My teacher was verbally abusing us in secondary school. We all wrote letters to the principal. We usually aren't told what happens to teachers if they are fired, but our form tutor assured us that that teacher was fired by our principal
my fourth grade teacher flat out told my parents, "I pray everyday I can be nice to (me)" my parents went to the principal but nothing happened and she hardly backed off. I was in a similar situation to James, but nobody stood up for me.
The heartlessness and sheer stupidity of so many "adults" disgusts me.
Agreed karma will come for them soon...
especially "teachers".
Such people don't even deserve to call themselves "adults" when their actions ranging from cold-hearted apathy to astoundingly imbecilic actions make them look more like impulsive manchildren.

I hate how schools treat violence like the worst thing.
No death matches obviously.
But a punch or push is a very good answer to so many situations
Or when schools treat violence like nothing. Like kid is getting bullied and school get him detention for defending himself, and the bully doesn't because his parents paid some cash to the school..
I ignored a bully for a year: nothing happened.
I punched him in the nose (not my best punch) : he stopped immediately and became a lot nicer
I'm my day..school in 80s..we threw down fighting..it would them bs would be over!! Nobody has guns and shit..you fought..won.
Or got ya ass whooped!!

Punching someone at school still isn't a good thing
My dad once told me off for not reading all of the clearly scam emails I had. A few days later he apologized and said I did the right thing when I refused to listen to him.
Who tf reads all their emails
I have 500 unread and most of them are from accidental subscriptions
He got a virus didn't he?
Just a hot tip to any kids out there in school, for when you go back:
If you have abusive or controlling parents who disown the homeless, NEVER tell them you helped out to feed any people! You will be punished. Don’t ask for extra money. Ask a few friends at school if they wouldn’t mind giving you a yogurt or fruit cup for lunch. Maybe sneak in some protein bars if you have any available. It’s better in the long run to not tell your parents of something you know they would get angry over. It’s best they don’t know until way later in life when they have no control over your finances.
Sometimes it’s the right thing to lie. Punishment is not worth telling the truth. (If you did the right thing)
PartySuvius so true
@@NicknameThe1st exactly it's basically like that one kid who remind the teacher about the homework and telling them the truth,many kid has suffered because of that
I'd personally think it's better to document the abuse, build a stockpile of evidence, and plant their asses firmly in prison, but I guess that's just me.
My mom abused & beat me a lot for the first 17 years of my life. When I was 18, I confronted her, she tossed me over the stairs, but I was glad I called her on her abuse & bullshit. I left & never looked back.
Some people are born into the wrong family.
CreativityRules4Ever
What a crappy childhood. People have it so bad. I realize how lucky I am. I hope you are okay now.
Someone gave me the "violence is never the answer" line while I was working my job. As Security.
"The fuck am I doing here, then? I could be at home. Drunk."
why would a teacher punish an entire class because one kid is bleeding?
well I imagine it was obvious someone else had done it and it also makes sense that no one probably admitted it. I think group punishment is stupid but the kid was seriously injured so like what was the other option
Its to breed hate amongst the classmates. They probably knew who did it but because they didn't fess up everyone got in trouble and now everyone hates the kid who did it.
Collective punishment.
It's a war crime according to the Geneva Convention.
The goal is to root out the transgressor or have them punished by their peers.
Some people should not be aloud to teach. Or even talk to to children
cause school is a failure
Many adults hate being rebuked by children. Their ego often gets in the way.
I know right
"I am 50, you are 15"
Just thinking of it makes me mad
In high school my girlfriend at the time had severe depression and one night she told me she hadn't eaten anything all day, so I drove to her house across town and dragged her to a local McDonald's so I could make sure that she was at least eating something. I ended up getting in a lot of trouble because by the time I got back home I ended up being late for my curfew for the 3rd time in a row (10pm) and I got grounded for about two weeks. I know what I did was right and I will always stand by my decision, but my parents still assume all my late nights were me and her fooling around and not me constantly having to talk her down from self harm and suicide.
Did you tell them you were helping her not attempt suicide?
@@ohritz3939 by that point I was too worn down by their constant nagging at me, trying to keep up with school work, and the stress of a suicide risk of a girlfriend to have the fight left in me to argue with them. Like I said previously I stand by what I did but I just don't care enough to justify myself to them, the girl and I broke up about a year ago and I'm tired of trying to make structured arguments to them that always get countered with the age old "we pay the bills so you're wrong" mentality that render my efforts pointless.
If I had any analogy for it, I'd say that whenever I'm arguing with them it feels like I'm just throwing a eggs at a brick wall. The wall still stands as strong as ever, the only real effect it has is that they're pissed off because now there's eggs splattered all over the wall, and in the end it's just a waste of my eggs.
Benjamin Danielsen oh ok I was wondering if you never told them or if they just didn’t believe you. Thanks for sharing your story and I hope it doesn’t effect you too harshly.
You are a good person!
Good on you man, I hope she’s doing well rn
Its infuriating how much people try to protect/defend things that clearly should not be defended e.g a family/friend clearly going to hurt themselves or someone else. or the reputation of a family being known for the the obvious wrong thing they did
Yeah, they're just mad that they're exposed to everyone.
