One bullying stereotype I absolutely love is that "bullies just need your reaction, so just don't pay attention" which would be the first thing a teacher say as soon as you tell them that you're getting bullied
@@raindoset5408 The thing is that most of the time even the lack of emotions or reaction might be the most "fun" part about bullying you. You gotta cater and amuse them anyway as long as you don't stand up for yourself
I NEVER got the stereotype of the "Jocks" being huge meat-heads and bullies. Most of the Jocks I met in school were honestly pretty chill and sometimes big nerds themselves
I think it's probably bc the change in rules that jocks have keep a certain gpa in order to play sports. This is probably also where the stereotype of jocks "bullying nerds to do their hw" came from too.
I think this is a generational thing. I grew up in the 90s and witnessed a lot of bullying first-hand. Our gym teacher often left the class unsupervised, giving bullies free rein. I remember one of my friends being humiliated with a wedgie while everyone stood around laughing at him-there was no way he could fight back. While I never saw anyone get a swirlie or shoved into a locker, I experienced something similar when a guy kicked a bathroom stall door into me while I was using it, leaving a scar in the centre of my forehead. Most of the bullying I saw involved physical or cruel acts like throwing students into dumpsters or pelting them with plastic bottles filled with rocks. People were targeted for being perceived as nerds, especially if they liked fantasy or video games, so many hid their interests to avoid getting beaten up. I even knew a boy who was bullied because his dad had killed his mom. Things began to change after the Columbine High School massacre, when schools started taking bullying more seriously and enforcing stricter policies. But back then, it felt like anything went.
I remember we used to play rough games like bloody knuckles but with quarters placed inbetween your fingers, or do things to each other like surprise kick each other in the nads. At recess we would play sports but with a lot of rough housing, soccer but we constantly shove into each other, football but with tackling becoming full on wrestling. This was the 2000s, so not a lot of violent bullying, but we still found ways to mess with each other. There was a game (this one's actually more recent), where if tricked someone to look at you doing an OK sign below the knees, you could slap their neck as hard as you could. I dunno if kids still play these rough games now like we did.
Yeah. I'm really annoyed when people say "nobody acts like this". There are like 8 billion people, how do you know nobody acts like that? Or that people never acted like it in the past? Do you genuinely think that just because you experienced something one way it was the same for everyone else?
I used to get bullied early on in my school life, a few years later, I've grown quite a lot and started working out a little. Also made some few good friends, albeit in questionable social circles and kinda led to me to smoke pot - BUT! We did share a common hatred for bullies, either through first-hand experience or due to bullied siblings (the younger sister of a friend tried end*ng herself, though she made it and got better in the years after). Essentially, during the few years left at school we became scourges of any bullies at school and whenever we saw someone unable to defend themself. I personally kept this trait, I won't ever pretend I don't see shjt playing out, nor will I ever just be a passive bystander when someone weaker gets pushed down without clear reason. I hate how so many people seem to be content with shjt like that happening.
Depends on where you're from. In a backwoods hillbilly redneck area, that kind of thing gets the victim laughed at, that and getting your pants pulled down. Wearing a belt is usually a good deterrent for getting pants pulled down, cause the effort and where they'd have to put their hands would get the bully looked at weird. Speaking from personal experience, growing up in a very conservative redneck area where we have more churches than gas stations, grocery stores, and schools combined. That is no exaggeration, I actually counted at one point.
The biggest misinterpretation of bullying in movies is that the bully is usually alone, has no friends, is often fat, ugly or both, and definitely unpopular. In reality, bullying requires power structures. Most of the time, it is a group of popular kids bullying an outsider.
This may sound pretty ironic, but a bully at my school was fat, big, ugly and had no friend group. He spat on younger kids, and fought with others for no reason, threw them things, but his targets weren't some nerdy student or someone with the coward archetype. In fact, he respected the class nerd (he's loved by everyone) and those of coward archetype. Though his appearance fitted the bully stereotype, there were just lots of things about him that don't fit the stereotypes.
Nope, this is actually true. Most serious bullies I've seen weren't popular themselves. It's possible that bullying among girls is done by popular girls, but most popular kids are not bullies.
The bullying stereotypes aren't made up, they're just really out of date. I was around to see some of these things, but even back in my ancient times, a lot of these things just weren't a thing anymore. I AM surprised kids don't get bullied for trying hard in school now, which is definitely a good thing. That was something that, at the very least, would get you socially isolated when I was coming up because if you were studying, you weren't out partying, smoking up, etc. As for wedgies and swirlies - it was never a one-on-one thing. That was at least a five-on-one sort of thing. Still exceptionally rare, typically they'd just beat em up.
For the "bullied for trying hard in school", it never happen for my school. Most of those are seen as being smart and useful if you sit next to them, actually it never makes sens for me because studying is a positiv things. People mostly bully the one that have bad grades for being dumb
I was never bullied for being smart, I was bullied because I could not speak good English and the girls were just racist. Although they did give wedgies and push but I’ve never gotten a swirly
there is some schools here in brazil that there's bullys who bully you for simply trying to study (i don't know why tho..), thankfully mine there's not such a thing!
As someone else has said, this is a generational thing. Bullying now is alot more online, hiding behind a monitor, more blackmailing and nonverbal attacks In the early 2000's, bullying was literally you vibin and the bully came up and straight up punched you, assaulted you and yes, ripped your underwear apart. Literally happened to me.
I was born in '95 and fit every "nerdy" stereotype you can imagine. Yes, bullying for me was random sucker punches (not punches in the gut, but punches in the ribs, back, back of the head), random kicks, smacking whatever you're holding in your hands, trying to trip you and act like they didn't do that on purpose, etc. More often than not the kid that did it would run off fast as he could out of there laughing and giggling to himself using the crowd of people between you and him as form of protection. Things like wedgies and purple nurples (yes, look it up, it's a real thing) we'd hear rumors of but I never saw actually happen (although oddly enough I did see some of the typical "bullies" of the school actually bully eachother with purple nurples). Then there's playing sports, and, oh boy, kids (and probably adults too, now that I think about it) will take out their aggression by intentionally throwing footballs at your head, kicking soccer balls right toward your face, throwing baseballs towards either your nuts or your face, "passing" the basketball by lobbying it towards your face and acting like you should've caught it, etc. Injuries are seen as humorous and if you don't participate in the laughter and the mockery that follows someone getting hit than you're seen as the outcast. I never saw someone getting hit or hurt in sports that didn't draw laughter UNLESS you had a VERY strict gym teacher/coach that had zero tolerance for that behavior and would punish the ones that did it. The idea that glasses and braces could EVER be seen as "cool" is literally alternate reality type of stuff. I mean, it's why so many adults (and children) wear contacts or get laser eye surgery. I never saw someone get made fun of for having braces, it's more what happens after the braces get taken off. They get made fun of for not being able to close their mouth completely or they show off a lot of gum ("where your teeth at?"). Regardless, braces being "cool" is a very foreign and alien concept to me. Anyway, yeah, it is definitely a generational thing. I think Raody touches on this at the end of his video, that kids in the late 2000's just about got to experience the end of what traditional "bullying" looked like. If you were still in highschool within the last 10 years or so got to experience a completely different cultural style of bullying, one not based on physical violence, but online bullying (what adults in our day called "cyberbullying").
I used to hide out in the boy’s locker room in gym class. I was never an athletic kid so I just hung out with my friends and hid in the locker while they vaped.
we can all agree that adults are terrible at portraying kids in media at times, this is why series like diary of a wimpy kid are generally liked by the public because jeff kinney actually made it relatable for kids and teens(even if there are innacuracies here and there). greg heffley's egocentrism in the books is relatable to a lot of people back when they were younger, i just don't understand why we keep calling him a "sOcIoPaTh"
@kigr_33 yeah that's true, i'm still in middle school and i'm on the part where that phase is trying to go inside my brain but i try to never let it in. ain't never becoming an idiot
I think most bullies don’t think they are being bullies. They think they’re being funny, or they think the other kid is a jerk who deserves it. This is why everyone remembers being bullied but nobody remembers being the bully. Because there wasn’t “A bully.” Everyone picks on everyone else. But what could be a traumatic bullying experience for one person was just being a little goofy for someone else. So everyone remembers being bullied and is completely oblivious to the fact that they where someone else’s bully. There are definitely kids who don’t pick on anyone at all, but there aren’t really any kids who never get picked on at all. And it’s not a direct pecking order with the biggest bully on the top. It’s more like, everyone gets picked on by someone and everyone picks on someone, and it’s completely random.
I was bullied a lot in high school. Then a younger kid came along who other people bullied, and I joined in because it made me feel powerful, at a time where I was feeling very, very powerless. Then at some point I saw the kid getting picked on by other kids his age, and I had a flash of perspective. I realised that I was being exactly as bad as the people who bullied _me_. So I not only stopped bullying, I tried to give this other kid a safe space within my loose friend group. I wasn't very good at it, because I was an immature and ignorant teenager. But we're still friends to this day.
Honestly a lot of these bullying tropes are boomer era. Im a millenial our bullying was a lot of physical abuse like shoving in the hallways smacking their lunch out of their hands, weird borderline SA during gym, and verbal abuse like making fun of someone because they were poor and stinky ect. Ive seen kids cry from getting bullied.
Those have always been around. Bullying tropes have always presented toned-down bullying because they don't want to expose kids to something as uncomfortable as actual bullying
i'm also a millennial. i went to schools with zero tolerance policies on fighting. the bullies were extra persistent in trying to find a way to get me to fight them and in turn punished for it. essentially gaslighting the teachers into doing the bullying for the actual bullies
I'll be blunt and as the "weird kid" in school the one trope I grew to hate was the bully being a *jock*. They were cool jocks and they were mean jocks. But none of them were what I would ever call a "bully" most of the time, they were nice and the bullying they did were not this constant thing towards me if we go by the definition of a jock. Ironically, nerds and theater kids were the bullies that were the consistent bullies in my life. Heck even the popular girls weren't so bad if you didn't try too hard in hindsight. Two popular upperclasswomen even helped me with an eating disorder I had.
hard agree, most of the times for me, jocks were cool and never bullied me. Almost always, the one that were real annoying surprisingly were the midly popular one, like the guy that is not really popular per say but is still known.
@Cole-p3m sure bud is that what your mom said lol "they only bully you because you're cuter than them" and then you single handedly soloed the entire football team? Why tf is everyone making up their own tall tales lol
"the stereotype that you get bullied for doing well in school" this one is how i figured cartoons lied to me because i got bullied for having below average grades back in elementary...
@@EduardoFerreira-yi4qc i got pushed off that climbing house with the slide (forgot what it's called) and when i fought back i got in trouble, so the next day i didn't fight back and they took advantage of that (they stole my backpack and kicked me down) and one tomboy-girl on the schoolbus sprayed my eyes once.. other than that, it was mostly name-calling and gaslighting.. it's only elementary, so it's not as severe as middleschool/highschool where people pulled out knives and lighters and one guy even had an illegal weapon from the darkweb.. it probably helps for context to inform you that it wasn't a regular school, it was a special eds class mixed with "problem kids" and teens who went to juvy.. i always made sure to stand my ground though, but i didn't have a pocket knife on me so i usually ended up losing.. worst part is when teachers were in on it.. idk how school is now-a-days, but that was basically how things went for me (several dads also tried to sue the school, so idk if what happened there can be considered normal)
@@12DAMDO your old schools clearly had problems, i think it's a matter of time before something happens to those places. at least you'll finally never see those people again
@12DAMDO that did NOT happen special ed kids and misbehaving kids are not having dark web weapons and teachers would not be in on it NOBODY CARES IF YOU HAVE BAD GRADES MUCH LESS TO THAT EXTENT how tf you get bullied by a tomboy girl lmao
Not really. If anyone is getting bullied nowadays they are/were entirely capable of preventing it. You gotta do something weird or just wrong to get bullied Edit: ughhh guys this is too many replies I can’t answer them all
@Dogmanofthewest I got bullied just for being short (even though I'm a girl) and having an interest in birdwatching. Many people get bullied just because of their looks. It's not something you can control or prevent.
Depends really. There's definitely black people that forsake their own heritage to hang with people who genuinely hate them, and think they're better than people from the hood just because (it's not hard to be better than that btw, if you're bragging about it you're just an asshole).
A little addition for the stuffing inside lockers: if you DID manage to get locked inside a locker, that could potentially be dangerous, asphyxiation is possible in a tight spot like that
It's probably because being outside less as a kid is linked to myopia and since it is on the rise nowadays (everyone on they phones ) more people wear glasses and don't stand out.
Another thing is the bullies always having some sad life or needing an outlet for their anger. Thats just something people made up to feel better about themselves and it really annoys me how its become the norm in TV.
keep in mind the people who wrote these shows went through high school probably in the 90s where things like glasses and bracelets weren't as common which makes it easy to pick on
even during that time writers had those sterotypes, this must be some 50s-60s boomer ideas. ofc they would grab other guys underwear to give them a wedgie, sounds kinda closted to me
i mean i cant b e ONLY ONE that noticed in 90s and 00s the shows seemed to take place in the 80s and 70s? and now the shows TODAY take place in like 2000 2010? or atlest the fasion if not the action.
Just because media portrayed it a certain way doesn't mean it didn't happen to some degree, as a girl I got wedgied growing up even though physical bullying is mostly portrayed happening to boys in media, doesn't mean it never happened to girls too.
I am from Turkey and because of conservatism no one can wedgie anyone especially a girl would never do this to a girl so I am sorry and sorry for what happened to you ❤
THIS !!! they were bullied harder than anyone 😭 and worse yet they literally got 0 sympathy because literally no one felt sorry for them (including myself)
@@shrihana9611 Nah. These happened at my elementary (2010's) I even got punched in the stomach. Elementary kids were brutal. I was one of the "bullies" because I had to adapt so I wasn't bullied myself and I thought the edgy cliche bully stereotypes were cool. NO ONE bullied me for it. The stereotypes stopped once I was moved to a place that wasn't ghetto. Everyone in those new schools(middle and high school) were just too nice and submissive. Except for this black girl that attacked me but she didn't know I was built different. Im still in high school and I haven't seen a single bullying incident except for the random fights that break out but those are at every school
@@MegaBond101 Bro really? Your luck as hell. There was a girl in my class who in 6th grade tried to act like the stereotypical bully. By saying stuff like "heh you finally got friends" and "you wanna fight bro" But got bullied so hard she had no friends for 3 years (6th to 8th) before I left the school at 9th and im now in a diff school. Surprisingly nobody else ever tried to act that way but maybe that's cuz no one else was dumb enough XD
i’ve been wearing glasses for a while, and have never been insulted for it except for one time when my younger brother called me “four eyes” when he literally was wearing glasses
I agree, when I was in school, the few smart kids were popular, just because they would give answers to the rest of the class. I went to a middle school and high school that was somewhat bad behavior wise, but was bad academically. My schools were large population wise, so the few smart kids would help out a lot of the dumb students.
Bullying Is when the entire class hates you because the supposed cool kid says so and It's so subtle, you can't prove It. It looks like insults, exclusion. It gets ignored
@RuikaskiArcadeOFFICIAL For me who was bullied for seven years at school I can relate to this. one of my coworkers even said there was no human like me.
Today's form of bullying is more sophisticated than before. It's not about physical abuse or calling somebody "nerd". It's about gradual isolating the victim form the others, it's about ghosting them and threwing them away from virtual groups. It's about gossiping and trying to upset them without any visible clues. And who can't see the hidden behaviour of classmates then nobody will do something with it. I've gone throught that in my high school and I'm glad I'll be graduating and leaving these sick people...
Another bullying stereotype that makes no sense is that bullies are most of the time potrayed as kids failing school, I literally saw some bully in like 3rd grade that has all As
Nah, I think that stereotype is just bullying victims giving the bully a "redemption arc" by convincing themselves that bullies only act the way they do because they have troubled home lives. The reality is that most of them just do that shit because they think it's funny
I'm not from the US but that problem happen where I live too. Movies and AntiBully campains tend to think that bully only happen when a group of kids call somebody "nerd" or "whale" and punch them. But when I was growing up, the guy that bullied me was alone, never assauted me and never rlly did any of those corny things. He was always getting into my mind, insulting things that he knew it was going to mess with me and saying bad things about me. He made me think that my best qualities was my worst traits and without ever laying a hand on me cause he knew that he wouldn't acomplish anything with that.
Another stupid stereotype is being athletic and into sports indicates lesser intelligence, in reality lots of athletic, sport loving people are also intellectually able but the stereotype suggests you can't be both at same time. If anything being physically active and athletic would help boost intelligence
My older brother lived through becoming a jock (for baseball tournaments), and let me tell you, he DID become less intelligent and analytical... by his own words, it was *horrible* to feel so stupid. The brain is like a muscle, you DON'T do school homework because it'll be useful in your daily life, much like you DON'T lift heavy weights in most sports... You do those things to keep yourself in good shape, to struggle less when learning new things, because that's something you DO to live a good life.
i feel like the actual genuine realistic bully in media is probably nate jacobs from euphoria. He wont come towards you to attack you but he’s definitely scary if you mess with one of his friends or family members. He’s an actual smart “bully” in fact maybe he’s more than a bully from blackmailing, rape, and telling people to fake what they did just so he can get out of his problems
There were a couple of those types in my highschool, usually older people who date people in lower grades or got held back, and they used to act like they were hot shit until everyone else grew up. One of my best school memories is one of them showing up to a grade 12 graduation party and getting laid out by a kid they used to bully.
