Being called plastic is so minuscule to all of the things those "popular" girls accused of saying and doing. They shouldn't be throwing a fit about the plastic comment, they probably take it as a compliment deep down inside anyways.
There's something about people with bood personality they are very rude awfull and they are bullies and this is what I see on this so called purpler girls
Agreed, unless if can dish it then you better take it. Look they aren't called plastic bc of their outer appearance more of their inner. Last time I check Cruella De Vil wasn't the fan favorite and she wasn't hated bc of her love for fashion. They are talking about how they wouldn't be friends with someone overweight. How to refer the theatre kids as nerds and wondering why they didn't want to be popular. Then when confronted, they were like well oh well deal with it because in the real world people, so that makes it okay to treat ppl like that. Unless they are the ones that are going suffer bc they live in a world were popularity matter and everyone loves them in they leave high school, they will know. Honestly, it doesn't surprise when they said to Tyra that they never bully any of these girls. I remember getting bullied and I ask my teacher to move my seat and she did. The bullies beg me to sit with them again and telling me what they were doing wasn't bullying it was called fun.
This is why I love being in college. Everyone is meeting you for the first time, and there's none of this stuff going on. No one really cares what kind of clothes you wear, and you can sit anywhere in the caf and instantly be friends with those people. Also, mostly everyone is broke from paying tuition and room and board, so everyone's really in the same boat.
Really, because my experience is that bullies are in every areas and stages of life. Bosses, cops, teachers, coworkers, friends, family, neighbors, doctors, nurses. They are everywhere and you must always be on guard.
@Terri M Thankfully, not to a severe point of being humiliated by the entire class! I’ve had a few incidents of being hurt and betrayed by a few “friends” but nothing that made he dread high school or lead to depression. I wasn’t popular, or the center of attention. I was basically “just there” but I had a small group of good friends that I’d eat lunch with everyday. I also had a fair share of friendly classmates that befriended me and become my talking buddy in the classroom. So high school wasn’t perfect but it was manageable and I had my memorable good moments.
+Adriana Saadi USUALLY GIRLS LIKE THESE HAVE LOW SELF ESTEEMS AND GUYS DONT LIKE ''POPULAR'' GIRLS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS GETTING INTO DRAMA AND GUYS DONT LIKE THAT PETTY SHIT BUT EVERYONE IS GONNA HAVE PEOPLE THAT HATE THEM EVEN ''POPS''
But being called 'plastic' is mean, and surely if they want to get anything resolved here, both parties need to lay their weapons down and move on with a new start. Personally, I don't think it's right that only one popular girl really apologised for they way she was treated, I think that they should have all apologised (popular and unpopular) so they can all have a fresh start with no grudges
All these so called popular 'pretty' girls are average af in my opinion and the girls who are so called 'ugly' all have pretty faces. Meh I was one of the inbetweeners, neither end of the spectrum.
BrokeStudent Help plenty of guys like heavy set girls. Id turn lesbian for the girl in the green hoodie and glasses i like how she dresses as well. Great style.
Me neither, it's not like those "popular" girls really wanted an apology. They just wanted to look and feel like victims and say hey, we get bullied too. They probably went home and talked about everybody.
I had ZERO friends in high school. I did everything alone. I was constantly picked on. And it really hurts my feelings that people can be so mean to each other.
I was picked on in high school too, until I started hanging out with the wrong crowd. Lol But nothing really changes. People are nasty and mean, no matter how old you are.
LuLu Renee It says in book How to win friends and influence people. Taht no-one kicks a dead dog, if you had nothing about you then they would'nt say anything, so it is compliment in a way. Also if they did'nt know you, you can't take it personally. There is probably something wrong with them.
Those "popular" girls that participated in the experiment didn't learn anything for a couple of reasons. Firstly, they knew that the fictional school was just that. It was all an act. They should have gone to a real school to experience real reactions. The second thing is that they knew that they would just go back to being pretty as soon as the experiment was over. Real acne can't be washed off in one go. Bigger people can't peel off a fat suit and instantly be skinny. It's totally different to play dress up than it is to live with something like that. What these mean girls need is a bite of some humble pie, and if they haven't already gotten it they're going to get it because karma has its way of catching up to people.
Kristen Jakins I agree especially when they get older and into the real world. My grandma always taught me to be good to everybody. Karma will catch up with you and people really don't forget about the time when you bullied them. When you get into the real world you learn very fast that the world is small especially when you see the one you bullied in school as your supervisor, manager, co-worker, or later on as the ceo of the company that you work for. That's a lot to think about but these girls were young and didn't think about how their actions might effect them later on in life.
Plus these girls weren't even pretty to begin with, just wearing makeup. They're most likely....still "popular" because they continued on a trajectory of being so. They went to college. most likely, and were nasty to people trying to join their sorority. also most likely. Or they didn't go to college and were nasty in the workplace. But I think they each experience ongoing moments of intense insecurities even today. These girls and I are the same age/generation and ours was THE WORST because we introduced the social media age and at first, we were totally irresponsible on there. At least these days on social media, people are more accepted and called out/canceled. Back in the 2000s and early 2010s cyberbullying was more petty and people started to treat each other that way in real life. If you didn't have selfies to put on Myspace back then, you were a nobody.
but regarding your point about them not learning their lesson because it's a fake environment, based on other social experiments this show has had, people are kind of like "Punk'd" so I think those other kids in the fake classroom thought THEY were the experiment, until the popular girls showed up in costume. Their egos are so big and their insecurities are so DESPERATE that even during a fake act, they still felt bad not being the center of admiration. (Plus it's kind of illegal to subject minors to unhealthy environments even for reality TV. So they'd never subject the girls to actual humiliation in a real school.)
@ Slappin’ bASS I know. And the issue isn’t even that they’re popular and well-dressed. It’s they have a bad attitude! Most of them do. They don’t realize how damaging it is for “unpopular” kids when they’re looked down upon and judged for unfair reasons when they’re done nothing wrong. These kinds of kids will never learn…….until the they get a dose of their own medicine in real life (not some fantasy experience that they know is fake).
I find it awful how the popular girl who actually decides to apologize can't even get through the apology without saying "but we need an apology from you too for calling us plastic" like JUST BE THE BIGGER PERSON AND APOLOGIZE omg
Pretty much. Notice how the unpopular girls are the only ones who gave actual sincere apologies? It just kills me that Tyra started chastising them because of their desire for life to be fair, and for bullying not to be as prevelant as it is.
+Raven Dowsey no she isn't the popular girls r cool and pretty and amazing and like tyra said , the popular girls always make it in life and they always become popstrs like Beyonce and shit
Chelsea Abili lol you clearly didn't listen...tyra said it's the unpopular girls That will become beyonce. Lol beyonce was actually bullied herself peer it and also studies have shown that popular kids in high school do not become the popular kids when it counts like in the future
This was appalling. Tyra yelled at the victims and comforted the bullies. And making the victims apologise for calling them plastic? Please. Those poor girls. Respect to the girl in the purple hoodie for not taking Tyra's crap and apologising to someone who didn't deserve it.
I would've just accepted it and moved on....cuz that's wat u gotta do in life for the things u can't change,just accept it and move on i mean damn its not the end of the world if ur strong enough to take the bullying and if the bully says sorry, then just accept it and move on
Tori Richards - she may have not been "popular" back on the Tyra show but I'd bet she is one of the most gorgeous gorgeous women that people will come and she is probably magnetic not only because of her looks but because of her Aura and personality.
it goes nowhere. The "popular" kids from my HS all peaked in high school so now they just complain about how much they hate college life and want to go back to highschool.
I agree with the girl who didn't think the "mean girls" deserved an apology. I have been bullied a lot. When people call you names everyday, when you people physically hurt you everyday... you just want the "mean girls" to understand what it feels like. They are the one who did wrong, not you.
