk worst shit to me for whatever reason, i just reflect back at him and resorts to trying to kick me but ofc i do it him too then tells his friends (FYI they are the same ppl i talked about before) then try to bully me right into the locker room but ofc i fight back and the whole class watches, then during it a whole argument starts, luckily there are some classmates that i would pray they become a millionaire in future, they defended me well enough with the bullying ending with a couple of insults, and i told the teachers and they just treat it as an daily occurrence, sometimes i wish i could just murder them but i wont because im better than this P.S this happended while i was from another country, whats worse i dont speak their language
Spy is basically my dad in school he had a lot of patience and was nice etc but then there was always the ass He sent every one of them to the hospital with no regrets and he wasnt even punished for it because they deserved it
I don't think my school past was that terrible unlike Spy's, but there was one kid I remember who sometimes couldn't control his anger and even threw a chair at another student once. I still consider that one of the the worst memories of mine. A few other students I knew back then received checks for misbehavior as far as I remember.
At my school they played favorites, gave me trauma from psychological torture, even casually dropping implied death threats, sometimes the teachers would use the favorites to assault us, they would have let them beat us up to a bloody pulp, but it never got that far (mostly), not because the teachers intervened but because the students never wanted to go that far, and if we tried to defend ourselves or learn how to defend ourselves in school, (with our bodies) we were punished for it except for the favorite students, they could learn how to do that all day, we were just supposed to take it, and one day the teachers were bullying a student that was already sui***** because of them, I stood up for him and was promptly punished, the school also the school were really good liars and so they could say whatever to get us in trouble, their were rules outlined but the problem is the teachers never did their part to follow them, and just chose to have us take the fall for them (though not really a fall because they knew that we were innocent)
Holy shit man are you okay after everything that has happend to you man. If you are then I hope your having a amazing life after everything that has happened.
@@KaijuDinoLover26727 well it hasn't been amazing, I was later abused by the mental health system I am out of it now, but I am forced to turn to alternative medicine, and pseudo science because doctors told me they cannot reverse what they caused but only make it worse, it seems I have found a mainstream medicine cure but it's not legal so it's back to alternative medicine and pseudo science
That is kinda similar to the situation I was in, in my last year of elementary school I took a pocket knife to school just in case I needed to defend myself, now I'm homeschooled and tutored because I don't feel safe anywhere near a school.
Soldier was actually decently intelligent, still below average, but decent. It was the lead in the water at 2fort that decreased his intelligence exponentially
Spy tells the rest of the team about his nightmarish memories in his life. His principal threatens him with her family carrying their guns to hunt him down, but they were shocked. 7:55. Me: 😱. They reacted in 11:08 and 11:38. 😨😰😱.
I remember one thing that happened to me, pardon me for the misspellings Once in class i was trying to take a phisics exam, since i didnt come in the day they handed out And on the day i went to do it, my class was in a HELL state, because the teacher decided to allow people to do certain questions in group So i decided to get my chair close to the 2 other chairs of my best friends But i just could not do the exam, the loudness of the class was extremely annoying, and as a autistic person myself, that shit was beyond annoying and killing my patience So a certain girl kerp annoying me more by asking to "borrow" my chair and shit, i borrowed for once, then she game back, then she did it AGAIN, and i borrowed again (she was just fucking with me at that moment, im pretty sure) but on the third time, i got up from my table and lifted up the chair, about to throw it in her and screaming, what's funny is...the class got completely silent, and the teacher (who was kinfa of innocent i would say and never dealt with mad students) also got quiet and kinda of scared Now you might be asking, what made you not throw the chair? Well, it was because that bitch took cover BEHIND other girl, so if i tried throwing the chair, it would hit the wrong person and would get me into bigger problems Instead o just throwed the chair at the floor and ran out of the class breaking down, my 2 friends went with me trying to help me calm down I was honestly feeling like shit and i wanted to die at that moment I was always being picked on at class, and all because of what? Because i dont involve into their fucking "funny" games and shit, just because i was quiet and alone And you want to know the best part? That girl did not get into trouble, because the class was on her side since they didn't like me Only my 2 friends were at my side, but since 2 against 20 isn't enough to prove my inocence, i had to say sorry to the bitch and got into a little bit of trouble And to that day on, everyone keept making fun of me because i lifted that chair And noone else ever got into trouble And people wonder why some kids despise school
@@Loner098 ik But that's just the "rule of the school" No matter if someone is annoying you ir even being aggressive towards u, if u hit back, YOU are the gullty one
@@cesarv7685damn i can relate to you, some work was decent and teachers were nice but many classmates are assholes and theres 1 girl who is just unable to talk without gossipping edit: its happening while im from other country and what's worse is i need to learn their language
I relate a lot to Scout and I had some similar issues like Spy had when I was in school. I hated my school, the teachers put me in a classroom full of special needs kids all because I'm a visual learner and I wanted to be normal like everyone else, the pressure of not understanding physics and getting Fs was costing me my rank in JROTC my parents didn't take the time to acknowledge that I'm not a fast learner at the time, I was grounded and I couldn't play games or hangout with friends because of that damn grade it caused me to go mentally insane to a point where my brain didn't even use logic: My screwed up illogical mind thought if I got rid of the teachers in that class *permanently by any means* then the grades would go back to normal (I know, that's screwed up and doesn't make any sense). I was eventually caught with a knife at school, my mother had no words to say and my step father couldn't even fathom what was wrong with me. My chances of becoming Cadet Major were gone and were instead given to my friend who was a rank behind me, people began to distance themselves from me and treated me like an animal even more to a point where now I made up two mottos: 1. I don't isolate myself because I'm afraid of the world, I isolate myself because the world is afraid of me. 2. I Hate Humanity and so should you!
hating humanity just sounds pretty normal if you are tortured in regular basis, i even got xenophobic tendencies from my school (im from other country and i swear they bully me because im culturally different)
That’s Pyro’s biggest problem. He can talk, but his mask makes it impossible to understand him. I don’t play TF2, but from what I’ve seen, Pyro is a devastating character with serious communication problems.
@@myleswelnetz6700he suffers from a schizophrenia type thing called pyrovision. While the others see blood and stuff he sees lollipops. He enjoys war without knowing it's war. In one of the comics after the mercs disbanded pyro gets a job at an engineering company and actually resulted in their top record. But he hated it, everything from his view was boring and gray.
I really should not tell you guys this because it's part of my life privacy but. All of this was almost as worse as when I got WRONGLY ACCUSED AND FRAMED from an a-hole kid in Brownsville who use my full name to text one friend of a mess up joke saying that I'm going to start shooting up the place. ( As what's worse I was a quiet kid at my high school people always accuse me because during that time in 2018 well most school shootings happened there at that time and people are accusing me cuz I was the quiet kid, I was just minding my own business. Luckily the principal figured out that I never use social media at all at the time. So he called off the cops to raid my home. Saying that it was hey misunderstanding...) It was one of the worst and scariest moments of my life. But on the other hand from that moment I was never picked on for being called a quiet kid now that my name was cleared.
@@cesarv7685 Yeah man. In high school, when I confronted the school about the chemistry teacher trying to give us extra credit if we sabotaged one of my friends during a group project, all I got was gaslighted and a half apology from the teacher. And I call it a half apology because a few weeks later, she made me clean up a mess some other kids caused. So, yeah. Glad to hear your principal was more responsible than mine.
@@thegrandxbunny2073 really the only adults that had ruined my life partly is a substitute teacher (for a day) and an old history teacher (but she did still cared at times. Plus I never liked history, so that may be partly my fault as well)
You know what, when soldier talked about the tiles being broken and holes being punched in the boys school bathroom,the same thing happened at my school around the same time, what a quinkydink
First of all one, I am speechless of your work. Two, here’s my story. From uh…. I think Grade 6 to high school. I had some friends that I thought were close and loyal and someone to rely on, but sadly I lost them all cause I am BORING. I tried to make friends later on, but sadly to no avail. Because I “suck at physical activity” “just used to pass the project”, not as intelligent, I could go on! So literally I had my whole school years being alone. (Kind of similar to scout) oh let me tell ya, spy’s story of the confederate kid, dude, my school NOTHING BUT CONFEDERATES! Drawings, to literally speaking out loud. I was even called a Nazi because I think it’s my name even though it’s Scottish. I am just glad it’s done and I can move on. I know this story is not as emotional as others, but this is mine.