As someone who has been in a gifted program since first grade, wore glasses since second grade, ugly since sixth grade, and nerdy since eighth grade, none of these things have ever happened to me.
Well thats good for you. However, I have witnessed several cases of this happening to my peers. I hate how this video makes it sound like these things are not happening, because that is an incredibly harmful message to send to the world, especially when you want more effective anti-bullying campaigns.
@Bill_Byena yeah, while I understand this video is mainly for laughs. Not sure how I feel about downplaying the struggles of others just because you didn’t see it happen in your immediate view or don’t personally get it.
From ELEMENTARY, all the way to COLLEGE. NOT once did I’ve ever witness BULLYING like depicted in movies. The only type “bullying” I’ve ever wittiness in school, where kids throwing hands, over some petty squabble, that’s it. 😜
I think wedges are gross for both sides, for the victim they can make a joke on why the bully wants to touch their behind and "you like what you see" joke, but for the bully they're seriously touching someone's else's worn underwear (eeeeeew) seriously they'll get pink eye if the victim fart or they ate taco Tuesday for lunch
I've been bullied because of my mental disability (mild autism), my physical appearance and how Im always quiet and considered an introvert, sometimes I get bullied for no apparent reason. Do you count that as a stereotypical bullying to you? No? Yes? Im sorry if I sound like im trama dumping, but this is how my experience was when I was bullied.
@@NoName-lm3qp the worst kind of bullying is the one where people harrass the ones who are just minding their own bussiness, how does being quiet could even be considered possibly cringe?
@@EduardoFerreira-yi4qcin my experience. I was minding my own business until they started bullying me in middle school through high school. They view me as the shy type and see me an easy target. I hope this answered your question because I don't want to start drama
A lot of bullies i knew do this passive aggressive “we’re your friend so ignore the uncomfortable shit we’re doing” kind of thing. Trying to make you look bad for trying to tell them off basically
@@EduardoFerreira-yi4qc being quiet makes you come off as weak and harmless which makes you an easy target. easy bait etc. the bullies bully the weak. that's how human nature works. they aren't looking to bully extroverts. only those who they think won't fight back.
I think experience will vary based on generation, class, and culture. I’m in gen z, born in 2000. I definitely saw kids get bullied. I definitely saw bullies give kids wedgies. I went to public school my whole life tho so I know this may not be the norm for kids who went to specialized, charter, or private schools. In high school which was less than a decade ago 5 of the high schools in my neighborhood in Queens (NYC) got closed down b/c they were so poorly rated due to gang culture, violence, poor performance from students, low funding, etc….. these kids got zoned to different schools and shit went down. In high school a kid set a locker on fire and we had to evacuate, another kid got stabbed in the leg in the bathroom, another kid lost his finger b/c someone slammed a door on it, two neighborhood gangs fought at a local park, and the list continues. I got hella stories especially from high school. Believe it or not all of this happened in a white a** neighborhood - Bayside Queens which is a white majority neighborhood with an East Asian minority. I’m not even joking the biggest well known drug dealer in the neighborhood was an East Asian kid and a white kid. I mentioned this is also cultural b/c bullying in America is pretty extreme. I recently learned from some friends in Switzerland that bullying does happen in Switzerland, but it’s nothing compared to what goes on in America.
I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and all of the bullying stereotypes definitely existed. I got pantsed and wedgied, and I was too young to fight back. They literally put kids together with teenagers, in the same school, and we didnt have sexual assault stuff in schools back then.
I’ve always had a sort of “Bullying Scale” that uses two famous fictional bullies as a scale comparison. At one end is Draco Malfoy: someone entitled and rich who picks on others because he thinks he’s better. On the other end is Nelson Muntz: someone who is of low social status who compensates by belittling anyone who’s above him. There’s also the point in the middle where someone’s a bully just for the sake of it. Granted you rarely see this directly in real life, but as someone who got picked on a bit in school, you’re more likely to find a Nelson Muntz giving you grief.
I agree with you that bullying is a scale. All three exist it just depends on where you are located. I grew up in an affluent neighborhood so I've met more Malfoys than Muntzs. I would argue that the bully is a bully for the sake of it that's middle class is pretty common too. Especially since in high school you usually go off of vibes and well sometimes you just trigger someone that's completely normal and it's Doakes vs. Morgan with you and them. These types of bullies are usually the ones with the shortest shelf life and most likely to reform since well, they were dumb kids and again had no real motive/reason other than being in school trying to navigate it. I speak since I became one of these bullies, did some mean stuff and regret it.
I knew a couple kids who would make fun of weird people just because it was funny for them to see them get upset, I never really got the point of it lmao
1:13 I can tell you first hand that there are some people out there that will actually make fun of you for having good grades or answering a-lot in class, why? Im not sure.
Those kids ended up in the bottom 100, always had straight D’s and F’s, and a 0.5 GPA. Next time you see that kid, he/she will be 15 in middle school. Trust me, there’s a bunch of them.
I know why cuz I’m kind of one of those people, It’s because they don’t like hearing the same voice over and over especially when they are doing better then the bully
I'm a pure A's kid and never ever in my life have I've been made fun of. I fact, people complemented me. Idk if "your not human!" is an insult, but thr person who said it didn't mean any harm. Great video, keep it up!
bullying is the sort of thing where it really varies by region. There's going to be some places where rich/popular kids have their own little groups and act like asses to everyone else where as other places that won't be the case. There'll be some where people pance and swirly each other, but not always. There'll be some where kids make fun of another kid for doing good when they all hate a teacher.
At my high school there was virtually no bullying (at least for my class and adjacent classes). But meanwhile I've heard stories from my friends that live in a sister city. They all have horrible High School bullying stories. Everyone at my high school was nice. But just 10 minutes away, everyone is ruthless. It's crazy how much it can vary from region to region.
Most bullying stereotypes probably originated from the 70s and 80s, and all the old folks who make shows and movies don’t realize that bullies today don’t act like the bullies they had back then.
I never witnessed any bullying at school, nor have I ever been bullied, but there was one dude in my US History class who just didn’t like me for whatever reason. Literally *everyone else* at the school liked me because I’m just naturally charismatic and got along with every type of student: Nerds, Geeks, Cholos, Goths, Emos, Athletes, Artists, Theater kids, Band kids, Boys, Girls, Straights, Gays, Cis, Trans, literally *everyone* was cool with me. But this one guy just would not accept my existence. Even the teacher thought it was weird.
When I was in elementary school, I'm 31, I got jumped by the popular girls grabbed me by my arms and legs and almost gave me a swirlie. I say almost but I managed to wriggle around and they dropped me twice before I managed to make it back in the classroom. I was the geeky, plain jane, bookish type that other kids loved to mess with. Even in high school I was verbally harassed and made fun of. And there was no reason for it. The ringleader, when asked why by one of my school acquaintances why she bullied me, simply said "no real reason. she didn't do anything to me, I just don't like her" Kids are just assholes sometimes but even with my experiences, they never did any of the stuff here, expect the swirlie and surprising the good grades thing. Kids would label me and others geeks or nerds for trying and having good grades.
@@EduardoFerreira-yi4qc yeah, most of my school life wasn't fun. I had a recent conversation with some of my co-workers and all of us but one said we would never want to do middle or high school again. The one girl who said she would, didn't understand and I told her, point blank, "you are a very pretty young woman, you were popular, you didn't have to struggle like we did." And she even admitted to that
@@Kodick.edits1 unfortunately that tactic doesn't really work when the ones doing this were admittedly good looking. Plus, it wouldn't have mattered, they probably would have just done worse in retaliation.
I think movies and tv are confusing smart kids who have good grades with the kind of nerds who are pretentious and ruin other people's fun and dick ride the teachers, saying stuff like "You forgot to ask us to turn in homework." Those kids are the targets of bullies.
Bro someone actually reminded the teacher about the homework in my 7th grade Math class. Luckily it was an accelerated course full of nerds so nobody really complained
I remember some girl in eighth grade who acted weird over the fact that I wore glasses yet was bad at math and complained about essay homework. Sorry for not being a Disney Channel stereotype lol.😂
That's just so blind. I am always nice, I never remind teachers of ANY homework, I always share my things and answers, and I still get bullied every day.
I wasn't too popular in my class. Very rude, troubled kids. Once I realized how stupid they all were I reminded the teacher of homework every single time. I think I singlehandedly caused 2 of the kids in that class to fail
Idk how bully work in real life since in my school everyone were friendly to eachother and sometimes quarrel among themselves but became friend next day only thing they does were making some nasty joke but it was done by asking permission to each other
As a middle schooler the school social hierarchy definitely still exists but it is not as serious as it is sometimes made out to be and there isn’t really a big popular bully who goes around stuffing people in lockers and stuff. Most kids don’t really care if you watch anime or play video games as long as your not annoying about it.
Yup kinda the same I am from a balkanik school So smoking and bullying is nothing new The advantage I was the one who would annoy you so much you will beg for me to leave you alone Hit me and I am making your life a hell Never had a bully and I had friends 👍 Also America is fu#% We may have knives but they bring big guns
i went into middle school thinking the bullying i might experience would be getting shoved in a locker or something, but i'd take that a hundred times over what i actually got: "heyyy my friend over there likes you" "why are you so quiet all the time, do you not like me?" "so we're best friends right?"
my music teacher was badly allergic to certain strong smells and told us to not spray anything in the class, and that led to people saying he liked kids and was turned on by bad smells👎😔
I think part of the misconception that 'the kids who get the best grades or like 'nerdy' things are bullied' probably comes from misidentifying the source. I wouldn't say I'm actively bullied in school at the moment, only sort of ostracised, but I have been bullied in the past and so have many of my friends. A lot of the time it's not to do with what you like but the way in which you like it; I'm very intense about my interests to the point where it might be off-putting for a lot of people, and sometimes it's just that you have strange mannerisms that. idk make people uncomfortable? and many of my friends (plus me to a certain extent but it's more been harassment than bullying) are bullied for being queer as well. Most of the time it's about being different in a way that people don't like, or challenging the views that people already hold via your interests/mannerisms/identity etc.
@@mjrino7225 spot on. I graduated in 2017 and from what I observed being fat, unattractive or a racial minority were the only things that interested bullies, which is sad; but fortunately being a misfit by interests and mannerisms didn't. It did however as you say ostracise us though, being into music, books or other non popular things was like a social suicide and you were always going to put off potential friends. And there would be snarky comments thrown in your direction but for the most part you'd just be completely isolated.
I suppose my takeaway from here and the comments is that the bullying style is just outdated. Also I think it really depends on the school and the area. I went to a massive high school with a graduating class of 800, so bullying wasn't much of a thing--and I WAS a loner type. People just minded their own business. At the same time, I've gone to much smaller schools where everyone knew each other, so in those instances I DID get subjected to some bullying. My best friend (at the time) and her brother spat on me when I was walking home, and because I saw them a lot, I couldn't get away from them. (We're not friends anymore btw, I was like 8.) Cramped suburban area with only a handful of kids, you kinda get to know each other, and that stirs up trouble over time. Especially if you find people you don't like that you have to see on a daily basis--that just BREEDS bullying.
I was bullied in school simply because I was a quiet person who kept to myself. I stopped being bullied when I sent my bully to the hospital with a shovel to his face. No one believed him that I did it due to how non-confrontational and passive I was. This event occurred during winter and everyone thought he slipped on some ice and fell face-first into the ground. He stayed far away from me afterward. :D Edit: This occurred in Elementry.
I feel bad for my science teacher because the “kids” that think there “popular” but these hellspawn always yell and disrupt class and just argue with him for no reason they genuinely suck.
I believe that the writers who were born in the 1950's, 60's and 70's were more likely to have suffered or witnessed extreme bullying and therefore put this in their works. That might explain bullying depicted in media from the 1980's to 2000's, but at some point in the 2010's those same things start to seem absolutely nonsensical for anyone to ever do to somebody else.
As a nerd(glasses, good grades, weird tastes, know random facts of plants mushrooms rockets and space, kinda shy) i've never been bullied in my whole life.
You’re kind of the comment I looked for. I was not popular, but neither bullied nor even invisible. Maybe my school had a really good vibe and/or I looked self-confident.
I'm kinda convinced that since these movies were made by far older adults, these adults had to experience this sort of crap. It only went out of style today because kids realized "that's fucking stupid". Is this a conspiracy theory? Am I right? I don't know.
I think you're partially right. I am convinced Revenge of the Nerds impacted so many writers going forward and had some overexaggerated experiences with jocks and they are now the go to villain in high school. I posted this but I'll say it again, most jocks I knew in high school? They were not this ever present malevolent force of nature. A lot of them were at best nice and even felt sad I didn't invite them to birthday parties since they saw me as a friend and at worse they ignored me but would never go out of their way to spite me. The cliques that were the most viscous to me? Nerds and theater kids.
I think things like the Columbine shooting changed things. People figured out that if someone is bullied enough at school, they might come back with a gun.
Another comment mentioned how after columbine (or smthing) teachers started actually taking bullying more seriously, but things use to be pretty much like the wild west. It's a story that'd make sense to me in why there's a disconnect in media vs current reality
The sad truth is real life bullying in most cases in subtle and simple, such as excluding someone from a game and calling someone out for having bad grades. When I was in highschool I had that this one kid that told other people not to talk to another student in my class, as an adult I find it pathetic that someone feels the need to pressure people to become a petty child.
I’ve been genuinely bullied and it’s practically the only thing teachers ignore. I was constantly insulted, and attacked for no reason by a guy I barely even knew for no reason other than that my appearance and voice made him mad. He would also constantly say that I looked like a future child-m$@&?!€%. And don’t get me started about when he found something extremely incriminating on me. He practically blackmailed me and made me do things for him like nearly ruining one of my friendships.
that shi would never make sense to me. my jock friends were too tired of practice that they just sleep during class let alone having the energy to bully someone else
Nowadaysbmost "bullying" is simply catcalling and cheap insults, and simply told they're gonna beat u cuz they're bigger than u. I promise u one of the people who does that just can't fight
Yeah, this is true; I was never bullied in high school despite being an admittedly obnoxious kid and that's because I kicked the shit out of someone in the bus one time so I had a bit of a rep, it's kinda funny though because who I was beating up was half my size but that was enough I guess. Morale of the story; if you will throw hands then they don't want to mess with you.
Nahhh , real bullying is in my state just 2 weeks ago a special ed kid was literally beaten by fellow students and killed all circualtion to his left eye and a week later he had to have his eye removed. If anyone, no matter your age, please speak out or help stop any kind of this pointless, ignorant behavior because you never know how far it can actually go.
I always hated that in movies bullies were so stereotyped. When I was bullied in school I was beaten up everyday for years. Not being locked in locker or being so stupidly insulted like foureyes
This is why I was so happy to see the Amazing Spider-man Andrew Garfield was a normal looking dude who skateboard and was getting teased and beat up it was healing because this was more realistic than most depicition of bullying. Yet people said it was unrealistic cause he was good looking it was so stupid. Times have change now obviously so bullying is more social media based.
About teachers getting bullied, (im in a school that combines high school and middle school) We have two music teachers at my school. One teaches string instruments. The other does wind instruments. The strings teacher is gay but has short hair. The winds teacher is straight but has longer hair. They are also pretty close and spend lunch together or visit each other during free periods. So of course, what are a bunch of teenagers gonna do? Ship them. Make up lies about them. It got *diabolical.* I remember actually believing these lies about the two men and staying away from my winds teacher even though he was really nice. People made TikToks and fanart of them kissing, or the gay one IMPREGNATING the straight one. The worst part about it, they both knew what was going on and didn't address it, which only fueled the fire. People saw them walking home together, the straight one going past the subway, etc. I feel really bad for them because the lies are still going on and they both seem so nonchalant about it all.
If it's bothering you so much, I suggest talking to them about it. you could either tell one of them that you want to speak to them after class or after school and tell them about what you saw those kids do to them, that you find it wrong and ask them why are they ignoring it. I hope this helps. Who knows, some people might just need a little push from other people to open up. But of course you won't know until you wont try.
Well it only shows how disgusting and vile the ones behind those drawings than the teachers themselves. On another hand, most adults have a decent level of "I-don't-give-a-fuc-" energy-just grown up beyond those meager defamation and idiocy of their teenage years. Who else, other than goldfish'ed idiots on hormones, gonna give a single crap about those lies, assuming the adults aren't too stupid.
The whole thing just comes to the portrayal being outdated… makes sense, because people who graduated 2009< likely aren’t old enough to make a whole a-movie (most directors start in their 30s and get popular in their 40s/50s IF they are lucky). Like, the teen comedies millenials and most zoomers grew up with were made by boomers/genXers. Really the only thing that made them “current” was the change in clothing and music, wchich is not hard to figure out if you have a whole team of people assigned this job I’d say bullying now has shifted to more emotional and/or online territory. I mean, from modern bully perspective, why would they risk getting punished for abusic people physically, when they can do that with just words from the comfort of their homes…
that’s indian, but also kind of accurate. Indian people tend to be very tech savvy and a lot of them learn english, combine those two together and you get youtube tech tutorials and call scammers from the not so nice ones.
@@ThePhrog714 It doesnt really matter if its accurate or not. Half the stereotypes don't hold up statistically. Also if you're ever wrong, you can just hit them with "but you look the same"
I had a gym teacher in middle school that everyone hated (except some of the athletes). She got kicked in the face and got a concussion or something and everyone was making fun of her 😭
Real life bullies found out using social media and gaslighting was more effective than pure physical harassment

