all the comments saying the slapper probably regrets it because of Cristine’s success...shouldn’t she regret it because she harmed another human being who did nothing to deserve it?
I always thought it was a pathetic thing to compare to when someone wronged you years ago, and you say something like 'look at me now, that person must feel so ashamed that they wronged a successful person like me' because it shows that you are still thinking about it and in a way that is you trying to convince yourself that you are superior and haven't gotten over it. The worse part about it for me though, is how they don't think 'I feel sorry for that person, and I hope they've grown and learned', but instead, they still detach them self from another human being that just had it rough. I know I'd be asking for way too much to have everyone do this and treat all these kinds of people in their life with compassion, but if I can help at least one person do that, I'd be happy.
@@kakao-katze I was bullied quite severely as a kid, I honestly hope I never see them again. I couldn't care less what happened to them. I only hope they grew up to be better people or ended up in a situation where they couldn't hurt someone the way they hurt me. I don't see it as the healthiest and I try so hard to wish good things. I just can't.
I walked away crying while threatening the other person over the phone- (For context, a fake friend talked behind me and my female friend to other people, yet the fake friend had the audacity to invite us over. When we found out, the girl cried while I was ready to throw hands. Luckily, I was smart enough to walk away from the fake friend but, I was still pissed as hell.) EDIT: I didn't fight him but I scared the hell out of him to the point he texted a passive aggressive apology to my other friend. I don't exactly forgive him but I chose to let it go because that jackass was only in our friend group because he was after our rich friend's money 🤡.
I totally understand the walking in the dark and feeling a bit scared when I hear someone walk behind me. I once had a friend who told me a story of how he walked from the bus stop towards his home after a night out and accidentally "followed" a girl because they had the same way. He could see how she walked faster and became a bit tense so he pretended to call his mom. Tell her loudly that he's almost home and safe because he knows that she always wants to know when he comes home and that he's excited to see her the next day. The girl heared this fake conversation and 2as visibly not frightend anymore, because she now new this person was just some normal guy walking home just like her. I think that was an awesome thing to do!
I do think he acted well in the situation so that she didn't feel the need to call the cops, but unfortunately other people who are not safe to be around could deploy this same technique of pretending to be on a phone call to get their victim to let their guard down, so that they become easier targets. So even if there is somebody walking down the street talking on their phone and they don't seem threatening, I would still take precautionary measures to call somebody and talk to them on the phone as well
I understand cause people like to drag others into fights even though you had nothing to do with the fight it's just wanting not to be in a fight with others
You can tell by her voice that that memory still hurts, and I feel her, cuz I lived something similar. I was bullied physically and mentally. Half of my class always said hurtful comments about me, and all the girls used to beat me up for no reason. Cristine is such nice person, and talking about confrontation is really hard for her. I'm really sorry that something like happen to her, but happy that she's in a better place and moved on from that.
⚠️‼️Trigger warning folks! I'll be talking about trauma, fighting and vomiting here! Not really major, but i want to assure nobody gets triggered by this! ‼️⚠️ Some high schoolers are quite weird when it comes to fights because they just start going on about some little things just to start a fight. These things could vary from being as little as something embarrassing that the other person did, or could be things that the other person could not control. I find these people who try to butt themselves into others lives pathetic because it isnt anything they have say in imo lol. Why would anyone want to fight for no reason ? It's not like it gives them some sort of achievement. It just paints them in a bad image which could be that of someone who is dangerous and people should be afraid off, and it also gives them a huge ego which i find quite weird. Some people in my school think they are entitled to people's privacy and think that can boss others around. That is just gross. Whenever i hear stuff like "who do you think you are" from some of my peers, it makes me want to vomit and leave. All these people who start fights and bully people for no reason are going to give the other is (in some cases) trauma, as well as maybe trust issues or mental illnesses. (I edited this comment because i realized that it sounded quite impolite which was never my intention. I am a high schooler myself so i apologize if what i said previously hurt you in any way. )
luncixxx, not all high schoolers are dumbasses. Some are, and they ruin it for everyone else. But others are decent human beings. It just depends what high school you went too aswell. I went to a very good high school, so those things didn’t happen much.
Safire Lutherhorn yeah usually the quite ones are the most intelligent. They don’t want to get into fights or talk back to the teacher they just want the work to be done.
So, I have never seen, or been in a physical fight and I’m in year 8 (grade 9) in my secondary skl (i’m from England) but that might be the fact I go to a strict catholic all girls skl. The only thing I’ve seen relative close to a physical fight was a bunch of girls just being catty and bitchy forwards each other.
@@Rebeccanavarro132 yeah im in england too and i go to a regular secondary school and B O I once a kid threw the other through a two meter gigh fence and there were other very weird fights that ended it ppl going to hospital oof
She should regret it anyway cuz she slapped an innocent girl. No one should be proud that they hit someone for no reason, whether they're famous now or not.
I would always recommend to everyone that they take either a self-defence class or a martial art of some sort. Not just because of the fact that you can then defend yourself if necessary, but mainly because it makes you feel stronger! I started ju jitsu and I have felt so much more confident even though I have never had to use it outside of the gym (thank goodness) just learning it is so much fun and empowering! If you are on the fence about taking a class I would really recommend it 😊
Agreed. I took martial arts one summer. For me my head was much calm, clearer, less panicked. I feel like I can think more rationally. Now that Im older I forgot everything I learned. Haha.
There's a Canadian immigrant that talks a lot about the seriously deadly self defense that he practices for fun, but he also strongly explains why nobody should do such fighting for real against anyone or anything living. His channel name is @Skallagrim.
Once I was hit in the keg by this girl in school and she started strangling me even though we were friends and I couldn’t breath so I kicked her in the shin. I didn’t kick her hard at all. It didn’t even bruise. Then she had the audacity to start crying and saying omg she hurt me she hurt me even though she was strangling me and hurting me. It’s sad that this is still happening.
Lol 😂 me, having two krav maga classes under my belt & wanting more lol - personally I’d rather be safe than sorry, & i don’t expect anyone else to come to my rescue if I were to get into a dangerous situation. Her freeze response is one of the 3 instinctual fight/flight/freeze responses to a stressor, it’s normal & we don’t really have control over which F3 response is our go-to, its hardwired in. I admire people who aren’t natural fighters because i am & it can get you into trouble 😂 but I also appreciate that about myself bc i realize not everyone has that kind of response, & sometimes it is useful. Either way the only way to gain any control whatsoever, is to train for different situations. No its not fair, but life’s not fair & i do believe women might not be predated upon as much if we weren’t seen as easy targets.
Back in high school there was a huge fight between girls on the back area of the school. Supposedly people were hacking up this fight for a while so more than half the school showed up. (I was a loser and didn’t know about it and was in the computer room). But the fight was so bad that one girl went to the hospital. She had a ruptured pretty much everything hips down. The other girl “team” was laughing it up because they made her shit her pants. I was horrified. Our school never had this before. Of course the girl never came back. But like 6 years later my hubby and I were at a get together with his pool team and one of the players had her daughter over and it was her. I never said anything but drinks in they were talking about that fight and wow. The fight was for a boy. Stupid stupid stupid reason. She was also very opinionated and loud mouth. So I could see how this fight started. She also started fights at her new school. Mom was blaming the system and the school should have had a body guard on her at all times. Pretty much put her daughter on the pedestal. Do no wrong.
Ashley Roberts Young adults need to realize that life is more than just boys and girls and partying 😑 I honestly don’t know what or who to blame in this situation smh man smh 🤦♀️
Oh my God! That poor girl! I bet they screwed her up permanently! I hope she went on and was able to have children if she wanted. Some teens just suck!!
