Or they might have disliked his video becoz they definitely like some other youtuber and want to support them ! Some people even get subscribed to TH-camrs just to give a dislike for no reason! That means they don't hate him!
“So I was never going to do a draw my life video because to be honest, I personally don’t think my life is nearly as dramatic or interesting as some of the other draw my life’s that I’ve seen” *proceeds to make the best draw my life video on TH-cam*
He has been here for the longest time, He is the real mvp, no one will EVER replace him, he may be gone one day but he will NEVER be forgotten, and i want him to know, real fans, wont bail on you!
Dear Ryan, I know I'm 7 years late to this video and to you. But I'm eternally grateful to you, life's biggest decisions are made by one's self only. And u made it and succeeded.. i know I didn't go through all that u have experienced. Its been a tough life no matter what.. im so glad that u chose to make videos and earn from it. U followed your heart ❤.. i hope to be the best that I can be.. i have my loved ones supporting me as you do.. let's hope and pray that things will get a whole lot better. And for all the readers who look upon this comment.. i wish u the best.. take care.. be safe. God loves you.. im happy I came across this video as u are too.. 💚

fun fact: Nicole and Richard got married and have kids named Gumball, Darwin and Anais. Now their lives are documented on a channel called cartoon network
It was strong of you to tell your story. I've noticed that sometimes people think less of you if they hear that you've been bullied. A lot of memories came back to me when I watched this video. One time for example I made one of my bullies cry. I sat next to him during one of the breaks. He sat with several of our classmates. I asked him: "why are you so mean to me?" He didn't answer so I asked again...and again and again. He told me to stop asking several times, but in the end he started to cry and begged me to stop. Then I stood up and left. I felt that I had won. In ninth grade (when you're between 15 and 16 years old in Sweden) during a Swedish class, all the girls sat together by on table and all the guys had gathered by another table. There were no place for me by any of the tables and no one did even look at me. The teacher had left the classroom and I thought for myself; "fuck this. Why should I put up with this?". Secretly some girls in my class had told me that they thought I was strong, but because no one wanted to be bullied or ignored themselves, they didn't want to hang out with me. I remember how I just left the classroom and took all my things out of my locker and went home. When my mum came home I told her that I would never go back to that school again. She didn't argue with me and in the next two weeks I started to go to another school in another area. I still hadn't any friends in that school (since I was a bit shy when I was in larger groups and because everyone in my class had known each other since they were very young), but I wasn't bullied. I got good grades and I lost a lot of weight. People had started to call me beautiful before, but now I heard that even more often. I didn't see that now, but one of the more popular guys was actually in love with me for some time...I just realized that when I was older. I struggled with very bad self esteem for a long time after elementary school. It was first when I was 20 years old I started to sort of feel good about myself. It maybe sounds like I was all alone, but I actually had friends outside school during most of my days being bullied. I feel that I owe a lot to my friends who always were there for me. I'm still very close with them.
I don't normally say things like this, but Ryan... I was actually about to give up on everything, but when I watched this video and saw that everything worked out for you, I felt that there was hope so... thank you so much. I don't care if u don't even read this I just wouldn't live with myself if I didn't show my appreciation.
Ryan, even though you probably won't read this. I just want to say that this video made me cry. No, not because of your sad early life, because of how genuine it actually was. I watched this video about a year ago and this was the first video I watched. Now, watching it again, I realize how amazing of a person you truly are. Although you have your downfalls, the light really does shine in you. Many TH-camrs are comedians and make funny content, they will never match the serious, yet hilarious nigahiga content. I just want to say that without you, I may truly be a different person than I would be today. Also, I'm truly grateful for everything you have done for the Youtubing community. TEEHEE!
"Happiness is a choice" - I remember watching this video for the first time and realizing how helpful it was to hear that. To this day, when I am going through lows, I remind myself of this video and those four words. Thank you Ryan Higa for sharing what made you who you are years ago!
Been subbed for 8 years now, and i have never watched this nor seen it wtf. This was truly inspirational. Ily ryan one of the best and funny youtubers ever. Never stop making videos please
It's 2023 and it's been 10 years and this video doesn't feel old enough somehow. His story should inspire each and everyone out there. He has 0 haters and people still on this day love his content. Ryan
Hello Ryan. My name is Jane and I just literally finished reading your book. Of all the places I found it, it was in Target. Great promotion for them at the back of the book by the way. In all honesty I had just gone to the store to buy a few groceries and sketch pad for my daughter. When I past through the book section, yours caught my attention. I past it up at first and just went straight to get the things I needed. For some reason I got a nagging feeling I should buy. So I went back to where I had seen it and stared at it for a minute, even with my daughter tugging on my over shirt telling me she wanted Legos and not a sketch pad this time. I snatched it up and bought it on a whim. Something I rarely do. I had originally planned to read a chapter a day, but by the third day I couldn't put it down. Yes, you and your ghost writer are that good. Thank you for sharing your story. If I had known there was also TH-cam video version of it, I would still buy the book. I love to to read and write. Ugh, this is slowly turning into a novel. Not my intention. Long story short, you've inspired me to attempt writing articles again. Although the thought of it makes me spit-less. Actually I get a dry mouth when I think about it and try to do it. Thanks again for the inspiring an unknown English woman in the States. Jane