Bullies in movies: beat people
Bullies IRL: nothing is better than some good old psychological warfare!
One bullying stereotype I absolutely love is that "bullies just need your reaction, so just don't pay attention" which would be the first thing a teacher say as soon as you tell them that you're getting bullied
Yeah they literally say that while ur getting assaulted
it's true but it's not like theyre not gonna try harder
yeah the teachers give u advice base on things that don't even happen
@@raindoset5408 The thing is that most of the time even the lack of emotions or reaction might be the most "fun" part about bullying you. You gotta cater and amuse them anyway as long as you don't stand up for yourself
yeah literally all the teacher has to do is provide actual help but no they tell you to basically cope
I NEVER got the stereotype of the "Jocks" being huge meat-heads and bullies. Most of the Jocks I met in school were honestly pretty chill and sometimes big nerds themselves
Well at that point you cant call them jocks
Because the writers are probably that person who sit out during gym classes
How old are you? It was definitely the case during the 90s and earlier. The writers for these shows aren't teens so only wrote to their experiences.
I think it's probably bc the change in rules that jocks have keep a certain gpa in order to play sports. This is probably also where the stereotype of jocks "bullying nerds to do their hw" came from too.
@@cbbblue8348 No, bullying has simply evolved over time. The writers are from an older generation.
I think this is a generational thing. I grew up in the 90s and witnessed a lot of bullying first-hand. Our gym teacher often left the class unsupervised, giving bullies free rein. I remember one of my friends being humiliated with a wedgie while everyone stood around laughing at him-there was no way he could fight back. While I never saw anyone get a swirlie or shoved into a locker, I experienced something similar when a guy kicked a bathroom stall door into me while I was using it, leaving a scar in the centre of my forehead.
Most of the bullying I saw involved physical or cruel acts like throwing students into dumpsters or pelting them with plastic bottles filled with rocks. People were targeted for being perceived as nerds, especially if they liked fantasy or video games, so many hid their interests to avoid getting beaten up. I even knew a boy who was bullied because his dad had killed his mom.
Things began to change after the Columbine High School massacre, when schools started taking bullying more seriously and enforcing stricter policies. But back then, it felt like anything went.
Yeah nowadays people don’t take anything seriously so if someone’s dad killed their mom everyone would probably befriend that kid and his dad
I remember we used to play rough games like bloody knuckles but with quarters placed inbetween your fingers, or do things to each other like surprise kick each other in the nads. At recess we would play sports but with a lot of rough housing, soccer but we constantly shove into each other, football but with tackling becoming full on wrestling. This was the 2000s, so not a lot of violent bullying, but we still found ways to mess with each other. There was a game (this one's actually more recent), where if tricked someone to look at you doing an OK sign below the knees, you could slap their neck as hard as you could. I dunno if kids still play these rough games now like we did.
Yeah. I'm really annoyed when people say "nobody acts like this". There are like 8 billion people, how do you know nobody acts like that? Or that people never acted like it in the past? Do you genuinely think that just because you experienced something one way it was the same for everyone else?
yeah this youtube dude is just a gen z yapper who never went through real bullying
I used to get bullied early on in my school life, a few years later, I've grown quite a lot and started working out a little. Also made some few good friends, albeit in questionable social circles and kinda led to me to smoke pot - BUT!
We did share a common hatred for bullies, either through first-hand experience or due to bullied siblings (the younger sister of a friend tried end*ng herself, though she made it and got better in the years after).
Essentially, during the few years left at school we became scourges of any bullies at school and whenever we saw someone unable to defend themself.
I personally kept this trait, I won't ever pretend I don't see shjt playing out, nor will I ever just be a passive bystander when someone weaker gets pushed down without clear reason.
I hate how so many people seem to be content with shjt like that happening.
The idea of a bully giving someone a wedgie irl is incredibly absurd. If you did that people would think you're an absolute freak.
😂😂🤣
i hated that shit😭
bruh my school (a boy school) used to grab eachothers 🍆 for fun and once they peed in a bottle and threw it people so wedgies are quite mild.
Depends on where you're from. In a backwoods hillbilly redneck area, that kind of thing gets the victim laughed at, that and getting your pants pulled down. Wearing a belt is usually a good deterrent for getting pants pulled down, cause the effort and where they'd have to put their hands would get the bully looked at weird.
Speaking from personal experience, growing up in a very conservative redneck area where we have more churches than gas stations, grocery stores, and schools combined. That is no exaggeration, I actually counted at one point.
That would qualify as a form of SA
The biggest misinterpretation of bullying in movies is that the bully is usually alone, has no friends, is often fat, ugly or both, and definitely unpopular. In reality, bullying requires power structures. Most of the time, it is a group of popular kids bullying an outsider.
That's how it is in most of what I have seen in movies
This may sound pretty ironic, but a bully at my school was fat, big, ugly and had no friend group. He spat on younger kids, and fought with others for no reason, threw them things, but his targets weren't some nerdy student or someone with the coward archetype. In fact, he respected the class nerd (he's loved by everyone) and those of coward archetype. Though his appearance fitted the bully stereotype, there were just lots of things about him that don't fit the stereotypes.
And it's 99.9999% of the time psychological, not physical.
Idk man, most of the bullies I've seen in shows are those popular kids with bunch of "goons" following behind, like Draco Malfoy for example.
Nope, this is actually true. Most serious bullies I've seen weren't popular themselves. It's possible that bullying among girls is done by popular girls, but most popular kids are not bullies.
Another bullying stereotype is when the bullies grab your shirt and say "give me your lunch money!"
LUNCH MONEY?
WHO PAYS FOR THE CAFETERIA?
AYO, THIS MF SO POOR HE NEEDS TO ASK FOR LUNCH MONEY!!!
Broke as hell
1980: give me your lunch money!
2025: tell me your digital student ID number so I can enter it on the computers at the cafeteria to get a lunch
Dude yea, that'd get the bully bullied even more for being poor asf
The bullying stereotypes aren't made up, they're just really out of date. I was around to see some of these things, but even back in my ancient times, a lot of these things just weren't a thing anymore.
I AM surprised kids don't get bullied for trying hard in school now, which is definitely a good thing. That was something that, at the very least, would get you socially isolated when I was coming up because if you were studying, you weren't out partying, smoking up, etc.
As for wedgies and swirlies - it was never a one-on-one thing. That was at least a five-on-one sort of thing. Still exceptionally rare, typically they'd just beat em up.
its all the lead poisoning i think
For the "bullied for trying hard in school", it never happen for my school. Most of those are seen as being smart and useful if you sit next to them, actually it never makes sens for me because studying is a positiv things. People mostly bully the one that have bad grades for being dumb
I was never bullied for being smart, I was bullied because I could not speak good English and the girls were just racist. Although they did give wedgies and push but I’ve never gotten a swirly
there is some schools here in brazil that there's bullys who bully you for simply trying to study (i don't know why tho..), thankfully mine there's not such a thing!
The second one does happen at my school, I’ve seen straight A kids get dirty looks by the 0.2 gpa kids
As someone else has said, this is a generational thing. Bullying now is alot more online, hiding behind a monitor, more blackmailing and nonverbal attacks
In the early 2000's, bullying was literally you vibin and the bully came up and straight up punched you, assaulted you and yes, ripped your underwear apart. Literally happened to me.
Gang are you fine?? That's psychological warfare did you not do anything?
I was born in '95 and fit every "nerdy" stereotype you can imagine. Yes, bullying for me was random sucker punches (not punches in the gut, but punches in the ribs, back, back of the head), random kicks, smacking whatever you're holding in your hands, trying to trip you and act like they didn't do that on purpose, etc. More often than not the kid that did it would run off fast as he could out of there laughing and giggling to himself using the crowd of people between you and him as form of protection. Things like wedgies and purple nurples (yes, look it up, it's a real thing) we'd hear rumors of but I never saw actually happen (although oddly enough I did see some of the typical "bullies" of the school actually bully eachother with purple nurples).
Then there's playing sports, and, oh boy, kids (and probably adults too, now that I think about it) will take out their aggression by intentionally throwing footballs at your head, kicking soccer balls right toward your face, throwing baseballs towards either your nuts or your face, "passing" the basketball by lobbying it towards your face and acting like you should've caught it, etc. Injuries are seen as humorous and if you don't participate in the laughter and the mockery that follows someone getting hit than you're seen as the outcast. I never saw someone getting hit or hurt in sports that didn't draw laughter UNLESS you had a VERY strict gym teacher/coach that had zero tolerance for that behavior and would punish the ones that did it.
The idea that glasses and braces could EVER be seen as "cool" is literally alternate reality type of stuff. I mean, it's why so many adults (and children) wear contacts or get laser eye surgery.
I never saw someone get made fun of for having braces, it's more what happens after the braces get taken off. They get made fun of for not being able to close their mouth completely or they show off a lot of gum ("where your teeth at?"). Regardless, braces being "cool" is a very foreign and alien concept to me.
Anyway, yeah, it is definitely a generational thing. I think Raody touches on this at the end of his video, that kids in the late 2000's just about got to experience the end of what traditional "bullying" looked like. If you were still in highschool within the last 10 years or so got to experience a completely different cultural style of bullying, one not based on physical violence, but online bullying (what adults in our day called "cyberbullying").
I think that’s illegal 😭
One hit me, sprayed bad chemicals in my eyes, that kind of thing.