This is the main issue why so many kids who were abused by family members/friends or put down by students and teachers ended up going down dark paths like committing hate crimes or even led them to bullying. In fact, bullying is the main reason why so many school shootings happen every time all these years. Things to need to change and for good since things like this can’t go on forever. Massacres that took place in schools or universities like Columbine, Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, Parkland and Robb Elementary in Uvalde, TX need to end and gun control laws should also be fixed.
My childhood was quite bad myself. Not school really, it was mostly at home, I was verbally abused so badly by my parents that I literally wanted to murder them by the time I was 8, they almost completely destroyed my mind that couldn’t cope with stress in the slightest, I had ADHD and autism and was 8 years old how was I supposed to know better when I didn’t even perceive the world like all the other kids. I had to lie every single day about loving them for over a fucking decade. I felt like and probably was going insane from how much I needed to hide everything and be patient. MY COPPING MECHANISM WAS THINKING OF MURDERING PEOPLE, AND I DONT THINK I NEED TO TELL YOU WHY THAT IS A HORRIBLE COPPING MECHANISM. All I wanted was to feel happy, I once spent an entire 3 months without contact with anyone I cared about, I probably would have commit suicide if I didn’t use that copping mechanism and I wasn’t so determined to be happy one day and escape my family.
@@user-cx9un9fs7q well as long as you're still alive, it's best to keep on going. My motto is, if you don't know why you exist, keep going to look for it. Don't just end it early cuz that's stupid. Keep moving forward and you'll find something good in your life.
Hey, I don't know if anyone will see this, but if you have/had a sh-t time at school, work, home etc, I hope you're doing better and that you are/you were able to meet people you like, trust, and that was/will be kind to you. I'm a part of the lucky few who had a generally ok school experience (but my mental health was garbage enough that I felt guilty for being sick and staying home when I felt like crap because I would miss some work), but I understand your pain, and I hope that things can/did get better for you. While there's nothing I can do now, I'm in no position to make any changes to how schools are run around the world, the best I can do is hope that when people who suffered because of their home continent, town/city, country or state's school systems are able to become teachers, principles or people in the education system and make a difference. A whole lot of support, love and hope from a random Australian❤❤❤
I remember when I was In highschool, I was put into special ed class, all because my father doesn't believe I can be in regular classes and be a normal person because of my autism. (He doesn't consider me human either...) I had family issues that lead to me being mostly isolated from people and schools for more than 4 years, so I was extremely scared and shy to even make eye contact or talk to anyone I didn't know, and got paranoid over every action I did, because I could hear many people talking behind my back. The special ed class was shit, half of the time it's just arts and crafts and the teacher expecting absolute perfection, on our wording body language and so on. Which made everything more harder ,since I barely done anything social for years, and they are the most annoying asses of teachers I've ever seen. The other students were driving me insane at times with the weird shit they done.(not all of them were bad, some were really nice people and some were just ignorant as fuck) I even felt like I was suffering segregation since I was in special ed they wouldn't allow me to have access to certent things or even baseball events, HECK EVEN THE BLOODY LIBRARY FOR MONTHS! All because they thought I would cause problems. The teachers would always embarrass me in front of other classes when they tried to take us to regular classes but they have to be with us at all times. One point one of the fights I had with a teacher lead to her trying to convince me that I was like the other special ed kids and tried to use my personality as the main reason why I can't be normal for half an hour, but I think she wants me to stay because I overheard something about special eds being paid more with the more students they have in their class. After 2 and a half years of mental pain and emotional suffering, I had to be transferred to a different school. Instead of my dad doing the meeting to get me in there, I decided to do it instead my self. After that I was put into regular classes and actually started learning, and made a few friends. And I actually felt like I was treated as a person for once in the past 2 and a half years by teachers. I felt like I could actually talk to people. Which I was scared to do, but did it anyways. Glad I graduated from a better school that actually tries to teach me things.
I'm glad I grew up in a good, well-funded school district, and as such, never really had issues to this degree. I still find it infuriating that bullshit like this is still common in schools, even if I can't fully relate.
another reason to relate to scout even more !! The bullying situation is still going on and i only have fun when im with my friends in art club Everyone just thinks im weird and decides to go out of their way to harass me when im doing nothing??? I wanna go to a new school but at the same time i dont 😭😭😭
My high school life was okay but nothing fun happened to me much cause I was (and still am) an introvert. Had some friends still long distance so I wasn't able to see them much. Other then my old friend Frank becoming a jock for the years until he mature, didn't get bullied much. Became a B Honor student and had decent teachers, the food was pretty good though the rectangle pizzas were a bit stiff until they switched them for more delicious triangle pizzas. School life was okay at best, better then having to deal with the problems an adult has to anyday
Okay...holy shit....where do I even begin? Oh yeah! WHAT KIND OF UNHOLY CRUEL AND BATSHIT INSANE THING DID THAT GUY/GAL HAD TO GO TROUGH?!?!?!? Like JESUS I tought my school had bully problem but LORD HELP ME I WAS WRONG!! I am so SO sorry for you mate for having to live trough this Cantina.... I hope you are in a better enviroment with better people.
I kind of relate to scout ; TLDR - for around 5 months I was called names and was picked on for the smallest things when I was only minding my business. So most of the people in my year (year = grade) made fun of me and since I was introverted and had forgotten how to make friends mixed in with the fear that I might not even be worth talking to due to the thought that I have nothing interesting to say plus the fact that nearly every one isn't a good option to have for a friend or atleast someone to talk to during lunch as they were the people who had been picking on me, I was doomed to be on my own for most if not all of the time to the point where I became the quiet kid.I skipped school more often because of this.Later people tried to make me think they're the victim and it kind of succeeded because I started to overthink about how nice I was to other people but after thinking about it during class instead of paying attention, I had done nothing.I told the head of year after it started to get physical and luckily they were on my side and punished them.A few months later, the whole "extrovert adopts the introvert" thing happened, and I had found myself being part of a friend group I feel comfortable being in.Then the whole name calling thing had stopped by alot with only 1-3 people doing it. I didn't suffer as much as the people in the comments but it was still a bit of a pain in the ass to deal with and I don't want to go through it again. And there may be mistakes I made in this paragraph that I for some reason proofread too many times than I'd like to admit
Middle school and high school was the worse for me. From getting beat up, to being shoved in the lockers, staying in a locker for nearly a week, being hated by all students teachers and faculty, and almost getting expelled for a *We just hate you* reason. High school was a bit less physical and more verbal. The teachers would always glare at me for being smarter than they were, and all the students, even newer or older, had some way to threaten me if I didn't give all the answers or help them on SATs. I got pure Fs on my report card one time because I exposed the principal for stealing money from school funding AND parents with new students to waste on nightlife things. These parents were being robbed in plain view because a simple credit card scam worked. I'm glad it's over, though. I'm doing more than better and I even have a singular best friend. This video made me think of horrible days and how stronger I got because of it. Normally I would leave a funny haha joke but this is a good reminiscent. Thanks
At one point during middle school, I was accused of stealing a bag of pistachios that apparently belonged to someone else. Any food left unguarded out in the open is fair game to be taken. As punishment, I had to spend a lunch period in the school office and was told to apologize.
I- wasn't expecting that, though I can't say I was bullied throughout school. I can say that I am friends with people who have, I'm glad that people here feel open enough to talk and discuss about shit school lives
I had a good time at Chelsea high school. may not be the best, but still had good memories. I made drawings for my friends and teachers after or during class and hang out with them because they were nice people as I am nice to them.
the thing i hated most about school was whenever people defend themselves against bullies they got punished not the bullies and the reason bullies get off with only a slap on the wrist is mostly because most of there parents donate a lot of money to the schools...