It's 2:54 am now at my country and I'm watching this because I came across the letter that my 16 year old self has written. She said that if ever I get sad and need advice, just watch this video. For being an inspiration from my old-self till now, thank you very much, Ryan.
Play My Ace I didn't mean in a shallow way. MUCH for the contrary. I meant in a VINDICATIVE way.Like avril lavigne's song skater boy:A person who is reject by someone or by the world because this someone or the world thinks the person has no value.Then,in a few years the person becomes strong and sucessful in life proving for the people who reject him/her that they were wrong.There are many stories like his:Mark Zuckerberg is dumped by his girlfriend and creates facebook, JK rowling used to suffer from abuse from her husband and creates harry potter,Chuck norris used to suffer of bullying because he was a foreign,Gandhi was shy and because of that was constanly understimated,and i'm not sure if it is Einstein or Edison that the teacher called dumb. The underlying message is that all these people just like Ryan,was being telled by the world that they didn't have no value, but then somehow they overcomed all the pain and prove for the world that they were wrong. THAT'S what I meant.
I remember the last time I saw this was when it came out when I was in middle school. Now I’m a college student and after 8 years, I randomly remembered this video and decided to watch it. It feels so weird just how much more I relate to this video now, after going through middle and high school, and how motivated I feel to work to improve myself. Thank you Ryan! You’re a pillar of my childhood and will not be forgotten!
Alex Ceja It's unfair to call someone a 'bitch' for not liking someone else. And it's not like she was cruel to Ryan. She just said "no". Do not think that if someone does different to what you expect them to do, they are bad persons. I'd be just as unfair if someone else expected of you to do or be something, and they call you a "bitch" for doing what you wanted to do. Not everything is nor should be under our control. Everyone has their own lives and ways. If you think thay everyone should fulfill your wishes, you'll get constantly frustrated and angry. Have a nice day!
I had to pause the video for a minute. It got really emotional foe me. To this day I still deal with the feeling of being sad and depressed. the bad part about it; I don't even know why. Of course all my siblings outshine me and so do all my friends. It doesn't help that I am basically the lowest guy on the totem pole when I leave home and return to the military base where I am stationed. I always feel like I'm leaving something behind. I enjpyed watching this and it has definitely inslired me to look at things differently. Thank you.
I’ve battled dark thoughts buillies and rejections I’m now battling the bad things thank you Ryan you make me feel happy and confident Thank you 🙏 for making people with problems more confident and happy I don’t know if your reading this but if you are thank you
@@sometimeshotpocketscanchan2465 You didn't even put the first parentheses. Don't go teaching other people about punctuation if you don't know how to use them yourself. Also this is pretty bad timing to be a grammar Nazi.
This video helped me out a lot when I went through a similar stage in high school. I always look at this video whenever I feel sad cuz it never fails to let me see a positive side in my situation. Thanks for always bringing joy and encouragement to your viewers and fellow lamps :)
i wonder if "richard" was watching he would probably be dying of jealousy thinking how ryan now has millions of people supporting him and probably gets more money than him
Motivation man, having something to prove or having a safer place where you can fit in and make people and yourself happy, that shits addicting and it's what drives them. That, and I think everyone has there sad moments
I find it is mostly because when you go through that stuff you learn to make others happy and strive to do so, which is why most of the popular ones have been through it.
That's... Thanks for that, really, Ryan. I was going through a hard time in the last few days and you just gave me a boost to stand up and make things different and better. I never imagined a random 6 years old video of yours would someday pop-up in my feed to make me feel motivated. You don't know me, but thanks a lot, Ryan. Keep up with your work.
Ryan, you have been one of my biggest inspirations for so long. I am a sophomore in high school now, and I remember watching this video as a kid and I thought nothing of it. Now i see myself in the exact same boat as you once were. I have been rejected and treated by less by so many people that it hurts. My brother went to college on scholarship whereas I am here in my room making videos about basketball with one subscriber. I came back to this video and was excited to watch for the memories, but I ended up crying as soon as it ended. Ryan, you changed my life. You are the greatest youtuber and role model that anyone should ever ask for. I really loved your videos, and on the small chance you see this, I hope you can make more park course videos lol. Thank you so much for everything you did for me. -6!X
Fire Wolf Then they have misadventures. Also the "adopt a fish" may be referred to Darwin though. But Richard would have to get him a mysterious van. Hope that was not a spoiler