I think most bullies don’t think they are being bullies.
They think they’re being funny, or they think the other kid is a jerk who deserves it.
This is why everyone remembers being bullied but nobody remembers being the bully.
Because there wasn’t “A bully.”
Everyone picks on everyone else. But what could be a traumatic bullying experience for one person was just being a little goofy for someone else.
So everyone remembers being bullied and is completely oblivious to the fact that they where someone else’s bully.
There are definitely kids who don’t pick on anyone at all, but there aren’t really any kids who never get picked on at all.
And it’s not a direct pecking order with the biggest bully on the top. It’s more like, everyone gets picked on by someone and everyone picks on someone, and it’s completely random.
I was bullied a lot in high school. Then a younger kid came along who other people bullied, and I joined in because it made me feel powerful, at a time where I was feeling very, very powerless.
Then at some point I saw the kid getting picked on by other kids his age, and I had a flash of perspective. I realised that I was being exactly as bad as the people who bullied _me_. So I not only stopped bullying, I tried to give this other kid a safe space within my loose friend group. I wasn't very good at it, because I was an immature and ignorant teenager. But we're still friends to this day.
Some people definitely had "a bully" but you're still mostly right.
Honestly a lot of these bullying tropes are boomer era. Im a millenial our bullying was a lot of physical abuse like shoving in the hallways smacking their lunch out of their hands, weird borderline SA during gym, and verbal abuse like making fun of someone because they were poor and stinky ect. Ive seen kids cry from getting bullied.
Those have always been around. Bullying tropes have always presented toned-down bullying because they don't want to expose kids to something as uncomfortable as actual bullying
You think none of those things happened to Gen X or Boomers??
@@Nikki_the_G oc didn't say that
i can get the shoving in the halls but smacking lunch out someones hands is wild
i'm also a millennial. i went to schools with zero tolerance policies on fighting. the bullies were extra persistent in trying to find a way to get me to fight them and in turn punished for it. essentially gaslighting the teachers into doing the bullying for the actual bullies
I'll be blunt and as the "weird kid" in school the one trope I grew to hate was the bully being a *jock*. They were cool jocks and they were mean jocks. But none of them were what I would ever call a "bully" most of the time, they were nice and the bullying they did were not this constant thing towards me if we go by the definition of a jock. Ironically, nerds and theater kids were the bullies that were the consistent bullies in my life. Heck even the popular girls weren't so bad if you didn't try too hard in hindsight. Two popular upperclasswomen even helped me with an eating disorder I had.

