~Lauren and David
Fabulous message, fabulous project, so happy to be involved. Let's spread it round the world. SAY NO TO BULLIES!!!
Directing this music video was one of the most enjoyable projects I've ever been involved in as this was a labour of love by everyone involved and we couldn't be more proud of the end result. Thanks to all those who gave of their time and passion to get this important message out. And thanks to everyone who watches this video and shares it with others. Like minds can bring about change! Tom
Stunning!!!
Tom McSweeney why
As a Clinical Psychologist working with young people I often see the damage that bullying does to children's sense of self worth. I love the message of this clip, I think it goes to the heart of what the victims need to hear, to stand tall and be proud of being yourself. I also love the subtle message when one of the bullying boys puts his arm out to stop the lead bully attacking the victim a second time. Often this is all it takes, one of the group saying no in one way or another. I have shown the clip to a number of young people over the last few days and they love it and the message. Well done everyone who worked on this project. You did a first class job!
Put a stop to bullying! Be brave & stand up for those that are going through difficult times. You will then look back on your life knowing you have contributed to someone's happiness & well being which will have a life time impact! You are a stronger person with leadership qualities to say NO yo bullying then being a follower ...,
IT IS ONLY WHEN YOU HELP THAT BLESSINGS KEEP COMING BACK TO YOU
Great song and great video i hope it will help alot of kids !!!!

Congrats!
I love this!
I dropped out of school halfway through year 11 last year because of bullying and the issues it has caused for me, and never got to graduate. I think this has a brilliant message and hopefully more people open their minds to bullying and realise that something bigger needs to be done about it.
Wonderful video guys :) #freeyoubeyou
best song i have ever heard
FREEDOM
This was awesome!
Amazing work on this!
By the way I think that when you stick together with friends you wont get bullied as much as you do when you are by your self so awsome video because it really shows how to stick together great job:)
I was in the video! :D
Good for you Alexandra, you all did a wonderful job of making a stand to be yourselves!
Im watching this because I'm bullied and have always been. Today was one of the worst and nobody in real life will listen :C the internet is a better place Imma live here
I fell your pain I get bullied all the time!
I was bullied ever since i started school and its horrible and i wouldn't wish that pain on anybody
I have the same experience and starting high school has doubled the pain!
This song is so inspirational
No kid should ever be bullied
It's not fair
Everyone is different in their own ways, no one should be treated badly just because they are different
Bullies don't know how much they can hurt a person
Take a stand for what you believe in
Chase your dreams
Believe in yourself and you can soar
Every one wants to enjoy their childhood, they want to enjoy school, they want to enjoy life, they want to live life to the best, nothing should have to bring them down
Don't discriminate and never give up, stay strong
Believe in yourself, in love, in trust, in magic, in angels, in happy endings, in god, in promises, in miracles, in people and happiness, in never giving up, in following your passions and making your dreams come true, in always having fun, in helping people, in making the world a better place, in changing for the better
You are braver than you believe
Stronger than you seem
And smarter than you think
The future belongs to those who believe
In the beauty of their dreams
Magical
Dream
Imagine
Believe
Wish
Beauty
Joy
Inspire
Love
Hope
Forget all the reasons why it won't work and believe the one reason why it will
Believe nothing
No matter where you read it
Or who has said it, not even if
I have said it, unless it agrees
With your own reason and
Your own common sense
Just because you fail once
It doesn't mean your going
To fail at everything
Keep trying, hold on and
Always, always, always
Believe in yourself
Because if you don't, then who will
So keep your head high, keep your
Chin up
And most importantly
Keep smiling
Because life's a beautiful thing
And there's so much to smile about
Dream
The future belongs to those
Who believe in their dreams
A bird sitting on a tree is never
Afraid of the branch breaking
Because her trust is not on the
Branch but on it's own wings
Always believe in yourself
Do not
Believe all the
Things you
Tell yourself
Late at night
Miracles happen to those who believe
Believe in yourself
You are a star
Believe in yourself and
There will come a day when
Other will have no choice
But to believe with you
If you don't believe in
Miracles in life...