It's been years since I've watched this video! It was in my recommendation so I decided to watch it. And let me just say this is so inspirational. Sometimes I still do feel down and everything but Ryan's right It's all about your mind and body. What you think and how you want to choose to feel that way. Thanks Ryan.
This video is really one of your best, if not the best one that you've created. No, it's not as funny as the others, but it's really nice to get your backstory. I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that hard stuff, but I'm really glad you're happy and successful today :) You deserve all of that, and more, for being so amazing. The next part is kinda long/dark/serious, so if y'all don't wanna read it, then don't. I've read the book based on it many times, and somehow, I cry every time, and I usually never cry to books. I wouldn't be who I am if it wasn't for your book; perhaps I wouldn't even be here. You convinced me that life is going to be better, even if you can't see it in the moment. In 2017, I was really depressed. True, my life didn't suck as much as yours. But I really felt worthless, like you did. I thought that my friends only hung out with me out of sympathy or smt (bc I was a loser) Worst of all, I felt that no one cared about my depression (of course, that was mostly my own fault for not telling them... whoops) Then I read your book and instantly connected with it. It convinced me that I could start my life over again. That I could create my own fate. So I started making my own TH-cam videos. And no, I didn't become popular or anything, but I had fun. Then I started at a new school, where I didn't thrive, so my depression started kicking in again. I would literally rather die than go to this school. I dropped out, started making TH-cam videos again, tried to be happy. Each day, I kept telling myself "if Ryan could overcome his depression, so can I". It didn't make me happy, but it gave me hope. After Christmas, I started taking depression meds and started at a theatre school, where literally everyone was weird and mentally ill. Like me. For the first time in my life, I fit in. So you were right, Ryan. Life will get better, but if you lose all hope, it won't. Thank you for making me realise that. I know you might never read this, but if you do... I owe you a lot. You will always have a lamp in me. I fart you. Less than three.
This man tricked us into watching a motivational video, and honestly coming back to watch it again I realize that I needed it now more than ever. Literally made me tear up because that's how shitty things have been and this gave me the courage to at least try and pick myself up. I know you're not making content very often anymore (which is understandable given everything going on in the world and maybe with your personal life as well), and I know you probably won't see this, but thank you for this video. I didn't even know I needed it until I watched it and I just felt the need to thank you, even if you never see this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this video, even if it's from several years ago.
I never got bullied myself, but i have been around many who have, its a tough thing to go through, but one thing i have noticed is even though the internet can be a bad place it also has the most supportive people, just try your best to enjoy life, and like Ryan said, try and live life through a different perspective :)
'Bout the bully thing i also had the same problem until something inside of me snapped i blacked out the next thing i know i was in the directors office and the bully next to me missing three teeth and with a bleeding nose since then the bully didn't dare to touch me ever again and i became kind of the feared one so my advice is snap out of it and fuck them up mentally or physically
Goku San i second this. I was also bullied and snapped as well. I also ended up at the principal's office and in the end, I wasn't expelled but the bully was.
I get bullied by words, that I became so dramatic and think of it all the time and then when I'm alone, I think of killing myself because they ditch me through people because I have this personality that i really want to make people laugh and happy by all ways like making myself look crazy and I'm happy because of that but then again they keep bullying me. And thats sad because i don't really have so many friends and I don't understand people because of my childish personality and that makes my life miserable even now
This video means the world to me. It changed my life when I first saw it years ago. Ryan Higa, you will always be the greatest TH-camr in terms of creativity, content, and spirit put together. But even then, it's still less than three
I’m currently an educator and I grew up watching your videos. Your YT videos are classic/timeless-tier. Will definitely recommend these to my younger students because you’re a great role model. What sets you apart is your attitude and mindset, Ryan! Those are rare to find even in pool of talents. Always rooting for you!
This is actually really bittersweet to watch, as I saw this when this video came out and was aged 9 at the time, and remembered how profound this video was for me
My childhood back in elementary school felt like nothing. the only people used to "bully" me is by ignoring me. ever since i started middle school i got used to living in solitude. Literally nothing happens during my middle school years even my family dosen't try to entertain. It only during high school that my life has changed. i met 6 people who don't communicate with the public, i started hanging out with them and found many things in common. It was for the first time that i smiled and laugh and it was only because of those 6 misfits. To this day, thanks to my new friends i never felt alone. :)
You’ve heard this a million times probably but I’ve watched this video a handful of times these past few years. You’re an inspiration and I’m following your great attitude from now on.
You tricked me into watching a motivational video

