Bullying in school can be a lasting impact, I know from experience, I was bullied my whole life and eventually it surfaced by having a panic attack and now diagnosed with clinical depression and general anxiety disorder and complex PTSD, I'm 66 now and it still haunts me to this day
Sorry you dealt with that. I recommend CBT. Also read Gabor Mate, and consider some newer therapies, including psilocybin, ketamine infusion, and even MDMA. The world is a rough place. Don't take it personally.
I’m sorry. Same here. I was bullied but even worse I had to watch my friend, who sat behind me in homeroom bullied horribly also. He 👦🏽🔫 one weekend and the news didn’t hit me until my father took me to the funeral, and had to walk me up to the casket. I wasn’t prepared for what I saw. This was not my friend.. his head was horribly distorted. and what’s even worse??? His bullies and tormenters were there, crying their eyes out and talking about him as if they were his best friend. It was the sickest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
@@ryanlynch290Hi what’s CBTand psylosiben ? i’ve done ketamine once. And MDMA a bunch of times…. MDMA, of course worked WONDERS but I was always worried that it would suck out all my dopamine and serotonin to the point where I would have nothing left.
So glad they released the original version in 2020. It shows the true story. Most people believed he shot up his class and don’t even try to find out the true story
I always heard it as he was told he needed a tardy slip and instead went and got a gun and shot himself infront of everyone. Rumor had it he apologized to the teacher before he pulled the trigger
@@brittneyhollowell7962 yea he was supposed to go to the office and get a tardy slip, instead he went and got a gun and came back and told the teacher I got what you really want
Rest in Peace to all the wounded children who were whittled down in the concrete wilderness; unable to find comfort in a cold sea of human cruelty and indifference.
Its sucks how some child really have it rough. I feel this is a good occasion to thank those golden kids/teens who stand up against bullying, because they exists, And they absolutely save lifes.
Didn’t know that the song was based on a real boy. I hate and love that song equally because it brings up memories of the worst days of my life. Sometimes I wish I could go back and tell myself that this too will pass and there are better days coming. We are so vulnerable as kids, yet we can cause mayhem to each other. Rest in Peace, Jeremy.
"Trying to forget this, trying to erase this from the blackboard..." is the deepest and haunting part of the song. It always gets me in my feelings. 💔 RIP Jeremy.
Such a sad story. Surely Jeremy was an artistic and sensitively creative person. What might he have become? One thing is certain, Eddie's lyrics do honor this child's brief life and contribute positively to a broader conversation that is extremely important and very necessary. Are we still not paying attention? It seems as though no one saw the pain that Jeremy was in.
I'm on the Spectrum myself. Hate me if you want. But I feel like I'm speaking for ALL. Society only cares about mental health if your a veteran or abuse substances. If your not your never going to get the understanding or help you need. It's very sad and not fair. But that's what Society stands for.
“Not everyone is a good person. It’s up to you to be mentally strong and use me as a support system. Because no one loves you more than I do. The only person close is your mama. Never be weak minded, and is me and your mama at any time. We are always here!!” ~~~my father’s advice ~~~my advice to my daughter and son
as a Jeremy myself, who's an alumnus of Stoneman Douglas High School.. who learned about this song walking the halls of the future site of the worst high school shooting in history.. this song will always send chills down my spine
This is the saddest thing I’ve ever heard. His actions proved he was a good hearted boy, because he didn’t hurt anyone else. It may have been before school shootings were common, but he didn’t try to hurt anybody.
"Jeremy spoke in class today..." His memory, talent & very tragic but unfortunate story, echoes decades later. May he rest in eternal peace indeed..."never to be erased from the Blackboard." 🤔🤔
Thank you for posting this. Jeremy is one of my favorite songs ever written and it's hits home for a lot of people. Espcailly those who it's about and those who are still going through this. It's so important to talk about this very serious issue.
Combining the elements of Jeremy's story with Eddie's story sends a strong message: be careful what you say to who, for that person may end up being the next Jeremy.