As someone who has given money or food to the homeless before i can tell you the way you see them light up when offered food or even a nice amount of change can really be heart warming, being able to make their day a little bit better or more comfortable is quite the feeling.
Amelia Kyle Yes, I’ll always remember how this one homeless guy smiled and thanked me for giving him some money. Also, I’m lucky enough to have parents who were actually proud of me for doing it.
Thats also how you can tell if someone is actually homeless or just running a scam. I always offer food, not money. Most people are happy, but one guy kept insisting I give him cash and I told him that I dont carry cash, but I would buy him food/drink/snacks in the gas station and he told me to just get him cash from the ATM. I put my foot down. I get that it can get old if thats all you've been eating, but as the sayingg goes, "beggars cant be choosers." I want to help people who need it, but Im not gonna just hand out cash
Never hand out cash, many homeless people are addicts, and money to buy more drugs will NOT help them. Give them food, clothes, gift cards if you’d like-not cash.
I head downtown every few weeks to see this one guy who is homeless. I like hanging out with him because he tells cool stories. I also buy him a pastry from the bakery he hangs out by.
At our local supermarket there was this man that always played accordion for some change and when I was younger 6/7, I always went with my parents to that supermarket and gave him some change. I remember a few times that he let me on his lap to "play" the accordion with him, I loved it! He was so sweet, he was really nice.
That last story had me near tears. It's insane how many parents punish acts of kindness
Well it COULD be that the family wasn't well off and could only afford the necessities. Feeding another person can be expensive.
Though what the father did, slapping his child, was wrong in any way. Could have explained then hurting him.
I got in trouble for getting involved in a fight. What actually happened: Some kids were bullying someone and kicking her, so I got in between them and hid her behind me, taking the kicks instead. I got in trouble and was bruised for weeks, but my parents were proud of me and the girl became a great friend.
If you are a boy or lesbian I hope she became more of a friend also if this makes you uncomfortable I'll delete it
Person on Reddit:“Violence is sometimes the answer”
Teachers: violence is never the answer if you are being bullied come tell us *tells the teacher about a bully beating people up and stealing people’s stuff. Teacher doesn’t do shit*
HEY MR NEAL IF UR WATCHING THIS 🖕🏽(mr neal is my school counselor who is the most unhelpful person when it comes to bullying)
22:00 if she’s the parent why is the brother raising the child? Might want to rethink that statement, lady.
There was this one kid two grades below me when I was in 6th grade. He had recently transferred to our school and had for some reason decided that I was gonna be his primary bully victim. I took it for a long time, always having been told that violence is never the answer, but the teachers never did anything about it and no matter what I did the kid would never leave me alone. So one day I just kind of snapped. He came up to me during recess like he usually would, hurling insults at me and calling me names. I pounced at him, pushing him hard into the ground, sitting on top of him. I didn't punch or kick him, just pressed him really hard into the ground, getting close to his face and said "If you don't leave me alone I'll kill you." The look on his face will always be stuck in my head. He looked so terrified. He left me alone after that. I got in trouble with the teachers (funny how they didn't care when I was getting bullied) but my dad told me afterwards that he used to get bullied as well and that he ended up resolving it with violence as well and that while violence shouldn't be the answer, sometimes you don't really have any other way out.
My mother screamed at me for calling 911 because my half sister had a seizure. She refused to take my sister to the hospital to make sure she didn’t have any brain damage or a reason for having a seizure despite her father having seizure problems. She still refuses to do so. You better believe I’m going to save up until I’m old enough to take her for an appointment.
When I was like 8 or so my little cousin, about 3 years old, was running around the yard with a screwdriver. I took it from him because it wasn't safe and he screamed bloody murder because I ruined his fun. My uncle immediately ran outside to yell at me for it but my mom luckily stepped in because she saw it happen and I was saved. Woohoo
The food fight I started and finished. The kids deserved it. I got suspended but it was worth it. Mom even agreed with me
Why would it mom agree with you for starting a food fight? Such bullshit
Cameron Briggs tbh if it was for good reasoning, my mother would agree, too. my mom is a teacher, so she does have a great perspective of life in a school. if i were to do that (with good reasoning behind it) she would definitely agree with me. she understands the situations that can happen.
You are not raised right if you are commended for starting and finishing a food FIGHT. If you think that is a accomplishment you better think twice.
@@dannydevito22 She doesnt belong working at a school if she agrees with you having a food fight buddy
@@BossManAngry They are not raised right. If they dont get discipline from their guardians or parents you should feel bad for them
I once tried to to get help from a teacher after a kid at school was bullying a friend of mine. The teacher kept saying she was busy, and I said this was a safety issue. I had been taught by my parents that bullying was considered a safety issue, and I just wanted to help my friend. I told the teacher was happened, and she said that my friend should have come to her herself, and that the situation wasn't a safety issue as no one was injured.
What the frick? You'd rather let a socially awkward, learning disabled girl get bullied than try and get something done about it? All because I stood up for her and she was too scared to do anything to stop it?
I *rarely* ever got into trouble in school, and graduated high school with an Honors Diploma.
To my surprise one day in 10th grade, I got called into the Vice Principal's office. He asked the usual bs question of "do you know why I called you in here?"