Just because media portrayed it a certain way doesn't mean it didn't happen to some degree, as a girl I got wedgied growing up even though physical bullying is mostly portrayed happening to boys in media, doesn't mean it never happened to girls too.
True as a girl I used to give wedgies growing up
I got locked in a locker in middle school as a girl lol, a teacher eventually found me and got help
I am from Turkey and because of conservatism no one can wedgie anyone especially a girl would never do this to a girl so I am sorry and sorry for what happened to you ❤
@@morganmcknight7191 the only time I got wedgies was from my older sister but I did used to give wedgies in middle school

THIS !!! they were bullied harder than anyone 😭 and worse yet they literally got 0 sympathy because literally no one felt sorry for them (including myself)
probably cause the writer genuinely did find this happening, in the 60s that is
@@shrihana9611 Nah. These happened at my elementary (2010's) I even got punched in the stomach. Elementary kids were brutal. I was one of the "bullies" because I had to adapt so I wasn't bullied myself and I thought the edgy cliche bully stereotypes were cool. NO ONE bullied me for it. The stereotypes stopped once I was moved to a place that wasn't ghetto. Everyone in those new schools(middle and high school) were just too nice and submissive. Except for this black girl that attacked me but she didn't know I was built different. Im still in high school and I haven't seen a single bullying incident except for the random fights that break out but those are at every school
@@MegaBond101 Bro really? Your luck as hell. There was a girl in my class who in 6th grade tried to act like the stereotypical bully. By saying stuff like "heh you finally got friends" and "you wanna fight bro" But got bullied so hard she had no friends for 3 years (6th to 8th) before I left the school at 9th and im now in a diff school. Surprisingly nobody else ever tried to act that way but maybe that's cuz no one else was dumb enough XD