Whenever I feel low in my life I watch this video.I feel this video gives me confidence to fight back
yup so true
Agreed:)
yep!
yes it does :) and don't worry hang in there fight back and I might have a same life as yours...
I know same, this gives me so much confidence I hope I have a life like Ryan does
This is honestly the most inspirational thing I've seen in a decade. Thank you Ryan

*I’ve made a huge mistake.*
I'm sure she wouldn't care unless she is a gold digger.
“I have made a severe lack of judgement”
Still wouldn't be into Ryan. Only his fame and success.
Or maybe not? Maybe she rejected him because she just didn't feel that she clicked with him. Different strokes for different folks and so on, y'know?

It's 2023 and it's been 10 years and this video doesn't feel old enough somehow. His story should inspire each and everyone out there. He has 0 haters and people still on this day love his content. Ryan
I loved Ryan for his videos but now i respect him so much for the person he is....... Love you........ (btw my bday is also on 6th june.)

Hello Ryan. My name is Jane and I just literally finished reading your book. Of all the places I found it, it was in Target. Great promotion for them at the back of the book by the way. In all honesty I had just gone to the store to buy a few groceries and sketch pad for my daughter. When I past through the book section, yours caught my attention. I past it up at first and just went straight to get the things I needed. For some reason I got a nagging feeling I should buy.
So I went back to where I had seen it and stared at it for a minute, even with my daughter tugging on my over shirt telling me she wanted Legos and not a sketch pad this time. I snatched it up and bought it on a whim. Something I rarely do.
I had originally planned to read a chapter a day, but by the third day I couldn't put it down. Yes, you and your ghost writer are that good.
Thank you for sharing your story. If I had known there was also TH-cam video version of it, I would still buy the book. I love to to read and write.
Ugh, this is slowly turning into a novel. Not my intention.
Long story short, you've inspired me to attempt writing articles again. Although the thought of it makes me spit-less. Actually I get a dry mouth when I think about it and try to do it.
Thanks again for the inspiring an unknown English woman in the States.
Jane
Jane Tucker h.
It would take me about 50 minutes to make up what u said nice
no one will read that
That was so inspiring I almost passed out
Jane Tucker omg that is so inspiring and sweet!!
The fact that this hits Years after, means alot, the message is pure and that's what we need.
It's 2:54 am now at my country and I'm watching this because I came across the letter that my 16 year old self has written. She said that if ever I get sad and need advice, just watch this video. For being an inspiration from my old-self till now, thank you very much, Ryan.
"Dick was such a Richard too me" -Ryan Higa
The girl who reject you must be SOOO regreting now that you are a youtuber star ;)
xDDDDDDDD
lol
TH-camr Star? Jesus .
that sounds so shallow, regretting only when he turned famous
Play My Ace I didn't mean in a shallow way. MUCH for the contrary. I meant in a VINDICATIVE way.Like avril lavigne's song skater boy:A person who is reject by someone or by the world because this someone or the world thinks the person has no value.Then,in a few years the person becomes strong and sucessful in life proving for the people who reject him/her that they were wrong.There are many stories like his:Mark Zuckerberg is dumped by his girlfriend and creates facebook, JK rowling used to suffer from abuse from her husband and creates harry potter,Chuck norris used to suffer of bullying because he was a foreign,Gandhi was shy and because of that was constanly understimated,and i'm not sure if it is Einstein or Edison that the teacher called dumb.