Me (honestly): "No."
VP: "You skipped Home Room today." (we all sat in the cafeteria until school began, and just hung out and could even buy breakfast)
Me (honestly): "No, I didn't."
VP: "Well, ______ said you did, so we're going to have to call your father."
Long story shorter, my dad was in an important meeting, screamed at me for a minute after the VP told him what "I had done," then when he asked what I had to say about it, I told him that the school was mistaken, and that they could ask any of my friends or classmates to vouch that I was actually there. He asked me one last time if that was true, which it was, and I stood by what I had said. My dad told me to put the Vice Principal back on the phone.
This was probably the first time I had gotten into any actual trouble in high school, so I was terrified.
Until I could hear my father yelling at the Vice Principal over the phone, who started to look physically scared and panicked.
From what I could pretty clearly hear over the phone (keep in mind, this was not on speakerphone, this was an old corded phone dude had up to his ear), my dad said something along the lines of, "My tax dollars go to pay you morons, who's sole job it is is to pretty much babysit my kid, and you dumb motherfuckers can't even keep track of him when he's in class? I have a job, and if I ever get interrupted at work again because you're not competent enough to do your job, you will regret it."
After profusely apologizing to my dad on the phone and swearing that it will never happen again, VP hangs up the phone, shaking a bit.
He then apologized to me several times and sent me on my way 😆😅😂🤣
From what I interpretated you have a great father!
My friend told me at school that her mom had beat her with a dog chew bone the night before. I told her after school to meet me in her back yard and I would help her get to a shelter. I went with her to the shelter and they took over. Of course she wound up being released back to her mom, and I got in trouble for "interfering". Well, geez, sorry I didn't want someone's mom beating them. My bad.
You did the right thing, even if it didn't go to plan. You're a good person
but why a chew bone?
@@roboknightt04 abusers dont think too hard on what they use or why. My biological grandfather was decent to my mom when she was a little kid. Eventually something snapped due to his trama durring his time served. He abused her and beat her with whatever was closest when he lost his shit. Wrenches cups pans ect even throwing kids into stuff. All the abuser sees when theyre pissed is red. Some even try to justify it by calling their own kin off, strange, or a bad egg. Its sickening and with no logic.
I tried to talk to an abuse hotline service when I found out my best friend and their sister were getting beat up by their dad. The hotline told me to try to talk to their mom (who is completely aware of the situation and just blames the kids) because unless there were any physical marks (bruises, cuts, etc.) they couldn't do anything. I've never tried reporting my own parents because apparently mental/emotional abuse don't count. At this point we're just waiting until a year from now when we turn 18 and can legally move. The system was never made to protect kids. I wish it were different and pledge to do my part to make it so, but for the meantime I just hope you can do what you can to protect your friend. I'm sure you will, as only an awesome friend would do what you did :)
@@nayathorne6273 farting on da pee
The one where the kid was choking made me so angry. The alternative was to let the dad sleep and potentially lose the child. Kudos to that person for saving their brother's life, even though they knew their dad would not be happy. True instinct there.
To the abusive parents who say you dont speak about it outside the family, you're totally good with retribution beatings for the rest of your life right?
I was just like that little girl with the Christmas dress and cat glasses, I was constantly bullied for years until I broke. No one stood up for me and now I’m always self conscious about how I dress. Please please please never be like those bullies, that shit will traumatize those kids for life
Ignoring the dad's reaction, the last one was really sweet. props to that kid for being selfless
I never had that situation because nothing like that has ever gone so far for me, but I remember hearing a story from a radio dj during their shows talk portion. The djs were discussing bullies, and the main host was saying how his son had problems at school with a bully who would sometimes get physical, pushing, grabbing, slightly hurting him and other students.
Never far enough to get him in trouble it seemed.
DJ tells his son, if he layed the bully out next time he started to push it, he would come into the school when called, and as far as the teachers would see he'd be upset at his son, but after they left he would take him to the store and buy him something big.
he described it as "I put a bounty on the bully."
a couple weeks later, bully starts to get rough, kid decks him and knocks him the fuck out.
kid got suspended for 2 weeks.
DJ came to pick him up, made the show of, "how could you?" and the kid spent the next two weeks playing his 3 new games on his brand new SNES.
the bully was humbled, never tried any shit like that again. with anyone.
In Primary school I had a toxic friend who told lies and just kept ruining my life.
One day I got tired and yelled at her, crying and screaming how horrible she is.
At some point I called her a ‘big fat liar’ so she faked crying and got the whole class and teacher on me because i called her fat.
I was the one who got a whole lecture about how I should ‘think before I speak’.
literally I called someone stupid and scolted me to the principals office and call my parents and plus...yeah...they hit me with the chancla...oh! the 2000s when stupid was a really bad word.
That takes me back to the good ol days when you would get in hella trouble for saying “heck”
last year I called the cops on my own dad because Id had enough of lifetime abuse to me and my mum. I knew If I didn't that day he would've killed us and yet I know he still thinks he has to forgive me for it. That day continues to simultaneously traumatise me and give me hope.
I used to listen to videos like this for fun, then I started dating a girl who was abused from the age of 3 and has trauma not unlike a lot in this video.