Are you going to make a podcastepisode about being an introvert? Cause I'd be really interested in that. But no matter what you do I'll always support you! It's your life girl, do whatever makes you happy❤
HELL YEAH WOMEN TAKE SELF DEFENSE COURSES AND IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF. I took martial arts and self defense for 5 years, and the SMARTEST thing is to just not get into a bad position and avoid a fight. The self defense classes I trained in taught you how to de escalate bad situations, how to be aware of scary situations, and what to look out for to know if someone wants to attack or hurt you. The biggest thing for self defense is training your instincts to block and protect yourself, and then get away. You need to know how to block a punch to the head or protect yourself because a punch to the head could really hurt you or kill you, and it’s so important to know and train your instincts to defend, parry, “stun”, and just get out. Most people don’t know how to fight, but they can still hurt you. Good for you Cristine for walking away. I’m so sorry you had to deal with that!
This happened this year: A kid in the year below me wanted to get me to come sit with them and I didn’t want to since I was reading, HE THEN RIPPED THE BOOK OUT OF MY HANDS AND WOULDN’T GIVE IT BACK. I told him seriously give it back and you know what he said “I know you won’t do anything because you aren’t mean in nature. THAT INFURIATED ME but still I didn’t do anything because my reaction was just to say that my mom would be mad. By the end I was nearly in tears before he gave it to me and I ran off and called my mom hysterical and sat out of class for a bit. He had to say sorry but all he said was sorry I didn’t - I mean I did mean to do it just not to upset you. I’m a bit sad I didn’t stand up for myself much and I sat listening to music for an hour but I am glad that the teachers took it seriously he had done stuff like that before but I hadn’t gotten really mad until this incident. We went to a Christian school so all the teachers thought he was the good Christian but really he was really mean. My sister told me I should have sworn at him but I don’t swear and am very timid compared to her.
I'm sorry I'm sure you're very young but a kid younger than you, bullied you in a christian school... Just can't make this stuff up. 😂 They are not preparing you kids for the real world. Sweetheart you can not rely on anyone else to be a good christian bc their actions are not in your control. I remember what it was like to be you and it is almost as if you are more scared of yourself and being a bad christian than you are of him. It's okay for you to stand up for yourself bc it is not okay for people to treat you that way. Consider yourself lucky he didn't intend any real harm and there were people around to help you. There may come a time when someone may actually mean harm and nobody is around to help and they will not care if you're a good Christian. I'm nit saying this to scare you, i am trying to explain that you should take this as a learning experience to stand up for yourself or that boy will not be the only person in your life to walk all over you. And sure, mom may be upset but mom is not the one living your life, you are.
Ally Jay yeah I am actually moving to my first public school next term and I am in yr 9 I am just one of those shy timid kids. I am always say I will be assertive if the time comes but deep down I know I am to worried I might hurt the other persons feelings deep down. I don’t know how to break this! I wish I could just for once be angry someone but I just cant for some reason. Can’t wait for my move so I can be bullied at a public school. Do you have any tips for public school because I am being thrown into the deep end here
@@Brooke-jg3ie I went from the Catholic School to public school. It wasn't a bad change. I was timid too, but I was also comfortable being alone. There was only two other girls in my year at catholic school, so it actually was very welcome to go to a bigger school because I finally found people I meshed well with, more diversity. Don't be scared of kids in public schools, there exists nice kids. It did take me a long time to find my friend group but in between I found a few people I liked to hang out with and my high school friends remained strong through and after college. JOIN GROUPS, if you are lonely you will find people and clubs gives you easy common conversation topics. Politely avoid people you think are mean. Try to do easy things like go to movies with people once you know them a bit (obv after quarantine). Public School isn't like the movies or TV shows. It isn't a crazy difference from what you know. I don't know the culture in your schools but the vast majority of people don't care enough to bother others. Also worst case, high school isn't good, college is really awesome
Danielle Miller thank you! I was so scared it was going to be mean girls (even though I live in Australia) and I would have to just avoid everyone. I am 100% an introvert
I guess my natural reaction would be the same but also I would be really angry in my head and just want to beat the crap out of them because tht memory of being slapped just doesn't go away
So you think you'd feel better if you "beat the crap" out of the other person instead? You'd just feel even more awful about the whole situation, in hindsight. Violence is never the answer.
@@D0MiN0ChAn no, I will feel awful and I won't do it, but I will be have these thoughts...I have been in similar situations where I have not reacted at all but I have always been angered by the unfairness of it all. I try to not let my personal feelings make treat someone badly so when people try to take "revenge" 4 petty reasons it bothers me. No matter whether u like someone or not, that is never reason to be an asshole. One shouldn't abuse their power for personal use. And this is what makes me have angry thoughts...I'm not pro violence but I'm human and see no use pretending that I don't get angry or have urges to smack someone. I get ur point however, but believe me I know there is no use in beating someone up.
Thank you for encouraging actual pacifism. I know a lot of people who never want to hurt anyone, but "if someone attacked X och Y" they would jump in to defend the people they love and fight back. Actual pacifism is to stop the fighting so that *nobody* gets hurt, attacker included.
I consider myself a pacifist by nature but you can't realistically expect to diffuse the tension without anyone getting hurt in every situation. Sometimes someone needs to put the attacker down before they can hurt them or others and it is the right thing to do bc it minimizes the risk to innocent people.
@@allyjay7395 I get your point and agree to an extent, I think though to strive for a non aggressive solution is pacifism and should be the first port of call. But I agree that can't always happen, especially if someone just wants to attack no matter what anyone says or does x
I genuinely appreciate you two for being real, non pretentious, fantastic humans. Every youtuber should look to you and take a lesson in being a good person.
I'm so proud of you Cristine, bullies suck and kids can be so cruel, I'm sorry that happened to you.❤️ I was tormented and beat up by bullies for around 6 years. MSN was a thing back then so it just felt like it would never end and there was no escape so I switched schools and logged off the internet completely and somehow they found out which school I went to and got me again so I finally fought back. It didn't feel good to hurt another human being but I'd had enough. I'm glad those days are long behind me. You're such a kind soul and didn't deserve that, we never know what others are going through.❤️
Cj.Draw.Z Art why are you commenting on all the comments do you have nothing to do. The girl obviously seems mean so she’s just saying that she wonders how she would react if she found out how successful she is and that she’s sharing this with the world
@@Brenda-vi5es That girl didn't grow one bit if the only reason she feels bad is because Cristine is famous now. I hope that she felt bad as soon as she slapped Cristine because hurting another human for no reason is always awful.
I wish I was like you, because I was actually a fighter. I never started, but I always finished it and it didn’t matter if it was against a girl or boys. Side note: in my school students would have this street fights in a square, we were even on National TV once being called vandals, but we just didn’t wait to resolve things and move on...
During my freshman year at uni, my last class ended around 10pm and it was pretty sketchy. My university set up a little call area where we can buzz in to ask someone if they can walk us the dorms.
I had almost this exact wotuation in secondary school, a girl and her friends cornered me amd tried to start a fight and when i decided to walk away instead of fight back, everyone started saying id been beaten up
I must say, as a very lanky person with no perceivable muscle, it kind of fun when people try to play “fight” me because they don’t know Im a black belt in Taekwondo. I was specifically trained in fighting people bigger than me when we did self defense week.
I have a little cousin who is very petit and has some learning challenges, so she gets bullied a lot. The best story she ever told me was when one girl who particularly hated her came up to her and pushed or slapped her or something and she just grabbed her collar and head butted her, like bloody nose headbutt.