The underlying message is that all these people just like Ryan,was being telled by the world that they didn't have no value, but then somehow they overcomed all the pain and prove for the world that they were wrong. THAT'S what I meant.
Wait it’s 2018 and u were born in 1990...

I remember the last time I saw this was when it came out when I was in middle school. Now I’m a college student and after 8 years, I randomly remembered this video and decided to watch it. It feels so weird just how much more I relate to this video now, after going through middle and high school, and how motivated I feel to work to improve myself. Thank you Ryan! You’re a pillar of my childhood and will not be forgotten!
Now Nicole is cursing herself for rejecting u

It's unfair to call someone a 'bitch' for not liking someone else.
And it's not like she was cruel to Ryan. She just said "no".
Do not think that if someone does different to what you expect them to do, they are bad persons.
I'd be just as unfair if someone else expected of you to do or be something, and they call you a "bitch" for doing what you wanted to do.
Not everything is nor should be under our control. Everyone has their own lives and ways.
If you think thay everyone should fulfill your wishes, you'll get constantly frustrated and angry.
Have a nice day!

I had to pause the video for a minute. It got really emotional foe me. To this day I still deal with the feeling of being sad and depressed. the bad part about it; I don't even know why. Of course all my siblings outshine me and so do all my friends. It doesn't help that I am basically the lowest guy on the totem pole when I leave home and return to the military base where I am stationed. I always feel like I'm leaving something behind. I enjpyed watching this and it has definitely inslired me to look at things differently. Thank you.

Thank you 🙏 for making people with problems more confident and happy
I don’t know if your reading this but if you are thank you
Battle with your punctuation too , lol just kidding but seriously)
Kapgi Das seriously? He’s talking about how someone helped him through harming himself and you want to correct his grammar?
I have bad grammar
@@sometimeshotpocketscanchan2465 You didn't even put the first parentheses. Don't go teaching other people about punctuation if you don't know how to use them yourself. Also this is pretty bad timing to be a grammar Nazi.

This video helped me out a lot when I went through a similar stage in high school. I always look at this video whenever I feel sad cuz it never fails to let me see a positive side in my situation. Thanks for always bringing joy and encouragement to your viewers and fellow lamps :)
I don't get bullied, I don't bully other people, I'm just that random student...😳

to this day, I watch this video whenever I'm sad, and it always lifts me up! I love you Ryan! Thank you So Much
i wonder if "richard" was watching he would probably be dying of jealousy thinking how ryan now has millions of people supporting him and probably gets more money than him
It's probably a bittersweet thing for him. It's like, "Hey this guy I knew in school is now a popular youtuber! But, I treated him like crap"
+SteveGamesFTW yeah
And i bet that "nicole" also felt bad for him if he watched this
My Name Was Richard ;-; Changed It To Cody.
Plots twist, Will is secretly Richard
It feels like every popular you tuber has a super depressing childhood
YES
+MistahLegoProductions I KNOW! I'm like, man... is this why they're so good at entertaining others?
Motivation man, having something to prove or having a safer place where you can fit in and make people and yourself happy, that shits addicting and it's what drives them. That, and I think everyone has there sad moments
Jake Gregory My sad moment is when my OTP dies. Does that count as a tragic childhood?
I find it is mostly because when you go through that stuff you learn to make others happy and strive to do so, which is why most of the popular ones have been through it.
I watched this video just now, but it was great. I loved it. Very inspiring❤