I can't listen to videos like this anymore, I just cry too much, I imagine these people as my loved ones and I can't handle it, it's not right that it took me this long to develop empathy, but god damn the world sucks.
That last story. If that was my kid I would have been so proud.
I yelled at (and scared lol) a senior wrestler when I was a freshman in highschool because he was making fun of the band which my older brother was apart of. And my teacher didn't get mad at me. Instead he just sent me to the kitchen in the class to get cookies that the class before baked to calm me down
I had a friend in 9th grade that once texted me her suicide note, basically telling me goodbye and that she’s sorry. I freaked out and looked up her address in the school directory or something (with the help of my level-headed dad) and called 911 to her apartment.
Turns out she was going through a bipolar depressive episode and she was fine, but her grandma was PISSED. I don’t regret it and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
And that’s why I have the addresses of all my friends in my phone :)
I find it really disturbing how many kids got in trouble for calling 911.
Because the ones against calling know they or someone they love is clearly in the wrong and will get taken away for it, generally speaking. People lack accountability, and never want to face the truth.
We must Reach Out For The Truth. XD
I slapped a kid in 3rd grade for bullying my friend. Totally worth it. I got next to no punishment because I was good kid lol
My fear of being punished for fighting back was so intense that in 5th grade, I didn't even say anything to my bully because I thought I'd get in trouble. I just let her do whatever she wanted. She stole my stuff, manipulated me, hit/kicked me, etc.
A while later, the bully sexually assaulted me but I never stood up for myself because I was too scared of being suspended. I only ever told my Mom a few months ago because it was bothering me a lot. Everything's fine now but it still pisses me off to this day.
Noticing a trend: most of these are 1) adults are scum to kids. 2) adults support bulling children.
6:40 I've experienced a surprisingly similar situation, however my brother was 15 and autistic, i was 11 and he is not a drug addict. He held a knife to my mum who was backed in a corner while on the phone to my dad (he was at work 2 hrs away). I told my younger sister to hide in her bedroom, and after trying to persuade my brother, i locked myself in the bathroom and phoned 999. My brother was taken to the police station but was a minor so was only held in prison for the night. I still hate him for this, but love him too because he's my brother. He was smiling when he was driven off in the police car, that haunts me. He was only told to clean his bedroom. That's what started it all.
my sophomore year of high school I broke up with my girlfriend because I had lost feelings for her and I didn't want to lead her on and hurt her worse than I would have if I had stayed and all of our mutual friends got mad at me for it, I had my best friend since elementary come up to me the morning after and go off on me for making her cry so I went to apologize for hurting her and I found out that she had already started dating another of my friends, I wasn't mad or anything, in fact I was happy that she already moved on but a little hurt that said she loved me so much she would unalive herself if I broke up with her.
1:35 I think the mum was just seriously scared for her and her children's lives
Doesnt make it okay to try to stop the kid from stopping his father's abuse, even if scared
My dad used to tell me that if I ever got into a fight in school make sure I wasn't the one that lost or he'll beat me
When you realize all these stories are about bad parents or bad teachers. The saying “children should be seen, and not heard” disgusts me. Children are heroes too.
I have kind of the opposite situation. My brother and I grew up watching my dad beat my mum really bad, to the point where we were taken away from our home because of him on 3 separate occasions. My dad’s family, while I love them, have always had very toxic values. “He’s your dad, you have to forgive him” type vibe. They would basically guilt us into forgiving him for everything he did (they still try to) and when we were young they would even take us to his court appearances and use us in order to make him look good. As children, we went along with it. I’m 22 now and have 4 other young siblings (6 and under) who have a different mother and my dad continues to do the things he did to my mum to her. I’ve recently stopped talking to him completely. It’s something I wish I had been able to do as a child but was never free to do.
One of my friends had had a bad night (with a history of self harm and depression). I don’t know what she said, but a second friend reported her and she had to go to the hospital with the police.
She’s still slightly pissed about it to that friend, after two years, and while I understand her feelings of betrayal, I would have done the same thing. I’d rather have her alive and mad at me than know she’s dead because I did nothing.
I was in preschool with these awful 3 kids who chased me around the playground. One day they made my friend cry, so I got the courage to stand up to them. I got behind one of the girls about to go down the slide, and grabbed her pigtails and proceeded to drag her back up the slide by them.
I was a "problem child" from then on out but I got them to never bully my friend or I again.
It was ironic that by the time I reached middle school they were talking about how being a bystander is as bad as being a bully, yet my attempts to explain the teasing early where brushed off.
This is from the other side of the story. Me and my ex fiancé used to play DND And one of the people we played with have a bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. After a while she became verbally abusive and constantly told me I need to lose weight and that my doctors were wrong about my medical issues. So we stop talking to him. He had a (schizophrenic conversation with at my fiancé) so it didn’t really happen Since we weren’t talking to him and have blocked him on the phone. But apparently he kept trying to call my ex And since he wasn’t answering he called the police saying that he had committed suicide. The original conversation never happened, The phone calls weren’t going through because he was blocked And the police were called and my fiancé was tracked down at his work while he was working and had not had contact with this guy for two weeks. It was another reason for us to never speak to him again and keep his number blocked
my mom asked me to get a new box of tissues from her closet. I went and there was a purple rabbit vibrator right next to the tissues. I closed the door and left. she was mad at me later when she realized i didnt do it and yelled at me and went to hit me but i dodged it. she was always hitting me for no reason. anyway i avoided an awkward conversation bc eventually she would have went into her closet and noticed where i got the tissue from.