Then you forgotten that
You are one
Imagine
With all your mind
Believe
with all your heart
Achieve
with all your might
Love is not
About how much
You say I love you
But how much you
Prove that it's true
Stand up for what
You believe in
Even if it means
Standing alone
Believe
Themselves to be
If I believe I cannot
Do something
It makes me incapable
Of doing it
But when I believe
I can
Then I acquire the ability
To do it
Even if I didn't have it
In the beginning
When writing
the story
of your life
don't let anyone
else hold the pen
How others treat me
Is their path
How I respond
Is mine
Believe
For when the
Light grows
Stronger... The
Darkness dims
To accomplish
Great things
We must not
Only act, but
Also dream
Not only plan
But also believe
I believe
That everything happens for a reason
People change
So that you can learn to let go
Things go
Wrong
So rant you appreciate them when things go right
You believe lies
So you eventually learn to trust
No one but yourself
And sometimes good things
Fall apart
So better things can
Fall together
I may not
Have gone where
I intended
To go
But I think
I've ended up
Where I
Needed to be
Live in such a way
That is someone
Spoke badly of you
No one
Would
Believe it
First, think
Second, believe
Third, dream
And finally dare
Your the
Peanut to my Butter
The Star to my Burst
The Pop to my Tart
The Fruit to my Loop
But Most importantly
your the best to my friend
What is a friend?
a friend is someone who you think your life would
be different if they didn't exist. a friend is
someone who never leaves you out, you are
always included when you are with them. a friend
is there for you, no matter what
I just wanted to remind you
that I love you a lot and
thank god everyday for
blessing me with a friend
that is just simply amazing
so when you think that
is no one who understands or
cares remember that
I love youuu and try to
smile
strangers
think I'm quiet
my friends
think I'm out-going
my bestfriends
know that I'm completely insane
friends are the
flowers in the garden
of life
a true friend
laughs at your stories
even when they're
not so good
and sympathizes
with your troubles
even when they're
not so bad
there are many types of
ships. there are wooden
ships, plastic ships and
metal ships. but the best
and most important types
of ships are friendships
a memory lasts forever
never does it die
true friends stay together
and never say goodbye
i got your back you got mine
i'll help you out anytime
to see you hurt to see you cry
makes me weep and wanna die
and if you agree to never fight
it wouldn't matter who's wrong or right
it a broken heart needs a mend
i'll be there right to the end
if your cheeks are wet from drops of tears
don't worry let go of your fears
hand in hand love is sent
we'll be friends till the end
we were given two hands to hold
two legs to walk
two eyes to see
two ears to listen
but why only one heart?
because the other one
was given to someone for us to find
life is too short
grudges are a waste of perfect happiness
laugh when you can
apologize when you should
and let go of what you can't change
love deeply and forgive quickly
take chances, give everything
and have no regrets
life is too short to be unhappy
you have to take the good with the bad
smile when you're sad
love what you got
and always remember what you had
always forgive but never forget
learn from your mistakes
but never regret
people change and things go wrong
but always remember
that life goes on
a friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you just the same
a good friend
knows all your best stories
a best friend
has lived them with you
dear best friend
you're weird
you're stupid
I'm like that, too, I guess that's why we are
so perfect together
thanks for always being there for me
you're like a sister to me
i love you
best friends
are the people in life that
make you laugh a little louder
smile a little brighter and
live a little better
I'm crazy
I'm silly
I'm funny
I'm cute
I'm brave
I'm girly
I'm sweet
I'm loud
I'm cheerful
I'm opinionated
I'm energetic
I'm annoying
I'm fun
I'm outgoing
sometimes I'm not everything i wish I could be
but I'm everything i need to be
I'm everything i need to be
I'm just me
and i like it like that
walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light
i don't regret the things i have done or the things i have chosen not to do because whatever I've done, i must have done something right because i ended up with you
friends are like stars
they come and go
but the ones that stay
are the ones that glow
the days were so crazy
that people think we're high
and days we're so bored
we laugh so hard we cry
all the inside jokes
and saying remember when
just some of the reasons
we'll always be best friends
i stopped fighting my inner demons
we're on the same side now
true friends are hard to find
that's why I'm glad I've got you
I'm not a perfect girl
my hair doesn't always stay in place
i spill things a lot. I'm pretty clumsy
sometimes i have a broken heart
my friends and i sometimes fight
maybe some days nothing goes right
but when i think about it and take a step back
i remember how amazing life truly is
and that maybe just maybe i like being unperfect
just remember that nobody is perfect
everyone is unique and have different personalities
don't let anyone get to you
its your life and only you can control it
be brave and just be yourself
don't hate on yourself because you are perfect the way you are
Do you care if I use this?