Ngl, by the end of high school, things started to clear up for me, but middle school was hell on earth. I was constentally made fun of and the rumours that where spread about me cause me to break down IN FRONT IF THE GOSSIPERS multiple times. My “friends” stopped me from doing anything about it bc they would be kicked out of the circle. To make it worse, people would blame annonomus bulling (there was a problem with cyber bullying in my school) on me. And when the school got shot up, I took the fucking blame for it. According to the rumours I have been expelled for everything you can think of at least three times. I fucking hate school so much.
honestly sounds like hell on earth. The only reasons why i hate school is that it's boring, it's got an outdated system being used, and essays. DEAR GOD ESSAYS. Those things singlehandedly made me fail my first year AND be the first one in my family to fail despite me being one who usually passes with flying colors. i was virtual that year. But, once again, nowhere fuckin near your shit experience.
I'm 24 now but I really can't remember much from my school years, only a few vague memories come to mind. For whatever reason I felt like I didn't really 'exist' in school. I was quiet, so quiet that even my friend group would forget I was there sometimes. I admit I seemed like I really was nobody, nothing interesting to say or add, just a walking blank personality. I was part of the 'nerd' group so I got picked on a bit but nothing too bad. About a week ago a couple mates and I were looking over the names from our Leavers hoodies and while they could distinctly remember over 95% of the names I could barely remember 5% of them. It doesn't bother me now, the past is irrelevant to me and I've grown a lot since then. Who I was then doesn't exist anymore, who I was a year ago doesn't exist, who I am only exists in the now, the present. I am constantly learning more about myself each day and becoming better for it. Easier said than done of course but the fact remains that the past does not define the present or the future. Perhaps I am naïve though, I haven't experienced heartbreak or any major loss of anything. My emotional health has never really been tested. Oh apologies I've rambled on now haven't I?
I’m completely with Scout on this discussion. School life for me was average. I didn’t really get bullied in elementary or anything, still had friends and had a great time. Middle school was a challenge though, I was bothered a lot by annoying brats and had to deal with the weird kids. Some doofus even pushed me down to the floor one time and tried to choke me. I was so pissed that day at him, that we both went to the office for this and he apologized, but I’m glad as hell I won’t ever see him again. I never forgave him for that. Still finished middle school with a bang, but high school has been kind of troubling for me, especially with Covid. I never had any friends, well colleagues, but I still had no friends. I was always busy with work every single day. Some of the teachers I experienced didn’t seem good to me. Back in January, I even was accused of trying to hit a girl when I had no frikin intention to do so and no part of my body was raised to do it. I was just messing around and being myself, when some prick told me that I was making people uncomfortable and to sit down. She must’ve had reported me too, cause the teacher had one of those talks with me after school, and from there, the student who reported me almost ruined my social reputation and I never forgave her ever again and I never dared to want to talk to her again. I would insult her behind her back out of anger, even when she is in view. I’m heading into senior year, and I just want to get high school over with. You’re not the only one, Scout. I feel ya buddy.
I have no idea why but for some reason someone was either stealing or breaking the stall doors in the bathrooms at my high school. Also there was never any FRIGGIN PAPER TOWELS.
Yea my most extreme school story was when my bully was punching me on the bus I had been dealing with it for months so I was done at that point and so I grabbed his head smashed it into the metal bar in the middle of the windows like 8 times before the bus driver snapped me back to my senses and we went to the principles the next day, he started it so he got in trouble more but I still got detention for going a bit overboard, I think was justified since I had bruises and marks all over my arm making my parents think I was doing it to myself. That’s my story so take that from 7th grade me I should mention I tried being a pacifist and telling teachers but no one believed me until the bus driver turned that footage in and they realized they were dumb.
Man the things they said makes a lot of sense because school was a hell hole really and plus it was sad it was not even safe for no one just because you just try defending yourself and they go out Scott free and yourself getting all the blame and talk crap it was indeed a horrible feeling
I think if it was to be accurate with TF2 lore and the setting. most characters would have had pretty different backgrounds since a lot of them come from different countries. I went into a massive rabbit hole about it as well. -Scout: probably had to hear a lot of anti-communist propaganda considering he was probably in school during the 1950's. Most likely a dropout due to his general delinquency. He also mentions how he grew up in a rough area in Boston in the Meet The Scout trailer. It's also cannon that he built up his agility from outrunning bullies so it's likely he was picked on by larger kids, including his own brothers. -Soldier: probably went to some shanty midwestern schoolhouse during the great depression. Maybe he graduated from high school, but it's hard to tell since his canonical decline in intelligence occurred via lead poisoning which could've been before or after high school. -Pyro: [REDACTED] Demoman: Since he was raised in Scottland and is implied to be at least over 30, may have had a point during his school years during the Battle of Britain in which Scottland was subjected to 500 bombing attacks from the German Luftwaffe. Probably would've been discriminated against for being a Black in a place where everyone is pasty gingers. Also him loosing his eye as a kid probably messed with him a lot. Heavy: Heavy is rumored to be around his late 40's early 50's so he would've been born around the time of the Russian Civil War. Since his family was imprisoned and sent to a gulag due to Heavy's father being a member of the white army, he probably spent a lot of his early years in prison. It's cannon that he also has a degree in Russian literature so he maybe got that degree after he and his family escaped prison. Engineer: I think Engineer probably had a better than average upbringing compared to the rest of the mercs. He most likely excelled in school due to his 11 science PhDs. Though he was probably picked on in school for being a bookworm and for being short. Medic: While Valve has explicitly stated that his age is "unknown" though he's speculated to be between 45 to 50 years old. So he was probably born shortly after WW1 and had a really crappy childhood during Weimar Republic (I'm not going to state how this upbringing affected his potential political views for obvious reasons) but probably was gifted enough to go to a good school and learn a lot about medicine. Though he could've also come from a wealthy family and didn't have to deal with the economic misery like the average German during that time. Sniper: We do know that he spent a lot of his days alone during recess hiding up in trees because he felt different from all of the other kids. So we know for sure he was a loner in his younger years and still is as an adult. Spy: He was a really interesting one to look into due to his canonical relationship to Scout. I speculated he was born in the late 20's so he grew up with the great depression, France's political crisis in the mid to late 30s, followed by the German occupation of France in WW2. It would've been 1944 by the time Spy turned 18. So it's safe to say Spy grew up in a really bad place. Hell, he could've joined the French resistance during WW2 as a teenager. Though since Spy has a lot of expensive things alongside his dapper manner, he could've also come from a wealthy family and not have had to deal with the depression. But it is very likely that WW2 would've caused a ton of issues for Spy and potentially turned his high school years on it's head regardless of his wealth.
The strangest public bathroom story I have was in Elementary school when someone SOMEHOW dropped a whole tomato into the urinal. To this day, I don't know who did it, how, or why.
Reminds me of a recent story I had in school is when some chewing gum wrappers were in the toilet. I would have go to the urinal instead, and I do not know who did it.
@@v88box21 reminds me of the time, someone, for some reason, taped (with clear tape) like 70 pennies to the toilet? Just all over it. I have no idea why.
Realistically, my highschool experience was pretty generic and boring, but how in my senior year, the people are getting more aggravating and annoying than ever before, needless to say I won’t miss this school and I’m happy that I get to start a new life in college
For me, High school was... not good. In freshman year, i was able to put all my emotion into a writing assigment. That assignment was interpreted as a threat, and that teacher wanted me thrown in jail (which would ruin my life if i managed to survive. A criminal record of threatening a teacher would bar me from most jobs). My mother, being the only person who tried to understand my autism, managed to prove that i wasn't a monster. So they sent me to "therapy" (rehab for an addiction that they caused because this newfangled technology is at fault and not the outdated and oppressive public schooling system). I only had 1 friend before that. Afterwards word got out, rumors spread, and everyone who heard started avoiding me due to the former principal's narrative (heard he stepped down because of the basketball coach's actions involving students... and I was probably his next target). And at that "therapy", I met the only woman I've ever fallen in love with. The last day we saw each other was the day I wanted to tell her how I felt. I never did because I felt that She was too good for someone like me. I realized that she probably loved me as well, and not a day went by since then where i don't regret my silence. Now I can't muster up the ability to talk to anyone in person to the point where I've grown extremely distant to my own family, while i knowingly indulge in self-destructive habits because I lack the strength to end this misery.
My childhood, and my school life in particular, is a big reason why I'm in trauma counseling now. I was punished for everything in school. I got punished for having emotions, expressing those emotions, trying to fit in, not fitting in, being bullied, becoming the bully and basically just for existing. I entered the public school system with a target on my back because I'm autistic. They forced me to undergo conformity training, which they called "social skills group". When I told the school psychologist I was struggling, I was gaslit, threatened with expulsion and accused of crying wolf for attention. And they swept it all under the rug.
