@@danielpearse9875 are you from down under? Also stay strong man don't let those people get you down, but the thing is you have to show them you won't let them get you down ignoring them won't fully solve the problem.
Basically the message is "kids, take care of each other, bc school won't do shit for you" and like, yeah that's true, I've haven't had a teacher that genuinely cares about me since I was in 3rd grade and it sucks
Yeah I feel that, in my school a kid bullied me and the teachers didn’t do anything because his parents where rich and the contributed with school money.
Kids like that get really entitled. “Oh am I really the problem because I called that kid ugly and worthless? Am I the bad person or is it you for getting me in trouble because you called me on it? Why cause a commotion?” The longer they are allowed to get away with it, the worse adults they become. At least until everyone around them grows up and realizes they don’t have to deal with their crap.
But I mean that tiktok generation I call I mean I was born in 2006 and use tt but just that rat always annoys me like sorry rats are hella smart animals more organised than us humans so like.
@@shirabe64 I hate that many times those kids have parents who think they're angels, and refuse to believe that their child could ever do something like that
me and my friend call each other rats as a joke because a youtuber we both like likes to call us fans rats as a joke of course but my mom said it's not nice like we both are in the joke and none of us get offended by it, is it that bad?
High school is such a fish bowl, a lot of the time bullies won’t even realize what they’re really doing (or at the very least, the full extent of it) because they have these images of stereotypical shoving kids in lockers or “gimme your lunch money” scenarios when they think of bullying. Showing the role social media has in bullying is so crucial nowadays
Yes those stereotypes from movies, cartoons, and other media give off these perceptions or impressions of how bullying is and they're misguided by those bad examples. Even with Social Media bullying is getting worse but also getting more attention or awareness. Personally I feel like the parents are accountable for this to a certain degree by failing to supervise and discipline their kids/teens behavior teaching them from right and wrong.
I don't think it's that they don't realize that it's bullying. At least in my experience, it's just that these people don't care and they think your reactions (or lack there of) are funny. I will say that I agree people don't see it as seriously if you're not getting physically abused and you're seen as 'sensitive' and whatever when these kids emotionally and/or mentally abuse you. I don't think people recognize that bullying is just a nicer word for abuse.
Honestly I feel like the simple thing to do is actually block these people. Why do people care so much about what is being said online. I literally have people on my insta posts calling me ugly and putting obscene comments, I block them. The internet is such a wide place that you can block these people and your life will be do much freer.
@@HotCheetoGirl_ not always works that way. What would you do for example if photos and insults were spread all over the internet? To everyone you know, rather than in a DM
eh thats depending on the situation tho if there just talking smack ignore them if they put there hands on u then thats a different matter all together
I suffer "silence rat bully" what is that?, when they just dont do something in front of your eyes and always do stuff in yoir back, i get rid of them just confront and said "if u have something to tell me, just said it", then they stop but i they tried getting close and then, just block them in real life, ignore them. In all the way of their existing, and they hate that, but yeah, ignore is the last step in bullying proteccion
It’s sadly one of the tactics bullies use. If you defend the bullied kid, you get bullied too. It makes it so no one ever comes to your rescue and more people join in. Absolutely sucks.
@@buttercracker6235 Aw jeez. I wasn’t expecting anyone to ask. I’m doing much better now that I’m out of the toxic environment that is grade school. Thanks for asking tho ^^
@@buttercracker6235 Yes, I am okay. I thankfully have two very kind friends now. Thanks again for the kind words and thoughtfulness. I hope you’re doing alright and feel the love to. :)
@Im Everywhere dude I am already at the point where I watch tv and wonder why nobody is wearing a mask. I wish I was still at your part of the experience.
I mean how would that not have helped- if it had only been cyberbullying? The only reason it won't solve anything for her is because it isn't just cyberbullying, it's also real people in her surroundings. In a case of random people you don't know/ who are far away from you cyberbullying, block will get rid of it. As long as it's only cyber bullying and no irl bullying, block would help.