+Kendall Ramsden-wutke
I don't mind
Go ahead
What are you wanting to use it for?
I love this song stop bullying and speek up! :-)
To all.
My school may be doing something like this to!
Tell them to do it!! That's so cool!!
Thanks
i cant belive i found something so good
Hi, I am Simi, BTW FABU music vid & BEAUTIMOUS song & message! I am working on a music vid ... I am a character from the Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark Hunter series & her Young Adult Chronicle's of Nick series & there was a letter to Bullies from the Anti Bully Brigade that I want to share with you...
Brynna's Letter to a Bully:
Dear Tormentor,
Today, you made me cry. You made me feel like the lowest piece of dirt that has ever walked this earth. You stole a piece of my heart and soul, and my self-esteem. Just when I had finally managed to convince myself that I wasn’t quite the ugliest or dumbest person alive, you came in and reaffirmed that never ending playback in my head that insults me even when you’re not around. The same playback that tells me, over and over, life sucks, and it’s never going to get any better no matter what I do, because I don’t deserve anything better. I am nothing and nothing is all I’ll ever be. Even when I try my very best, like I did today, it’s not good enough to make me human or worth something in the world’s eyes. I don’t need you or anyone else to reaffirm something I already know about myself.
My hurt didn’t show on the outside because I learned a long time ago to make sure that you couldn’t take that pleasure, too; that you and the others who think you’re funny or witty or cute, or are too afraid of you to do anything more than follow along, couldn’t see how much pain you’ve caused me. The times in the past when I made the mistake of letting you see my tears, all of you laughed at me over them, and you made it worse. You made me choke on my dignity, and hate that which had been a source of pride until you mocked it.
You have kicked me in my heart, and ravaged what little self-worth I had managed to scrape together.
But that’s okay, because that is what makes me stronger than you and your followers. I don’t have to point out someone else’s flaws. I don’t need to put someone else down or mock someone in order to feel better about myself, or to prove my worth, authority, power or intelligence. The mere fact that you do proves that we who refrain from such cruelty are a superior species. We are the ones who have evolved beyond simple animal behavior that makes a base creature attack something it doesn’t understand; something that is different or not as strong.
It doesn’t take superior intelligence to tear down someone and/or their hard work. To mock their best effort or a physical trait that can’t be helped. It doesn’t prove that you’re more intelligent or better in any way. A stick of dynamite can level a building, but it can’t build one.
You have made me afraid to go to school. You’ve made me sick to my stomachwhenever I think about going to work. You’ve made me afraid in my own home. Youhave needlessly insulted me in stores, on the phone, or wherever I accidentallystumbled upon you. You have ruined my past, my present, my day, and stolen a part ofmy soul.Like the rest of us, you come from all kinds of backgrounds. Some not very happy, andcruelty is all you’ve ever known, so you lash out in an effort to ease your own pain.Others like you have no excuse whatsoever. Your background is above reproach.Rather, it's a vicious need inside you that we don't understand, and it's why it's so hardto identify you at times. You’ve been my teachers, clergy, my fellow students,coworkers, bosses, principals, sometimes you were a former friend or even family Ionce trusted.You’ve taken things I told you in utter confidence, and twisted them into lies to be usedagainst me. Without cause, you have told lies about me. You have refused to see meas a human being. You have kicked me when I was up, and you have kicked me when Iwas down.But today, you will kick me no more. I will no longer be your verbal or physical punchingbag. Today, I discovered the secret that will never allow you or your friends who will oneday turn on you too, to hurt me again.Today as I lay broken and bleeding in that dark place I crawl into when I think I can’ttake it anymore, I found something extraordinary.My humanity.As my soul screamed in bleeding agony and I wanted to die rather than live one moreday in a world where you exist, I realized that my tears and ability to feel pain withoutlashing out to return that hurt to someone else makes me human.I find my pleasure when someone smiles over something I've said or done. When Imake them feel better about themselves and their lives. When I look at an okay drawingand tell the artist that it is a work of art, worthy of hanging in a museum. The smile ontheir face, the pride that glows in their eyes, the happiness I see inside them makes myheart swell. It gives me a joy you can never understand.Kindness costs nothing to give, but to the person who receives it, it could be the onething that saves their life. The one thing that gives them hope in their darkest hour. Noact of