A couple years back one my best friend said something (I can't remember what) and I knew that there was a high chance that they were going to commit suicide. I wasn't sure but contacted their parents and they hated me for a solid couple of months but now our friendship is stronger than ever. Even if you know the parents are a part of the problem don't forget the power of guilt. I forced their hand and made them confront the fact that their child actually needed help and since then they have been on meds and doing better
1:34 yeah the same thing happened to me. my stepdad (who i liked a lot) dragged my mom into the living room while me and my brother were about to go to sleep. i woke up and heard both my mom and stepdad yelling at eachother. my mom was screaming "get off of me!" my stepdad was yelling something that shouldnt be said, that i wont say. i looked and seen that my stepdad was punching my mom, so i did the same thing to him. i balled up my fists and started punching as hard as i could. after 3 minutes of that, he finally got off, looked at his arms, which were hurting from my punches, looked at me, then ran into my moms bedroom to pack his stuff. my mom got mad at me for it, not like i saved her from being in the hospital or anything.
Yare yare dawa
Your reaction was amazing though, it's a shame your mother didn't acknowledged that.
How does Sixth Grade make it make sense?
So many parents that need a good smack.
@Mia Smith Because 6th grade is old enough to know it's dangerous to "play around" jabbing pens at each other and a major reason the accident happened was stupidity.
5th grade me beating my sister bully... And his older brother. Yeah, swear I still feel bad thinking about kicking those kids but they deserve it, my mom was so proud and said "congratulations baby, you did the right thing" IN THE MIDDLE OF THE REUNION WITH THE PRINCIPAL, THE PSYCHOLOGIST AND THE OTHER PARENTS
Melanie Barrientos how old was the bully, and what did they do to your sister?
I went to see my pastor for spiritual council after going through a nasty breakup with my last two friends who had monopolized my life ( 1 because we had gone through so much together and the other had severe borderline personality disorder and I was the one he had latched onto until I wasn't), when I got to the part where one of them had threatened to kill the other ( and a voicemail recording of it) a police officer was called over to get a statement from me because of the nature of what I was saying, they did a welfare check on them and then they retaliated by asking me if I was stalking them at 1 in the morning, and when I did not respond in 20 minutes they took that as an admission of guilt ( I was asleep, fucking asleep). That led to the issue of a fraudulent restraining order, us hiring a lawyer and spending fifteen hundred bucks, and them pulling it a week before the hearing like it was no big deal.
imagine getting the shit beat out of you by the man who is meant to guard your life at all costs. and calling the police on him and getting dismissed as a "problem child." that would hurt.
can not finish this video. Some American schools, teachers, people there, and students are f up.
I cant because is 45 minutes long
Agreed! My Elementary school principal was an asshole and I was looking forward to going back there and giving him a good beatdown, both verbally and physically!
This video is really only a small snapshot of what American anti-student abuse looks like. We have resources like CPS, but they don't help everyone that needs it. Combine that with the still-pervasive 'Good Christian/Catholic' ideals, and we've got millions of people having kids when they really shouldn't. It's fucked up over here. And, frankly, I don't see an end in sight.
I have always taught my kids, they know not to start a fight, but they know how to finish it. I'll be damned if my kids are just going to stand there and allow somebody else to hit them and them not defend themselves. the few times that either one of my kids were suspended for fighting they did not get in trouble at home, they got rewarded.v
I used to not go to school so I could actually learn something.
The last time my brother beat me my family watched on getting ready for Sunday mass and even got pissed at me because I wouldn't clean his room. I tackled him onto the couch and wouldn't stop punching. We're best friends now.
7:32 All's Well That Ends Well
That person that ran away from his abusive dad and called CPS is brave for doing what he did, and I feel so disgusted that his family was mad somehow. He must've had a super fucked up family for them to never talk to him again, man these videos have messed me up.