Watching this made me tear up because I was bullied all through middle school to the day of my high school graduation when no one but my parents clapped as I walked the stage and some people bood. I am now a senior in college, have a handsome boyfriend, got slim thick, grew my hair out, took out my braces, and even with ALL of that, sometimes the memories and the emotions of being bullied come back and make me go into a shell. I'll be at work and people are laughing at something the boss said, but i'll automatically think they're laughing at me and be sad and quiet all day. Even with my friends. Being bullied doesn't just affect someone during the time. The effects go years and years into the future. Looking back I wish I was more bold to speak up against it. For anyone going through it, SPEAK UP AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU REALLY THINK OF THEM! The worst they can do is push you or call you names, and if they do touch you, report them! Or write an anonymous report. Don't be silent, because staying silent will effect you for years like it has for me
The "unpopulars" didn't need to apologize. They were calling them plastics not because of how they dress but because of how fake they are on the inside. I know what its like to feel unpopular. I was made fun of for my good grades and it was pushed to a point that I was terrified to raise my hand in class and people hated me for getting the right answer. Not only that but I was teased because of my height and how tall I was, I had girls telling me on a regular basis that I would never find a boyfriend. Number one. I don't need a boyfriend, I'm independent as fuck. Number two. This summer I was flown all over the country to model. I am would never have gotten this opportunity if I wasn't 5'9" Number three. I am smart. I am independent. I am a model. And I don't need you telling me how to
I feel the most sorry for Chante, because you can tell she really trying to be nice to people, but they just keep hating on her weight. Plus what that girl said at 14:59-15:11 is the whole message of this segment which Tyra should have been drumming into all those ''popular'' girls heads.
I wasn't really "popular," but I had good relations with a lot of people. I hung out with a lot of different people. I wasn't usually invited to parties, but people still asked me about what I did in my free time.
I was bullied ruthlessly by the "popular girls" at my high school. Believe me when I tell you they each got their individual doses of Karma...getting pregnant, losing friends, etc. It's crazy how they act in the moment but don't expect life to strike them back later on. Wonder where these girls on the show are now.
Even when nothing Inherently bad happens to them, you know they peaked and crashed so goddamn hard. Imagine going from literal royalty in your social group, always someone texting you, being wanted in general to nothing. It's a rude awakening for all of them in the real world. All of their "friends" disappear at graduation and their only social skills are surface level. A deserved rude awakening.
Yess. What goes around comes around!!! I was bullied for being fat all through childhood. Im a size medium now and the popular girls- single moms and/or twice the size I was (I was a size 16-20 in middle and highschool)
I like Tyra for being open, human, honest and sincere about many thing in life. This show opens many issues and barreirs in life we all have to proces and learn. I would like part 2 or Even 3 of this show.
Watching this made me so annoyed. Those 'popular girls' are so cocky and stuck up. I have friends, yes i would say I'm kind of popular, but i would never be so harsh to call someone 'ugly' or 'fat' or 'losers' its so cruel that people judge other people on their looks. We are all human. Its just cruelty. Yes i understand what I'm saying can be harsh in some cases but bully's need to see how disgusting there personality is, rather than looking at themselves and saying "oh my looks are so amazing, I'm so perfect." Yes they might be pretty on the inside. But there personalities will always be ugly.
All that popular groups shit in my High School went to shit after graduation. All the smart kids got money and nice cars and most of the popular kids just hung around each other not doing shit but partying and drinking.
And now a days, it’s the unpopular “nerds” that are becoming more popular and well liked. They’re the ones who are labeled as fun and easy going. As a teen, I would have chosen the Disney/anime “nerds” over the snobby popular kids in a heartbeat.
lol why the hell does this have 28 thumbs up, how ignorant can you get to automatically assume that ever black girl wears a weave, especially when it's pretty evident that it's her real hair. You along with the other idiots who thumbed up your stupid comment must be really simple minded.
I don't like the girl but that is not a weave. So racist to assume that us not her real hair. None of those girls were wearing weave the only one wearing a weave or a wig was Tyra
Disliking or saying something about popular girls such as calling them plastics, isn't rude. It's like reverse racism- the populars may feel offended, but they don't know what it's truly like, and what they say about the unpopular girls is truly offensive.
justin.both of them should they are both name calling each other the non popular teens are saying the popular teens are plastics and the popular teens are saying the non popular teens are ugly and stuff so ya
all the popular ppl at my highschool were really nice. probably because they were all honors/ap classes populars, not like the party loving drop out popular
+greynezz that's exactly how it was at my school. popular kids weren't always the richest or best looking, they were usually the smartest kids in school. ....and I can't really tell because it's so small, is that KEVIN in your DP?
***** Wow, look who has the nerve to make a comment about bullies and popularity after your incredibly mature trolling and bullying on the comment I made, telling me how much of a loser I am. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I know this old but acne doesn’t happen because they aren’t simply washing their face 😂 I take good care of my skin and still broke out with bad acne in high school she’s arrogant asf
I'm starting college this September, and I'm so excited. High school wasn't horrible, I was never bullied. But I was never necessarily popular either. Me and a small group of 5 friends would sit behind the cafeteria every lunch since grade 9. You could say people barely knew we existed. But I enjoyed high school, and I'm so excited for a fresh start.
I don't think it would have been damaging psychologically because at the end of the day they don't look that way. It would have given them the truth of how their actions effect others. I think doing this would have created a much more successful discussion after the experiment. One of the girls was 18 at 16-18 my self worth was already pretty much realized. If they were 12-14 years old I might agree.
I was president of the thespian troupe my senior year of high school, and I did theatre all 4 years. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life and no one should be considered "unpopular" for enjoying an extra-curricular activity.
Those were the popular girls?? These girls would not have made it through my high school..in fact, the "unpopular" ones I found to be even more prettier. I know that this was more than 7 years ago but you could already tell these unpopular girls had a real glo up by now (as kids from my generation say).. Comparing the popular ones to the ones in my school or other schools I've seen, there really is no comparison..
The girl in the vomit green plaid shirt who looks like Kylie Jenner before she injected her lips tried to justify their actions by saying everywhere you go there are going to be people who don't like you but what you fail to realize is having to endure the same thing everyday while you're trying to figure out who you are at such a young age is painful .
Tyra handled this poorly to be blatantly honest. There's no way the Plastics gave up their old ways. You could see their annoyance when someone spoke up against them. They don't need apologies, what the unpopulars did was miniscule to what the populars said and did
@ Yellur Bandana From what I heard, Tyra was supposedly bullied herself as a teen for being too skinny, tall, and awkward. It clearly damaged her. So the moment she became famous, she began using and abusing her power to do to others what she was too spineless to do to the bullies back then.
Ylene P. At my school mean people are popular but nobody gets bullied (in my grade) and everyone has at least 1 friend to hold them down or a friend group of 3 people
She clearly is the worst mediator for this. Tyra clearly has a case of severe insecurity. Probably do to her own alleged bullying experiences herself during her few years.
***** Lots of schools in the US do have uniforms, but it doesn't make a big difference. Mean kids are going to bully, and kids who have low self-esteem won't be able to brush it off.
In middle school I was very outspoken wasn't hanging out with the popular kids but I had my friends that didn't care what others think. I was the kind that will stand up for those who were being bullied. Even now I'm still the same❤️ if you see someone being mistreated say something , don't stay quiet!
I was popular in High School, I got a lot of compliments all the times. I would always say thank you. What made my beauty and all the rest of the great things that was going on in my life, it made me reach out to those that wasn't as fortune as I was. I made friends with them and we became the best pal. I made many of them feel better about themselves. I put myself in their shoes. Their was times it was me cry because of the way unpopular were treated. D. Mc Dowell.