charity or kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.In the immortal words of Maya Angelou: ...people will forget what you said, people willforget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.Whenever they think of me, I want them to smile... And I will never allow you to takethat from me.No matter how you taunt or beat me, I will not become you, and pay your crueltyforward. In time, you will be gone from my life, and I will move forward to become evenstronger and smarter than I am today. Because I can celebrate with others and applaudtheir efforts with an open heart capable of love and acceptance, I will evolve to an evengreater level of happiness while you lay mired in your hatred and bitterness.More than that, I discovered the best secret of all. I don’t care what you think because Idon’t think enough of you to listen. You're not worth the energy it would cost me to hateyou. There is nothing about you that I want to be. I don’t want your clothes. I don’t wantyour friends. Your job. I don’t want your life, and I definitely don’t want to live anexistence where I have to hurt someone else in order to feel good about myself.I will not let you steal my humanity. You will not teach me your hatred or intolerance.Not today. Not ever.In spite of what you think, you’re not anonymous. You’re ubiquitous. No matter whereyou come from, or the clothes you wear, or the computer screen you hide behind, youare just like all thieves. Rather than work and create something yourself, you prefer tosteal from someone else. Even your emotions are stolen.And while I might not be able to see the future today, I know it will come through thisdarkness and free me from this ugliness. If I hang on with both hands, my strength willsave me. My life is a gift and I will not let you take that from me, too. You’re definitelynot worth it.I am here and I am important. Maybe not to you. But to those I make smile, to the oneswho see the beauty inside me, the ones who seek me out because of who I am andbecause of the positive emotions I give to them, I am irreplaceable.You are not. Should you die tomorrow, no one would weep. I’ve been to your funeraland I’ve seen that truth, too. When you die, there will be another bully, just like you,spewing the same cruel lies and lines that never change, to take your place. As I said,you never change. You’re all alike.But we are not. We are individuals. We do matter, and to those closest to us, we arethe entire world. Our loss would cut them to the core of their hearts and they wouldweep forever. Our death would leave a hole inside them that never closes. We are thefragile flowers that spill our fragrance into the world, and bring beauty and smileswhenever we’re spotted by those capable of seeing us in all our glory.And so I finish my letter with this. Go ahead and laugh at me. Mock me. Insult me. Tearme down. Do your worst. Because through it all, I will do my best in spite of you andyour cruelty. From this day forward, I will never hear your ugly words again. I will live mylife for me and those few who love me, the ones who cannot imagine a world withoutme in it. From now on, I will laugh at you when you start in on me because I now knowthe simple truth.Animals attack what they fear. And you, in spite of all your bluster and bragging, fearlittle old me. If I truly were insignificant and worthless, you wouldn’t bother tormentingme. So I will continue living my life for me with the happy knowledge that I threaten you.Meanwhile me and the rest of my real friends won’t bother talking about you. You don’tmatter enough to us to take up time better spent on preparing for a future where youdon’t exist. Time changes everything and everyone. Today you’re the bully. Tomorrowsomeone will bully you. And when that happens, unlike you, we will reach out to you insympathy and love, and try to make you feel better. Because that is who and what weare:Intelligent and beautiful human beings.Forever yours,The Anti-Bully Brigade

This is an amazing video and message by young people for young people. I am a Youth Development Officer in Lake Macquarie, NSW. The Regional Youth Development Officers Network are holding our 25th annual youth conference next June and the topic will be bullying and cyber awareness. I would love to invite the singers and producers to the conference to talk about the project and perform the song. Please email me at ydo@calm.org.au and check out our Facebook page
My brother and I both get bullied.
Aww😞Stay strong. It'll be ok. The best people face the worst challenges. And if you ever feel like no one cares, I care, along with so many others in the world. We may not know you, and you may not know us, but always stay strong, because someone, somewhere, no matter how near or far, really cares about you. :-) I wish you and your brother the best of luck.
Ava Streeter we don't care about your person life boi you need to get yo life together
HARSH!!!
we don't care about your opinion
see! it's not nice!
I have to use this for a school assignment. I think the part where they start dancing is the reason they are getting bullied! XD I mean it looks pretty cringe

Stay off my status