As an autistic gamer, I can definitely say high school and middle school sucked. But it gets way better in college. I've never had a bigger friend group than right now! So, don't despair guys, it gets better 👍
Same here. And lucky for me, I and my mom found a college school that actually has something that I like and is interested in. All I needed is some help with some work and I'm good to go with the rest of it. NonParel is the name I think. Check it out if you want to make games or do online art. The clubs are nice too.
Im currently in secondary school (middle school) and im going to year 9/grade 8. i have autism too and its hard sometimes but its a bit easier compared to when i was younger.
Great video that brought up some moments I can't relate to more with ... unfortunately Though I wish you brought pyro in Though pyro would be for humor since you couldn't understand him yet everyone else could so it makes sense you didn't since the video was a bit for serious
I was kept in a trash barrel in the resource room at my elementary school for every school day after a while. There was nothing for me to do but read books. I was just one more 10K per head for the teachers. So long as I was there, they didn't care about teaching at all. Add to that the fact I was autistic and would sometimes get overstimulated and make a break for it, and they would chase me down and haul me back like a common criminal, pain compliance hold and everything. My folks tried to fight, but the school bureaucracy was too freaking big.
Reminds me of this one kid in my English class during freshman year of High School. He was an a**. He called the teacher a racial slur at least once (she’s Latina) and another class he played loud music in the middle of her discussion on his red Dr. Dre Speaker. One time, we did a project where we had to do a skit based off the story we read about this chess prodigy. For some reason, he left his group and walked over to mine. He started moving the pieces when we were trying to rehearse. I told him to go away (making the ‘’shoo” hand motion) and then he called me nazi. Then his group mates found him and more or less dragged him back to their rehearsals. Few weeks later, he called me a terrorist because I greeted my friend with finger guns (it was a thing I used to do a lot back then). After that year though, I don’t know what happened but I never saw him again.
I still remember getting verbally bullied and being emotionally manipulated V (not real name) ever since primary school, until in secondary school. Even though V has changed, I still feel uncomfortable being with them. I hate that they're still here, even if we're in different classes now.
Something similar happened to me in middle school, nothing serious just mild bullying, but by the time bullying had started I had already been accustomed to the shitfest that were toxic players and some cod lobbies so it wasn't that bad since I was already jaded by them. At the end i just had enough and told my parents who dealt with the situation.
i relate to scout to the point that i know that going to the room to play video games is actually sitting or standing on one point of the room, think and then cry about everything and later u play bc u got better ;)
Talking about nerds reminds me of U.S Army Basic training. The Drill Sgts would call us nerds all the time at a sort of insult. Cut to the end where we have to do what is called the "End of cycle test". When it was done our Company had the highest score within the whole battalion. I was like "Huh guess we are nerds."
Remember, If you were bullied in school, remember that you will most likely be successful, and that your former bully will probably be bagging groceries the rest of their life. That or prison.

The fact that you can beaten up Every fucking day by someone and that person getting to walk away with no consequences while you get in trouble for defending yourself says Miles about who’s side the principal and teachers are really on
Take advice from Foamy the squirrel "Don't just, tHrOw A pUnCh. THROW A FUCKING CHAIR! STAB THEM IN THE GUT WITH A SHARPENED PENCIL AND BREAK IT IN!" If the school won't do anything to protect you, it's up to you to take responsibility for your own safety.

@@Outlaw7263 Attacking the bully is certainly not good for playing a victim.

I hate my childhood, mainly because I’m autistic and I was difficult. I wish I could go back and start over.
Though i am autist person
But my life is far better cuz they treat me like a person
You are being pathetic unlike me who is a perfection
I'm sorry to hear that. At least you won't have to suffer with it anymore.
I hear ya. I made a fool of myself and the other kids took advantage of that, even when I reacted harshly to certain words they kept saying when I'm near them. The teachers tried to help me get used to it, but when I made it clear it doesn't work like that, they concluded that I was simply reacting to those words for attention. I never once thought of doing that, and I was offended that they even implied it.
So yeah, as kids we were kind of selfish in that regard, but that is what we were because we don't know any better. If we get taught to be better, then we become better. If not, well, I'm sure you've heard what happened to those that sunk pretty low.
@@WildDancer101 Do you even know what is to suffer?!!. Two bad teachers made my life impossible!!. One was a crazy old bitch who didn't cared about my autist problems at writting and then she allways called me out for no reason at all!!. Right now, now that i am no longer on highschool. That same bitch got a mental breakdown and made the kids be afraid of her and she took a medical exam!!. But she was nothing compared to the maths teacher....Ohhhh, she was the worse...
@@WildDancer101 I was that kind of kid in middle school. I overreacted over certain things that were said from other kids and would be used as an advantage to annoying, stupid, and weird kids. My patience would be tested at times, I would say stuff that sounded messed up when reacting to what they say or do. When I got to high school, (heading into senior year now) I became a chilled guy who just wanted to live life normally and mess around and all that, but I still dislike people in school, and I don’t really have any friends. So yeah, I regret being like that.
I relate to Scout so much. I'm almost out of that hellhole called highschool. Some nights I cry myself to sleep because of how I've been treated in school
Home stretch.
If you hate what things are being done to you, tell someone you trust, make sure they know the severity of the situation, if that doesn't work, fight for what you want, not get into fights, but protest for it, don't let others push you around, be assertive, and don't take s$+t from anybody.
I just hope things get better for you, bud, I'll be there (well not actually but you get the gist) to support you!
@@ansrfururactions that’s a croc of shit. My mom worked in the school system and she couldn’t do anything because nothing physical ever happened.

School was somewhat ok. High-school aside from my last year was utter shit. Me and my brother were picked on and the staff did nothing. All of the gym teachers were being bros to the bullies. All because the vice principal was hushing it up cause he wanted to be a principal for another school. Fortunately my last year was the best. The bad students were gone and one actually became a sorta friend in a class. But we pushed on and we won't be pushed again.
I kinda love how spy de-cloaks and just goes on a rant about his past, and even scout relates to that most likely because they are father and son. I mean I defended a friend once in school only was saspended for 4 days, and then I break someone's nose and I'm gone for 63 days. spy is the one I relate to the most. not the being picked on part, but the fighting back part.
I wonder what Pyro's story in school looks like
His school life was a cult
*Insert 10 minutes of muffled talking here*
let's just say.....his past life was the reason he wears a mask and literally never takes it off
Pyro’s story: He was a kid who was into fire because of movies and would play with fire. He would be looked at in school as a weird kid and would get bullied. His dad, possibly being from the military, showed him how a flamethrower worked one day and then Pyro accidentally burned his face. Pyro’s face was no fix with hospital work, so his parents decided they would have to hide his face. His dad gave him a military-style gas mask he used to wear in combat and Pyro went to school with it. One day, Pyro was bullied because of his mask and then something inside him snapped… he took out a flare gun from his book bag and set one of his bullies on fire. He caused destruction around the entire school and burned down his entire school… and this is because he saw the world through his mask as a magical place with sunshine and rainbows.

I feel really bad for people who get bullied or have been bullied. I got blessed with the "why the hell is this dude so big for a 13 year old" gene, so I generally don't have to worry about bullying, and I make sure to not bully people, so I will typically defend a bullied person at all costs.
You a Good Son,Real Good, Maybe even the best
I know it's often said to be unhealthy to hold grudges, but I definitely hold more than a few against my bullies and the school which facilitated them. At my secondary school, I was beaten to a pulp on a regular basis, threatened with knives, pellet guns, blunt weapons, ostracised and separated from everyone else except what few friends I had, and then the abuse followed me online, the one place I thought was safe from them. Bar the efforts of a few teachers who I was able to trust, the school did nothing. My abusers got away scot-free while I had to suffer in silence.