Oh rayn your so poor i am sorry for you
That's... Thanks for that, really, Ryan.
I was going through a hard time in the last few days and you just gave me a boost to stand up and make things different and better.
I never imagined a random 6 years old video of yours would someday pop-up in my feed to make me feel motivated.
You don't know me, but thanks a lot, Ryan. Keep up with your work.

To be Honest I cry every time I see this video. Not because its sad but because I love Ryan Higa. 😍
Nkaujchee Vang who doeant like Ryan :> also I love ur profile pic.. I must be creepy right now.
Nkaujchee Vang. To be honest i feel bad about you i mean to me it nothing
I feel sad because at the end I can relate

I wonder How "Nicole" must've been feeling if she saw this video Lmao
ikr
I wonder how Richard must've been feeling
haha i think soo f*** up😂
Lol
She probably cried for her whole life
Ryan, you have been one of my biggest inspirations for so long. I am a sophomore in high school now, and I remember watching this video as a kid and I thought nothing of it. Now i see myself in the exact same boat as you once were. I have been rejected and treated by less by so many people that it hurts. My brother went to college on scholarship whereas I am here in my room making videos about basketball with one subscriber. I came back to this video and was excited to watch for the memories, but I ended up crying as soon as it ended. Ryan, you changed my life. You are the greatest youtuber and role model that anyone should ever ask for. I really loved your videos, and on the small chance you see this, I hope you can make more park course videos lol. Thank you so much for everything you did for me. -6!X
My favourite draw my life

Why do all the famous youtubers start off with no friends???
Ikr! It's a mystery...
They try to escape reality and just be where they think they that's where they belong
cuz no freinds=thuogh life + camera + youtube=lot of veiws= lot of subs=famous
hope that helped cha' xD jk.

A girl named Nicole and a boy named Richard... When is gumball going to come?
omg I did not see that, they're probably going to adopt a fish
And have a young smart Einstein daughter named Aneis
+liizzset and then they have a pet fish named Darwin
Fire Wolf Then they have misadventures. Also the "adopt a fish" may be referred to Darwin though. But Richard would have to get him a mysterious van. Hope that was not a spoiler
Lol
It's been years since I've watched this video! It was in my recommendation so I decided to watch it. And let me just say this is so inspirational. Sometimes I still do feel down and everything but Ryan's right It's all about your mind and body. What you think and how you want to choose to feel that way. Thanks Ryan.
This video is really one of your best, if not the best one that you've created. No, it's not as funny as the others, but it's really nice to get your backstory. I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that hard stuff, but I'm really glad you're happy and successful today :) You deserve all of that, and more, for being so amazing. The next part is kinda long/dark/serious, so if y'all don't wanna read it, then don't.
I've read the book based on it many times, and somehow, I cry every time, and I usually never cry to books. I wouldn't be who I am if it wasn't for your book; perhaps I wouldn't even be here. You convinced me that life is going to be better, even if you can't see it in the moment. In 2017, I was really depressed. True, my life didn't suck as much as yours. But I really felt worthless, like you did. I thought that my friends only hung out with me out of sympathy or smt (bc I was a loser) Worst of all, I felt that no one cared about my depression (of course, that was mostly my own fault for not telling them... whoops) Then I read your book and instantly connected with it. It convinced me that I could start my life over again. That I could create my own fate. So I started making my own TH-cam videos. And no, I didn't become popular or anything, but I had fun.
Then I started at a new school, where I didn't thrive, so my depression started kicking in again. I would literally rather die than go to this school. I dropped out, started making TH-cam videos again, tried to be happy. Each day, I kept telling myself "if Ryan could overcome his depression, so can I". It didn't make me happy, but it gave me hope.
After Christmas, I started taking depression meds and started at a theatre school, where literally everyone was weird and mentally ill. Like me. For the first time in my life, I fit in.
So you were right, Ryan. Life will get better, but if you lose all hope, it won't. Thank you for making me realise that. I know you might never read this, but if you do... I owe you a lot. You will always have a lamp in me. I fart you. Less than three.
Bro, u typed a whole essay for just 4 likes. Y do people do this!?!
Nice
something magical about you.
Hope to see you in a hollywood movie soon :)