This world truly tries to beat down the most beautiful souls. Don't let it. Keep treading water, keep your head above the filth, and eventually it gets better. It's not weakness to need help. It's ignorance and pride that keep people from getting help for themselves or their children. I was suicidal for most of my life, but after i attempted and failed in the 6th grade (my classmates were "kind" enough to tell me how to do it), I heard a voice telling me I had a purpose for being who I am in this world, and I should never attempt this again. So I didn't, until after I gave birth to my oldest daughter when I was 30. Motherhood was proving too difficult an experience, and I figured my daughter would be better off without me in the world, dragging her down with my depression. But the lock to the ammunition had been changed, and I couldn't get to it. It devastated me at the time. So I put on my "I'm fine, in fact, I'm hilarious" mask, but my little brother and husband saw right through it. I was 31 when I started my 3rd attempt with therapy. The prior 2 times were complete jokes. Not every therapist jives with every client, and some people shouldn't be therapists at all. Third time was the charm though, and I met an amazing therapist who helped me lay down a lifetime of trauma. Then she helped me connect that I was on the autism spectrum, had sensory processing issues, and ADHD Inattentive Presenting Moderate. So I began realizing there were tools and vocabulary to help me overcome the obstacles I faced! My parents were wrong; I didn't need to "grow a thicker skin" and "figure it out". Other people a lot smarter than me specializing in Autism and ADHD have already figured out a lot of things, I just needed to learn them for myself! It's been almost 2 years, but I'll never forget having a breakthrough that forever shifted my perspective! I have had no suicidal ideation, and no depression since that breakthrough. It's so freeing. But it took me 31 years to get to therapy and have a good therapist. And it's been 6 years of therapy and testing and figuring out what works. I'm almost 38 now, and I'm healthier than I've ever been because mentally, I now know it's okay not to be okay, and there are resources. If the first two providers you see are total wastes of time and money, don't give up the search! When I think of what life for myself, my husband, and my children would be like if I was still trying to muddle through on my own, it makes me so grateful I didn't wait any longer. Life is messy, and beautiful, and traumatizing, and healing. It's worth it to stay here learning until one day, we're naturally promoted on to the next plain of existence. I believe, and know now from experiences I've had personally, that we one day get to see our lives from another perspective. All the injustices of this world, all the pain and sorrow will be understood by us, and we'll be able to learn more. No more mysteries. Sure knowledge. I think the tragedy of suicide is that a beautiful soul is too tired from the battle to hold on for that day to come naturally. Hold on. Reach for knowledge. It does get better. And remember: suicide doesn't end the pain, it just passes it along to someone else. Who do you love? Shield them from that pain, by holding onto hope that there is some higher purpose for it and one day you'll understand (& read the book, "The Body Keeps the Score". It's a tough read as repressed memories come up, but it's years of mental health and neurological research about what we know currently about mental health).
I was tripped out when I finally found out it was based on real life events, I remember when they used to play the video on mtv all the time and at that time I didn't know that
Yes- me as well...I always figured it was a fictional song about a kid who was bullied and shot up his class but didn't know it was a true story of suicide...crazy.
I knew a few people in High School (90-94) that ended their lives too soon, even know one I’d met a few years after High School who’s memorial I went to yesterday. Jeremy resonated with me the first time I heard it, gave a different perspective than “Insight” by the Dead Kennedys on the same subject.
Can relate to how he felt, junior high was the worst three years of my life and I fantasized about doing what that kid did in front of class myself. Children at that age can be so cruel and heartless it drives people to do what he did.
Kids are cruel. If you are the object of their cruelty and are trapped in a school room with those kids every day for years on end, it wears you down. If home is not a place of safety or your parents are so caught up in their work and themselves that they are oblivious to the side of their own child that they do not know, then where can you go? Who can you turn to? It seems at the time, there is no one. The mother in the video thinks she loved her son and he was fine but she really didn't know him at all "I was in shock" she said. His anger built and he was dying within. He dreamed of revenge and it boiled down to either killing the bullies or himself. Sadly he chose himself. I wonder if any of those kids, teachers, parents, ever realized the part they played in this poor kid's death? I was Jeremy. I somehow managed to hold on to a shred of sanity and survive. I suffered in silence until I could graduate and escape. What happens to you in those years when you are figuring out who you are has a very profound long term effect. If you are a sensitive kid like Jeremy (and like I was) you internalize this and think "there must be something wrong with me." As an adult I have managed to overcome it and some might even say thrive. This all happened to me years ago, but I will bear the scars of those healed wounds until the day I die. Be kind. You never can really know what may be going on in another person's life. One friendly gesture may make the difference between living or dying.