Nothing wrong with being popular and good looking. As long as you have a good personality to match it. If you were able to treat other kids nicely and respectfully and be inclusive of everyone, that means you were popular for the RIGHT reasons not the wrong ones.
They didn't have to put Tamera on blast like that on national tv... Now it's out there for the world to see and it could hurt her future. I think that's worse than "tripping someone in the hallway. Also, you don't have to be pretty to be popular. The "popular" girls at my school are popular because they are confident, dress well, are outgoing, and they hang out with the right people. Some of them are pretty, but some of them are butt ugly. You don't have to be popular to bully people. You can be popular and be bullied. You don't have to be ugly or overweight to be "unpopular." It's about how you carry yourself and who you associate with. If you have no confidence, you will be treated like a doormat. Many beautiful people with perfect bodies are unpopular, because they have no confidence and they're socially awkward. Not all "unpopular" kids are bullied.
I understand where you are coming from but you have to remember that this happened in 2009...society has changed tremendously since then. But the girl tamara is making her self look like a bitch. She could have just sat there and just rolled with it like the other girls instead of acting all out. P.s. Some of us where not in high school as the same time or the same school as them so we don't know if this how they truly are in school back then. Im not trying to start an argument. Just stating my own opinion.
It's_time_ to_RANT Why do people think that having high self esteem is a bad thing? I think I'm good looking and talented. I say thank you, instead of denying it when I'm given a compliment. Just because I have high self esteem doesn't mean I'm not humble.
I agree some popular people are very ugly. Only popular because they're loud and know alot of people. They can be placed at all the clubs fighting and all that dumb shit.
I am a very empathetic person. When I was at my old school I was popular because I was kind to everyone. I loved everyone. Even though I did judge people (who doesn't) I was never mean to them. I did make some mistakes. But then, I moved to my new school. I was so unpopular. It was horrible. I was put down for being weird and crazy. That was one of the reasons people loved me at my old school. But at my new school people put me down for that. This really puts everything into perpetuate! Thanks Tyra!
SAME! All of the popular kids at my school are actually not very rich and/or chubby. But if they were to be on that panel their would be a few nice popular kids and the rest would be mean. If you can relate, please like.
More pretty, more approachable? Not w/those stuck up faces you won't be, plus you won't attract nice guys, just pricks. The unpopular girls look sweet and genuine. In college your popularity in high school is not going to mean anything.
19:12 "This is like the princess of my toilet." What? Someone tell me that they herd that as well. I can't even understand how that was supposed to be an insult.
To make it more realistic they should have experimented for a week, at a real school. What's stopping the popular girl from feeling real emotion is that knowing she is in the fat suit and within a fictional setting, she will realise that it's not real
The "popular girls" don't deserve an apology because the other girls were only reacting to how they were being mistreated. They only wanted an apology because they were being forced to take accountability for their actions for the first time in their lives, and they were uncomfortable with that. I'm glad Brittney called them out.
i didn't like how the unpopular girls had to apologize for calling the popular girls plastic and the popular girls didn't even apologize for picking on them.
TBH I feel like these extreme bullying stories mainly happen in American high schools? Because I'm from Germany and we really have almost no extreme bullying issues, at least in my area. I am aware that this varies from region to region, but bullying just seems like a way bigger problem in America - at least from the stories I've heard.
Franzi it is. It's a huge problem in American schools, not even just high school but elementary and middle schools too. I was bullied all through out school, my younger sister was bullied. Most schools don't actively do anything about bullying unless it becomes physical, and at that point the victim is punished for unwillingly being involved. For me, bullying didn't stop until I on my own started physically defending myself when I was physically attacked. It took me being hit and shoved into a set of lockers and physically pushing and hitting back for people to realize it didn't matter if I was poor, didn't matter if I wasn't cute, didn't matter if I was socially awkward, I wasn't going to let them treat me like garbage. It was the same for my sister, she was bullied for being "weird" and watching anime and a group of 3 girls decided to jump her. Almost every other week they were physically attacking her and it wasn't until she blacked out and broke one of the girls noses that they backed off.
Nikkie Knight I'm really sorry for what you went through. I was just ridiculed and rejected from groups because I was emo but never physically attacked.
this entire show was a complete waste of time. tyra didn't accomplish shit here. i wouldn't be surprised if everything at their school stayed the same even after this episode.
+keepyoureyesopen Tyra isn't a fixer upper. She atleast tried to do something and create a platform for social change within these girls. That is something that many parents, teachers and principals are scared to do and avoid. Tyra did her best to fix this situation but maybe the girls were too young or hurt to understand. Hopefully they can look back and understand what she was trying to educate them on.
Thank you for posting this. I remember what it was like in high school, and sometimes it's like people act as if I imagined it. I would also like to point out that uniforms don't always help.
I totally LOVE her messages to each group of girls at the very end. Man is she ever right. If you pin your whole self-esteem on having the "right" look you are going to be sad later as external beauty does fade. I know. I had it going on in terms of beauty and clothes in school and now I'm just a regular looking person.
This was so interesting to watch. I can totally relate to what the "unpopular" girls were going through. I was my high school's most hated girl because... 1. I have Aspergers 2. I was in my "emo phase" 3. I liked comics and cartoons I didn't have any friends. I wasn't in any cliques, groups, or clubs. I'm not on social media. My music taste isn't like the "popular"/preppy girls. I was always alone. Heck, I even sat alone in the cafeteria. Everyone knew me as the weird kid who likes to draw and play video games. In senior year, everyone started to at least appreciate me. Because I was creative. Because I was kind. Because I was funny. And most of all, because I was different. It doesn't matter what clothing brands you wear or represent, or the stuff you like, or even your skills or talent. People will like you if you are a decent and caring human being who respects other human beings. I learned that the hard way, and I'm glad that I never was labeled as a nerd, goth, jock, etc. I was just me, and I was happy at the fact nonetheless.
I agree. I honestly don’t see how those girls became “popular” in the first place. All they seem to have going for them is their nice trendy clothes. I don’t see anything else that’s special about them.
Tyra is my hero, omg! She is one of those people that can made alot of change in this world! She has made alot of change and I know she will continue to on this earth! ❤❤❤
That’s nothing but facts. How many of us still keep in touch with a majority of our high school classmates…..with the exception of maybe 1-3 of our best friends?
Towards the end was sickening to watch. Cannot believe the “unpopular” girls were encouraged to apologize when THEY were the ones that have been mentally and emotionally damaged by the “popular” girls ... Who couldn’t even accept ANY responsibility whatsoever. I’d LOVE to see how those “popular” girls are doing now a days 😂✌🏼.
I agree. I graduated high school in 2008. So I’m about the same age range as these girls! And I would have chosen to be friends with the “unpopular” girls over the popular ones in a heartbeat. Even back then, I wanted good loyal friends! NOT fake ones!
I was also picked on in school. And it was at a time when things were especially difficult because of the environment I was in. I couldn't talk about what was really going on because I wanted to avoid any further ridiculing. So I just internalized it. I didn't really cry about it until many years later. So you see, sometimes pain like that can last a lifetime, without even knowing it.
HIGH SCHOOL CHILDREN, I AM TELLING YOU, THERE IS LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL!! I cannot stress this enough, don't take what they say too seriously dammmnn. Just block it out and just hang around the people you care about. You were not put on this Earth to try to impress other people, like I hate seeing sad things like this. As cheesy as this may sound, it will get better, once you start college, have a fresh start and shiz, them so called "popular" groups are not going to be in your life forever...and another thing, why is American high school seem harder than British ones, people are mean but not thaaat mean over here.