During my senior year in HS I still rode the bus because I hadn't gotten my license yet. There were 2 incidents that year I was involved in that I could had gotten in so much trouble for but didn't. The first was: A girl who lived 2 doors down from me (much younger) was sitting in front of me on the bus. She started bad mouthing my Mom for a situation from the day before she had misunderstood. Anyway, I was trying to ignore her but she just kept getting more and more irate, calling my Mom all kinds of nasty names. BTW, my Mom was a saint and all the kids loved her because she was always the fun and chill Mom. Her ranting got so bad, I had politely told her several times to be quiet, but I finally stood up and said "SHUT UP!" and back-handed her across her face. As I got off the bus, the driver told me: "Look, technically I am supposed to kick you off the bus for what you did. But I know your reputation as a good kid, so I'm going to write self defense on the report and you will have to sit in the front of the bus for 2 weeks." I told her: "That's fine. I would rather talk to you than those yahoos in the back anyway, much better conversation." She laughed and said she wouldn't send a report home because she knew I would probably be telling my Mom about it anyway. Which I did and didn't get in trouble at home for it. The second incident was: This white kid on the bus stood up and was just verbally laying into this Mexican kid (who was younger than him). I mean just blatant racism, for no reason, the Mexican kid was just sitting there minding his own business. Well, I have 2 siblings who are half Mexican, so this got personal. I didn't react right away as I wanted to see if the driver would do anything. I think her hands were tied somehow. The white kid asked viciously what the Mexican kid's last name was, and when he said Gonzales, I lost it! I stood up, got right in that white kid's face and lay into him hard! I told him to "SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN BEFORE I PUNCH YOU OUT! THIS KID ISN'T DOING ANYTHING TO YOU...LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!" Then proceeded to sit next to the Mexican kid to offer him comfort while the white kid sat down and shut up amid the rest of the bus clapping and cheering for me, including the driver who I think gave me a thumbs up or something. I never got in trouble for that one, no reports or anything. However, the worst part of that story is that when I sat down I started getting a bad stomachache. At first I chalked it up to the adrenaline rush, but then my legs started feeling really heavy and I could barely walk as I got up to exit the bus at my stop. The driver asked if I was ok, I said "It's probably just from all the excitement, I think I'll be ok." and started walking to my house just like 1/2 a block away. I barely made it home, saw our Pastor's car out front, and when I opened the door my Dad greeted me with the bad news that my brother (the same brother who was half Mexican) died from an overdose. One of the worst days of my life. But still proud that I stood up for that kid.
I can't understand how anyone would punish a child for helping a homeless person by buying them food, I'd be so proud of my kid for sharing such kindness and hopefully proud that I had set that example for them. I never fought back when I was a kid, but I sure as hell did it when I became an adult.
I dread the thought of being so broken down and brain-washed in my later years that I chastise and shame those younger than me for trying to develop a decent moral code. People seem to mistakenly think that age brings wisdom. Age brings experience; whether you learn from it and become better, or remain an idiot who's just seen a lot is up to you.
I called CPS to get not only myself but two kids to safety, I failed saving the two kids but now I'm safe. If I could I would exchange my safety for those two kids.
You have a good heart, I hope you aren't to damaged(mentally, physically or emotionally) yourself?
If I become a parent and my kid defends himself at school, then I'll bring my kid home and give him icecream.
One of my good friends who transfered, started as a bully so I bullied him into stopping. A year later he thanked me for the help.
I was arguing for months with this boy it was back and fourth and i can honestly say that i said bad things but not as bad as him it was 4 th lesson before lunch he kept saying my mum had cancer i did say stuff back(stuff like your mum is a sket)and he said he will drop me at lunch after lunch he did not hit me in lunch last lesson we kept back and forth he said he will get me on my way home (i lived less than 300 meters from my school he does not need to take a route past my house) so im about 5'9.5 he is just pushing 5ft( he is in the lowest class in everything and very simple im not best in my year but quite smart) we had a fight he bust my nose my friends walked me home and then my mum fang the school then in my next year british year 8 we kept arguing and my mum asked my head of to talk to the boy because he kept saying the cancer thing I was the one who was taken out of lesson by the head of my year and was told that im in the wrong because i'm physically bigger and smarter my mum said she told the school how stupid she was i was 12 most the time and he was 13 most the time
How can you be 12 "most of the time"
*back and forth
Are you sure you're not 7 or 8? I'd think someone older than 12 would have better English skills than that.
Once a kid got in trouble for asking me if I was okay while in school. He was the nicest kid there but always but in trouble
Well 1 time I called the cops on my friends step dad because she was beating her and I got beat by him (step dad) but she was ok and the dad went to jail (multiple charges)
I yelled at a substitute teacher and refused to do as she said.
It was French class and we were brainstorming ideas for a short made-up news segment we had to film. Then iirc we were discussing the idea that we could have someone choke, and there would be a conversation about calling for an ambulance. So as we were planning out how the scene would go, i briefly imitated choking, at which point this teacher said she was going to report me for acting like a fool.
So i responded like "What are you talking about, i was literally just doing the very thing this lesson is about", she fired something back about being the teacher and the adult, i argued with her, and it kept escalating until it was a full-on screaming match that got me detention.
I was a pretty angry kid back then, so i look at my reaction and think it was kind of OTT, but in retrospect, i see this as the first significant moment where i recognised and enforced that just because someone is an authority figure, that doesn't make them right, and it's a good thing to question the things they tell you to do or believe.
9:57 reminds me of my childhood. I was a kid with severe adhd and all I got from teachers was being screamed at. I wish others would have stood up for me. I had to fend for myself.
My brother was in 3rd grade and had been getting bullied (both physically and verbally) by a boy bigger than him. Our mom found out and told him that if he ever laid a hand on him again to beat the crap out of him and stand up for himself. He did. Mom was called and found out the kid who had been bullying my brother was a very big 1st grader. He got in a lot of trouble, but I honestly don't blame him. He was always smaller than everybody else and regardless of grade no child should pick on another.