Blocking does help though, they literally feed on your reactions. So much of this is because we're so addicted to technology, detach from your phone and get rid of social media.
@@Wizz18822i Know insane People that goes to the point of creating New accounts just to kee the bullyng , "just blocking them" wont work, and even if you quit social media they can say thing that can be hurtfull irl, and sorry for the bad orthografy i Still learning english
The worst type of bullies are the ones that can recognize other's mistakes and faults but can't recognize their's. They'd watch a movie and when they see the bad guy they boo, they call them an asshole. But when they do the same thing and they get called out for it, they make excuses.
There was a girl who absolutely hated me because I was friends with her best friend too, she was one of those rich girls that invited the entire grade to parties, except people she didn't like. I was one of those people. This was all going on in primary, but near the end people started seeing how badly she treated other people and wouldn't put up with her for the benefits of being her friend, so she lost her friends and came crawling to me for help. For a while she couldn't understand why people left her, and I had to explain to her that she was a bully.
@@MonochromaticBananaBread God that's... pretty scary. How does one have the mindset of being so self-centered and not wondering if something is your fault if people see you as a bad friend I'm glad the girl cares about friends and wants to have them again rather than staying in her own bubble of being the innocent one and not wanting to change
Yeah, my teachers would blame me for defending myself, like when some kids went tot step on me, so I kicked them a way and then I got in trouble. Tell me if that makes sense.
And not getting let in enough to know the whole story. I know I was almost never secure enough to feel it was safe to share everything. Mostly because there were moments on my part I was sure I'd get in trouble for myself.
When I was a kid I had a lot of panic attacks because of bullying, one time I locked myself in the toilets to be alone and then I heard a girl come in and she was crying, doing the exact same thing as me. So I went outside the stall to check who it was and it was another girl from my class, we never really talked much but this time we talked to each over and we told each over everything and even though that was only one short conversation it has been the best one of my life.
This is probably the most realistic version of school bullying I have ever seen. The awkward silence, the teacher’s inability to do much but then realising that words can really help and the dad’s response/reactions even though he means well, everything is almost 100% on point
I'm called a snitch by kids at my school when I tell on them for stuff they called me just last week a kid said I had the body of a garden gnome I'm trying very hard not to cry while typing this cause I feel very insecure about my body
@@The_Official_Goblin don’t listen to those literal cavemen. Ur beautiful. And you are loved. Life is hard and it sucks theres people like them. But try to get. Through it💜💜
I was called a snitch just for telling the teacher a kid had his phone out in class. I went to a charter school up to the 6th grade so phones weren’t allowed at all. They’ve been calling me a snitch to this day. Sometimes I feel like nobody’s listening to me, they just say “We’ll take care of it” and nothing happens. I tried telling my dad and he just tells me “You have a good life, why are you so depressed! You know when I was a kid yadda yadda yadda!” I’m not belittling my dads past, he’s been through a lot but you still shouldn’t belittle what someone is going through just because it’s not as bad as what you went through.
The fact that the "goo" that grows in each person's room, that they are trapped in their own ideas, is what scares the most, since the idea of "drowning" in ideas would be like giving up everything, and ending everything , if you understand me..
I do understand that😢. I was bullied throughout my school years. I have been bullied all the way from elementary school all the way up until my last year in high school. In total, 13 years of bullying. 10 of those I hated myself and the world around me. I felt like I didn't matter! The last 3 years of school(basically high school), I was done being the victim. I stood up to my high school bullies, and showed them, "You can try and break me, but I'm a freaking diamond!" Plus the fact that they used the exact same words as my elementary and middle school bullies used, like they followed a freaking script📑 I can't tell you how many times I was called stupid, ugly and weird. Nowadays, I use those words, but in a positive way. Stupid? I never claimed to be a genius. Ugly? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Weird? I AM WEIRD😜, and I wouldn't change it! I love being different!