When I was in middle school there was a fight one every other day, if not everyday. At one point the principal got hit with a padlock for trying to break one up. It slowed down a ton in high school, but it’s insane that a bunch of 12 year olds were fighting so much. Very sad.
as someone with anger issues i know how serious fights can be its never fun theres always consequences and u always always end up regretting it ive hurt family members and friends especially when i was younger it was pretty bad it wasnt temper tantrums it was straight up violence i mellowed out since and havent gotten violent in quite a few years i pretty much just ignore ppl who are pissing me off until they shut up and leave... i dont want to escalate a situation and hurt myself and another i had a pretty bad reputation at school so i didnt have many friends so socially i was pretty bad which didn't help my communications skills i still get really angry at stupid petty stuff... it is pathetic i feel like a child when i get angry but like i said i haven't gotten into fights for a long time and im proud of that even tho its a pretty basic thing to accomplish
There's a difference between a unnecessary altercation (ex: Cristine's story, typical bar fights, etc.) and necessary altercation (ex: self defense, potential SA situations, etc.). Life is scary enough. I don't want to engage in real fights, but arm wrestling or other dumb play fights (where both people agree it's a play fight) are fun
Just a note on not really getting why someone would fight for fun, I used to do some contact sports! I did karate as well as wrestling and went to tournament. For me at least, it's a fun and great work out. However at least in these situations, it's mostly to compare skill and not to hurt the other person. Well bruises are commonplace, but nothing lasting.
Your reaction restores my hope in humanity 💜 I'm a huge pacifist myself but I couldn't just let someone hit me. I've done it my whole childhood & I can no longer do it again. But the idea is nice as a hypothetical. I definitely do enjoy asserting my dominance, a primal type of feeling really, but I don't do it unless I am being undermined or disrespected. & I do it through rational, assertive conversation, not authoritative bullshit & flailing fists 😂
My college used to have tunnels, but due to "issues" over the years, it was decided to shut them down. That's unfortunate during the winter time, but it was one of the better options the school had to help their students and deter the not so nice.
Yes! A self defense course is amazing. Not just for the empowerment, but the physicality and exercise aspect is rewarding. Our local police department offers courses for free for women only, and I often encourage people to go do them. It was recommended to me to take Jiujitsu and Krav Maga so you can always have the experience and muscle memory. (I haven’t done it because I don’t like signing up for things alone, but it’s so much fun just to learn and get exercise.)
Omg what do i watch when u upload 5vids !!!!! I'm excited to watch them alll!!!!!!! I hope Cristine Ben Jen Cristine's dad Menchie Zyler Ben's brother Everyone!!!! I hope you are all ok!! Love u!❤️
I was a shy kid in middle school and didn’t have friends Lmao and this girl pulled my hair out of nowhere !!so I slapped her pretty bad and fled hide in the restrooms cause I thought I was gunna be suspended 😂
Thanks for not specifying which language they spoke before being asked, Ben. As a french-speaker who comes from Quebec, I'm glad your description of the asshole behavior wasn't tied to whether they spoke french or not. It gets tiring to have "and they were yelling *french* at us!!!" in stories, as though our language just completely disconnects us from being first and foremost canadians, so I'm just glad you didn't perpetuate that :)
I can relate to Cristine's story, though I didn't exactly walk away. In my case when my "friend" slapped me (also for a stupid reason) I slapped her back because everyone was looking at me and I felt the pressure to prove myself, so I slapped her back even tho I didn't wanna to do it. From there on she got really violent and started to punch me, like REALLY punch me. And I was so shocked by that. I couldn't move, I couldn't even process what was happening. She ended up "winning" the fight while I ended up with a black eye. But what really is amazing about this story is that the fight wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was when I left to the bathroom, crying in pain, and some of my classmates that were encouraging the fight followed me and blamed me, insulted me and screamed at me for not defending myself. This was really traumatic to me, to the point where I can't cry in public, I get extremely anxious in fights (I get panic attacks) and also I don't like confrontation so I usually ignore or walk away from an argument. And I get triggered when someone mentions the fight so yeah... Not a really good experience.
i'll never understand the people that just stand and watch or try to egg on fights. If a fight happens at school all my friends run to go watch it and i'm left standing there like "?? what are you doing", it's immature and it's pathetic. Maybe it's because of my personality but I've never found fighting entertaining, not even the fake wwe stuff, it just doesn't sit right for me
Fun fact i’m not sure about other countries but watching these fights is actually illegal, as it counts as watching child abuse and you can be fined for it. Same goes with recording it counts as producing child abuse videos.
I got into a few different physical things with people but they were all over fairly quickly and I’m somewhat ashamed to say I let them bait me into it because I was an angry little bastard back in the day
Stuff likes this happens everyday in British secondary school. It’s so fucked up that oH yOu cALlED mE sToOpId nOw wE hAVe tO bEaT eAChoThEr uP. It’s happened to me twice and it’s so dehumanising and awful.
Studying martial arts and being really good at it is something to be proud of I think. But that’s different then beating someone up just cause. Martial arts is a skill and you should be proud of your skills. Or just trying to protect yourself or someone else. It’s when you go out of your way to hurt people is when it’s obnoxious
Once a girl did something similar to me. She threw something at my head because it would make the people around her laugh. It was pretty demeaning. I knew why, she was jealous I was friends with everyone. I wasn’t “popular” I just got along well with everyone. I took a breath and walked away. I had never done anything to her personally or even badmouthed her so I was kind of upset by the whole thing. By the time the whole school found out, people were asking if I was going to fight her. I thought that was the dumbest question ever. Thanks for sharing Cristine, I suddenly feel a lot less lame for just walking away and not instigating something.
I am a very aggressive person, so yeah, I was not mature when fights were instigated back in school lol. In primary school I would fight with the boys and get super angry at them when they were sexist little bums, then in secondary school people learnt not to mess with me because once a boy punched me in the face and I punched him back on reflex and it hurt him more than me (I was already learning martial arts for 3 years at the time), and yeah, after that, there was that one group of boys who were a year older and all bigger (I'm tiny, and at 13, well, I was even tinier, lol) came up to me and my friend and were egging us on, and then they asked if it was true I was learning martial arts. I responded that, yep, of course. They asked my belt colour and when I responded (it was blue at the time, if I remember correctly), they decided to leave us alone. I think the news spread, because noone did start anything else with me personally again (though I was quick to intervene in cases of bullying, which, unfortunately, happened nearly everyday for one of my dear friends). When that side of violent/aggressive me comes out, my friends are always quite shocked, because I'm usually chill haha (but usually it happens with sexual harassment/aggressions, like do not touch my bum, you dumbass. I'm not object, thank you very much). They also call me Mama-bear, hahaha! I get quite righteously vindictive when people want to hurt people I hold dear.
I've never been to a fight, but i"ve had someone fight for me without my knowledge, the guy was mostly just protecting me cuz i was bullied for being a "lesbian" i was bi but wwhatever i dated a girl at the time. And yea that guy got into multiple fights to defend me, not that he wanted to fight, be defending a lesbian apparently was enough for people to hit you. So yea, all this happened behind my back for years, that guy barely talked to me, i'm not sure why he cared so much about protecting me. When i've met people years later and they told me about that, i cried so much cuz i felt really lonely at that time, and yet he was there, like a guardian angel
Check to see if your school will offer walk to car service. Campus security did at my school. Don't feel bad for asking. If you feel afraid please call them or have a friend/family pick you up.
THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MEEEE. In 6th grade I was punched in the face for a rumour about my sexuality and I just walked away. Everyone was trying to get me to fight back, but I didn't.
Lol a girl slapped me in the face when I was in Middle school and I had your same reaction. I just walked away. The weird fact is that I knew that she was going to slap me but I did not even try to stop her.
Is this what its like when you haven't grown up around violence and are a normal person? Omg I wish i had just been slapped :( it sucks when people actually try to hurt you with more than just a slap :(
When I was in high-school, I had a similar situation. A girl walked up to me and punched me right in my jaw with her friends behind her. Why? Because I told her she shouldn't talk about killing herself as we were friends at the time. All I could do was laugh cause it seemed so random and just continued on with lunch. It's the only time I've had a "physical altercation."