I knew there was something up with pearl jam while adding to my Spotify playlist today. I heard of pearl jam on the radio throughout the years but never followed them. After listening and reading their lyrics on Spotify, I thought the lead singer really had some MH issues...and ya know, many times they will express their feelings through songs...ex. Chester Bennington of Linkin Park (RIP)....the lyrics of 2 songs made we want to search the meaning behind pearl jam and then this, blew my mind....you're never too old to learn....especially through music!
glad you found pearl jam :P go listen to their other songs too. They're one of the best. Check out the song Black :) (especially the MTV unplugged version)
I love Eddie bro you don't get real music like this anymore I like how you know back then we sang about stuff we was going through and stuff that's going on in the world today you don't get that I still get goosebumps whenever I listen to Hunger Strike and black
I’ve heard this song lots of times but never knew what the words even were let alone what the song was even about!! I am 62 & just looked up the lyrics & watched the story behind the song…all I can say is it SHOCKED & SADDENED me to hear what it’s really about‼️ SO VERY SAD!!🥹 R.I.P Jeremy
R.I.P Jeremy...Pearl Jam, and others who profited from a song that blindly placed blame on the parents, owe family and friends of his an apology. Cruel, mindless arrogance.
I love this series alot. There should be more of this. If any song I think that should be looked at, it's "Janie's Got a Gun" by Aerosmith and "Miracle Man" by Ozzy Osborne
I completely understand the families feelings and I would be upset too. However in this situation I would say to the family. your grief and emotions are not being disregarded, but at the end of the day this issue is bigger than Jeremy. At the time this happened, this certainly wasn't the first time something like this had occurred, it wasn't as common, but it did happen. I know this is no solace to his family, but at least Jeremy didn't take anybody else with him, cause now a days they are killing in mass numbers. Now Jeremy had legit mental health issues. I have battled mental illness, I was able to beat it, but not everyone can. Unfortunately if someone has made up their mind to end their life and are serious about it, there's not much you can do to stop them. I don't care if you chain this person to a bed and have family and friends watch over them, if they are determined enough they will find a way. So the message is more important than any one individual.
@@VictorLugosiwhy do you feel it's a dumb thing to say? Mental health (& the stigma that still persists around it, especially in the United States) is still very much a relevant issue bigger than the grief of one set of parents because suicides and mass shooting murder/suicide rampages are spreading like a contagion. I feel your dismissal is not adding value to the conversation, but maybe I'm misunderstanding. Or maybe you are someone who easily dismisses anything that doesn't fit into your perspective of reality. Still, I feel this comment you left is caustic on a thread where sensitivity and kindness should be important.
hollywood does the same thing, most of cinderella man was a load of shit, they made the villain out the be a vicious monster, when it reality he was a great guy
As a public school survivor, though I was never near a shooting, I can see both sides. I feel for all the victims. And everyone involved was a victim, even the shooters. I know personally their pain. I wish they knew it's always darkest just before the dawn, and if they could have held on a little longer, their sun would shine again. And that of their targets would have continued to. It's so sad that we see so narrowly, and can't see past our own pain, that we feel we have to make everyone feel ot too.
My condolences go out to Jeremy's Family, friends and colleagues, and I wish the same to the family and loved ones of Trevor Wilson for his unfortunate incident in Puerto Rico. May God keep them and welcome them into his divine grace. If you allow me to comment and appeal to all those who suffer in silence and/or who have problems of insecurity, self-esteem or lack of self-love, know that no one is alone and you should talk to your parents, or if that is impossible, open up with your educators whether at school, church or university, as there is always some entity predisposed to help and assist you personally and in secrecy. Finally the "Apple of discord" or opening "pandora's box";for those subscribers who are averse to freedom of expression: As for me, instead of these banal and subversive "gender study classes" (or its derivatives - ie: "woke" subjects),should be mandatory classes with the motto of "Experience in society" and instead of promoting "wokeism" should allocate those funds and the respective staff for classes on civic behavior, interpersonal relationships and principles and fundamentals of ethics and morals. we would all be much happier, soft, peaceful and kind...