I live in the uk and I agree I just started high school and I watch lots of American movies about this eg mean girls. I think it's easier here in Brit cus we hav uniform and as they said they said they say that people have ugly clothes or hair ext. but in Brit we limited to many things the only way u can pretty much get bullied ( in my opinion) is tht u mad tht bully feel uncomfortable in a way,like at my school some1 is getting bullied because he told on the bully and got him in trouble that's y. But honestly at the end of the day looks don't get u anywhere.
Munya Mwaijumba Jamaican schools aren't that bad either we are limited to uniforms and does this shit happen to the guys there I go to an all male school. Us guys jump out of our beds and dont give a fuck what we look like well some of us
being called plastic is sooooo hurtful. wtf?, no the unpopluar kids shouldnt have to apologize. and those popular girls arent cute or know how to dress. ive always been nice to everyone i dont see whats so hard about that. those popular girls didnt acknowledge any hurt feelings, or that they didnt care and didnt sincerely realize or apologize. not to mention tyra seemed to side with the popular girls. the emphasis should be put on popularity DOESNT matter. what the hell. who cares?
Maria Perna Absolutely. It's not like the "popular" girls ever heard themselves being called "plastics" and felt bad or sad as a result. Tyra is a moron for asking the "unpopular" girls to apologize and for comparing this issue to race. Popularity is not an immutable characteristic.
That is very one sided, and an ignorant way to think of the situation. And you were actually paying close attention to the video you would see Tyra wasn't taking any sides.
If I was in Tyra's shoes I would have sat each and every one of them girls down and giving them a real talking to, because there was absolutely no real outcome from that, and I'm pretty damn sure that those popular girls went back to school the next day and bullied the other girls even more than they normally do
Okay! This is a BLOODY joke! At 35.12.. When trya is saying that bullshit popular kids have the power to break the wall and making chante apologise! Woman ! This really pisses me off, she didn't even try with the popular kids , she further empowered them and made them feel good! Man! Oprah would have been the best person to handle this!
Being bullied for being short is such a real thing. I am 4'10 as a grown adult woman, so you can imagine how short I was like 6th or 7th grade, people look down upon you physically and socially. They feel like they can pick on us because we are small
Being called plastic is so minuscule to all of the things those "popular" girls accused of saying and doing. They shouldn't be throwing a fit about the plastic comment, they probably take it as a compliment deep down inside anyways.
Dakohta Schmainda absolutely agree with you. They're so entitled, they think they 'deserve' an apology. No they don't
Rissa Oh OK but that's not fair. they both said dumb stuff
There's something about people with bood personality they are very rude awfull and they are bullies and this is what I see on this so called purpler girls
Dakohta Schmainda my thoughts exactly.
Agreed, unless if can dish it then you better take it. Look they aren't called plastic bc of their outer appearance more of their inner. Last time I check Cruella De Vil wasn't the fan favorite and she wasn't hated bc of her love for fashion.
They are talking about how they wouldn't be friends with someone overweight. How to refer the theatre kids as nerds and wondering why they didn't want to be popular. Then when confronted, they were like well oh well deal with it because in the real world people, so that makes it okay to treat ppl like that. Unless they are the ones that are going suffer bc they live in a world were popularity matter and everyone loves them in they leave high school, they will know.
Honestly, it doesn't surprise when they said to Tyra that they never bully any of these girls. I remember getting bullied and I ask my teacher to move my seat and she did. The bullies beg me to sit with them again and telling me what they were doing wasn't bullying it was called fun.
Saying someone has bad hygiene because they have acne is just cruel it usually is genetic
It's usually genetic*
Stella Barrett It's not JUST genetics. Cleaning your face well and drinking water everyday often and eating healthy helps.
+LITERAL CANSUR
you have obviously never gone through acne because sometimes it's uncontrollable BECAUSE of genetics
Also, hormones
Stella B ignorance how true
This is why I love being in college. Everyone is meeting you for the first time, and there's none of this stuff going on. No one really cares what kind of clothes you wear, and you can sit anywhere in the caf and instantly be friends with those people. Also, mostly everyone is broke from paying tuition and room and board, so everyone's really in the same boat.
Tina Urban partly true. but you definitely have a point. I still feel like we are judged by the way we look in society in general.
😭😂😱 What school do you go to? College is just high school on a much bigger level.
43iRandom FACTS 😂😂
43iRandom lol daaamn true
Really, because my experience is that bullies are in every areas and stages of life. Bosses, cops, teachers, coworkers, friends, family, neighbors, doctors, nurses. They are everywhere and you must always be on guard.
The girl with the glasses talking about the dramaclub is gorgeous.
I know right. I was like who the hell is calling her ugly maybe they need to borrow her glasses. See what I did there.
+Thesummerset Islife Damn right I see what you did there 😂 their eyesight isn't great
+Thesummerset Islife omg yessss😂
People...saw.....what I did there(cries out of joy) ACCEPTANCE AT LAST
I totally agree! Her hair is also so sassy! Love it!
hands up if you feel like you've been personally victimised by tamara
puts my hand up * :c

Cut to the chase. Where's that bus at?
@Terri M
Thankfully, not to a severe point of being humiliated by the entire class! I’ve had a few incidents of being hurt and betrayed by a few “friends” but nothing that made he dread high school or lead to depression.
I wasn’t popular, or the center of attention. I was basically “just there” but I had a small group of good friends that I’d eat lunch with everyday. I also had a fair share of friendly classmates that befriended me and become my talking buddy in the classroom. So high school wasn’t perfect but it was manageable and I had my memorable good moments.
19:15 the princess of my toilet? tf?! deadd
lmfao one second after i heard that and went tf? i looked at ur comment, what a weird coincidence
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 WTH YO IM DEAD
Lol fr 😂. Like what??😂🤔🤦🏾♀️😂😂
That made me laugh 😂
its been 6 years since this episode... would love to see where them popular girls are at today?
***** well that escalated quickly...
+Adriana Saadi USUALLY GIRLS LIKE THESE HAVE LOW SELF ESTEEMS AND GUYS DONT LIKE ''POPULAR'' GIRLS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS GETTING INTO DRAMA AND GUYS DONT LIKE THAT PETTY SHIT BUT EVERYONE IS GONNA HAVE PEOPLE THAT HATE THEM EVEN ''POPS''
Instagram modelling and getting paid
Strippers lol
they are teen moms
These "plastics" are RACHETT!!! At least Regina George was hot.
+chance herring regina looked like a paper bag
+Aeriell Guy TRUE!
Regina was ugly
They are 😂
Which one was Regina?
there is somthing very wrong with the way tyra handled this situation...making the unpopular girls apologize .....noooooooooo
grace chiridza i agree too if i was one of those girls i wouldn't apologize. I didn't see not one of the popular girls apologize for picking on them
But being called 'plastic' is mean, and surely if they want to get anything resolved here, both parties need to lay their weapons down and move on with a new start. Personally, I don't think it's right that only one popular girl really apologised for they way she was treated, I think that they should have all apologised (popular and unpopular) so they can all have a fresh start with no grudges
All these so called popular 'pretty' girls are average af in my opinion and the girls who are so called 'ugly' all have pretty faces. Meh I was one of the inbetweeners, neither end of the spectrum.
erca waters same tho
BrokeStudent Help yesss
BrokeStudent Help plenty of guys like heavy set girls. Id turn lesbian for the girl in the green hoodie and glasses i like how she dresses as well. Great style.
Oh my god I wanna hug the girls from the beginning so bad like girl come here it's ok you're beautiful just the way you are
same
tbh I don't blame that girl for not apologising lmao
Me neither, it's not like those "popular" girls really wanted an apology. They just wanted to look and feel like victims and say hey, we get bullied too. They probably went home and talked about everybody.