There was this guy who apparently liked me, and i didnt even know he existed. But his ex girlfriend was so mad and she kept telling people she was gonna fight me. I was so confused lol. Nothing happened, of course. But that is thankfully the closest ive gotten to a school fight. I prolly would have either ran away or broken her hand, if she decided to attack me.
I’m glad I’ve been in a fight before because it has taught me to not get into a fight unless absolutely necessary. My bf has never been in a fight and always brags that he could take someone (if needed) because he’s never been in a fight he has no idea what he’s saying.
I think it’s very mature to just turn around and walk away instead of going into the fight because you’re gonna get in trouble. Yes you might cry but look, it’s mature enough to just walk away instead of cussing and fighting. Just ignore it, fighting doesn’t make you look stronger. It’s more about ignoring it and caring about yourself
That girls must’ve regret what she did after slapping Cristine. There’s a reason she didn’t went after Cris and leave her alone as she should’ve from the start.
Beary Awesome Gamer wow I know everyone’s bored in isolation but you have asked “why would she regret it” multiple times on numerous comments. Since you wanna know why. She would regret it because that girl she slapped in high school turned out to be successful and living her best life- that’s why.
Dreamy I personally doubt a now-thirty year old woman would regret a childhood slap ONLY because the person she slapped happened to become a popular TH-camr.
Literally, in my last year of high school before corona hit, there was nearly a fight every 2 weeks. And they were all over pointless things! The biggest one we had involved a year 9 student bringing in knuckle dusters to school so he could punch this kid in year 11 (my year) after school. Nobody knew the reason whyit started, but the guy in my year was sent to the hospital while the year 9 only got a 2 week suspension. After that, there was tension between my year group and basically any year below us. We'd never had trouble with our older students when we were in year 7, so everyone just said "I swear kids are getting cockier by the year". But there were still fights within our year group, one being over a girl making a tic-tac or whatever about this other girl. Childish 🙄
When I went to Carleton I rarely walked the tunnels at night or was on campus. When I had no other choice, taking the O-Train home and then walking from South Keys to my townhouse was awful. I would get stopped at a cross walk by cars full of creeps asking if I wanted a ride home. Thankfully my BF would usually meet me at the train station to walk home with me, those few times he didn't though I almost always got stopped. It doesn't help that I am super short and look like a kid. LOL
I love you so so so so much you are the best TH-camr ever and I want to meet you so badly you are the number one TH-camr on my list you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen funny, outgoing and talented
As someone who was the type to have slapped someone in high school, I want to apologise for that girl. High school is a hard time and in my case, mental illness played a massive part. As an adult I would neverrrr.
I had a girl a few grades below me approach me once and start a confrontation because I was friends with the boy she liked? I dunno I think she assumed there was a thing, there never was. Anyway, she tried to confront me at the bus, but you could tell she was scared. I just laughed and turned around, but she grabbed my backpack and yanked me backwards. I just turned around, pushed her shoulder until she fell on her butt, then got on the bus and left. Everyone laughed at her. I felt bad, she was honestly... not well. But a lot of the time, your LACK of action in a "fight" speaks more.
One time I accidentally stepped on the back of this girls shoe in the hall and she got really pissed. I walked around her but she was yelling that she wanted to beat the shit out of me lol. It was honestly just weird
This kinda reminds me of 2 highschoolers at my school where a red head and another girl got in a fight because a girl fiddled with the girls boyfriend. The red head got her head slammed on the lunch table. They both only got a day of detention.
here in the states fights are a thing. especially here in atlanta, georgia. i’ve seen a lot people not really looking for a fight but if they are disrespected in anyway they will put there hands on you. so it’s weird. i grew up in california so i never really been n a fight. but like everyone here in georgia has. it’s more of a cultural or environmental thing i guess.
I would havesaid to her: get a hold of yourself But like in a calm way and then i would have told my parents because that is how you actually defend yourself DON'T HIT BACK!
Yeah I got into a fight kinda but not. It was around 7th-8th grade so around the time u expect stupid stuff to happen but I was heavily excluded and bullied cus a rumor went around that I was with multiple men and sleeping with them. I was like this quiet singular person who just wanted friends but people believed the popular girl who spread the rumour. This one girl was like calling me mean words and stuff and throwing like pe gear at me but I just walked away and didn't react. This year still picks on people especially my friends occasionally but she's not in a good position now like parties and nearly gets pregnant almost every week so nice to know she had karma.
I remember once, when I was in middle school a "friend" and a few other real friends and I were walking out of school at the end of the day towards the bus pick up. For some weird weird weird reason the "friend" (I'll just call her Shen) but Shen did not like me at all for no reason. I never really found out why but she just didn't like me at all. And at that time after school we were just hanging out waiting for our bus to show up. But she randomly comes up to me and literally tells me to slap her. I had no idea what the heck she was talking about and figured she was just playing. I told her no and then afterwards she was making a big deal out of it. Saying that I was the one who was always bragging about being in fights or that I could defend myself,blah blah blah. But she made a big deal out of it and then she started pushing me, like it first started as what it seemed like playful nudging just to annoy me. But then she got really aggressive and started to shove me and knocked me against a wall and then actually slapped me out of nowhere. I flipped a switched and asked Shen what the hell her deal was, she never said anything about that but was just laughing. Now that freaked me out and I remember she was trying to "run" after me and she ended up catching the back of my backpack and threw me into a fence and I fell on the ground. She then tried to like kick me or do that stupid annoyong nudging thing to me. Told her to cut it out. And then she started trash talking and hit a hard nerve/thought. I shoved her and yes i did slap her, told her to chill the frig out and stop acting like a child. Turns out she ended up failing her last year of middle school, more drama that it was my fault some how, then found out she had somehow got the idea that I was saying stuff about her. Eventually I just broke the friendship after leaving for freshmen year while she had to repeat, and i suppose she went to get help and ended up being diagnosed with mental sicknesses. But i did find out my (2)friends were trying to notify the staff. But one was in on the whole deal but didnt think it would go that far.

all the comments saying the slapper probably regrets it because of Cristine’s success...shouldn’t she regret it because she harmed another human being who did nothing to deserve it?
THANK YOU
YES 👏👏
I always thought it was a pathetic thing to compare to when someone wronged you years ago, and you say something like 'look at me now, that person must feel so ashamed that they wronged a successful person like me' because it shows that you are still thinking about it and in a way that is you trying to convince yourself that you are superior and haven't gotten over it.
The worse part about it for me though, is how they don't think 'I feel sorry for that person, and I hope they've grown and learned', but instead, they still detach them self from another human being that just had it rough.
I know I'd be asking for way too much to have everyone do this and treat all these kinds of people in their life with compassion, but if I can help at least one person do that, I'd be happy.
@@kakao-katze I was bullied quite severely as a kid, I honestly hope I never see them again. I couldn't care less what happened to them. I only hope they grew up to be better people or ended up in a situation where they couldn't hurt someone the way they hurt me. I don't see it as the healthiest and I try so hard to wish good things. I just can't.
Thank you for being the voice of reason
99.99% of fights start because of dumb reasons, dumb people encourage it , smart people walk away. Good job for walking away
i agree that it was smart to walk away but like, where did you get that information lol
@@glaciersnw legally the internet cannot lie, so it’s true
I walked away crying while threatening the other person over the phone- (For context, a fake friend talked behind me and my female friend to other people, yet the fake friend had the audacity to invite us over. When we found out, the girl cried while I was ready to throw hands. Luckily, I was smart enough to walk away from the fake friend but, I was still pissed as hell.)