After leaving school, I was diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder, which took almost two years of therapy to correct. It's been the better part of ten years since then, but I still remember the pain and suffering I went through as if it happened yesterday. I don't care if my abusers have 'improved'. I don't care if they're 'better people' now. Deep in my subconscious, I hope that karma comes for them one day, and that, in that moment, they'll feel even one iota of the pain and misery they inflicted upon me. Now, I have two degrees, and I'm about to start a new job that I think I'll really enjoy. From here on, I'll continue to improve my life, and those subhuman monsters can all burn in hell for all I care.
Glad your life turned upward after school. That's only what matters. I'm proud of ya, fellow stranger.
PS: I don't blame you for holding grudges still. This actually kind of hit close to home.
Holy fucking hell,PTSD from school.
Honestly sometimes just fuck being the bigger man some people do need to go through suffering to see how much pain they caused

Coincidentally, Spy's backstory is said to be inspired by Oyu'baat Cantina's backstory, the one who helped make this video.
It's Apparently based on true events. But I honestly don't believe it.
👀
Scouts origin was just how school was for me. Any attempt someone made to bother me, teachers ignored but only see when I do something about it. I was an @$$ to the teachers because of it.
Scout's and Spy's stories all relate to me.
I was picked on for being a mix of races. I'm part White and part Indian, but they called me fuckin "Curry Muncher".
And the more I was picked on, the more angered I became.
I wanted to hang or shoot myself when I thought of that, but in the long run, I knew that it wouldn't solve anything.
If I died, I wouldn't be as strong as I am today.
Be strong lad
This could've been a whooole different story if you were on the TF2 universe.

Yellow lantern ring 💍 for ya.
YES that's the exact tactics I used, fear.

Over the years, I’ve been told to take a break. I refused to because I didn’t want to miss important stuff. I finally took their advice on my last year. And what happened? I missed important stuff I needed to learn, *exactly* what I feared would happen from the beginning. I got no help, and *I* was to blame for _literally taking their advice._

relatable, some classmates just fake being "friends" like they would attempt to bully me and pass it off as "its all ok?" like wtf im not ok and if i say it's not they would attempt looking like nothing happened yesterday, even 1 day in p.e that one idiot decided to try kicking me out of nowhere and i defended myself then resort to FAKING INJURIES TO PAINT MYSELF AS BAD PERSON, i didn't even hit him so hard he "can't run" but was playing football with others like 15 MINUTES LATER, then there's another asshole that just talk worst shit to me for whatever reason, i just reflect back at him and resorts to trying to kick me but ofc i do it him too then tells his friends (FYI they are the same ppl i talked about before) then try to bully me right into the locker room but ofc i fight back and the whole class watches, then during it a whole argument starts, luckily there are some classmates that i would pray they become a millionaire in future, they defended me well enough with the bullying ending with a couple of insults, and i told the teachers and they just treat it as an daily occurrence, sometimes i wish i could just murder them but i wont because im better than this
P.S this happended while i was from another country, whats worse i dont speak their language
i didnt expect that i wrote a whole ass bible page
Spy is basically my dad in school he had a lot of patience and was nice etc but then there was always the ass
He sent every one of them to the hospital with no regrets and he wasnt even punished for it because they deserved it
I don't think my school past was that terrible unlike Spy's, but there was one kid I remember who sometimes couldn't control his anger and even threw a chair at another student once. I still consider that one of the the worst memories of mine. A few other students I knew back then received checks for misbehavior as far as I remember.
A fucking chair...?
at that point that sounds like my brother except he doesnt throw a fucking chair but instead gets angry at a damm duel in games
@@dnvunderjthat sounds kind of relatively tame
At my school they played favorites, gave me trauma from psychological torture, even casually dropping implied death threats, sometimes the teachers would use the favorites to assault us, they would have let them beat us up to a bloody pulp, but it never got that far (mostly), not because the teachers intervened but because the students never wanted to go that far, and if we tried to defend ourselves or learn how to defend ourselves in school, (with our bodies) we were punished for it except for the favorite students, they could learn how to do that all day, we were just supposed to take it, and one day the teachers were bullying a student that was already sui***** because of them, I stood up for him and was promptly punished, the school also the school were really good liars and so they could say whatever to get us in trouble, their were rules outlined but the problem is the teachers never did their part to follow them, and just chose to have us take the fall for them (though not really a fall because they knew that we were innocent)
Holy shit man are you okay after everything that has happend to you man. If you are then I hope your having a amazing life after everything that has happened.
@@KaijuDinoLover26727 well it hasn't been amazing, I was later abused by the mental health system I am out of it now, but I am forced to turn to alternative medicine, and pseudo science because doctors told me they cannot reverse what they caused but only make it worse, it seems I have found a mainstream medicine cure but it's not legal so it's back to alternative medicine and pseudo science
That is kinda similar to the situation I was in, in my last year of elementary school I took a pocket knife to school just in case I needed to defend myself, now I'm homeschooled and tutored because I don't feel safe anywhere near a school.
@@LeviathanProbably at my school that wouldn't have worked, they would just torment you more, also i had a bad home life

What I don't get is how Soldier managed to graduate from school?!
Soldier was actually decently intelligent, still below average, but decent. It was the lead in the water at 2fort that decreased his intelligence exponentially
He almost killed the school lmao
Spy tells the rest of the team about his nightmarish memories in his life. His principal threatens him with her family carrying their guns to hunt him down, but they were shocked. 7:55.

I remember one thing that happened to me, pardon me for the misspellings
Once in class i was trying to take a phisics exam, since i didnt come in the day they handed out
And on the day i went to do it, my class was in a HELL state, because the teacher decided to allow people to do certain questions in group
So i decided to get my chair close to the 2 other chairs of my best friends
But i just could not do the exam, the loudness of the class was extremely annoying, and as a autistic person myself, that shit was beyond annoying and killing my patience
So a certain girl kerp annoying me more by asking to "borrow" my chair and shit, i borrowed for once, then she game back, then she did it AGAIN, and i borrowed again (she was just fucking with me at that moment, im pretty sure) but on the third time, i got up from my table and lifted up the chair, about to throw it in her and screaming, what's funny is...the class got completely silent, and the teacher (who was kinfa of innocent i would say and never dealt with mad students) also got quiet and kinda of scared
Now you might be asking, what made you not throw the chair? Well, it was because that bitch took cover BEHIND other girl, so if i tried throwing the chair, it would hit the wrong person and would get me into bigger problems
Instead o just throwed the chair at the floor and ran out of the class breaking down, my 2 friends went with me trying to help me calm down
I was honestly feeling like shit and i wanted to die at that moment
I was always being picked on at class, and all because of what? Because i dont involve into their fucking "funny" games and shit, just because i was quiet and alone
And you want to know the best part? That girl did not get into trouble, because the class was on her side since they didn't like me
Only my 2 friends were at my side, but since 2 against 20 isn't enough to prove my inocence, i had to say sorry to the bitch and got into a little bit of trouble
And to that day on, everyone keept making fun of me because i lifted that chair
And noone else ever got into trouble
And people wonder why some kids despise school
That right there is just unfair, dude.

Spent my entire life being told i’d miss school when it was over. It’s been years and i’ve never been a happier person
Same. High School *sucked* because of those people. At least the teachers and some of the work was nice.
Still, I'm glad I'm out of here.
@@cesarv7685damn i can relate to you, some work was decent and teachers were nice but many classmates are assholes and theres 1 girl who is just unable to talk without gossipping
edit: its happening while im from other country and what's worse is i need to learn their language
I relate a lot to Scout and I had some similar issues like Spy had when I was in school.
I hated my school, the teachers put me in a classroom full of special needs kids all because I'm a visual learner and I wanted to be normal like everyone else, the pressure of not understanding physics and getting Fs was costing me my rank in JROTC my parents didn't take the time to acknowledge that I'm not a fast learner at the time, I was grounded and I couldn't play games or hangout with friends because of that damn grade it caused me to go mentally insane to a point where my brain didn't even use logic: My screwed up illogical mind thought if I got rid of the teachers in that class *permanently by any means* then the grades would go back to normal (I know, that's screwed up and doesn't make any sense).