I don’t either. I can’t stand one-sides apologizes. Apologies need to come from BOTH parties involved in a dispute
I had ZERO friends in high school. I did everything alone. I was constantly picked on. And it really hurts my feelings that people can be so mean to each other.
I was picked on in high school too, until I started hanging out with the wrong crowd. Lol But nothing really changes. People are nasty and mean, no matter how old you are.
I'm so sorry. This sounds lame, but it does get better.
LuLu Renee It says in book How to win friends and influence people. Taht no-one kicks a dead dog, if you had nothing about you then they would'nt say anything, so it is compliment in a way. Also if they did'nt know you, you can't take it personally. There is probably something wrong with them.
SOUPRUN01 Dale Carnigie? Thats a great book. Another good one is by Joe Navarro.
I was to myself too and I'm like that to this day...sometimes it's lonely but, I love it.
Those "popular" girls that participated in the experiment didn't learn anything for a couple of reasons. Firstly, they knew that the fictional school was just that. It was all an act. They should have gone to a real school to experience real reactions. The second thing is that they knew that they would just go back to being pretty as soon as the experiment was over. Real acne can't be washed off in one go. Bigger people can't peel off a fat suit and instantly be skinny. It's totally different to play dress up than it is to live with something like that.
What these mean girls need is a bite of some humble pie, and if they haven't already gotten it they're going to get it because karma has its way of catching up to people.
Kristen Jakins I agree especially when they get older and into the real world. My grandma always taught me to be good to everybody. Karma will catch up with you and people really don't forget about the time when you bullied them. When you get into the real world you learn very fast that the world is small especially when you see the one you bullied in school as your supervisor, manager, co-worker, or later on as the ceo of the company that you work for. That's a lot to think about but these girls were young and didn't think about how their actions might effect them later on in life.
Plus these girls weren't even pretty to begin with, just wearing makeup. They're most likely....still "popular" because they continued on a trajectory of being so. They went to college. most likely, and were nasty to people trying to join their sorority. also most likely. Or they didn't go to college and were nasty in the workplace. But I think they each experience ongoing moments of intense insecurities even today. These girls and I are the same age/generation and ours was THE WORST because we introduced the social media age and at first, we were totally irresponsible on there. At least these days on social media, people are more accepted and called out/canceled. Back in the 2000s and early 2010s cyberbullying was more petty and people started to treat each other that way in real life. If you didn't have selfies to put on Myspace back then, you were a nobody.
but regarding your point about them not learning their lesson because it's a fake environment, based on other social experiments this show has had, people are kind of like "Punk'd" so I think those other kids in the fake classroom thought THEY were the experiment, until the popular girls showed up in costume. Their egos are so big and their insecurities are so DESPERATE that even during a fake act, they still felt bad not being the center of admiration. (Plus it's kind of illegal to subject minors to unhealthy environments even for reality TV. So they'd never subject the girls to actual humiliation in a real school.)
@
Slappin’ bASS
I know. And the issue isn’t even that they’re popular and well-dressed. It’s they have a bad attitude! Most of them do. They don’t realize how damaging it is for “unpopular” kids when they’re looked down upon and judged for unfair reasons when they’re done nothing wrong.
These kinds of kids will never learn…….until the they get a dose of their own medicine in real life (not some fantasy experience that they know is fake).
I find it awful how the popular girl who actually decides to apologize can't even get through the apology without saying "but we need an apology from you too for calling us plastic" like JUST BE THE BIGGER PERSON AND APOLOGIZE omg
In my head Tyra is more ok with the popular group than the "not popular" group
Pretty much. Notice how the unpopular girls are the only ones who gave actual sincere apologies? It just kills me that Tyra started chastising them because of their desire for life to be fair, and for bullying not to be as prevelant as it is.
Chante is soooo cute !!!
+Fazilah Bk For real though!! She is adorable
Ikr she is prettier than all of those "popular" girls
+Raven Dowsey no she isn't the popular girls r cool and pretty and amazing and like tyra said , the popular girls always make it in life and they always become popstrs like Beyonce and shit
Chelsea Abili lol you clearly didn't listen...tyra said it's the unpopular girls That will become beyonce. Lol beyonce was actually bullied herself peer it and also studies have shown that popular kids in high school do not become the popular kids when it counts like in the future
This was appalling. Tyra yelled at the victims and comforted the bullies.
And making the victims apologise for calling them plastic? Please.
Those poor girls.
Respect to the girl in the purple hoodie for not taking Tyra's crap and apologising to someone who didn't deserve it.
If they would say that they would do the same thing the best revenge is karma
I would've just accepted it and moved on....cuz that's wat u gotta do in life for the things u can't change,just accept it and move on i mean damn its not the end of the world if ur strong enough to take the bullying and if the bully says sorry, then just accept it and move on
Wassa bicch they couldn’t even apologize and you can tell they’re not sorry period
Well Tyra was a bully in school so no suprise there
@@queenleisha9162 straight up she may be from Inglewood but she doesn't really know hard knocks.
Chante is one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. I'm surprised that's she's not "popular"
Tori Richards - she may have not been "popular" back on the Tyra show but I'd bet she is one of the most gorgeous gorgeous women that people will come and she is probably magnetic not only because of her looks but because of her Aura and personality.
my name is chante
oh thank you so much
It's not about looks ...its about personality
@Sam Galea Depends on what school you go to. Some places it's looks, some places it's clothes, some places it's personality, etc etc
Sam Galea right! I totally agree with you.
When you finish high school, where is the popularity going to?
To the trash.
I know right people alway think its the most important thing in the world like foacus on you math test
Best comment ever
Very beautiful girls here. My greetings from Brazil for all of you.
it goes nowhere. The "popular" kids from my HS all peaked in high school so now they just complain about how much they hate college life and want to go back to highschool.
THEY'RE NOT EVEN PRETTY JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL
😂😂
Lol exactly
And by saying that, you're no better than them.
I know I'm a horrible human being congratulations
Kmsl
I agree with the girl who didn't think the "mean girls" deserved an apology. I have been bullied a lot. When people call you names everyday, when you people physically hurt you everyday... you just want the "mean girls" to understand what it feels like. They are the one who did wrong, not you.
Dude I’m sorry but when the actor playing the mean student said “this is my third time watching leprechaun in the hood” I was losing it 😂
I feel like this would be more effective if Tyra sent the girls out into the real world instead of fake classrooms with fake actors.
Watching this made me tear up because I was bullied all through middle school to the day of my high school graduation when no one but my parents clapped as I walked the stage and some people bood. I am now a senior in college, have a handsome boyfriend, got slim thick, grew my hair out, took out my braces, and even with ALL of that, sometimes the memories and the emotions of being bullied come back and make me go into a shell. I'll be at work and people are laughing at something the boss said, but i'll automatically think they're laughing at me and be sad and quiet all day. Even with my friends. Being bullied doesn't just affect someone during the time. The effects go years and years into the future. Looking back I wish I was more bold to speak up against it. For anyone going through it, SPEAK UP AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU REALLY THINK OF THEM! The worst they can do is push you or call you names, and if they do touch you, report them! Or write an anonymous report. Don't be silent, because staying silent will effect you for years like it has for me
I agree with you and sn: Good for you though!
wait I'm a bit confused if Tyra is putting these girls in fictional situations how is it a social experiment I wanted it to be in a real school
i was thinking the same thing..they should of have it were the cameras were not there
I'm sure there was a good reason, but with really experienced actors it can feel real. You'd be surprised. This was probably filmed during summer.
lacedoll23 thank you! Smh.. they didn’t learn anything!!
The "unpopulars" didn't need to apologize. They were calling them plastics not because of how they dress but because of how fake they are on the inside.