EDIT: I didn't fight him but I scared the hell out of him to the point he texted a passive aggressive apology to my other friend. I don't exactly forgive him but I chose to let it go because that jackass was only in our friend group because he was after our rich friend's money 🤡.
This is the first and only fight in Canadian history
Have you ever seen a single hockey game?
And then cristine apologized and canada regained it's strength.
Canadians burned down the White House in 1812.
warjikin good
;-;
I totally understand the walking in the dark and feeling a bit scared when I hear someone walk behind me.
I once had a friend who told me a story of how he walked from the bus stop towards his home after a night out and accidentally "followed" a girl because they had the same way. He could see how she walked faster and became a bit tense so he pretended to call his mom. Tell her loudly that he's almost home and safe because he knows that she always wants to know when he comes home and that he's excited to see her the next day. The girl heared this fake conversation and 2as visibly not frightend anymore, because she now new this person was just some normal guy walking home just like her. I think that was an awesome thing to do!
I do think he acted well in the situation so that she didn't feel the need to call the cops, but unfortunately other people who are not safe to be around could deploy this same technique of pretending to be on a phone call to get their victim to let their guard down, so that they become easier targets. So even if there is somebody walking down the street talking on their phone and they don't seem threatening, I would still take precautionary measures to call somebody and talk to them on the phone as well
I'm sorry, this is a serious topic but
I was thinking the whole time "WHEN THERE'S TOO MUCH DRAMA ON SCHOOL
ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS
WALK AWAYYyyyYyyeeee"
I mean it’s not wrong XD
I understand cause people like to drag others into fights even though you had nothing to do with the fight it's just wanting not to be in a fight with others
You can tell by her voice that that memory still hurts, and I feel her, cuz I lived something similar. I was bullied physically and mentally. Half of my class always said hurtful comments about me, and all the girls used to beat me up for no reason. Cristine is such nice person, and talking about confrontation is really hard for her. I'm really sorry that something like happen to her, but happy that she's in a better place and moved on from that.
I love how Ben cares how much she mature about it and her safety and suggests she takes a self defense course. There relationship is so precious ☺️
⚠️‼️Trigger warning folks! I'll be talking about trauma, fighting and vomiting here! Not really major, but i want to assure nobody gets triggered by this! ‼️⚠️
Some high schoolers are quite weird when it comes to fights because they just start going on about some little things just to start a fight. These things could vary from being as little as something embarrassing that the other person did, or could be things that the other person could not control. I find these people who try to butt themselves into others lives pathetic because it isnt anything they have say in imo lol. Why would anyone want to fight for no reason ? It's not like it gives them some sort of achievement. It just paints them in a bad image which could be that of someone who is dangerous and people should be afraid off, and it also gives them a huge ego which i find quite weird. Some people in my school think they are entitled to people's privacy and think that can boss others around. That is just gross. Whenever i hear stuff like "who do you think you are" from some of my peers, it makes me want to vomit and leave. All these people who start fights and bully people for no reason are going to give the other is (in some cases) trauma, as well as maybe trust issues or mental illnesses.
(I edited this comment because i realized that it sounded quite impolite which was never my intention. I am a high schooler myself so i apologize if what i said previously hurt you in any way. )
luncixxx, not all high schoolers are dumbasses. Some are, and they ruin it for everyone else. But others are decent human beings. It just depends what high school you went too aswell. I went to a very good high school, so those things didn’t happen much.
Safire Lutherhorn yeah usually the quite ones are the most intelligent. They don’t want to get into fights or talk back to the teacher they just want the work to be done.
Lol I'm a high-school student and I think highschool fights are pretty dumb
So, I have never seen, or been in a physical fight and I’m in year 8 (grade 9) in my secondary skl (i’m from England) but that might be the fact I go to a strict catholic all girls skl. The only thing I’ve seen relative close to a physical fight was a bunch of girls just being catty and bitchy forwards each other.
@@Rebeccanavarro132 yeah im in england too and i go to a regular secondary school and B O I once a kid threw the other through a two meter gigh fence and there were other very weird fights that ended it ppl going to hospital oof
She must regret that slap now
Ye
Was looking for this🤣
Why would she regret it
@Matter yeah, 100%! Regrets it probably because she's an adult reflecting on her actions.. not because of Christine's success. They're both human
She should regret it anyway cuz she slapped an innocent girl. No one should be proud that they hit someone for no reason, whether they're famous now or not.
I would always recommend to everyone that they take either a self-defence class or a martial art of some sort. Not just because of the fact that you can then defend yourself if necessary, but mainly because it makes you feel stronger! I started ju jitsu and I have felt so much more confident even though I have never had to use it outside of the gym (thank goodness) just learning it is so much fun and empowering! If you are on the fence about taking a class I would really recommend it 😊
Agreed. I took martial arts one summer. For me my head was much calm, clearer, less panicked. I feel like I can think more rationally. Now that Im older I forgot everything I learned. Haha.
There's a Canadian immigrant that talks a lot about the seriously deadly self defense that he practices for fun, but he also strongly explains why nobody should do such fighting for real against anyone or anything living. His channel name is @Skallagrim.
Once I was hit in the keg by this girl in school and she started strangling me even though we were friends and I couldn’t breath so I kicked her in the shin. I didn’t kick her hard at all. It didn’t even bruise. Then she had the audacity to start crying and saying omg she hurt me she hurt me even though she was strangling me and hurting me. It’s sad that this is still happening.
Lmao I just realized that I said keg
"do women still take those?" oh dear, sweet ben.
Lol 😂 me, having two krav maga classes under my belt & wanting more lol - personally I’d rather be safe than sorry, & i don’t expect anyone else to come to my rescue if I were to get into a dangerous situation.
Her freeze response is one of the 3 instinctual fight/flight/freeze responses to a stressor, it’s normal & we don’t really have control over which F3 response is our go-to, its hardwired in. I admire people who aren’t natural fighters because i am & it can get you into trouble 😂 but I also appreciate that about myself bc i realize not everyone has that kind of response, & sometimes it is useful. Either way the only way to gain any control whatsoever, is to train for different situations. No its not fair, but life’s not fair & i do believe women might not be predated upon as much if we weren’t seen as easy targets.
Why do I Lowkey think cristine can whoop some ass though 😂
She could if she wanted to, she just doesn't want to.
Back in high school there was a huge fight between girls on the back area of the school. Supposedly people were hacking up this fight for a while so more than half the school showed up. (I was a loser and didn’t know about it and was in the computer room). But the fight was so bad that one girl went to the hospital. She had a ruptured pretty much everything hips down. The other girl “team” was laughing it up because they made her shit her pants. I was horrified. Our school never had this before. Of course the girl never came back.
But like 6 years later my hubby and I were at a get together with his pool team and one of the players had her daughter over and it was her. I never said anything but drinks in they were talking about that fight and wow. The fight was for a boy. Stupid stupid stupid reason. She was also very opinionated and loud mouth. So I could see how this fight started.
She also started fights at her new school. Mom was blaming the system and the school should have had a body guard on her at all times. Pretty much put her daughter on the pedestal. Do no wrong.
Ashley Roberts Young adults need to realize that life is more than just boys and girls and partying 😑 I honestly don’t know what or who to blame in this situation smh man smh 🤦♀️
Oh my God! That poor girl! I bet they screwed her up permanently! I hope she went on and was able to have children if she wanted. Some teens just suck!!