I was eventually caught with a knife at school, my mother had no words to say and my step father couldn't even fathom what was wrong with me. My chances of becoming Cadet Major were gone and were instead given to my friend who was a rank behind me, people began to distance themselves from me and treated me like an animal even more to a point where now I made up two mottos:
1. I don't isolate myself because I'm afraid of the world, I isolate myself because the world is afraid of me.
2. I Hate Humanity and so should you!
hating humanity just sounds pretty normal if you are tortured in regular basis, i even got xenophobic tendencies from my school (im from other country and i swear they bully me because im culturally different)
I can also agree and relate to that.
They all are somewhat relatable
Apart from Demoman
engie was the least relatable for me since whenever a test began i kinda brought up my brain and just went "EDUCATED GUESS GUN, GO!!!"
I wonder what would pyro's childhood be like....?
burning the entire school cause someone says the fire is not a friendly in his/her imagination
That’s Pyro’s biggest problem. He can talk, but his mask makes it impossible to understand him. I don’t play TF2, but from what I’ve seen, Pyro is a devastating character with serious communication problems.
@@myleswelnetz6700he suffers from a schizophrenia type thing called pyrovision. While the others see blood and stuff he sees lollipops. He enjoys war without knowing it's war. In one of the comics after the mercs disbanded pyro gets a job at an engineering company and actually resulted in their top record. But he hated it, everything from his view was boring and gray.
I really should not tell you guys this because it's part of my life privacy but. All of this was almost as worse as when I got WRONGLY ACCUSED AND FRAMED from an a-hole kid in Brownsville who use my full name to text one friend of a mess up joke saying that I'm going to start shooting up the place. ( As what's worse I was a quiet kid at my high school people always accuse me because during that time in 2018 well most school shootings happened there at that time and people are accusing me cuz I was the quiet kid, I was just minding my own business. Luckily the principal figured out that I never use social media at all at the time. So he called off the cops to raid my home. Saying that it was hey misunderstanding...) It was one of the worst and scariest moments of my life. But on the other hand from that moment I was never picked on for being called a quiet kid now that my name was cleared.
Thank you for sharing your story. Hope you're better off today
Thanks man
You are so lucky that things haven't gotten any worse, and that the principal was on your side
@@cesarv7685 Yeah man. In high school, when I confronted the school about the chemistry teacher trying to give us extra credit if we sabotaged one of my friends during a group project, all I got was gaslighted and a half apology from the teacher. And I call it a half apology because a few weeks later, she made me clean up a mess some other kids caused. So, yeah. Glad to hear your principal was more responsible than mine.
@@thegrandxbunny2073 really the only adults that had ruined my life partly is a substitute teacher (for a day) and an old history teacher (but she did still cared at times. Plus I never liked history, so that may be partly my fault as well)
You know what, when soldier talked about the tiles being broken and holes being punched in the boys school bathroom,the same thing happened at my school around the same time, what a quinkydink
It sucks that I can relate to spy and scout.
First of all one, I am speechless of your work.
Two, here’s my story. From uh…. I think Grade 6 to high school. I had some friends that I thought were close and loyal and someone to rely on, but sadly I lost them all cause I am BORING. I tried to make friends later on, but sadly to no avail. Because I “suck at physical activity” “just used to pass the project”, not as intelligent, I could go on! So literally I had my whole school years being alone. (Kind of similar to scout) oh let me tell ya, spy’s story of the confederate kid, dude, my school NOTHING BUT CONFEDERATES! Drawings, to literally speaking out loud. I was even called a Nazi because I think it’s my name even though it’s Scottish. I am just glad it’s done and I can move on.
I know this story is not as emotional as others, but this is mine.
This is the main issue why so many kids who were abused by family members/friends or put down by students and teachers ended up going down dark paths like committing hate crimes or even led them to bullying. In fact, bullying is the main reason why so many school shootings happen every time all these years. Things to need to change and for good since things like this can’t go on forever. Massacres that took place in schools or universities like Columbine, Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, Parkland and Robb Elementary in Uvalde, TX need to end and gun control laws should also be fixed.
My childhood was quite bad myself.
Not school really, it was mostly at home, I was verbally abused so badly by my parents that I literally wanted to murder them by the time I was 8, they almost completely destroyed my mind that couldn’t cope with stress in the slightest, I had ADHD and autism and was 8 years old how was I supposed to know better when I didn’t even perceive the world like all the other kids.
I had to lie every single day about loving them for over a fucking decade. I felt like and probably was going insane from how much I needed to hide everything and be patient. MY COPPING MECHANISM WAS THINKING OF MURDERING PEOPLE, AND I DONT THINK I NEED TO TELL YOU WHY THAT IS A HORRIBLE COPPING MECHANISM. All I wanted was to feel happy, I once spent an entire 3 months without contact with anyone I cared about, I probably would have commit suicide if I didn’t use that copping mechanism and I wasn’t so determined to be happy one day and escape my family.
Yikes. Hope you're doing well now.
@@thegrandxbunny2073 I am doing better, not completely but at the very least better, thank you.
@@user-cx9un9fs7q well as long as you're still alive, it's best to keep on going.

Hey, I don't know if anyone will see this, but if you have/had a sh-t time at school, work, home etc, I hope you're doing better and that you are/you were able to meet people you like, trust, and that was/will be kind to you. I'm a part of the lucky few who had a generally ok school experience (but my mental health was garbage enough that I felt guilty for being sick and staying home when I felt like crap because I would miss some work), but I understand your pain, and I hope that things can/did get better for you. While there's nothing I can do now, I'm in no position to make any changes to how schools are run around the world, the best I can do is hope that when people who suffered because of their home continent, town/city, country or state's school systems are able to become teachers, principles or people in the education system and make a difference. A whole lot of support, love and hope from a random Australian❤❤❤
I remember when I was In highschool, I was put into special ed class, all because my father doesn't believe I can be in regular classes and be a normal person because of my autism. (He doesn't consider me human either...) I had family issues that lead to me being mostly isolated from people and schools for more than 4 years, so I was extremely scared and shy to even make eye contact or talk to anyone I didn't know, and got paranoid over every action I did, because I could hear many people talking behind my back. The special ed class was shit, half of the time it's just arts and crafts and the teacher expecting absolute perfection, on our wording body language and so on. Which made everything more harder ,since I barely done anything social for years, and they are the most annoying asses of teachers I've ever seen. The other students were driving me insane at times with the weird shit they done.(not all of them were bad, some were really nice people and some were just ignorant as fuck) I even felt like I was suffering segregation since I was in special ed they wouldn't allow me to have access to certent things or even baseball events, HECK EVEN THE BLOODY LIBRARY FOR MONTHS! All because they thought I would cause problems. The teachers would always embarrass me in front of other classes when they tried to take us to regular classes but they have to be with us at all times. One point one of the fights I had with a teacher lead to her trying to convince me that I was like the other special ed kids and tried to use my personality as the main reason why I can't be normal for half an hour, but I think she wants me to stay because I overheard something about special eds being paid more with the more students they have in their class. After 2 and a half years of mental pain and emotional suffering, I had to be transferred to a different school. Instead of my dad doing the meeting to get me in there, I decided to do it instead my self. After that I was put into regular classes and actually started learning, and made a few friends. And I actually felt like I was treated as a person for once in the past 2 and a half years by teachers. I felt like I could actually talk to people. Which I was scared to do, but did it anyways. Glad I graduated from a better school that actually tries to teach me things.
I am inspired by the likes of your precious kind.
I am honoured to make your acquaintance, Soldier.
I'm glad I grew up in a good, well-funded school district, and as such, never really had issues to this degree.
I still find it infuriating that bullshit like this is still common in schools, even if I can't fully relate.
another reason to relate to scout even more !!
The bullying situation is still going on and i only have fun when im with my friends in art club
Everyone just thinks im weird and decides to go out of their way to harass me when im doing nothing???
I wanna go to a new school but at the same time i dont 😭😭😭
My high school life was okay but nothing fun happened to me much cause I was (and still am) an introvert. Had some friends still long distance so I wasn't able to see them much. Other then my old friend Frank becoming a jock for the years until he mature, didn't get bullied much.
Became a B Honor student and had decent teachers, the food was pretty good though the rectangle pizzas were a bit stiff until they switched them for more delicious triangle pizzas.
School life was okay at best, better then having to deal with the problems an adult has to anyday
Okay...holy shit....where do I even begin? Oh yeah! WHAT KIND OF UNHOLY CRUEL AND BATSHIT INSANE THING DID THAT GUY/GAL HAD TO GO TROUGH?!?!?!? Like JESUS I tought my school had bully problem but LORD HELP ME I WAS WRONG!!