It's interesting to me, because most "woke" classes DO teach empathy for the realities and situations of other people. It has been my experience that when someone uses the term "woke" to describe a situation, they are essentially saying, "that doesn't apply to my experience, and so I'm going to invalidate it by just shrugging it off as being 'woke' so I don't have to think any more about it". The realities of this broken world we live in is that there are broken homes and broken people. Those of us who love the Healer of all wounds know that Jesus Christ is the only one that can bind up the wounds and heal the broken hearts. But when someone has a divergent experience or reality, and then faith leaders weaponize doctrine against them, I can understand why religion triggers some people. Please consider seeking out different perspectives. The injustices of this world, just like the gold and glitter of this world, stay in this world and don't follow us beyond the grave. We only know what we know, until we know more. And if the purpose of this life is to learn, then we can either reach for knowledge or have it beaten into us. One of those ways is a lot less painful than the other.
This song is still so ahead of it’s time . This is years before Columbine. I don’t remember any other school shootings before that . R.I.P. to all those we lost that fateful day
David Pearl was his name. He was a 5th grader. He was a loner. During recess, he found a big chunk of broken concrete, and held it over his head. Everybody gathered around him, as he acted like a psycho, screaming for the other students to back away from him. I stood by, and watched, thinking, what an ass. The bell rang, signalling the end of recess. The SOB, inadvertently, dropped that heavy chunk of rock right on my toe. After that, he just walked away. His audience had lost interest, and started he back to class. There can be different outcomes to this story. And, there are a lot of Jeremys out there. Jeremy lives in every one...
Jeremy did it in front of everyone because he was scared of being forgotten and wanted everyone to remember that there was once a very sad boy called Jeremy FOREVER
This didn't capture anything. It was cruel and heartless to add to the pain of family and friends. The band knew nothing about the people they based the song on.
I think it's a very sad thing what he did but maybe we'll make these kids realise that bullying can lead to some really really serious consequences for the children that have to go through it and I hope it stays in their f******ever hope it's just there and they can never get rid of it like I hope they feel bad forever just the guilt It's not just a students is it is also the teachers that done nothing because obviously they don't think was a issue
Hurts my heart I wish I could take all these teens preteens children who experience. No love not trusted not knowing their value could be a granmum I'd show them love and acceptance. And we would have a grate time they would be safe loved and made to feel important. Much love to all my my grandkids every where
I just looked this up because I was friends with Brittany in college. Holy shit, didn't expect to see her in this video. What a sad day. I'm building a suicide prevention app. It's such a scourge on society.
Achei uma coisa interessante no final... os alunos aparecem na sala como c tivessem c protegendo, com marcas d sangue nas roupas... entende-se q Jeremy os matou... mas pq os corpos ñ aparecem largados sobre as mesas ou no chão?!!.... pq estariam sem vida!... congelados vc pode vr a angústia nos olhos deles, sabendo q iriam morrer... o atirador c deleitou no medo deles pra fazer sua vingança... Outra coisa tbm... apesar d c vr sangue, ñ vemos buracos d bala... Qndo c mata alguém, ñ é só qm morreu q fica ensanguentado, mas tbm espirra sangue em qm matou... Ou seja... qm matou Jeremy, foram os alunos e, depois, Jeremy matou eles... Todos perderam no fim da estória 😪😪☠☠
The people who control the actual YT channel for Pearl Jam changed the description to try saying the song was about school shootings, Gun violence, etc. Even though it’s about bullying, neglect, depression, and suicide. It’s disgusting how people have tried turning the song into something it’s not. It’s disingenuous to turn it into something that has nothing to do with what the song was made for and about. It tries saying guns are the problem and gets people to believe he shot up his classroom.
I don't,it's mostly about Eddie's life but we honestly do not know what was going on in home and his mother should have known something was wrong or it could've been a mk ultra thing like they've been doing my whole generation. But I know Jeremy will be in a better place when our lord comes back which seems like it's going to be really soon from what the Bible says it's happening soon probably in the next 2 to 4 years
Teachers make a difference why she didn't reach up to him instead of sending him to go get an admittance note. Children are cruel, too. They need to lecture or have seminars with students and parents about suicide prevention. All he wanted was to fit in ?.
My mom went to Richardson high school, he knew the kid personally, AND had the same English teacher (different period though) she heard the gun, and salary she knew what it meant… R.I.P Jeremy
Yeah and i bet People in School were glad he did it Who did they mess with Next One less Weird kid for The Girls to Reject 😂 I bet they were releaved he was gone thats how People are their Afraid of what they don't understand ive had my share of all that
Really Eddie....this is so evil of you to profit from.a child's depression from bullying.More sorrow inflicted on family and friends.They will forever be haunted by this song.WHERES YOUR COMPASSION!!??May be your child someday.