i’ve been wearing glasses for a while, and have never been insulted for it except for one time when my younger brother called me “four eyes” when he literally was wearing glasses
I agree, when I was in school, the few smart kids were popular, just because they would give answers to the rest of the class. I went to a middle school and high school that was somewhat bad behavior wise, but was bad academically. My schools were large population wise, so the few smart kids would help out a lot of the dumb students.
Bullying Is when the entire class hates you because the supposed cool kid says so and It's so subtle, you can't prove It. It looks like insults, exclusion. It gets ignored
That is a form of bullying yes
I remember the whole class hating and bullying me in like 3 of 4th grade because I was what we called now the weird kid.
true, I went through this for early middle school. honestly annoying.
@RuikaskiArcadeOFFICIAL For me who was bullied for seven years at school I can relate to this. one of my coworkers even said there was no human like me.
Today's form of bullying is more sophisticated than before. It's not about physical abuse or calling somebody "nerd". It's about gradual isolating the victim form the others, it's about ghosting them and threwing them away from virtual groups. It's about gossiping and trying to upset them without any visible clues. And who can't see the hidden behaviour of classmates then nobody will do something with it. I've gone throught that in my high school and I'm glad I'll be graduating and leaving these sick people...
Another bullying stereotype that makes no sense is that bullies are most of the time potrayed as kids failing school, I literally saw some bully in like 3rd grade that has all As
I think they’re tryna make bullies seem stupid but it’s just misrepresenting😂
Nah, I think that stereotype is just bullying victims giving the bully a "redemption arc" by convincing themselves that bullies only act the way they do because they have troubled home lives. The reality is that most of them just do that shit because they think it's funny
and they are usually class leaders ☠️
Was definitely not the case at my school
I knew a bully who was doing great in school because his parents were multimillionaires.
I'm not from the US but that problem happen where I live too. Movies and AntiBully campains tend to think that bully only happen when a group of kids call somebody "nerd" or "whale" and punch them. But when I was growing up, the guy that bullied me was alone, never assauted me and never rlly did any of those corny things. He was always getting into my mind, insulting things that he knew it was going to mess with me and saying bad things about me. He made me think that my best qualities was my worst traits and without ever laying a hand on me cause he knew that he wouldn't acomplish anything with that.
Same
yep and honestly making bullying seem as simple as shown on media is actually harmful cuz it makes other ppl not realise someone is getting bullied
Bullying only has to do with looks, the rest doesn't matter

@@StrayingDeer_WCUEViolence
@IamFighterman You hit them and you are screwed, they often move in pack. Sure if he's alone then okay but won't they tell their friends about that?
Also the stereotype that the tall, muscular, usually blonde/blue eyed chad character is a bully. Usually, those guys are super chill and friendly.
As a girl, it go the same for me, pretty girls are always so sweet and nice. Most bully are insecure girl who bad mouthed and bully other girls
Another stupid stereotype is being athletic and into sports indicates lesser intelligence, in reality lots of athletic, sport loving people are also intellectually able but the stereotype suggests you can't be both at same time. If anything being physically active and athletic would help boost intelligence
A lot of athletes are motivated, both in sports and in school.
Tons of the athletes in my high school ended up at great colleges and got into fraternities
Peyton Manning was like the football version of a nerd
My older brother lived through becoming a jock (for baseball tournaments), and let me tell you, he DID become less intelligent and analytical... by his own words, it was *horrible* to feel so stupid.
The brain is like a muscle, you DON'T do school homework because it'll be useful in your daily life, much like you DON'T lift heavy weights in most sports... You do those things to keep yourself in good shape, to struggle less when learning new things, because that's something you DO to live a good life.
I mean have you heard some NFL players speak?
i feel like the actual genuine realistic bully in media is probably nate jacobs from euphoria. He wont come towards you to attack you but he’s definitely scary if you mess with one of his friends or family members. He’s an actual smart “bully” in fact maybe he’s more than a bully from blackmailing, rape, and telling people to fake what they did just so he can get out of his problems
This is a 100 percent true, as someone who graduated in 2018 there were definitely a few “Nate Jacobs” in my high school
There were a couple of those types in my highschool, usually older people who date people in lower grades or got held back, and they used to act like they were hot shit until everyone else grew up. One of my best school memories is one of them showing up to a grade 12 graduation party and getting laid out by a kid they used to bully.
Being insulted because of wearing glasses is just so ridiculous.
i have glasses bc of my horrible vision and if someone took my glasses to tease me about them, i wouldn’t be able to see who is teasing me lmao
As someone who has been in a gifted program since first grade, wore glasses since second grade, ugly since sixth grade, and nerdy since eighth grade, none of these things have ever happened to me.
And I still have a lot of friends.
Fr Like I dont see how that gets people bullied, it's usually the more average seeming kids that get the short end of the stick
Well thats good for you. However, I have witnessed several cases of this happening to my peers. I hate how this video makes it sound like these things are not happening, because that is an incredibly harmful message to send to the world, especially when you want more effective anti-bullying campaigns.
Womp womp just fight back
@Bill_Byena yeah, while I understand this video is mainly for laughs. Not sure how I feel about downplaying the struggles of others just because you didn’t see it happen in your immediate view or don’t personally get it.
From ELEMENTARY, all the way to COLLEGE. NOT once did I’ve ever witness BULLYING like depicted in movies. The only type “bullying” I’ve ever wittiness in school, where kids throwing hands, over some petty squabble, that’s it. 😜
throwing hands means fighting not bullying
@: And those “fights” often looked more like Sumo Fights, rather than Fist Fights, due the kids lack of technique.