Same thing happened with me when I was in kindergarten, for some reason I was the only girl in a class of like 8 students (it was a military oriented school which had kinder/elementary school and high school, my father graduated from that school so because of that we got half scholarship) so yeah, although I was the only girl I got along with my classmates just fine but then this kid came (he was a bit older than us) and started bullying me (he mostly punch me) and so after a while I told my parents (my mom always told me to kick any boy in their nuts if they started bothering me and to just punch them back and not allow myself to be messed with) and I remember that my parents came one day and then I saw my dad go to the kid and talked to him but I never knew what he told him but after my dad left the kid was crying and he never bothered me again.
1:57 OP's mom had to "appear" to be on his side; OP doesn't realize that - A. cops don't do anything about abuse until you're dead and B. Calling the cops is like adding fuel to a fire which will become retribution as soon as the cops leave. The only way out for his mother was to up and leave with her children, no forwarding address, no hints, no nothing. Especially not posting on social media about your new location, or telling some well-meaning close relative your whereabouts. Basically, a family in that situation has to act like they're in witness protection, for their own safety. She was merely trying to protect them all against worse treatment. Even as an adult, he still doesn't truly comprehend.
Walking 6 miles a night in Australia! Just think about it you walk through Australia at night, the place with big spiders, and other creatures
(pre k) Kid would punch, kick, bite, ect me and would go to the teacher saying I did it to him. one day he punched me in the eye and kicked my leg while i was playing in a dollhouse. I had a bruise on my leg and a black eye. I got punished. Next day he tried that bs me again and I punched him . He went to the teacher. I got suspended but it was worth it. That kid is still a bully today and has some issues.
Side note, I'm not an adult but much older.
My parents where abusive and constantly beat me and actually threw me out a window as a 13 year also and it kept happening, my parents said we don't talk about the family in public. I turned 18 and realized it wasn't normal. My sister has told me she's depressed because of what they do. So I called CPS with a fake number and a fake name and "this girl at school seems weird like skittish and over all not normal I think something is going on at home" they went to the house but found nothing. My sister couldn't say anything and my mom did everything she could to keep me away while CPS was here. I can handle what they hit me with from bottles to boards with staples in it or an actual shovel but I can't stand by while my sister gets what I got. I'm working out a plan to quietly fix things but for now all I can do is give my sister a place to hang out
Love the stories about people standing up to bullies. Teachers suck when it comes to bullying and all that shit. Wish I could have smacked some bullies around more.
Popsicle kid, John wick’s true successor.
That first story was beautiful! My dad's the same way! I've gotten in plenty of trouble for standing up for my sister or others!
TLDR - I beat a couple of guys in McDonald's with a high chair
If that ain't the most McDonald's sentence ever 😂
"Lmao your sister won't hurt us, she'll just get in trouble. Put down the phone you sissy"
TIL you get in trouble for reading in school
I got in trouble constantly in elementary school for reading. Id finish the assignment early and start reading, but sometimes once most people were done the teacher would start talking but i just didnt hear her because i was so wrapped up in the book. My 3rd grade teacher screamed at me in the middle of class (not exaggerating) loads of times because of it. I had undiagnosed adhd so it was hard for me to pay attention to what she was talking about for long periods.
BlueSoul • Okay this is eerily similar to me. Undiagnosed ADHD, horrible 3rd grade teacher.
John Doe the American school system is filled with people who became teachers just to feel powerful not to help kids learn though there are still some good teachers that actually care
this happens to me in math class so many times
That moment when kids have more sense than "adults."
In 6th grade, a boy I was kinda friends with was being bullied by an older kid, who was literally trying to convince him to kill himself. I reported it, however everybody in my grade, especially my close friend who had a huge crush on him, hated me for it. Like dude, I was 13, I didn't know what else to do.
That was exactly what you should’ve done, good on you!
My mom screamed at me for about 30 mins in the middle of the night because my boyfriend who was at the house went in the medicine cabinet and took entire bottle of some pain killers and I got scared and called 911. The ambulance came and took him away. She was mad because having an ambulance in the front the house was embarrassing and what would the neighbors think? We are by no means rich .. we were lower middle class in a shitty neighborhood. Anyway, my bf at the time ended up getting his stomach pumped and was fine
~sometimes violence is an answer~
boy oh boy does this make me angry...
I literally don’t understand why someone would be mad at a 911 call. Yeah, it’s annoying and you’ll have to talk to the police, give them evidence and whatnot… but the cost of not doing it is so much higher. And when it comes to a suspected suicide attempt, the price is almost infinitely high. A young human life. That’s worth almost anything.
12:55 Peace is not an option
when i was 15, my mom had a alcohol problem and i poured out the remainder of our alcohol in our garage. need less to say i got screamed at by both of my parents and had all privileges taken away. my mom had been drunk every single day that week, i just wanted her to get better lol
32:46 to answer that it’s because young kids have a very loose term of being mean. I work with kids a lot and being mean can range from “they hit me” to “they cried when I hit them” and everything in between. This of course is no excuse for the parents/caretakers, it doesn’t take that much to look into. Kind of a given not to take what the say as face value but that doesn’t mean you’re not obligated to find the truth.
i don't understand parents who punish kids for helping out those less fortunate to them. when i was young my parents decided that on some sundays instead of going to our regular church, we'd go to the soup kitchen/church for our sermon and then help out with serving lunch. before we went the first time, my dad sat me down and explained to me that while some of the people there might seem scary and i may have heard bad things about native people (i'm canadian and in my small hometown most of the homeless are native) from others around me, they were all just people down on their luck or with illnesses and i needed to treat them with kindness and respect. i appreciate that to this day. my dad may have failed in some ways as a parent, but he was the only person in my life who taught me to be kind to the homeless and actually talked to me about racism. he always spoke to me like i was an adult in those conversations which really made things stick.