I know what its like to feel unpopular. I was made fun of for my good grades and it was pushed to a point that I was terrified to raise my hand in class and people hated me for getting the right answer. Not only that but I was teased because of my height and how tall I was, I had girls telling me on a regular basis that I would never find a boyfriend.
Number one. I don't need a boyfriend, I'm independent as fuck.
Number two. This summer I was flown all over the country to model. I am would never have gotten this opportunity if I wasn't 5'9"
Number three. I am smart. I am independent. I am a model. And I don't need you telling me how to
I feel the most sorry for Chante, because you can tell she really trying to be nice to people, but they just keep hating on her weight. Plus what that girl said at 14:59-15:11 is the whole message of this segment which Tyra should have been drumming into all those ''popular'' girls heads.
Tyra is such a beautiful, pure, human! she's a queeeeeen!!
I wasn't really "popular," but I had good relations with a lot of people. I hung out with a lot of different people. I wasn't usually invited to parties, but people still asked me about what I did in my free time.
I class that as popularity
Yes I am the same way I don't get invited to many party's but people still talk to me and I would say they are my friends then I have my close friends
seriously those girls are the popular ones??? i was expecting gorgeous girls not...them lol whats up with there hair and clothes?..
This was years ago so kids dressed dofferently
this was 6 years ago
some of them are not even pretty, they're just mean girls
You realize you are being no better right?
+Pamela Berte you are no better! Do you hear yourself?
I was bullied ruthlessly by the "popular girls" at my high school. Believe me when I tell you they each got their individual doses of Karma...getting pregnant, losing friends, etc. It's crazy how they act in the moment but don't expect life to strike them back later on. Wonder where these girls on the show are now.
Even when nothing Inherently bad happens to them, you know they peaked and crashed so goddamn hard. Imagine going from literal royalty in your social group, always someone texting you, being wanted in general to nothing. It's a rude awakening for all of them in the real world. All of their "friends" disappear at graduation and their only social skills are surface level. A deserved rude awakening.
Yess. What goes around comes around!!! I was bullied for being fat all through childhood. Im a size medium now and the popular girls- single moms and/or twice the size I was (I was a size 16-20 in middle and highschool)
I like Tyra for being open, human, honest and sincere about many thing in life. This show opens many issues and barreirs in life we all have to proces and learn. I would like part 2 or Even 3 of this show.
Tyra always makes her truth the absolute truth and that makes this show unbearably preset. She often doesn't leave room for personal opinions.
you CLOCKED it 8 years ago!!
Tyra was harder on the non popular girls and showed the popular girls more sympathy in my eyes. She needed someone else to moderate
Watching this made me so annoyed. Those 'popular girls' are so cocky and stuck up. I have friends, yes i would say I'm kind of popular, but i would never be so harsh to call someone 'ugly' or 'fat' or 'losers' its so cruel that people judge other people on their looks. We are all human. Its just cruelty. Yes i understand what I'm saying can be harsh in some cases but bully's need to see how disgusting there personality is, rather than looking at themselves and saying "oh my looks are so amazing, I'm so perfect." Yes they might be pretty on the inside. But there personalities will always be ugly.
All that popular groups shit in my High School went to shit after graduation. All the smart kids got money and nice cars and most of the popular kids just hung around each other not doing shit but partying and drinking.
And now a days, it’s the unpopular “nerds” that are becoming more popular and well liked. They’re the ones who are labeled as fun and easy going. As a teen, I would have chosen the Disney/anime “nerds” over the snobby popular kids in a heartbeat.
@@amylee8969 not really but ok
Tyra handled this very poorly tbh
Ya i agree
She should’ve went harder on the plastics!!!
Right, she was yelling at the "victims" and comforting the bullies...
I agree
She sure did I mean she whole bully herself so
Tamara "Im blessed with good hair" Me more like blessed with a good WEAVE
Lol true
Smh that was actually her hair. permed and straightened. learn the difference. Not all black people wear weave if you can't tell just hush
lol why the hell does this have 28 thumbs up, how ignorant can you get to automatically assume that ever black girl wears a weave, especially when it's pretty evident that it's her real hair. You along with the other idiots who thumbed up your stupid comment must be really simple minded.
Orran Beasley Those who are not of us are extremely ignorant about us.
I don't like the girl but that is not a weave. So racist to assume that us not her real hair. None of those girls were wearing weave the only one wearing a weave or a wig was Tyra
I'll point the middle finger at everybody. But that's just me..
Same
None of those "popular" girls are pretty, even back in 2009 I wouldn't have thought they were pretty
Yeah idk why they think they're special
2007 actually
i heard that tyra hired actors for segments such as this.
Disliking or saying something about popular girls such as calling them plastics, isn't rude. It's like reverse racism- the populars may feel offended, but they don't know what it's truly like, and what they say about the unpopular girls is truly offensive.
NOORWAY -what I was trying to say is that reverse racism isn't real which is why the "populars" being "harassed" doesn't really add up
I agree, it blew my mind when Tyra made them apologize to the bullies. it made no sense. and its also not healthy way of thinking
+Mark Main she made them apologies because theh where calling the cool girls plastic
kepera cham they shouldn't have to apologize
justin.both of them should they are both name calling each other the non popular teens are saying the popular teens are plastics and the popular teens are saying the non popular teens are ugly and stuff so ya
all the popular ppl at my highschool were really nice. probably because they were all honors/ap classes populars, not like the party loving drop out popular
And that's why you're Asian buddy
Jake Slays
im not asian. the person in my dp isnt me lol
+greynezz that's exactly how it was at my school. popular kids weren't always the richest or best looking, they were usually the smartest kids in school. ....and I can't really tell because it's so small, is that KEVIN in your DP?
KEVIN
***** Wow, look who has the nerve to make a comment about bullies and popularity after your incredibly mature trolling and bullying on the comment I made, telling me how much of a loser I am. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"If I see a girl like this, I would definitely tell her to go home and wash her face" (smh)
-Tamara 2009
I know this old but acne doesn’t happen because they aren’t simply washing their face 😂 I take good care of my skin and still broke out with bad acne in high school she’s arrogant asf
I dont understand how in the end Tyra was holding the bully's hand and telling the victims to apologize to them.
2021, WHERE ARE THEY NOW IN LIFE??
I love how the nerds in MY high school were actually the populars 🤓📚💯
Saira Muhammed SAMEEEEEEE
I'm starting college this September, and I'm so excited. High school wasn't horrible, I was never bullied. But I was never necessarily popular either. Me and a small group of 5 friends would sit behind the cafeteria every lunch since grade 9. You could say people barely knew we existed. But I enjoyed high school, and I'm so excited for a fresh start.
How was college for you?
@@Dream-rg1mp Oh my God, I don't remember writing this. But it was good! Didn't get a job in my field, but oh well. Still a fun time. :')
would have been a lot better if the there teens weren't actors. They should have put them in an actual different school.
yeah that would of worked..but too well...it's. psychologically damaging...because at that age they might perceive the negativity as the truth.
I don't think it would have been damaging psychologically because at the end of the day they don't look that way. It would have given them the truth of how their actions effect others. I think doing this would have created a much more successful discussion after the experiment. One of the girls was 18 at 16-18 my self worth was already pretty much realized. If they were 12-14 years old I might agree.
I was president of the thespian troupe my senior year of high school, and I did theatre all 4 years. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life and no one should be considered "unpopular" for enjoying an extra-curricular activity.
Those were the popular girls?? These girls would not have made it through my high school..in fact, the "unpopular" ones I found to be even more prettier. I know that this was more than 7 years ago but you could already tell these unpopular girls had a real glo up by now (as kids from my generation say)..
Comparing the popular ones to the ones in my school or other schools I've seen, there really is no comparison..
Aurelye venegas agreed. tamara was especially ugly lol
Aurelye venegas truuuue
Aurelye venegas true
hypocrite.