the bullies bully the weak. that's how human nature works. they aren't looking to bully extroverts. only those who they think won't fight back.
I think experience will vary based on generation, class, and culture.
I’m in gen z, born in 2000. I definitely saw kids get bullied. I definitely saw bullies give kids wedgies. I went to public school my whole life tho so I know this may not be the norm for kids who went to specialized, charter, or private schools.
In high school which was less than a decade ago 5 of the high schools in my neighborhood in Queens (NYC) got closed down b/c they were so poorly rated due to gang culture, violence, poor performance from students, low funding, etc….. these kids got zoned to different schools and shit went down. In high school a kid set a locker on fire and we had to evacuate, another kid got stabbed in the leg in the bathroom, another kid lost his finger b/c someone slammed a door on it, two neighborhood gangs fought at a local park, and the list continues. I got hella stories especially from high school. Believe it or not all of this happened in a white a** neighborhood - Bayside Queens which is a white majority neighborhood with an East Asian minority. I’m not even joking the biggest well known drug dealer in the neighborhood was an East Asian kid and a white kid.
I mentioned this is also cultural b/c bullying in America is pretty extreme. I recently learned from some friends in Switzerland that bullying does happen in Switzerland, but it’s nothing compared to what goes on in America.
I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and all of the bullying stereotypes definitely existed. I got pantsed and wedgied, and I was too young to fight back. They literally put kids together with teenagers, in the same school, and we didnt have sexual assault stuff in schools back then.
The guy who made the video is probably a teen, so i'm pretty sure they never experienced bullying.
I’ve always had a sort of “Bullying Scale” that uses two famous fictional bullies as a scale comparison. At one end is Draco Malfoy: someone entitled and rich who picks on others because he thinks he’s better. On the other end is Nelson Muntz: someone who is of low social status who compensates by belittling anyone who’s above him. There’s also the point in the middle where someone’s a bully just for the sake of it. Granted you rarely see this directly in real life, but as someone who got picked on a bit in school, you’re more likely to find a Nelson Muntz giving you grief.
I agree with you that bullying is a scale. All three exist it just depends on where you are located. I grew up in an affluent neighborhood so I've met more Malfoys than Muntzs. I would argue that the bully is a bully for the sake of it that's middle class is pretty common too. Especially since in high school you usually go off of vibes and well sometimes you just trigger someone that's completely normal and it's Doakes vs. Morgan with you and them. These types of bullies are usually the ones with the shortest shelf life and most likely to reform since well, they were dumb kids and again had no real motive/reason other than being in school trying to navigate it. I speak since I became one of these bullies, did some mean stuff and regret it.
So... Superiority complex vs jealously/spite?
@@headphonesaxolotl Yes if you read his comment that's exactly what he described. Good job.

Those kids ended up in the bottom 100, always had straight D’s and F’s, and a 0.5 GPA. Next time you see that kid, he/she will be 15 in middle school. Trust me, there’s a bunch of them.
I know why cuz I’m kind of one of those people, It’s because they don’t like hearing the same voice over and over especially when they are doing better then the bully
Sometimes people make fun of nerds. Nerds are smart. The bully is just dumb, the only difference is one will make it in life.
I guess you could start putting your hand up more to bring some variety @@WinterPlaysGD

I fact, people complemented me. Idk if "your not human!" is an insult, but thr person who said it didn't mean any harm. Great video, keep it up!
bullying is the sort of thing where it really varies by region. There's going to be some places where rich/popular kids have their own little groups and act like asses to everyone else where as other places that won't be the case. There'll be some where people pance and swirly each other, but not always. There'll be some where kids make fun of another kid for doing good when they all hate a teacher.
I was not expecting to see you here
At my high school there was virtually no bullying (at least for my class and adjacent classes).
But meanwhile I've heard stories from my friends that live in a sister city. They all have horrible High School bullying stories.
Everyone at my high school was nice. But just 10 minutes away, everyone is ruthless.
It's crazy how much it can vary from region to region.
Most bullying stereotypes probably originated from the 70s and 80s, and all the old folks who make shows and movies don’t realize that bullies today don’t act like the bullies they had back then.
I never witnessed any bullying at school, nor have I ever been bullied, but there was one dude in my US History class who just didn’t like me for whatever reason.
Literally *everyone else* at the school liked me because I’m just naturally charismatic and got along with every type of student: Nerds, Geeks, Cholos, Goths, Emos, Athletes, Artists, Theater kids, Band kids, Boys, Girls, Straights, Gays, Cis, Trans, literally *everyone* was cool with me.
But this one guy just would not accept my existence. Even the teacher thought it was weird.
Probably because of jealousy or something
When I was in elementary school, I'm 31, I got jumped by the popular girls grabbed me by my arms and legs and almost gave me a swirlie. I say almost but I managed to wriggle around and they dropped me twice before I managed to make it back in the classroom.
I was the geeky, plain jane, bookish type that other kids loved to mess with.
Even in high school I was verbally harassed and made fun of. And there was no reason for it. The ringleader, when asked why by one of my school acquaintances why she bullied me, simply said "no real reason. she didn't do anything to me, I just don't like her"
Kids are just assholes sometimes but even with my experiences, they never did any of the stuff here, expect the swirlie and surprising the good grades thing. Kids would label me and others geeks or nerds for trying and having good grades.

@@EduardoFerreira-yi4qc yeah, most of my school life wasn't fun. I had a recent conversation with some of my co-workers and all of us but one said we would never want to do middle or high school again. The one girl who said she would, didn't understand and I told her, point blank, "you are a very pretty young woman, you were popular, you didn't have to struggle like we did." And she even admitted to that
@@Kodick.edits1 unfortunately that tactic doesn't really work when the ones doing this were admittedly good looking. Plus, it wouldn't have mattered, they probably would have just done worse in retaliation.
I think movies and tv are confusing smart kids who have good grades with the kind of nerds who are pretentious and ruin other people's fun and dick ride the teachers, saying stuff like "You forgot to ask us to turn in homework." Those kids are the targets of bullies.
naw for real telling the teacher they forgot the homework was a Grade A ticket to getting your ass beat
Bro someone actually reminded the teacher about the homework in my 7th grade Math class. Luckily it was an accelerated course full of nerds so nobody really complained
I remember some girl in eighth grade who acted weird over the fact that I wore glasses yet was bad at math and complained about essay homework. Sorry for not being a Disney Channel stereotype lol.😂
That's just so blind. I am always nice, I never remind teachers of ANY homework, I always share my things and answers, and I still get bullied every day.
I wasn't too popular in my class. Very rude, troubled kids. Once I realized how stupid they all were I reminded the teacher of homework every single time. I think I singlehandedly caused 2 of the kids in that class to fail
1:01 the only thing I’ve heard someone say about people with braces is “Train Tracks”

As a middle schooler the school social hierarchy definitely still exists but it is not as serious as it is sometimes made out to be and there isn’t really a big popular bully who goes around stuffing people in lockers and stuff.

"so we're best friends right?"

wildest game of telephone
@ i didnt get it either, he was a chill teacher too so there was no reason for anyone to talk bad about him
I think part of the misconception that 'the kids who get the best grades or like 'nerdy' things are bullied' probably comes from misidentifying the source. I wouldn't say I'm actively bullied in school at the moment, only sort of ostracised, but I have been bullied in the past and so have many of my friends. A lot of the time it's not to do with what you like but the way in which you like it; I'm very intense about my interests to the point where it might be off-putting for a lot of people, and sometimes it's just that you have strange mannerisms that. idk make people uncomfortable? and many of my friends (plus me to a certain extent but it's more been harassment than bullying) are bullied for being queer as well. Most of the time it's about being different in a way that people don't like, or challenging the views that people already hold via your interests/mannerisms/identity etc.
You prob yap too much and think to much thats why my class mate gets bullied
@ yes i do i just don't think that people should be ostracised and bullied for being a bit strange? or a bit awkward?
@@minisaebelzahn2299 found one lol
@@mjrino7225 spot on. I graduated in 2017 and from what I observed being fat, unattractive or a racial minority were the only things that interested bullies, which is sad; but fortunately being a misfit by interests and mannerisms didn't. It did however as you say ostracise us though, being into music, books or other non popular things was like a social suicide and you were always going to put off potential friends. And there would be snarky comments thrown in your direction but for the most part you'd just be completely isolated.
I suppose my takeaway from here and the comments is that the bullying style is just outdated. Also I think it really depends on the school and the area. I went to a massive high school with a graduating class of 800, so bullying wasn't much of a thing--and I WAS a loner type. People just minded their own business. At the same time, I've gone to much smaller schools where everyone knew each other, so in those instances I DID get subjected to some bullying. My best friend (at the time) and her brother spat on me when I was walking home, and because I saw them a lot, I couldn't get away from them. (We're not friends anymore btw, I was like 8.) Cramped suburban area with only a handful of kids, you kinda get to know each other, and that stirs up trouble over time. Especially if you find people you don't like that you have to see on a daily basis--that just BREEDS bullying.

