Sometimes when people switch classes they try to look for the the person they bully, then they remember the number of the locker, like say mine was “B 49” or something, then they’d go there once the victim is away and out a nasty letter or something in the locker. They put the paper through the crack of your locker I guess.
Jake Walter i know this video came out 3 years ago but i came out as trans 2 months ago and since then ive had my hair cut short and everything im happy right now this is also an awesome video
I am so overwhelmed by joy right now. Im a in transition ftm student who will be going to Utica high next year... I couldn't believe it when I saw the Eisnhower sign in the beginning of the video. The video was amazing. The message was awesome... Your fantastic, thank you so much :)
I know this is off topic but... When I was watching ur guys film I couldn't help to notice that u guys go to Eisenhower. I'm at malow but I walk past the performing arts center almost everyday soo I was like "OMG they go to Eisenhower!!" Lol by the way I loved ur film, it's good to know that there are people wanting to help transgender community near me.
I was trying to show that they didn't really know each other, but i should have done that in a better way. Thank you for the feedback, i'm always looking for ways i can improve :)
that's whole point that person didn't intentionally misgender him or deadname him but they forgot his real name so they used that :) it's a film thing, easy to catch onto once you understand it
Just got back to this video after 5 years and can't believe all the wonderful comments. makes me truly happy to see it's still gaining views and comments, love to you all!!
I know most people don't own the rights to the music they use in their videos, but it should be a norm to place the titles of the song(s) used in the description. =)
Focus on the personalities of each character. If you're doing all the acting, you have to make it believable that they are separate people (voices, attitudes, etc.)
I'm shocked at the statistics at the end. At my school only three friends know I'm actually male and they didn't bully me. It did come as a shock because we're in an all girls school but they accepted me.
Madison Johnson We're not harsh. We're actually pretty awesome as long as you meet people in the right area, diffidently in Detroit youre going to meet harsh people, but I'm from GR people are nice down here. Certain people at least. Aha.
Just tell them how you feel because if you don't tell them then you not true to yourself. Don't hide what you feel just be yourself if they're transphobic then tell them fuck off this is real me. You can't hide how you are if your honest to your mum and your boyfriend. How can you be honest to yourself?
I get beat up every day and shown flashing lights to give me seizures and have rocks thrown at me. I've been drunk 4 ish times at school and have smoked and cut to try to deal with it. It never works...
im trans but my parents wont approve of me being trans i think of my name as zachery and not sara. i have a girlfriend and she supports me. also a few of my friends do to. My School Makes Fun Of ME! but none of the teachers/staff/princebles know about this yet so uh jake, dude can you help?
@@NatjelovesBillk maybe, but mzny trans people dont have the resources, especially when young. Not to mention judgment from family might be an issue as well. Using things as are binders that aren't meant for it, or even wesring a binder improperly can cause problems.

Gullbra Kisa Are the transgender people who have banned drag queens from gay parades and demonstrations bigots? Maybe they get a pass. Is drag a form of expression that crosses the line when it comes to freedom of speech? I guess drag must be considered silly and stupid or something. Who gets to decide that drag is a stupid and harmful form of speech? I wonder how you might feel about animal activists calling meat eaters murderers. Is that OK? The vast majority of people wouldn't consider eating meat murder. Is that stupid and harmful speech? Who gets to decide?
Gullbra Kisa Do you really think that it's a good idea to give a small group super status to determine how others must dress? Are you saying that if a group has suffered a large amount of oppression that they should be given the right to oppress? Societies have tried that and I can't think of any instance where it's worked out very well. If it's wrong to throw people to the curb just because they're different, why should we turn a blind eye when the person doing the tossing is transgendered?
Gullbra Kisa Maybe not. I'm glad you're not mad:) I don't really care much either way if you're gay, straight, transgender or anything else though. I'm not sure how that'll come across...... It's all I've got.

I'm sorry to hear that. In the video i tried to get the point across that those types of things do not help, infact they worsen everything. The best thing to do is find someone to talk to about your concerns it feelings. It sounds lame, i know. But it'll help
+The Wacko Green alien Bullies often attack because they feel like you won't hit back... But if they start it you have a right to defend yourself. Maybe that's not the best advice though in a school setting... But you do need to talk to someone.
whoever directed this has the best taste in music
also this was beautiful
thank you, i forgot about this after high school and it's crazy to see the response its gotten
would you list the song for me please
How does everyone in these type of short films know where their "target's" locker is?
In high school I didn't even know where my own locker was!
Poison Girl
here in Italy we don’t even have a locker hahhaha

Actually it's happened I'm my highschool.
I'm an FTM guy and It's so helpful to watch all of these videos
This was amazing.
Also I cried in laughter at the chick with the My Chemical Romance t-shirt best part.
Thank you for all the wonderful comments!

2:55 "you're that Justin kid right?"
Umm at the start he said his name was Jason not Justin

I couldn't stop the flow of tears.
OH MY GOD THIS WAS FILMED AT MY SCHOOL
The girl with the My Chemical Romance shirt was a good person! Nice to know that people support us
Just got back to this video after 5 years and can't believe all the wonderful comments. makes me truly happy to see it's still gaining views and comments, love to you all!!