Are you going to make a podcastepisode about being an introvert? Cause I'd be really interested in that. But no matter what you do I'll always support you! It's your life girl, do whatever makes you happy❤
Bla Bla yesss would like to see that introvert asf lol
HELL YEAH WOMEN TAKE SELF DEFENSE COURSES AND IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF. I took martial arts and self defense for 5 years, and the SMARTEST thing is to just not get into a bad position and avoid a fight. The self defense classes I trained in taught you how to de escalate bad situations, how to be aware of scary situations, and what to look out for to know if someone wants to attack or hurt you. The biggest thing for self defense is training your instincts to block and protect yourself, and then get away. You need to know how to block a punch to the head or protect yourself because a punch to the head could really hurt you or kill you, and it’s so important to know and train your instincts to defend, parry, “stun”, and just get out. Most people don’t know how to fight, but they can still hurt you. Good for you Cristine for walking away. I’m so sorry you had to deal with that!
This happened this year:
A kid in the year below me wanted to get me to come sit with them and I didn’t want to since I was reading, HE THEN RIPPED THE BOOK OUT OF MY HANDS AND WOULDN’T GIVE IT BACK. I told him seriously give it back and you know what he said “I know you won’t do anything because you aren’t mean in nature. THAT INFURIATED ME but still I didn’t do anything because my reaction was just to say that my mom would be mad. By the end I was nearly in tears before he gave it to me and I ran off and called my mom hysterical and sat out of class for a bit. He had to say sorry but all he said was sorry I didn’t - I mean I did mean to do it just not to upset you.
I’m a bit sad I didn’t stand up for myself much and I sat listening to music for an hour but I am glad that the teachers took it seriously he had done stuff like that before but I hadn’t gotten really mad until this incident. We went to a Christian school so all the teachers thought he was the good Christian but really he was really mean. My sister told me I should have sworn at him but I don’t swear and am very timid compared to her.
I'm sorry I'm sure you're very young but a kid younger than you, bullied you in a christian school... Just can't make this stuff up. 😂 They are not preparing you kids for the real world. Sweetheart you can not rely on anyone else to be a good christian bc their actions are not in your control. I remember what it was like to be you and it is almost as if you are more scared of yourself and being a bad christian than you are of him. It's okay for you to stand up for yourself bc it is not okay for people to treat you that way. Consider yourself lucky he didn't intend any real harm and there were people around to help you. There may come a time when someone may actually mean harm and nobody is around to help and they will not care if you're a good Christian. I'm nit saying this to scare you, i am trying to explain that you should take this as a learning experience to stand up for yourself or that boy will not be the only person in your life to walk all over you. And sure, mom may be upset but mom is not the one living your life, you are.
Ally Jay yeah I am actually moving to my first public school next term and I am in yr 9
I am just one of those shy timid kids. I am always say I will be assertive if the time comes but deep down I know I am to worried I might hurt the other persons feelings deep down. I don’t know how to break this! I wish I could just for once be angry someone but I just cant for some reason. Can’t wait for my move so I can be bullied at a public school. Do you have any tips for public school because I am being thrown into the deep end here
Ally Jay also I know I am very lame 😂
@@Brooke-jg3ie I went from the Catholic School to public school. It wasn't a bad change. I was timid too, but I was also comfortable being alone. There was only two other girls in my year at catholic school, so it actually was very welcome to go to a bigger school because I finally found people I meshed well with, more diversity. Don't be scared of kids in public schools, there exists nice kids. It did take me a long time to find my friend group but in between I found a few people I liked to hang out with and my high school friends remained strong through and after college. JOIN GROUPS, if you are lonely you will find people and clubs gives you easy common conversation topics. Politely avoid people you think are mean. Try to do easy things like go to movies with people once you know them a bit (obv after quarantine). Public School isn't like the movies or TV shows. It isn't a crazy difference from what you know. I don't know the culture in your schools but the vast majority of people don't care enough to bother others.
Also worst case, high school isn't good, college is really awesome
Danielle Miller thank you! I was so scared it was going to be mean girls (even though I live in Australia) and I would have to just avoid everyone. I am 100% an introvert
I guess my natural reaction would be the same but also I would be really angry in my head and just want to beat the crap out of them because tht memory of being slapped just doesn't go away
So you think you'd feel better if you "beat the crap" out of the other person instead? You'd just feel even more awful about the whole situation, in hindsight. Violence is never the answer.
@@D0MiN0ChAn no, I will feel awful and I won't do it, but I will be have these thoughts...I have been in similar situations where I have not reacted at all but I have always been angered by the unfairness of it all.
I try to not let my personal feelings make treat someone badly so when people try to take "revenge" 4 petty reasons it bothers me. No matter whether u like someone or not, that is never reason to be an asshole. One shouldn't abuse their power for personal use. And this is what makes me have angry thoughts...I'm not pro violence but I'm human and see no use pretending that I don't get angry or have urges to smack someone.
I get ur point however, but believe me I know there is no use in beating someone up.
D0MiN0 i wouldn’t feel awful about beating someones ass who slapped me for no reason😭😭
Thank you for encouraging actual pacifism. I know a lot of people who never want to hurt anyone, but "if someone attacked X och Y" they would jump in to defend the people they love and fight back. Actual pacifism is to stop the fighting so that *nobody* gets hurt, attacker included.
I consider myself a pacifist by nature but you can't realistically expect to diffuse the tension without anyone getting hurt in every situation. Sometimes someone needs to put the attacker down before they can hurt them or others and it is the right thing to do bc it minimizes the risk to innocent people.
@@allyjay7395 I get your point and agree to an extent, I think though to strive for a non aggressive solution is pacifism and should be the first port of call. But I agree that can't always happen, especially if someone just wants to attack no matter what anyone says or does x
I once got into a fight with another girl and by the end we BOTH cried because it got out of control.

Omg almost this same scenario happend to me when i was 14/15 years old. I had exactly the same reaction as you did. Good job 😉👍🏼
I'm so proud of you Cristine, bullies suck and kids can be so cruel, I'm sorry that happened to you.❤️ I was tormented and beat up by bullies for around 6 years. MSN was a thing back then so it just felt like it would never end and there was no escape so I switched schools and logged off the internet completely and somehow they found out which school I went to and got me again so I finally fought back. It didn't feel good to hurt another human being but I'd had enough. I'm glad those days are long behind me. You're such a kind soul and didn't deserve that, we never know what others are going through.❤️
I fully forgot that y'all are from Ottawa until Ben said "the tunnels at Carleton." that was super weird, because I currently go to Carleton lmao.
damn. that girl should see how successful Cristine is now.
Why would she care
Cj.Draw.Z Art why are you commenting on all the comments do you have nothing to do. The girl obviously seems mean so she’s just saying that she wonders how she would react if she found out how successful she is and that she’s sharing this with the world
@@Brenda-vi5es That girl didn't grow one bit if the only reason she feels bad is because Cristine is famous now. I hope that she felt bad as soon as she slapped Cristine because hurting another human for no reason is always awful.

I wish I was like you, because I was actually a fighter. I never started, but I always finished it and it didn’t matter if it was against a girl or boys. Side note: in my school students would have this street fights in a square, we were even on National TV once being called vandals, but we just didn’t wait to resolve things and move on...
I find your discussions very simple to understand and absolutely logical. And I love it. :)
During my freshman year at uni, my last class ended around 10pm and it was pretty sketchy. My university set up a little call area where we can buzz in to ask someone if they can walk us the dorms.
I love your Ben he is so kind to you. He is a keeper! 💖💅💖
I had almost this exact wotuation in secondary school, a girl and her friends cornered me amd tried to start a fight and when i decided to walk away instead of fight back, everyone started saying id been beaten up
I must say, as a very lanky person with no perceivable muscle, it kind of fun when people try to play “fight” me because they don’t know Im a black belt in Taekwondo. I was specifically trained in fighting people bigger than me when we did self defense week.
I have a little cousin who is very petit and has some learning challenges, so she gets bullied a lot. The best story she ever told me was when one girl who particularly hated her came up to her and pushed or slapped her or something and she just grabbed her collar and head butted her, like bloody nose headbutt.