I am so SO sorry for you mate for having to live trough this Cantina....
I hope you are in a better enviroment with better people.
I kind of relate to scout ; TLDR - for around 5 months I was called names and was picked on for the smallest things when I was only minding my business.
So most of the people in my year (year = grade) made fun of me and since I was introverted and had forgotten how to make friends mixed in with the fear that I might not even be worth talking to due to the thought that I have nothing interesting to say plus the fact that nearly every one isn't a good option to have for a friend or atleast someone to talk to during lunch as they were the people who had been picking on me, I was doomed to be on my own for most if not all of the time to the point where I became the quiet kid.I skipped school more often because of this.Later people tried to make me think they're the victim and it kind of succeeded because I started to overthink about how nice I was to other people but after thinking about it during class instead of paying attention, I had done nothing.I told the head of year after it started to get physical and luckily they were on my side and punished them.A few months later, the whole "extrovert adopts the introvert" thing happened, and I had found myself being part of a friend group I feel comfortable being in.Then the whole name calling thing had stopped by alot with only 1-3 people doing it.
I didn't suffer as much as the people in the comments but it was still a bit of a pain in the ass to deal with and I don't want to go through it again. And there may be mistakes I made in this paragraph that I for some reason proofread too many times than I'd like to admit
Middle school and high school was the worse for me.
From getting beat up, to being shoved in the lockers, staying in a locker for nearly a week, being hated by all students teachers and faculty, and almost getting expelled for a *We just hate you* reason.
High school was a bit less physical and more verbal. The teachers would always glare at me for being smarter than they were, and all the students, even newer or older, had some way to threaten me if I didn't give all the answers or help them on SATs. I got pure Fs on my report card one time because I exposed the principal for stealing money from school funding AND parents with new students to waste on nightlife things. These parents were being robbed in plain view because a simple credit card scam worked.
I'm glad it's over, though. I'm doing more than better and I even have a singular best friend.
This video made me think of horrible days and how stronger I got because of it. Normally I would leave a funny haha joke but this is a good reminiscent. Thanks
At one point during middle school, I was accused of stealing a bag of pistachios that apparently belonged to someone else. Any food left unguarded out in the open is fair game to be taken. As punishment, I had to spend a lunch period in the school office and was told to apologize.
fun video concept, love hearing your interpretation of the characters in these situations. keep up the good work!
I never thought anyone would ever talk about themselves this personally over the Internet.
Spy's story could be one of the biggest F's in the chat ever
I- wasn't expecting that, though I can't say I was bullied throughout school. I can say that I am friends with people who have, I'm glad that people here feel open enough to talk and discuss about shit school lives
I kinda feel bad for spy at the end. He was venting his frustration to his friends only for them to walk away from him. Sad
I had a good time at Chelsea high school. may not be the best, but still had good memories. I made drawings for my friends and teachers after or during class and hang out with them because they were nice people as I am nice to them.
the thing i hated most about school was whenever people defend themselves against bullies they got punished not the bullies and the reason bullies get off with only a slap on the wrist is mostly because most of there parents donate a lot of money to the schools...
Ngl, by the end of high school, things started to clear up for me, but middle school was hell on earth. I was constentally made fun of and the rumours that where spread about me cause me to break down IN FRONT IF THE GOSSIPERS multiple times. My “friends” stopped me from doing anything about it bc they would be kicked out of the circle. To make it worse, people would blame annonomus bulling (there was a problem with cyber bullying in my school) on me. And when the school got shot up, I took the fucking blame for it. According to the rumours I have been expelled for everything you can think of at least three times. I fucking hate school so much.
honestly sounds like hell on earth. The only reasons why i hate school is that it's boring, it's got an outdated system being used, and essays. DEAR GOD ESSAYS. Those things singlehandedly made me fail my first year AND be the first one in my family to fail despite me being one who usually passes with flying colors. i was virtual that year. But, once again, nowhere fuckin near your shit experience.
Yikes. That's awful. Hope you're doing well now. No one deserves to be blamed for something that awful.
I'm 24 now but I really can't remember much from my school years, only a few vague memories come to mind. For whatever reason I felt like I didn't really 'exist' in school. I was quiet, so quiet that even my friend group would forget I was there sometimes. I admit I seemed like I really was nobody, nothing interesting to say or add, just a walking blank personality. I was part of the 'nerd' group so I got picked on a bit but nothing too bad. About a week ago a couple mates and I were looking over the names from our Leavers hoodies and while they could distinctly remember over 95% of the names I could barely remember 5% of them.
It doesn't bother me now, the past is irrelevant to me and I've grown a lot since then. Who I was then doesn't exist anymore, who I was a year ago doesn't exist, who I am only exists in the now, the present. I am constantly learning more about myself each day and becoming better for it. Easier said than done of course but the fact remains that the past does not define the present or the future.
Perhaps I am naïve though, I haven't experienced heartbreak or any major loss of anything. My emotional health has never really been tested.
Oh apologies I've rambled on now haven't I?
I love how blunt he is at the disclaimer part
I’m completely with Scout on this discussion. School life for me was average. I didn’t really get bullied in elementary or anything, still had friends and had a great time. Middle school was a challenge though, I was bothered a lot by annoying brats and had to deal with the weird kids. Some doofus even pushed me down to the floor one time and tried to choke me. I was so pissed that day at him, that we both went to the office for this and he apologized, but I’m glad as hell I won’t ever see him again. I never forgave him for that. Still finished middle school with a bang, but high school has been kind of troubling for me, especially with Covid. I never had any friends, well colleagues, but I still had no friends. I was always busy with work every single day. Some of the teachers I experienced didn’t seem good to me. Back in January, I even was accused of trying to hit a girl when I had no frikin intention to do so and no part of my body was raised to do it. I was just messing around and being myself, when some prick told me that I was making people uncomfortable and to sit down. She must’ve had reported me too, cause the teacher had one of those talks with me after school, and from there, the student who reported me almost ruined my social reputation and I never forgave her ever again and I never dared to want to talk to her again. I would insult her behind her back out of anger, even when she is in view. I’m heading into senior year, and I just want to get high school over with. You’re not the only one, Scout. I feel ya buddy.
My favorite thing about school?
Getting out of that hell hole
I have no idea why but for some reason someone was either stealing or breaking the stall doors in the bathrooms at my high school. Also there was never any FRIGGIN PAPER TOWELS.
That was cool and intresting
Yea my most extreme school story was when my bully was punching me on the bus I had been dealing with it for months so I was done at that point and so I grabbed his head smashed it into the metal bar in the middle of the windows like 8 times before the bus driver snapped me back to my senses and we went to the principles the next day, he started it so he got in trouble more but I still got detention for going a bit overboard, I think was justified since I had bruises and marks all over my arm making my parents think I was doing it to myself. That’s my story so take that from 7th grade me
I should mention I tried being a pacifist and telling teachers but no one believed me until the bus driver turned that footage in and they realized they were dumb.
8:06 idk if it’s just me but hearing all of the team members say “WTF” is just kinda funny
i would have offerd him a hug and a drink i may not know pain like that but i can feel it and understand it.
Man the things they said makes a lot of sense because school was a hell hole really and plus it was sad it was not even safe for no one just because you just try defending yourself and they go out Scott free and yourself getting all the blame and talk crap it was indeed a horrible feeling
I think if it was to be accurate with TF2 lore and the setting. most characters would have had pretty different backgrounds since a lot of them come from different countries. I went into a massive rabbit hole about it as well.
-Scout: probably had to hear a lot of anti-communist propaganda considering he was probably in school during the 1950's. Most likely a dropout due to his general delinquency. He also mentions how he grew up in a rough area in Boston in the Meet The Scout trailer. It's also cannon that he built up his agility from outrunning bullies so it's likely he was picked on by larger kids, including his own brothers.
-Soldier: probably went to some shanty midwestern schoolhouse during the great depression. Maybe he graduated from high school, but it's hard to tell since his canonical decline in intelligence occurred via lead poisoning which could've been before or after high school.