Nice film Jake! I love the message!
Justin trust her she is in a MCR shirt
I am a male to female I get laughed at every day of my life to the point I tried to end my life on too many occasions
Fantastic video, good to see a more true story of the sorta stuff that happens to a trans person.
what song starts at 2:12 anybody know? i cant find that version.
I know most people don't own the rights to the music they use in their videos, but it should be a norm to place the titles of the song(s) used in the description. =)
I relate to this so much
THIS SO AWESOME! this is how my life is basically but more depressing.... >.> ANYWAYS! this is a really REALLY good short film!
I'm glad you liked it! And things will get better!
Alright! I know its a long journey but everyone can get through it
This was really helpful.
OMG!! That Paramore shirt!!
Guys typically don't wear leggings. If one did however that'd be totally fine.
I like your username
I'm a transguy pre-t and not out to many yet... I wear leggings still, because it's comfy, and it's not like I leave my house often anyway hahah cx
😂😂
This hit close to home considering- My chosen name is Jacson (Jason) and I dress and look pretty similar to Jason in the film... Damn...
Transgenders isn't a word
It's transgender people.
that was the point! it was something the bully said to make fun of him.
Love the Video. Keep making them!
This short film is really cute :> and sensitive
Is his name Justin or Jason 😭 I need answers
That Detroit Redwings hoodie. Awesomeeeee
MCR YAAAAS

Haha I woulda added a winky face to my locker after the freak. Only way to nonviolently combat bullies is embrace there antics!

Tyler is a potato Make Sure Your 100% Ready
Random Syd
Thank you
I want to make a video like this while I'm quarentined, but im an only child (I'd have to do it alone 100%). Any ideas?
Focus on the personalities of each character. If you're doing all the acting, you have to make it believable that they are separate people (voices, attitudes, etc.)
PARAMORE AND MCR SHIRT PEOPLE ARE THE NICE PEOPLE IN THIS
The blonde girl has an awesome my chem shirt
Nice I liked that xD It was good
song names?
I'm shocked at the statistics at the end. At my school only three friends know I'm actually male and they didn't bully me. It did come as a shock because we're in an all girls school but they accepted me.
Detroit... Gosh Michiganders are harsh, I know from experience... Nice video.
Madison Johnson We're not harsh. We're actually pretty awesome as long as you meet people in the right area, diffidently in Detroit youre going to meet harsh people, but I'm from GR people are nice down here. Certain people at least. Aha.
Ya it kinda depends doesnt it.
Is this the Doors? If so, yaaaasss
how do I come out to my mom and boyfriend that I want to be trans?
Just tell them how you feel because if you don't tell them then you not true to yourself. Don't hide what you feel just be yourself if they're transphobic then tell them fuck off this is real me. You can't hide how you are if your honest to your mum and your boyfriend. How can you be honest to yourself?
A Strange Girls Life, you can't tell your parents that you want to be Transgender, it's not a choice.
someone please TELL ME THE SONGS THEY PLAY QnQ
All of the songs are listed in the credits :) thank you for watching and i'm glad you liked it!

I thought the drawing on the paper at 0:25 was for billie eilish but this came out 6 years ago-
I love this video
I get beat up every day and shown flashing lights to give me seizures and have rocks thrown at me. I've been drunk 4 ish times at school and have smoked and cut to try to deal with it. It never works...

This Is sick!

I went to a school called eisenhower as well
paramore
MAKE THAT 700,000 AND 1!

Music taste though
I completely cringed when shorty kept saying "transgenders" and Detroit repping gang gang 🔥🤘
yeah, it was a rushed project, we didnt have time to do much reshooting so we had what footage we had lmaooo
i like the band shirts
At 3:28 both of their shirts are awesome
Wait 3:05 not 3:28
yess. the doorssss
0:50 oohhh boi you just got roasted f transphobes
Those MCR and Paramore shirts tho...
I disagree with transgender but i hate it when people are made fun of.
As a male to female transgender, i disagree with *you.*
But i thought being trans was only affecting males.
no 3/4 of transgender people are trans men witch means they were born female and identify as male
wow thats odd im a ftm trans and my name is jason too
Oh shit
He doesn't even try to pass....wear a binder..???
Not passing doesn't mean you're invalid :)
@@jwalter9926 I know, but you'd still try your darnest to pass..
@@NatjelovesBillk maybe, but mzny trans people dont have the resources, especially when young. Not to mention judgment from family might be an issue as well. Using things as are binders that aren't meant for it, or even wesring a binder improperly can cause problems.

My chemical romance and paramore
I just wish people could be normal.
Gullbra Kisa It's probably not a good idea to worry too much about what people accept.
Gullbra Kisa Keeping a person from enslaving another is one thing. Making that person be nice is another.
Gullbra Kisa Are the transgender people who have banned drag queens from gay parades and demonstrations bigots? Maybe they get a pass. Is drag a form of expression that crosses the line when it comes to freedom of speech? I guess drag must be considered silly and stupid or something. Who gets to decide that drag is a stupid and harmful form of speech?
I wonder how you might feel about animal activists calling meat eaters murderers. Is that OK? The vast majority of people wouldn't consider eating meat murder. Is that stupid and harmful speech?
Who gets to decide?

Societies have tried that and I can't think of any instance where it's worked out very well.

This may be a weird thing to comment..but american school seem so...empty
Stop looking up and down
No :)
My names leslee but I like Les better :)