When I was in middle school there was a fight one every other day, if not everyday. At one point the principal got hit with a padlock for trying to break one up. It slowed down a ton in high school, but it’s insane that a bunch of 12 year olds were fighting so much. Very sad.
as someone with anger issues i know how serious fights can be its never fun theres always consequences and u always always end up regretting it ive hurt family members and friends especially when i was younger it was pretty bad
it wasnt temper tantrums it was straight up violence i mellowed out since and havent gotten violent in quite a few years
i pretty much just ignore ppl who are pissing me off until they shut up and leave... i dont want to escalate a situation and hurt myself and another
i had a pretty bad reputation at school so i didnt have many friends so socially i was pretty bad which didn't help my communications skills
i still get really angry at stupid petty stuff... it is pathetic i feel like a child when i get angry
but like i said i haven't gotten into fights for a long time and im proud of that even tho its a pretty basic thing to accomplish
There's a difference between a unnecessary altercation (ex: Cristine's story, typical bar fights, etc.) and necessary altercation (ex: self defense, potential SA situations, etc.). Life is scary enough. I don't want to engage in real fights, but arm wrestling or other dumb play fights (where both people agree it's a play fight) are fun
Just a note on not really getting why someone would fight for fun, I used to do some contact sports! I did karate as well as wrestling and went to tournament. For me at least, it's a fun and great work out. However at least in these situations, it's mostly to compare skill and not to hurt the other person. Well bruises are commonplace, but nothing lasting.

Your reaction restores my hope in humanity 💜 I'm a huge pacifist myself but I couldn't just let someone hit me. I've done it my whole childhood & I can no longer do it again.
But the idea is nice as a hypothetical.
I definitely do enjoy asserting my dominance, a primal type of feeling really, but I don't do it unless I am being undermined or disrespected. & I do it through rational, assertive conversation, not authoritative bullshit & flailing fists 😂
My college used to have tunnels, but due to "issues" over the years, it was decided to shut them down. That's unfortunate during the winter time, but it was one of the better options the school had to help their students and deter the not so nice.
The way she said sorry, I love her
Yes! A self defense course is amazing. Not just for the empowerment, but the physicality and exercise aspect is rewarding. Our local police department offers courses for free for women only, and I often encourage people to go do them. It was recommended to me to take Jiujitsu and Krav Maga so you can always have the experience and muscle memory. (I haven’t done it because I don’t like signing up for things alone, but it’s so much fun just to learn and get exercise.)

I was a shy kid in middle school and didn’t have friends Lmao and this girl pulled my hair out of nowhere !!so I slapped her pretty bad and fled hide in the restrooms cause I thought I was gunna be suspended 😂
Thanks for not specifying which language they spoke before being asked, Ben. As a french-speaker who comes from Quebec, I'm glad your description of the asshole behavior wasn't tied to whether they spoke french or not.
It gets tiring to have "and they were yelling *french* at us!!!" in stories, as though our language just completely disconnects us from being first and foremost canadians, so I'm just glad you didn't perpetuate that :)
I can relate to Cristine's story, though I didn't exactly walk away. In my case when my "friend" slapped me (also for a stupid reason) I slapped her back because everyone was looking at me and I felt the pressure to prove myself, so I slapped her back even tho I didn't wanna to do it. From there on she got really violent and started to punch me, like REALLY punch me. And I was so shocked by that. I couldn't move, I couldn't even process what was happening.
She ended up "winning" the fight while I ended up with a black eye. But what really is amazing about this story is that the fight wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was when I left to the bathroom, crying in pain, and some of my classmates that were encouraging the fight followed me and blamed me, insulted me and screamed at me for not defending myself.
This was really traumatic to me, to the point where I can't cry in public, I get extremely anxious in fights (I get panic attacks) and also I don't like confrontation so I usually ignore or walk away from an argument. And I get triggered when someone mentions the fight so yeah... Not a really good experience.
i'll never understand the people that just stand and watch or try to egg on fights. If a fight happens at school all my friends run to go watch it and i'm left standing there like "?? what are you doing", it's immature and it's pathetic. Maybe it's because of my personality but I've never found fighting entertaining, not even the fake wwe stuff, it just doesn't sit right for me
It was not a physical fight...
So I was clickbaited!
I am joking dont come after me
When cristine’s canadianism rubs off on her viewers 😂
Gunjee 9493 😂🤣🤣
Fun fact i’m not sure about other countries but watching these fights is actually illegal, as it counts as watching child abuse and you can be fined for it. Same goes with recording it counts as producing child abuse videos.
I got into a few different physical things with people but they were all over fairly quickly and I’m somewhat ashamed to say I let them bait me into it because I was an angry little bastard back in the day
Cristine you are amazing! We need more people like you

Studying martial arts and being really good at it is something to be proud of I think. But that’s different then beating someone up just cause. Martial arts is a skill and you should be proud of your skills. Or just trying to protect yourself or someone else. It’s when you go out of your way to hurt people is when it’s obnoxious
Once a girl did something similar to me. She threw something at my head because it would make the people around her laugh. It was pretty demeaning. I knew why, she was jealous I was friends with everyone. I wasn’t “popular” I just got along well with everyone. I took a breath and walked away. I had never done anything to her personally or even badmouthed her so I was kind of upset by the whole thing. By the time the whole school found out, people were asking if I was going to fight her. I thought that was the dumbest question ever. Thanks for sharing Cristine, I suddenly feel a lot less lame for just walking away and not instigating something.
This breaks my heart 😫
I am a very aggressive person, so yeah, I was not mature when fights were instigated back in school lol.
In primary school I would fight with the boys and get super angry at them when they were sexist little bums, then in secondary school people learnt not to mess with me because once a boy punched me in the face and I punched him back on reflex and it hurt him more than me (I was already learning martial arts for 3 years at the time), and yeah, after that, there was that one group of boys who were a year older and all bigger (I'm tiny, and at 13, well, I was even tinier, lol) came up to me and my friend and were egging us on, and then they asked if it was true I was learning martial arts. I responded that, yep, of course. They asked my belt colour and when I responded (it was blue at the time, if I remember correctly), they decided to leave us alone. I think the news spread, because noone did start anything else with me personally again (though I was quick to intervene in cases of bullying, which, unfortunately, happened nearly everyday for one of my dear friends).
When that side of violent/aggressive me comes out, my friends are always quite shocked, because I'm usually chill haha (but usually it happens with sexual harassment/aggressions, like do not touch my bum, you dumbass. I'm not object, thank you very much). They also call me Mama-bear, hahaha! I get quite righteously vindictive when people want to hurt people I hold dear.
You aint some little gurl now. You are STRONG!!
Shes 31 of course shes not a little girl
I've never been to a fight, but i"ve had someone fight for me without my knowledge, the guy was mostly just protecting me cuz i was bullied for being a "lesbian" i was bi but wwhatever i dated a girl at the time. And yea that guy got into multiple fights to defend me, not that he wanted to fight, be defending a lesbian apparently was enough for people to hit you. So yea, all this happened behind my back for years, that guy barely talked to me, i'm not sure why he cared so much about protecting me. When i've met people years later and they told me about that, i cried so much cuz i felt really lonely at that time, and yet he was there, like a guardian angel
Check to see if your school will offer walk to car service. Campus security did at my school. Don't feel bad for asking. If you feel afraid please call them or have a friend/family pick you up.
This entire time I thought Cristine was going to tell a story about how she body slammed someone
THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MEEEE. In 6th grade I was punched in the face for a rumour about my sexuality and I just walked away. Everyone was trying to get me to fight back, but I didn't.
Lol a girl slapped me in the face when I was in Middle school and I had your same reaction. I just walked away. The weird fact is that I knew that she was going to slap me but I did not even try to stop her.
Sadly, the ms and hs I went to, had at least six fights everyday.