I was a victim of sexual harassment and know how this feel, I was pressured into going to some school trip and I was gonna be alone with those who harassed me, I said no but the teachers would put me on it without my consent if i didnt have a reason and in the end admitted to them what was happening, i thought i was gonna get help but instead they made me shut my mouth and there was no actions taken, so i told my parents and my father blamed me for it for being a soft guy, so in the end I got hurt more.
@@zommomomo8963 almost the same thing happened to me when I went to camp keep. I got forced into touching his...yk on the way home because they wouldn’t let me sit with anyone else.
One of the most diabolical experiences I’ve had as a guy who got bullied for a handful of years was 1) refusing to retaliate on my enemies out of sincere compassion for them and 2) them making me feel like I’m a worse threat that either deserves to be bullied or doesn’t know what they’re doing. I took on a spiel of childhood trauma that I underestimated for nearly a decade, including some conflict in college and even in recent where I’m highly misunderstood for my situation. Sometimes I tried to reach out but I would be so blind and confused as to my idea of asking for help that I ended up hurting other peoples feelings as if I myself were taking advantage of them, again misunderstood. I don’t have any regrets to this day concerning how lucky I am today, but amongst things like how depressed I was for years I have a few notions for those in my shoes no matter the age: 1) don’t be ashamed for having a slower paced life than others. I’m sure no one wants to be left behind, but you will cultivate way more healthily if you are accepting of where you are right now. 2) you do have time. You will be surprised how many open doors come to those who prepare for them, I’d imagine the people who typically don’t feel guilt from their day to day situations but can still feel empathy for others are the ones that deserve to unfold the opportunities. 3) let life show you the potential. I’ve always believed there was a reason i belonged on this earth no matter how deep in the hole I got or how pathetic I felt that I would never want to offer value if no one knew of my tragedy. No one should ever feel like they have to contribute something back at the expense of their own well being and connection. Anyways I’m very grateful for the casual yet creative approach of this short film. Maybe the arts really are an outlet for emotional drive and context that’s not recognized well enough these days. Feel free to reach out to me for anything, I’m more patient beyond belief and still work on my self compassion every day! Much love whether you are safe, struggling or out of the flames but still hope for things to make sense the way they can, and will. Don’t be afraid, always try something positive you’ve been in thought of and don’t ever give up.
It sucks how this becomes very apparent once high school kicks in. Counseling didn't help, antidepressants didn't help, I was at that point where I just had to get the rest of the years over with just so I could get out of what I called a prison.
The worst thing is that bullies forget what they did. They'll never realise what how awful they were and they'll never apologise because in their eyes they were angels.
@@indiecrowarts in elementary school I wasn't a bully, but a couple of my friends were and I did nothing about it (I wouldn't laugh or sth, but I saw and did nothing). I never got to say sorry to the kids that were made fun of, and I'm not friends with the bullies anymore. It must have been so hard to you and difficult to see how little they cared about sth that made such huge impact on your life. I'm sorry for what you had to pass through, and you're very strong for being able to let go such thing. Now I'm in highschool and ofc I always speak up about bullying and try to help, but it's not like it covers how I neglected this type of thing as a kid. I hope you're doing well *hands you a flower*
That made me hate bullies, and if they dare to open their mouths against me or friends, now same sex couple or even to innocent unknown ppl i just turn so different Like, i pass to emotionless towards bullies and all empathy dissapears,anger and vengeance,i don't feel pity,idc if they end bad or good,idc and if they have issues,idc if they later will regret or not. I just don't care ab anything when it's talking ab them. Because the fact they can't understand they did wrong I heard ab my old bullies nowadays life and they still harass, annoy, bully If it's not to me They do towards others My ex was so annoying to me and said crap to me Since i broke up with him, he now annoys other ppl with his words. He doesn't care. If it's not me, will be another one. If they victim is not X, will be Y. They don't