This man tricked us into watching a motivational video, and honestly coming back to watch it again I realize that I needed it now more than ever. Literally made me tear up because that's how shitty things have been and this gave me the courage to at least try and pick myself up. I know you're not making content very often anymore (which is understandable given everything going on in the world and maybe with your personal life as well), and I know you probably won't see this, but thank you for this video. I didn't even know I needed it until I watched it and I just felt the need to thank you, even if you never see this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this video, even if it's from several years ago.
the teehee ruiened the moment for me

+JoeyPlaysMC aha me too

I cried so hard. I know how you feel, im going through that but I am getting beat up & worse.
I never got bullied myself, but i have been around many who have, its a tough thing to go through, but one thing i have noticed is even though the internet can be a bad place it also has the most supportive people, just try your best to enjoy life, and like Ryan said, try and live life through a different perspective :)
'Bout the bully thing i also had the same problem until something inside of me snapped i blacked out the next thing i know i was in the directors office and the bully next to me missing three teeth and with a bleeding nose since then the bully didn't dare to touch me ever again and i became kind of the feared one so my advice is snap out of it and fuck them up mentally or physically
Goku San i second this. I was also bullied and snapped as well. I also ended up at the principal's office and in the end, I wasn't expelled but the bully was.
bla bla YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT MEAAANNNSSSS.
its ok thats cool doh
I get bullied by words, that I became so dramatic and think of it all the time and then when I'm alone, I think of killing myself because they ditch me through people because I have this personality that i really want to make people laugh and happy by all ways like making myself look crazy and I'm happy because of that but then again they keep bullying me. And thats sad because i don't really have so many friends and I don't understand people because of my childish personality and that makes my life miserable even now
TBH, this is the best DRAW MY LIFE I have ever seen!
for me it stand on the first place with pewds's one
This video means the world to me. It changed my life when I first saw it years ago. Ryan Higa, you will always be the greatest TH-camr in terms of creativity, content, and spirit put together. But even then, it's still less than three
I want to be exactly like Ryan so inspirational
Tauheed Soloman no don't be ur self
Yeah after his Stupid Inspiration saying video!!!
Exactly like ryan? He was bullied tho

You really are an inspiration ryan
It was so inspiring so amazing ..... I loved it .....

I’m currently an educator and I grew up watching your videos. Your YT videos are classic/timeless-tier. Will definitely recommend these to my younger students because you’re a great role model. What sets you apart is your attitude and mindset, Ryan! Those are rare to find even in pool of talents. Always rooting for you!
By far, this is the most coolest draw my life.
I wish there were more people like ryan, he's an amazing person

Totally😂😂😂
That's the point of the TEEHEE. To make all of his videos never serious.

My childhood back in elementary school felt like nothing. the only people used to "bully" me is by ignoring me. ever since i started middle school i got used to living in solitude. Literally nothing happens during my middle school years even my family dosen't try to entertain. It only during high school that my life has changed. i met 6 people who don't communicate with the public, i started hanging out with them and found many things in common. It was for the first time that i smiled and laugh and it was only because of those 6 misfits. To this day, thanks to my new friends i never felt alone. :)
idk why d'f i just commented this. its obviously not as bad as everyone else's :/
Sakata Swagtoki Joestar nah its great to hear how you're happy now
This is a good summary story T^T, it struck my feels a bit.
I got the exact thing too

You’ve heard this a million times probably but I’ve watched this video a handful of times these past few years. You’re an inspiration and I’m following your great attitude from now on.