People are so cruel and don't realize that their words hurt. Just be kind. One person, being kind to this kid could have changed everything.
Starting with his parents.
That's so true. Also, sometimes we just need to listen and let someone vent.
Rest in Peace to all the wounded children who were whittled down in the concrete wilderness; unable to find comfort in a cold sea of human cruelty and indifference.
Your words are deeply profound, greatness is at hand, your beauty is at a magical level, thank you🙏🙏🙏

Most of it is about Brian who shot up his oceanography class where Eddy Vetter went to school at
"Just be a good human." The best advice my dad's ever given me.
“Not everyone is a good person. It’s up to you to be mentally strong and use me as a support system. Because no one loves you more than I do. The only person close is your mama. Never be weak minded, and is me and your mama at any time. We are always here!!”

I knew there was something up with pearl jam while adding to my Spotify playlist today. I heard of pearl jam on the radio throughout the years but never followed them. After listening and reading their lyrics on Spotify, I thought the lead singer really had some MH issues...and ya know, many times they will express their feelings through songs...ex. Chester Bennington of Linkin Park (RIP)....the lyrics of 2 songs made we want to search the meaning behind pearl jam and then this, blew my mind....you're never too old to learn....especially through music!
Mh?
glad you found pearl jam :P go listen to their other songs too. They're one of the best.
Check out the song Black :) (especially the MTV unplugged version)
@@Gvno347 She means mental health :)
May your precious soul rest in peace Jeremy!
I love this song so much though, its like a dark song but beautiful at the same time
I love Eddie bro you don't get real music like this anymore I like how you know back then we sang about stuff we was going through and stuff that's going on in the world today you don't get that I still get goosebumps whenever I listen to Hunger Strike and black
Fun fact: actor Barry Watson graduated from the same high school. He was a junior at the time this happened.
Who is Barry Watson?
I’ve heard this song lots of times but never knew what the words even were let alone what the song was even about!! I am 62 & just looked up the lyrics & watched the story behind the song…all I can say is it SHOCKED & SADDENED me to hear what it’s really about‼️
SO VERY SAD!!🥹 R.I.P Jeremy
R.I.P Jeremy...Pearl Jam, and others who profited from a song that blindly placed blame on the parents, owe family and friends of his an apology. Cruel, mindless arrogance.
I love this series alot. There should be more of this. If any song I think that should be looked at, it's "Janie's Got a Gun" by Aerosmith and "Miracle Man" by Ozzy Osborne
Great video mate, it did add quite a few details I didn't know about.
A sad story, tragic😔. But no mention of how the parents of Jeremy were not happy about the song.
I completely understand the families feelings and I would be upset too. However in this situation I would say to the family. your grief and emotions are not being disregarded, but at the end of the day this issue is bigger than Jeremy. At the time this happened, this certainly wasn't the first time something like this had occurred, it wasn't as common, but it did happen. I know this is no solace to his family, but at least Jeremy didn't take anybody else with him, cause now a days they are killing in mass numbers. Now Jeremy had legit mental health issues. I have battled mental illness, I was able to beat it, but not everyone can. Unfortunately if someone has made up their mind to end their life and are serious about it, there's not much you can do to stop them. I don't care if you chain this person to a bed and have family and friends watch over them, if they are determined enough they will find a way. So the message is more important than any one individual.
@@franklopez8235 it’s not bigger than Jeremy and that’s a dumb thing to say..
@@VictorLugosi it's about good vs evil.
@@VictorLugosiwhy do you feel it's a dumb thing to say? Mental health (& the stigma that still persists around it, especially in the United States) is still very much a relevant issue bigger than the grief of one set of parents because suicides and mass shooting murder/suicide rampages are spreading like a contagion.
I feel your dismissal is not adding value to the conversation, but maybe I'm misunderstanding. Or maybe you are someone who easily dismisses anything that doesn't fit into your perspective of reality. Still, I feel this comment you left is caustic on a thread where sensitivity and kindness should be important.
hollywood does the same thing, most of cinderella man was a load of shit, they made the villain out the be a vicious monster, when it reality he was a great guy
This song saved lives 🙌
As a public school survivor, though I was never near a shooting, I can see both sides. I feel for all the victims. And everyone involved was a victim, even the shooters. I know personally their pain. I wish they knew it's always darkest just before the dawn, and if they could have held on a little longer, their sun would shine again. And that of their targets would have continued to. It's so sad that we see so narrowly, and can't see past our own pain, that we feel we have to make everyone feel ot too.