-Pyro: [REDACTED]
Demoman: Since he was raised in Scottland and is implied to be at least over 30, may have had a point during his school years during the Battle of Britain in which Scottland was subjected to 500 bombing attacks from the German Luftwaffe. Probably would've been discriminated against for being a Black in a place where everyone is pasty gingers. Also him loosing his eye as a kid probably messed with him a lot.
Heavy: Heavy is rumored to be around his late 40's early 50's so he would've been born around the time of the Russian Civil War. Since his family was imprisoned and sent to a gulag due to Heavy's father being a member of the white army, he probably spent a lot of his early years in prison. It's cannon that he also has a degree in Russian literature so he maybe got that degree after he and his family escaped prison.
Engineer: I think Engineer probably had a better than average upbringing compared to the rest of the mercs. He most likely excelled in school due to his 11 science PhDs. Though he was probably picked on in school for being a bookworm and for being short.
Medic: While Valve has explicitly stated that his age is "unknown" though he's speculated to be between 45 to 50 years old. So he was probably born shortly after WW1 and had a really crappy childhood during Weimar Republic (I'm not going to state how this upbringing affected his potential political views for obvious reasons) but probably was gifted enough to go to a good school and learn a lot about medicine. Though he could've also come from a wealthy family and didn't have to deal with the economic misery like the average German during that time.
Sniper: We do know that he spent a lot of his days alone during recess hiding up in trees because he felt different from all of the other kids. So we know for sure he was a loner in his younger years and still is as an adult.
Spy: He was a really interesting one to look into due to his canonical relationship to Scout. I speculated he was born in the late 20's so he grew up with the great depression, France's political crisis in the mid to late 30s, followed by the German occupation of France in WW2. It would've been 1944 by the time Spy turned 18. So it's safe to say Spy grew up in a really bad place. Hell, he could've joined the French resistance during WW2 as a teenager. Though since Spy has a lot of expensive things alongside his dapper manner, he could've also come from a wealthy family and not have had to deal with the depression. But it is very likely that WW2 would've caused a ton of issues for Spy and potentially turned his high school years on it's head regardless of his wealth.
The lore of TF2 does not apply here.
Public bathrooms... nightmares those places are.
The strangest public bathroom story I have was in Elementary school when someone SOMEHOW dropped a whole tomato into the urinal. To this day, I don't know who did it, how, or why.
Reminds me of a recent story I had in school is when some chewing gum wrappers were in the toilet. I would have go to the urinal instead, and I do not know who did it.
@@v88box21 reminds me of the time, someone, for some reason, taped (with clear tape) like 70 pennies to the toilet? Just all over it. I have no idea why.
School wasn’t fun for me ether and it got worse when they found out I was autistic
Someone once managed to steal a sink at my Highschool…….no I’m not kidding.
Must've been a "devious lick"
Realistically, my highschool experience was pretty generic and boring, but how in my senior year, the people are getting more aggravating and annoying than ever before, needless to say I won’t miss this school and I’m happy that I get to start a new life in college
For me, High school was... not good. In freshman year, i was able to put all my emotion into a writing assigment. That assignment was interpreted as a threat, and that teacher wanted me thrown in jail (which would ruin my life if i managed to survive. A criminal record of threatening a teacher would bar me from most jobs). My mother, being the only person who tried to understand my autism, managed to prove that i wasn't a monster. So they sent me to "therapy" (rehab for an addiction that they caused because this newfangled technology is at fault and not the outdated and oppressive public schooling system). I only had 1 friend before that. Afterwards word got out, rumors spread, and everyone who heard started avoiding me due to the former principal's narrative (heard he stepped down because of the basketball coach's actions involving students... and I was probably his next target). And at that "therapy", I met the only woman I've ever fallen in love with. The last day we saw each other was the day I wanted to tell her how I felt. I never did because I felt that She was too good for someone like me. I realized that she probably loved me as well, and not a day went by since then where i don't regret my silence. Now I can't muster up the ability to talk to anyone in person to the point where I've grown extremely distant to my own family, while i knowingly indulge in self-destructive habits because I lack the strength to end this misery.
My childhood, and my school life in particular, is a big reason why I'm in trauma counseling now. I was punished for everything in school. I got punished for having emotions, expressing those emotions, trying to fit in, not fitting in, being bullied, becoming the bully and basically just for existing. I entered the public school system with a target on my back because I'm autistic. They forced me to undergo conformity training, which they called "social skills group". When I told the school psychologist I was struggling, I was gaslit, threatened with expulsion and accused of crying wolf for attention. And they swept it all under the rug.
As an autistic gamer, I can definitely say high school and middle school sucked.
But it gets way better in college. I've never had a bigger friend group than right now!
So, don't despair guys, it gets better 👍
I have autism too, but I thrived because I had help!
Same here. And lucky for me, I and my mom found a college school that actually has something that I like and is interested in. All I needed is some help with some work and I'm good to go with the rest of it.
NonParel is the name I think. Check it out if you want to make games or do online art. The clubs are nice too.
Im currently in secondary school (middle school) and im going to year 9/grade 8. i have autism too and its hard sometimes but its a bit easier compared to when i was younger.
Great video that brought up some moments I can't relate to more with ... unfortunately
Though I wish you brought pyro in Though pyro would be for humor since you couldn't understand him yet everyone else could so it makes sense you didn't since the video was a bit for serious
I was kept in a trash barrel in the resource room at my elementary school for every school day after a while. There was nothing for me to do but read books. I was just one more 10K per head for the teachers. So long as I was there, they didn't care about teaching at all. Add to that the fact I was autistic and would sometimes get overstimulated and make a break for it, and they would chase me down and haul me back like a common criminal, pain compliance hold and everything. My folks tried to fight, but the school bureaucracy was too freaking big.
On Wednesday at the end of English class I was called a nazi by two people. I'm not a Nazi I'm an American.
Reminds me of this one kid in my English class during freshman year of High School. He was an a**. He called the teacher a racial slur at least once (she’s Latina) and another class he played loud music in the middle of her discussion on his red Dr. Dre Speaker. One time, we did a project where we had to do a skit based off the story we read about this chess prodigy. For some reason, he left his group and walked over to mine. He started moving the pieces when we were trying to rehearse. I told him to go away (making the ‘’shoo” hand motion) and then he called me nazi. Then his group mates found him and more or less dragged him back to their rehearsals. Few weeks later, he called me a terrorist because I greeted my friend with finger guns (it was a thing I used to do a lot back then).
After that year though, I don’t know what happened but I never saw him again.
I still remember getting verbally bullied and being emotionally manipulated V (not real name) ever since primary school, until in secondary school.
Even though V has changed, I still feel uncomfortable being with them. I hate that they're still here, even if we're in different classes now.
That could explain why scout buys a lot of lime paint
Something similar happened to me in middle school, nothing serious just mild bullying, but by the time bullying had started I had already been accustomed to the shitfest that were toxic players and some cod lobbies so it wasn't that bad since I was already jaded by them. At the end i just had enough and told my parents who dealt with the situation.
i relate to scout to the point that i know that going to the room to play video games is actually sitting or standing on one point of the room, think and then cry about everything
and later u play bc u got better ;)
I wonder how wonderful is Pyro's childhood
My childhood wasn’t bad, but it’s full of embarassing stories.
I don't think we even want to know what Pyro's school days were like...
I'm going to say, the childhood stories you guys made are very well done.
Even I had some empathy for the class.
I wish more videos like this were made
Talking about nerds reminds me of U.S Army Basic training. The Drill Sgts would call us nerds all the time at a sort of insult. Cut to the end where we have to do what is called the "End of cycle test". When it was done our Company had the highest score within the whole battalion. I was like "Huh guess we are nerds."
It would have been funny If pyro was there and tried to tell them his/her past, but they couldn't understand pyro
Sniper never went to school, he was raised in the Australian outback.
Remember, If you were bullied in school, remember that you will most likely be successful, and that your former bully will probably be bagging groceries the rest of their life. That or prison.
I can relate the most with spy and scout.
Same.
Me too (this is why I now called by name "giyuu"
DAMN, now I feel bad for Cantina.
How did I not see this? GOD I JUST HAD THE BEST IDEA I need a podcast, with people that sound like the tf2 mercenarys, GOD that would be golden