I remember when I was a small child, that my dad too forbid me from giving money to the homeless. I would often see a homeless person begging at a corner somewhere when we went to the city to go shopping.
I remember I once asked about a homeless man, why he was sitting there and my father told me he had no home or money. The man was asking for spare change, to buy food and I told my father I want to give him my 5 DM (Deutsche Mark. That was before we got the Euro in Germany, so like 1997. I was 6).
Of course my father said no, but when he wasn't looking, I just gave the man my 5 DM and my father was angry about it.
But I was happy I could help someone
When I was in kindergarten, I got in trouble for telling my teachers we didn’t have food at home, it had been literally weeks sence my sisters and I had eaten something other then at schoool. They went out and bought us a whole bunch of groceries and when my mom found out she got on to me and told the teachers I was lying, so they gave the food to someone else. When I was in second grade and told the teacher that we were living in a tent, my parents said that I was lying and we were just camping. In fourth grade when CPS came to my school to talk to me and I told them the truth, but my sisters lied saying that everything was okay. And finallly all the times I called the police because my dad was beating the crap out of my mom, sisters and I. I’d call them but my family would lie saying that it wasn’t as bad as I said, despite my mom being covered in blood and bruises.
We were always told to scratch during an attack, just for the dna thing
i did that once the kid was bleeding like a sprikler becuse i scraped up his entire arm
@@raaston9761 cap
For context my first elementary school was a k-6 school (i left this one after 1st grade because that school was the worst)
This school had difrent times in classes where everyone could get a drink, go to the bathroom, ext. One day a bunch of people were lined up at one of the water fountains and I was lucky enough to make it there relatively early. (3-4 people in front of me) then the school bully shows up, he was a 6th grader while I was still in kindergarten. By this time he had been picking on me for a few months now and I had enough. So when he shows up he scanned the line, darting his eyes towards me once I was up next and shoves me out of the line. Because I was smoll kindergarten boi I fell over and smacked the floor with my shoulder. By this time I was fed up and furious, and I was tired of ignoring the problem. So I stood up, walked up to him as he was taking a drink, jumped and slammed his head into the metal. As a result I got suspended for a few weeks and my parents told me that I will never be in trouble with them for standing up for my self and if memory serves me right he didn't ever mess with me again.
Hang on
I live in ireland and for me what you call kindergarten we have when were 5
So im assuming 6th grade is 11 or 12 year olds
So youre telling me a 12 year old was bullying a 5 year old
Wtf that kid mustve had problems
And just finished reading it now
A 5 year old slammed a 12 year old head into something
Im calling bullshit
@@nighthawk815 I wasn't exactly a small kid and you'd be surprised how easy someone's head can be slammed forward when they don't expect it (e. Literally every pie face video ever)
@@fugly_fetus fair enough
My 5 year old brother is quite strong for his age so i get where ur comings fron
My entire year of kids (we're going into highschool this year) all hate our schools punishment system because nothing ever gets done to the kids that really deserve it. For instance, a girl was complaining that a girl with autism 'ruined' our choir concert this past year and my close friend approached her (she heard it from a few desks away) and confronted her. (my friend is really short, like 4'9 type short, and this girl is probably 5'4 and could easily take her down) The girl cowers back and says nothing so my friend basically gets in her face and says 'if i ever hear you say something like that about her or anyone else for that matter, I'm punching you in the face.' We all knew the girl was going to snitch because all she ever does is run her mouth but she can't take the heat from anyone else, so anyways, my friend got off with a warning threat of social probation (no dances, no fieldtrips, no sports games, and you get kicked off of your team if it happens) while the girl who was berating the autistic girl got nothing. We all openly tell our teachers its unfair and that that is why we wind up in so many fights. Our teachers try and preach that 'fighting isn't the answer' but our response is that they never do anything even when they know what's going on. School systems are forever jacked up I swear
So true. I'm was bullied and complained to the teacher to which he said "Just ignore it and they will stop". I tried but it didn't work,I was still bullied the same way,so l complained again. The teacher said they'll do something about that but they didn't. But when l stood up for myself and beat the bully the school had the audacity to tell me "The violence is not the way". Thank God I'm getting out of this school soon.
I don't know if this counts because I wasn't a kid per se (I was 15) but I still feel good about it. My brother would go through these mean streaks when he would be extremely rude to me for literally no reason. I would try to be nice to him, but he just brush me off and continue with the disgustingly awful behavior. I remember one day when he was doing the usual, I snapped and called him out for his rudeness. My dad and sister (who keep in mind, were present and heard every mean thing my brother was saying) chastised ME and began with the usual : "You shouldn't talk to people like that" and "Don't be so rude " rants. I blew up at that point and pointed out that my brother was talking crazy to me and being rude, but they didn't say anything, but I was getting in trouble for standing up for myself. Needles to say, that shut them both up.