Thank you for this. I never knew the backstory.
Your welcome I was glad to see this even though really sad 😔 RIP Jeremy Wade Delle .
Great! i would like more videos about Pearl Jam songs!
Great and respectful content! Thanks a lot.
My uncle went to the school 2 years before and my dad and uncle and aunt all grew up in Richardson Texas
This is really so sad, you never really know what’s in someone’s mind. 🙂😇
My condolences go out to Jeremy's Family, friends and colleagues, and I wish the same to the family and loved ones of Trevor Wilson for his unfortunate incident in Puerto Rico. May God keep them and welcome them into his divine grace.
If you allow me to comment and appeal to all those who suffer in silence and/or who have problems of insecurity, self-esteem or lack of self-love, know that no one is alone and you should talk to your parents, or if that is impossible, open up with your educators whether at school, church or university, as there is always some entity predisposed to help and assist you personally and in secrecy.
Finally the "Apple of discord" or opening "pandora's box";for those subscribers who are averse to freedom of expression:
As for me, instead of these banal and subversive "gender study classes" (or its derivatives - ie: "woke" subjects),should be mandatory classes with the motto of "Experience in society" and instead of promoting "wokeism" should allocate those funds and the respective staff for classes on civic behavior, interpersonal relationships and principles and fundamentals of ethics and morals. we would all be much happier, soft, peaceful and kind...
It's interesting to me, because most "woke" classes DO teach empathy for the realities and situations of other people. It has been my experience that when someone uses the term "woke" to describe a situation, they are essentially saying, "that doesn't apply to my experience, and so I'm going to invalidate it by just shrugging it off as being 'woke' so I don't have to think any more about it". The realities of this broken world we live in is that there are broken homes and broken people. Those of us who love the Healer of all wounds know that Jesus Christ is the only one that can bind up the wounds and heal the broken hearts. But when someone has a divergent experience or reality, and then faith leaders weaponize doctrine against them, I can understand why religion triggers some people.
Please consider seeking out different perspectives. The injustices of this world, just like the gold and glitter of this world, stay in this world and don't follow us beyond the grave. We only know what we know, until we know more. And if the purpose of this life is to learn, then we can either reach for knowledge or have it beaten into us. One of those ways is a lot less painful than the other.
Rip Jeremy my cousin
“Just like the day, like the day I heard” he’s basically remembering his own story that was close to the same as Jeremy’s
At first, im not a fan of pearl jam. But, jeremy song makes pearl jam be my number one favourite bands...
I remember when this happened
Too sad
RIP Angel AMEN Philadelphia USA 🇺🇲
This song is still so ahead of it’s time . This is years before Columbine. I don’t remember any other school shootings before that . R.I.P. to all those we lost that fateful day
Thanks, great video.
David Pearl was his name. He was a 5th grader. He was a loner. During recess, he found a big chunk of broken concrete, and held it over his head. Everybody gathered around him, as he acted like a psycho, screaming for the other students to back away from him. I stood by, and watched, thinking, what an ass. The bell rang, signalling the end of recess. The SOB, inadvertently, dropped that heavy chunk of rock right on my toe. After that, he just walked away. His audience had lost interest, and started he back to class. There can be different outcomes to this story. And, there are a lot of Jeremys out there. Jeremy lives in every one...
cool story bro
Interesting story, I believe it.
Rest easy Jeremy,
Good video, nicely done
Pretty sure bob and the boomtown rats with , “ I don’t like Monday’s?!
Jeremy did it in front of everyone because he was scared of being forgotten and wanted everyone to remember that there was once a very sad boy called Jeremy FOREVER
R.I.P JEARMY R. 2022
Some songs capture the heart of human interaction, good and bad 🖤
This didn't capture anything. It was cruel and heartless to add to the pain of family and friends. The band knew nothing about the people they based the song on.
Wow, didn't know this
I will sing this song w/utmost reverence from this day on.
well done story applause to you
Jeremy spoke in class today
I think it's a very sad thing what he did but maybe we'll make these kids realise that bullying can lead to some really really serious consequences for the children that have to go through it and I hope it stays in their f******ever hope it's just there and they can never get rid of it like I hope they feel bad forever just the guilt
It's not just a students is it is also the teachers that done nothing because obviously they don't think was a issue
This song impact to me
Feel sorry for his family😢❤
Spoke in class today.