Is this what its like when you haven't grown up around violence and are a normal person? Omg I wish i had just been slapped :( it sucks when people actually try to hurt you with more than just a slap :(
My classes end 10:30 PM, and I live in a very dangerous city....
Ben my guy y’all got jumped 😭
When I was in high-school, I had a similar situation. A girl walked up to me and punched me right in my jaw with her friends behind her. Why? Because I told her she shouldn't talk about killing herself as we were friends at the time. All I could do was laugh cause it seemed so random and just continued on with lunch. It's the only time I've had a "physical altercation."
There was this guy who apparently liked me, and i didnt even know he existed. But his ex girlfriend was so mad and she kept telling people she was gonna fight me. I was so confused lol. Nothing happened, of course. But that is thankfully the closest ive gotten to a school fight. I prolly would have either ran away or broken her hand, if she decided to attack me.
I’m glad I’ve been in a fight before because it has taught me to not get into a fight unless absolutely necessary. My bf has never been in a fight and always brags that he could take someone (if needed) because he’s never been in a fight he has no idea what he’s saying.
I think it’s very mature to just turn around and walk away instead of going into the fight because you’re gonna get in trouble. Yes you might cry but look, it’s mature enough to just walk away instead of cussing and fighting. Just ignore it, fighting doesn’t make you look stronger. It’s more about ignoring it and caring about yourself
People are crazy. That’s why I’m such a homebody. 🥴
Lol i have trained in martial arts for like 7 years and I still don't think I would fight 'properly' in that situation
That girls must’ve regret what she did after slapping Cristine. There’s a reason she didn’t went after Cris and leave her alone as she should’ve from the start.
Why would she regret it
Beary Awesome Gamer wow I know everyone’s bored in isolation but you have asked “why would she regret it” multiple times on numerous comments. Since you wanna know why.
She would regret it because that girl she slapped in high school turned out to be successful and living her best life- that’s why.
Dreamy it goes beyond if someone turned out successful or not, it’s about respect and realizing you where just a sheep in a dumb childish game.
Dreamy I personally doubt a now-thirty year old woman would regret a childhood slap ONLY because the person she slapped happened to become a popular TH-camr.
Gosh, y'all are amazing
Literally, in my last year of high school before corona hit, there was nearly a fight every 2 weeks. And they were all over pointless things! The biggest one we had involved a year 9 student bringing in knuckle dusters to school so he could punch this kid in year 11 (my year) after school.
Nobody knew the reason whyit started, but the guy in my year was sent to the hospital while the year 9 only got a 2 week suspension.
After that, there was tension between my year group and basically any year below us. We'd never had trouble with our older students when we were in year 7, so everyone just said "I swear kids are getting cockier by the year".
But there were still fights within our year group, one being over a girl making a tic-tac or whatever about this other girl. Childish 🙄
Jesus the fucking year nines are the worst
When I went to Carleton I rarely walked the tunnels at night or was on campus. When I had no other choice, taking the O-Train home and then walking from South Keys to my townhouse was awful. I would get stopped at a cross walk by cars full of creeps asking if I wanted a ride home. Thankfully my BF would usually meet me at the train station to walk home with me, those few times he didn't though I almost always got stopped. It doesn't help that I am super short and look like a kid. LOL
Honestly same I hate when people go looking for fights and violence in general when someone uses it to come off cool or tough
Title: I was in a physical fight
Also Cristine : It wasn’t really a fight
😂😂
I love you so so so so much you are the best TH-camr ever and I want to meet you so badly you are the number one TH-camr on my list you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen funny, outgoing and talented
As someone who was the type to have slapped someone in high school, I want to apologise for that girl. High school is a hard time and in my case, mental illness played a massive part. As an adult I would neverrrr.
If Cristine had called the cops after that girl slapped her, what would have happened to the perpetrator?
I had a girl a few grades below me approach me once and start a confrontation because I was friends with the boy she liked? I dunno I think she assumed there was a thing, there never was. Anyway, she tried to confront me at the bus, but you could tell she was scared. I just laughed and turned around, but she grabbed my backpack and yanked me backwards. I just turned around, pushed her shoulder until she fell on her butt, then got on the bus and left. Everyone laughed at her. I felt bad, she was honestly... not well. But a lot of the time, your LACK of action in a "fight" speaks more.
That is one of those kind of "fights" where you think of something clever to say hours later to show that the slap was insane.
One time I accidentally stepped on the back of this girls shoe in the hall and she got really pissed. I walked around her but she was yelling that she wanted to beat the shit out of me lol. It was honestly just weird
I love when she said the f word without beeping in out😁
Sometimes I watch these when I wanna remember certain parts of your podcast lol.
when theres too much drama at school
all you gotta do is
🎶 walk awaaaaaayyyiiiiyaaayyiiiiyyiiyaaay~~ 🎶🎶
This kinda reminds me of 2 highschoolers at my school where a red head and another girl got in a fight because a girl fiddled with the girls boyfriend. The red head got her head slammed on the lunch table. They both only got a day of detention.
omg the outro scared me so much XD it's so loud
here in the states fights are a thing. especially here in atlanta, georgia. i’ve seen a lot people not really looking for a fight but if they are disrespected in anyway they will put there hands on you. so it’s weird. i grew up in california so i never really been n a fight. but like everyone here in georgia has. it’s more of a cultural or environmental thing i guess.
Awe ben is worried about her now
I would havesaid to her: get a hold of yourself
But like in a calm way and then i would have told my parents because that is how you actually defend yourself DON'T HIT BACK!
Yeah I got into a fight kinda but not. It was around 7th-8th grade so around the time u expect stupid stuff to happen but I was heavily excluded and bullied cus a rumor went around that I was with multiple men and sleeping with them. I was like this quiet singular person who just wanted friends but people believed the popular girl who spread the rumour. This one girl was like calling me mean words and stuff and throwing like pe gear at me but I just walked away and didn't react. This year still picks on people especially my friends occasionally but she's not in a good position now like parties and nearly gets pregnant almost every week so nice to know she had karma.
Cristine now be busting out the holo taco and blinding them all
Hu cristine luv u and hope u guys are doing well:)💕🦄💿💿
I remember once, when I was in middle school a "friend" and a few other real friends and I were walking out of school at the end of the day towards the bus pick up. For some weird weird weird reason the "friend" (I'll just call her Shen) but Shen did not like me at all for no reason. I never really found out why but she just didn't like me at all. And at that time after school we were just hanging out waiting for our bus to show up. But she randomly comes up to me and literally tells me to slap her. I had no idea what the heck she was talking about and figured she was just playing. I told her no and then afterwards she was making a big deal out of it. Saying that I was the one who was always bragging about being in fights or that I could defend myself,blah blah blah. But she made a big deal out of it and then she started pushing me, like it first started as what it seemed like playful nudging just to annoy me. But then she got really aggressive and started to shove me and knocked me against a wall and then actually slapped me out of nowhere. I flipped a switched and asked Shen what the hell her deal was, she never said anything about that but was just laughing. Now that freaked me out and I remember she was trying to "run" after me and she ended up catching the back of my backpack and threw me into a fence and I fell on the ground. She then tried to like kick me or do that stupid annoyong nudging thing to me. Told her to cut it out. And then she started trash talking and hit a hard nerve/thought. I shoved her and yes i did slap her, told her to chill the frig out and stop acting like a child. Turns out she ended up failing her last year of middle school, more drama that it was my fault some how, then found out she had somehow got the idea that I was saying stuff about her. Eventually I just broke the friendship after leaving for freshmen year while she had to repeat, and i suppose she went to get help and ended up being diagnosed with mental sicknesses. But i did find out my (2)friends were trying to notify the staff. But one was in on the whole deal but didnt think it would go that far.