🐸🍵
the unpopular 1s more prettier lets not go crazy now i know u r just trying to b nice but not so truthful
Chante looks sooooo cute really beautyful
Klara Peumery right?!
The girl in the vomit green plaid shirt who looks like Kylie Jenner before she injected her lips tried to justify their actions by saying everywhere you go there are going to be people who don't like you but what you fail to realize is having to endure the same thing everyday while you're trying to figure out who you are at such a young age is painful .
It upsets me that mainly the unpopular girls apologized like that's stupid
Tyra handled this poorly to be blatantly honest. There's no way the Plastics gave up their old ways. You could see their annoyance when someone spoke up against them. They don't need apologies, what the unpopulars did was miniscule to what the populars said and did
@ Yellur Bandana
From what I heard, Tyra was supposedly bullied herself as a teen for being too skinny, tall, and awkward. It clearly damaged her. So the moment she became famous, she began using and abusing her power to do to others what she was too spineless to do to the bullies back then.
TYRA DID NOTHING SHE HANDLED THIS SO POORLY!!!
That girl said she wasn't mean? She said if a "fat" girl tried hanging out with her she probably wouldn't because they aren't "pretty"
At school there is no such thing a being popular now a days, you either just have a lot of friends or you are really pretty.
actually there is that probably your school
Ylene P. At my school mean people are popular but nobody gets bullied (in my grade) and everyone has at least 1 friend to hold them down or a friend group of 3 people
that's called "popular" 😐
Kat Prinner Popular is everyone knowing you and fearing you
Did they really just make the unpopular girls apologize...? Ok Tyra....
She clearly is the worst mediator for this. Tyra clearly has a case of severe insecurity. Probably do to her own alleged bullying experiences herself during her few years.
Went to high school with all these girls and the 'fictional' school scenario was actually the students from my school's drama club.
What happened to them after high school?
Yeah any update?
+Naturally Oreale *updates
Wow what happened to them
i think that kids in america should were uniforms to stop bullying like in the uk
Yup! I think the same
I already do And i hate it
Careful, you don't want to become one of those damn uniform-wearing socialists.
We have a uniform and it is terrible. It is so freaking uncomfortable.
***** Lots of schools in the US do have uniforms, but it doesn't make a big difference. Mean kids are going to bully, and kids who have low self-esteem won't be able to brush it off.
In middle school I was very outspoken wasn't hanging out with the popular kids but I had my friends that didn't care what others think. I was the kind that will stand up for those who were being bullied. Even now I'm still the same❤️ if you see someone being mistreated say something , don't stay quiet!
I love Tyra, your gonna be a great mother someday ^_^!
I was popular in High School, I got a lot of compliments all the times. I would always say thank you. What made my beauty and all the rest of the great things that was going on in my life, it made me reach out to those that wasn't as fortune as I was. I made friends with them and we became the best pal. I made many of them feel better about themselves. I put myself in their shoes. Their was times it was me cry because of the way unpopular were treated. D. Mc Dowell.
Nothing wrong with being popular and good looking. As long as you have a good personality to match it. If you were able to treat other kids nicely and respectfully and be inclusive of everyone, that means you were popular for the RIGHT reasons not the wrong ones.
They didn't have to put Tamera on blast like that on national tv... Now it's out there for the world to see and it could hurt her future. I think that's worse than "tripping someone in the hallway.
Also, you don't have to be pretty to be popular. The "popular" girls at my school are popular because they are confident, dress well, are outgoing, and they hang out with the right people. Some of them are pretty, but some of them are butt ugly. You don't have to be popular to bully people. You can be popular and be bullied.
You don't have to be ugly or overweight to be "unpopular." It's about how you carry yourself and who you associate with. If you have no confidence, you will be treated like a doormat. Many beautiful people with perfect bodies are unpopular, because they have no confidence and they're socially awkward. Not all "unpopular" kids are bullied.
I understand where you are coming from but you have to remember that this happened in 2009...society has changed tremendously since then. But the girl tamara is making her self look like a bitch. She could have just sat there and just rolled with it like the other girls instead of acting all out. P.s. Some of us where not in high school as the same time or the same school as them so we don't know if this how they truly are in school back then.
Im not trying to start an argument. Just stating my own opinion.
It's_time_ to_RANT Why do people think that having high self esteem is a bad thing? I think I'm good looking and talented. I say thank you, instead of denying it when I'm given a compliment.
Just because I have high self esteem doesn't mean I'm not humble.
We can see who is popular here
I agree some popular people are very ugly. Only popular because they're loud and know alot of people. They can be placed at all the clubs fighting and all that dumb shit.
ryley parrett It takes a lot of confidence to say you that and claim to not have confidence
These are still very real & serious problems people face even today in all areas of the world. Thank you for sharing this to us all Tyra! ❤️
I am a very empathetic person. When I was at my old school I was popular because I was kind to everyone. I loved everyone. Even though I did judge people (who doesn't) I was never mean to them. I did make some mistakes. But then, I moved to my new school. I was so unpopular. It was horrible. I was put down for being weird and crazy. That was one of the reasons people loved me at my old school. But at my new school people put me down for that. This really puts everything into perpetuate! Thanks Tyra!
tyra you are such a rolemodel! i love how you just own up to everything you've ever done!
None of those girls would have been popular at my school. At all.
Same Tbh but remember this was like 6 years ago
ya, prettier girls in this generation
Symi Hope
SAME! All of the popular kids at my school are actually not very rich and/or chubby. But if they were to be on that panel their would be a few nice popular kids and the rest would be mean. If you can relate, please like.
i agree they are so ugly if they think they are pretty anyway.
if you are reading this your beautiful 😍😍😀😀😀😃😃😃😁😁😁😎😎😎✌❤❤❤❤
thanks!😀💛 you're beautiful too!!!
More pretty, more approachable? Not w/those stuck up faces you won't be, plus you won't attract nice guys, just pricks. The unpopular girls look sweet and genuine. In college your popularity in high school is not going to mean anything.
19:12 "This is like the princess of my toilet." What? Someone tell me that they herd that as well. I can't even understand how that was supposed to be an insult.
To make it more realistic they should have experimented for a week, at a real school. What's stopping the popular girl from feeling real emotion is that knowing she is in the fat suit and within a fictional setting, she will realise that it's not real
I agree cause I felt like all of this was scripted
And they should've made ALL the girls do it
The "popular girls" don't deserve an apology because the other girls were only reacting to how they were being mistreated. They only wanted an apology because they were being forced to take accountability for their actions for the first time in their lives, and they were uncomfortable with that. I'm glad Brittney called them out.
i didn't like how the unpopular girls had to apologize for calling the popular girls plastic and the popular girls didn't even apologize for picking on them.
TBH I feel like these extreme bullying stories mainly happen in American high schools? Because I'm from Germany and we really have almost no extreme bullying issues, at least in my area. I am aware that this varies from region to region, but bullying just seems like a way bigger problem in America - at least from the stories I've heard.
Yeah it is. What you watch in Hollywood is real
Franzi it is. It's a huge problem in American schools, not even just high school but elementary and middle schools too. I was bullied all through out school, my younger sister was bullied. Most schools don't actively do anything about bullying unless it becomes physical, and at that point the victim is punished for unwillingly being involved. For me, bullying didn't stop until I on my own started physically defending myself when I was physically attacked. It took me being hit and shoved into a set of lockers and physically pushing and hitting back for people to realize it didn't matter if I was poor, didn't matter if I wasn't cute, didn't matter if I was socially awkward, I wasn't going to let them treat me like garbage. It was the same for my sister, she was bullied for being "weird" and watching anime and a group of 3 girls decided to jump her. Almost every other week they were physically attacking her and it wasn't until she blacked out and broke one of the girls noses that they backed off.