I was bullied in school simply because I was a quiet person who kept to myself. I stopped being bullied when I sent my bully to the hospital with a shovel to his face.

I believe that the writers who were born in the 1950's, 60's and 70's were more likely to have suffered or witnessed extreme bullying and therefore put this in their works. That might explain bullying depicted in media from the 1980's to 2000's, but at some point in the 2010's those same things start to seem absolutely nonsensical for anyone to ever do to somebody else.
and in that place is a far more sinister and subtle form of it. the opposite of love is not hate, its indifference.
These stereotypes were set by "coming of age" movies. As a teenager, it's pretty obvious these directors are FAR from being teenagers ꓷX

W-why is the “XD” backwards…. I… how could you?
As a nerd(glasses, good grades, weird tastes, know random facts of plants mushrooms rockets and space, kinda shy) i've never been bullied in my whole life.
You’re kind of the comment I looked for. I was not popular, but neither bullied nor even invisible.
Maybe my school had a really good vibe and/or I looked self-confident.
I'm kinda convinced that since these movies were made by far older adults, these adults had to experience this sort of crap. It only went out of style today because kids realized "that's fucking stupid". Is this a conspiracy theory? Am I right? I don't know.
I think you're partially right. I am convinced Revenge of the Nerds impacted so many writers going forward and had some overexaggerated experiences with jocks and they are now the go to villain in high school. I posted this but I'll say it again, most jocks I knew in high school? They were not this ever present malevolent force of nature. A lot of them were at best nice and even felt sad I didn't invite them to birthday parties since they saw me as a friend and at worse they ignored me but would never go out of their way to spite me. The cliques that were the most viscous to me? Nerds and theater kids.
I think things like the Columbine shooting changed things. People figured out that if someone is bullied enough at school, they might come back with a gun.
Another comment mentioned how after columbine (or smthing) teachers started actually taking bullying more seriously, but things use to be pretty much like the wild west. It's a story that'd make sense to me in why there's a disconnect in media vs current reality
Ah, so it's a sign of media not adapting with the times? That checks out.
Yeah, I'm sure these were based on real instances at one point before the tactics began to change.
Biff Tannen from Back to the Future isn’t just a bully. He's basically a psychopath. He tried running Marty over. TWICE.
Class of 2010: Well, the issue with being a trail blazer is, you always feel the heat.
The sad truth is real life bullying in most cases in subtle and simple, such as excluding someone from a game and calling someone out for having bad grades.
When I was in highschool I had that this one kid that told other people not to talk to another student in my class, as an adult I find it pathetic that someone feels the need to pressure people to become a petty child.
I’ve been genuinely bullied and it’s practically the only thing teachers ignore. I was constantly insulted, and attacked for no reason by a guy I barely even knew for no reason other than that my appearance and voice made him mad. He would also constantly say that I looked like a future child-m$@&?!€%. And don’t get me started about when he found something extremely incriminating on me. He practically blackmailed me and made me do things for him like nearly ruining one of my friendships.
teachers never actually intervene in real bullying..
As an awkward nerd, I am very glad that nerds are cool and respected now
and why were the bullies always sport player/athletes like dawg i’m offended i’m an athlete and i do not do that?😭
that shi would never make sense to me. my jock friends were too tired of practice that they just sleep during class let alone having the energy to bully someone else
To play up the brains vs. brawn stereotype I guess
Many bullies are dumb ugly jocks. I notice they are often jealous of guys who are better looking than them. Not all athletes are bullies though.
Nowadaysbmost "bullying" is simply catcalling and cheap insults, and simply told they're gonna beat u cuz they're bigger than u. I promise u one of the people who does that just can't fight
Yeah, this is true; I was never bullied in high school despite being an admittedly obnoxious kid and that's because I kicked the shit out of someone in the bus one time so I had a bit of a rep, it's kinda funny though because who I was beating up was half my size but that was enough I guess.
Morale of the story; if you will throw hands then they don't want to mess with you.
In my school everyone made fun of each other. Going overboard to the point of "bullying" will just make the whole school turn against you
3:29 i once saw this happens at my school, but that was because the victim wanted to know what happens if you get thrown in a locker
Nahhh , real bullying is in my state just 2 weeks ago a special ed kid was literally beaten by fellow students and killed all circualtion to his left eye and a week later he had to have his eye removed. If anyone, no matter your age, please speak out or help stop any kind of this pointless, ignorant behavior because you never know how far it can actually go.
That is the craziest story I've heard today, like how can people be that cruel
@JustSp1der Some of us haven't evolved from chimps.
@JustSp1der are you living under a rock? lol
@@MicklePickle636 let me guess, it was just because he was sped right? this is stupid
Wow that's horrible
I always hated that in movies bullies were so stereotyped. When I was bullied in school I was beaten up everyday for years. Not being locked in locker or being so stupidly insulted like foureyes
Getting bullied for doing well in school is actually real. Unfortunately, I speak from experience.
I did math competitions and my class mates would hype me up if anything.
This is why I was so happy to see the Amazing Spider-man Andrew Garfield was a normal looking dude who skateboard and was getting teased and beat up it was healing because this was more realistic than most depicition of bullying. Yet people said it was unrealistic cause he was good looking it was so stupid. Times have change now obviously so bullying is more social media based.
80% of real bullying is gossip.
About teachers getting bullied, (im in a school that combines high school and middle school)
We have two music teachers at my school. One teaches string instruments. The other does wind instruments. The strings teacher is gay but has short hair. The winds teacher is straight but has longer hair. They are also pretty close and spend lunch together or visit each other during free periods. So of course, what are a bunch of teenagers gonna do? Ship them. Make up lies about them. It got *diabolical.* I remember actually believing these lies about the two men and staying away from my winds teacher even though he was really nice. People made TikToks and fanart of them kissing, or the gay one IMPREGNATING the straight one. The worst part about it, they both knew what was going on and didn't address it, which only fueled the fire. People saw them walking home together, the straight one going past the subway, etc.
I feel really bad for them because the lies are still going on and they both seem so nonchalant about it all.
If it's bothering you so much, I suggest talking to them about it. you could either tell one of them that you want to speak to them after class or after school and tell them about what you saw those kids do to them, that you find it wrong and ask them why are they ignoring it. I hope this helps. Who knows, some people might just need a little push from other people to open up. But of course you won't know until you wont try.
Why not ask them about it why not tell the principle
@@Rando1481 and what's principal gonna do? Yeah, exactly
Well it only shows how disgusting and vile the ones behind those drawings than the teachers themselves. On another hand, most adults have a decent level of "I-don't-give-a-fuc-" energy-just grown up beyond those meager defamation and idiocy of their teenage years. Who else, other than goldfish'ed idiots on hormones, gonna give a single crap about those lies, assuming the adults aren't too stupid.
I can only imagine those two just laughing about it and merrily continuing their day.
Ngl the most bullying in school we had ever had was just saying the most vile and strange and funny things to each other
The whole thing just comes to the portrayal being outdated… makes sense, because people who graduated 2009< likely aren’t old enough to make a whole a-movie (most directors start in their 30s and get popular in their 40s/50s IF they are lucky).
Like, the teen comedies millenials and most zoomers grew up with were made by boomers/genXers. Really the only thing that made them “current” was the change in clothing and music, wchich is not hard to figure out if you have a whole team of people assigned this job
I’d say bullying now has shifted to more emotional and/or online territory. I mean, from modern bully perspective, why would they risk getting punished for abusic people physically, when they can do that with just words from the comfort of their homes…
2:37 "hello guys welcome do my dudorial on how do operade your leenux ubundu syzdem" is what i think of when i think of middle eastern stereotypes
That’s Indian tho
that’s indian, but also kind of accurate. Indian people tend to be very tech savvy and a lot of them learn english, combine those two together and you get youtube tech tutorials and call scammers from the not so nice ones.
Virtual machines
Thats an Indian stereotype not middle eastern you ignorant brick
@@ThePhrog714 It doesnt really matter if its accurate or not. Half the stereotypes don't hold up statistically. Also if you're ever wrong, you can just hit them with "but you look the same"
i got bullied for being dark, eczema and being exceptionally quiet
bullied for being dark is a W but the other stuff is insane

"face brace"
I had a gym teacher in middle school that everyone hated (except some of the athletes).
She got kicked in the face and got a concussion or something and everyone was making fun of her 😭