Hurts my heart I wish I could take all these teens preteens children who experience. No love not trusted not knowing their value could be a granmum I'd show them love and acceptance. And we would have a grate time they would be safe loved and made to feel important. Much love to all my my grandkids every where
R.i.p. King Jeremy
i CRIED \
It did define his life so sad
what's the name of the jeremy acoustic cover at the end?
🙏🙏🙏
Which version of jeremy is playing at the end of the video?
Before this song ever happened, I dont like Monday's by the boom town rats also about a shooting at a school was made in the late 1970's.
😢❤🙏
So many Jeremy's living in this evil world dying without witnessing respect and love.
Good for Eddie to bring this to lifht
🙌🏼
i used to be a bully now im a teacher recocignize these kids try to help them with everything
I just looked this up because I was friends with Brittany in college. Holy shit, didn't expect to see her in this video. What a sad day.
I'm building a suicide prevention app. It's such a scourge on society.
Achei uma coisa interessante no final... os alunos aparecem na sala como c tivessem c protegendo, com marcas d sangue nas roupas... entende-se q Jeremy os matou... mas pq os corpos ñ aparecem largados sobre as mesas ou no chão?!!.... pq estariam sem vida!... congelados vc pode vr a angústia nos olhos deles, sabendo q iriam morrer... o atirador c deleitou no medo deles pra fazer sua vingança...
Outra coisa tbm... apesar d c vr sangue, ñ vemos buracos d bala...
Qndo c mata alguém, ñ é só qm morreu q fica ensanguentado, mas tbm espirra sangue em qm matou...
Ou seja... qm matou Jeremy, foram os alunos e, depois, Jeremy matou eles...
Todos perderam no fim da estória 😪😪☠☠
Had no idea Eddie Vedder was school shooting adjacent himself. Kind of creepy that was going on when he was in school
😢
The people who control the actual YT channel for Pearl Jam changed the description to try saying the song was about school shootings, Gun violence, etc.
Even though it’s about bullying, neglect, depression, and suicide. It’s disgusting how people have tried turning the song into something it’s not.
It’s disingenuous to turn it into something that has nothing to do with what the song was made for and about. It tries saying guns are the problem and gets people to believe he shot up his classroom.
Hopefully the family benefited somewhat from profits
I don't,it's mostly about Eddie's life but we honestly do not know what was going on in home and his mother should have known something was wrong or it could've been a mk ultra thing like they've been doing my whole generation. But I know Jeremy will be in a better place when our lord comes back which seems like it's going to be really soon from what the Bible says it's happening soon probably in the next 2 to 4 years
Teachers make a difference why she didn't reach up to him instead of sending him to go get an admittance note. Children are cruel, too. They need to lecture or have seminars with students and parents about suicide prevention. All he wanted was to fit in ?.
Eddie Shidder!
Something horrible was happening to that boy!! I'm certain he was not safe at home to talk about what was going on.
Does Jeremy's family get royalties?
The family was not happy at all with the video
My mom went to Richardson high school, he knew the kid personally, AND had the same English teacher (different period though) she heard the gun, and salary she knew what it meant… R.I.P Jeremy
Sadly*
That was a good video Right until they didn't even use pearl jam to sing the song
There must be a reason why he did it.
to end the pain and anger and loneliness.
@@marianyhc 😓
@Krisztian Papp I know but we can't turn a blind eye to the truth and reality even if it's unbearable.
Jeremy's grown up and become much worse He's called daily Jeremy
sobering
Yeah and i bet People in School were glad he did it Who did they mess with Next One less Weird kid for The Girls to Reject 😂 I bet they were releaved he was gone thats how People are their Afraid of what they don't understand ive had my share of all that
What's a pearl jam?
Pearl Jam is a grunge band from the 90s.
Thats right
Semen sandwich spread
@@mitchellmillard9350 🤣
@@mitchellmillard9350 I was thinking the same thing
Really Eddie....this is so evil of you to profit from.a child's depression from bullying.More sorrow inflicted on family and friends.They will forever be haunted by this song.WHERES YOUR COMPASSION!!??May be your child someday.
And now he's at rest..... Verbatim.
I wish I could of been there 🕊️