Nikkie Knight I'm really sorry for what you went through. I was just ridiculed and rejected from groups because I was emo but never physically attacked.
Franzi nah bullying happens everywhere have a nice day
+Nikkie Knight 💛💛
this entire show was a complete waste of time. tyra didn't accomplish shit here. i wouldn't be surprised if everything at their school stayed the same even after this episode.
Shut up
+keepyoureyesopen it probably got worse
+Kathryn Jeanette I hope not :/
Yeah so stupid. The popular girls doesn't even look popular
+keepyoureyesopen Tyra isn't a fixer upper. She atleast tried to do something and create a platform for social change within these girls. That is something that many parents, teachers and principals are scared to do and avoid. Tyra did her best to fix this situation but maybe the girls were too young or hurt to understand. Hopefully they can look back and understand what she was trying to educate them on.
Thank you for posting this. I remember what it was like in high school, and sometimes it's like people act as if I imagined it. I would also like to point out that uniforms don't always help.
Uhm... Did anyone else notice that the popular girls were actually ugly? Lmao
especially tamara
chante is gorgeous. jus wanted to make that clear
I totally LOVE her messages to each group of girls at the very end. Man is she ever right. If you pin your whole self-esteem on having the "right" look you are going to be sad later as external beauty does fade. I know. I had it going on in terms of beauty and clothes in school and now I'm just a regular looking person.
Not all unpopular people are ugly and not all popular people are pretty actually it's the opposite at our school
Money?
FireHorse36 What about it?
+Amy Brown money. is that what makes people popular and unpopular at your school?
Kamryn Freeman Oh right, no it's usually the ones that drink and go to loads of parties and wear short dresses and tons of makeup e.t.c
what no , popular girls r always pretty and unpopuale girls r always ugly no of fence to them
This was so interesting to watch. I can totally relate to what the "unpopular" girls were going through. I was my high school's most hated girl because...
1. I have Aspergers
2. I was in my "emo phase"
3. I liked comics and cartoons
I didn't have any friends. I wasn't in any cliques, groups, or clubs. I'm not on social media. My music taste isn't like the "popular"/preppy girls. I was always alone. Heck, I even sat alone in the cafeteria. Everyone knew me as the weird kid who likes to draw and play video games.
In senior year, everyone started to at least appreciate me.
Because I was creative.
Because I was kind.
Because I was funny.
And most of all, because I was different.
It doesn't matter what clothing brands you wear or represent, or the stuff you like, or even your skills or talent. People will like you if you are a decent and caring human being who respects other human beings. I learned that the hard way, and I'm glad that I never was labeled as a nerd, goth, jock, etc. I was just me, and I was happy at the fact nonetheless.
I thought most of the unpopular girls were prettier than those popular girls lol
I agree. I honestly don’t see how those girls became “popular” in the first place. All they seem to have going for them is their nice trendy clothes. I don’t see anything else that’s special about them.
Looks don't have to do with being popular.
I love all these girls. Sending healing vibes transcending space and time ✨✨✨🌃
THIS SHOW DOE why did it go off the air ugh
Tyra is my hero, omg! She is one of those people that can made alot of change in this world! She has made alot of change and I know she will continue to on this earth! ❤❤❤
Just cause they're your friends now, doesn't mean they're gonna be your friends in 10 years
That’s nothing but facts. How many of us still keep in touch with a majority of our high school classmates…..with the exception of maybe 1-3 of our best friends?
" WE NEED AN APLOGY FOR BEING CALLED PLASTICS" I LIKE HOW ENTITLED SHE FEELS
Towards the end was sickening to watch. Cannot believe the “unpopular” girls were encouraged to apologize when THEY were the ones that have been mentally and emotionally damaged by the “popular” girls ... Who couldn’t even accept ANY responsibility whatsoever. I’d LOVE to see how those “popular” girls are doing now a days 😂✌🏼.
I agree. I graduated high school in 2008. So I’m about the same age range as these girls! And I would have chosen to be friends with the “unpopular” girls over the popular ones in a heartbeat. Even back then, I wanted good loyal friends! NOT fake ones!
I was also picked on in school. And it was at a time when things were especially difficult because of the environment I was in. I couldn't talk about what was really going on because I wanted to avoid any further ridiculing. So I just internalized it. I didn't really cry about it until many years later. So you see, sometimes pain like that can last a lifetime, without even knowing it.
HIGH SCHOOL CHILDREN, I AM TELLING YOU, THERE IS LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL!! I cannot stress this enough, don't take what they say too seriously dammmnn. Just block it out and just hang around the people you care about. You were not put on this Earth to try to impress other people, like I hate seeing sad things like this. As cheesy as this may sound, it will get better, once you start college, have a fresh start and shiz, them so called "popular" groups are not going to be in your life forever...and another thing, why is American high school seem harder than British ones, people are mean but not thaaat mean over here.
I live in the uk and I agree I just started high school and I watch lots of American movies about this eg mean girls. I think it's easier here in Brit cus we hav uniform and as they said they said they say that people have ugly clothes or hair ext. but in Brit we limited to many things the only way u can pretty much get bullied ( in my opinion) is tht u mad tht bully feel uncomfortable in a way,like at my school some1 is getting bullied because he told on the bully and got him in trouble that's y. But honestly at the end of the day looks don't get u anywhere.
Munya Mwaijumba Jamaican schools aren't that bad either we are limited to uniforms and does this shit happen to the guys there I go to an all male school. Us guys jump out of our beds and dont give a fuck what we look like well some of us
Nico Maxo exactly i think america should have a new law like, high school students have to wear uniforms it would change a lot
being called plastic is sooooo hurtful. wtf?, no the unpopluar kids shouldnt have to apologize. and those popular girls arent cute or know how to dress. ive always been nice to everyone i dont see whats so hard about that. those popular girls didnt acknowledge any hurt feelings, or that they didnt care and didnt sincerely realize or apologize. not to mention tyra seemed to side with the popular girls. the emphasis should be put on popularity DOESNT matter. what the hell. who cares?
Maria Perna Absolutely. It's not like the "popular" girls ever heard themselves being called "plastics" and felt bad or sad as a result. Tyra is a moron for asking the "unpopular" girls to apologize and for comparing this issue to race. Popularity is not an immutable characteristic.
That is very one sided, and an ignorant way to think of the situation. And you were actually paying close attention to the video you would see Tyra wasn't taking any sides.
***** Ignorant way of viewing this video.
Katherine Pierce Nope. Asking the victims to apologize is not appropriate. You seem confused about the meaning of the word "ignorant."
***** It's definitely appropriate, and no i'm not confused. Both sides were wrong for judging each other without knowing anything about one another.
If I was in Tyra's shoes I would have sat each and every one of them girls down and giving them a real talking to, because there was absolutely no real outcome from that, and I'm pretty damn sure that those popular girls went back to school the next day and bullied the other girls even more than they normally do
'the princess of my toilet'? da fuck?
Okay! This is a BLOODY joke! At 35.12.. When trya is saying that bullshit popular kids have the power to break the wall and making chante apologise! Woman ! This really pisses me off, she didn't even try with the popular kids , she further empowered them and made them feel good! Man! Oprah would have been the best person to handle this!
+Puresmilez I agree 100%!!!
+Puresmilez Tyra did not handle this well at all
yep
Being bullied for being short is such a real thing. I am 4'10 as a grown adult woman, so you can imagine how short I was like 6th or 7th grade, people look down upon you physically and socially. They feel like they can pick on us because we are small
Its funny because all the "unpopular" people are the ones who are gonna make it in life
I want to give Chante a hug, and I'd want to be her friend if I was in her school. She comes across as a really kind and sensitive person