care ab anything, anyone or else. They don't learn the lesson, think and change to be better persons They just "care" for a while but then turns back to "normal" as always. They need to bully,annoy, disrepect,discriminate And it's so Fuckin' disgusting,they find AMUSEMENT in that. I hate a lot of things but don't discriminate or bully bc of it! It's easier to be polite, respect and have a conversation,if the thing i hate is harmless and it's just a subjective disliking and not a trait that is actually harmful or annoying objectively. Sh*t that they can't understand I still remember their sadistic laughing faces/look on them when bullying me or others. The fact that was as a hierarchy They were in the top And you all down there in darkness That if u dared to tace them,they would go against you The fact there was nice ppl too but didn't hang out with you because fear of being bullied,or they were bullied as well. The fact they control the place How i told teachers,my mom tried everything,but shit kept going on, bullying never ended, bullying still happened,i was maybe even bullied on public or alone and teachers never moved a finger to help me neither did classmates How they're supposed to be forgiven? How can ppl ask me to forgive,if they keep being not pure? How can my bsf tell me to move on,when he didn't experienced half the shit i did? Even i told him everything and even the how they did things to me? So i just stay away from them and not have any kind of relationship,bc for me,they are not humans. Neither animals. Would be disrespectful to compare animals to those things. Lately i knew ab my friend(girl) being bullied because she couldn't attend her bf bc final college exams. His friends(21 or above,while she being only 18) harassed her. Insulted/disrepect her. Made comments bc of that,social media,in hanging outs. Fake parties,ended in a crack hole and getting wasted,and she being scared. Indirects ab how she was a bad gf towards their friend. The same ones who went homophobic towards me or my gay friend,the ones who said disgusting things to my mate with eating disorder ab her body The ones who insulted us in quarantine while playing videogames The ones who made scenes or victimist role and being so annoying Those who were male chauvinist too. The same guys. They didn't change. They're still the same The ones who expect u to get wasted on discos or whatever or you're not cool, you're a freak and should commit OOF The trouble makers ALWAYS talking ab topics in disrespectful and disgusting ways,instead of good manners ones.
It’s sad that this is pretty realistic. If someone tried to help someone who gets bullied, they get bullied themselves. Then there’s the kids who bully other kids, but when the kid commits suicide they suddenly pull a whole 180 and go “this is so sad RIP, they didn’t deserve this 😭😭😭.” People are so shitty
There was this girl who always said at assemblies “I would stand up for them no one deserves to get bullied.” However she bullied my friend constantly and now my friend is going to therapy because of it
Wow, what a hypocrite. So sorry that happened. Hope things get better for your friend and continue to get the help they need. Hope things are good on your end too.
I feel like I would be that girl. Not because I bully my friends, but because I have a dark humor that I'm still trying to control, yet it still counts as bully. This would be my advice from personal experience: tell them to stop. If they say sorry and stop (maybe to the point they struggle to say hi), they just have acid humor. If they don't, they're assholes.
Yeah, I knew a girl like that too. It was back in middle school, she was quite literally the leader of my bullies, and during the "bullying bad" moments in class, she always pretended that she'd be that one hero who would be the one standing up to bullies, when she was one herself.
@@rosavillanueva5189 You are a very noble person, very few people acknowledge their flaws and try to improve them. Coming from a person with a thousand flaws, kudos to you.
I like how the purple thing represents how alone and bad feel every body when someone only wants to annoy us and make our self feel bad or stupid but with a little of help we can feel better.
I really like how they used the purple goo as a metaphor for being overwhelmed with stress that could led to them to drown in that stress which is obviously suicide
why does everyone write "no"? It probably hasn't happened to you, but that doesn't mean it's not difficult to answer "are you okay?" for those who did go through something.
I recently reported sexual harassment. It was a fairly popular kid who did it and since then me and my friend, who I reported it with have experienced this sort of thing but not as bad as in this film
we don't even snitch anymore in highschool. like we just don't care lol. but i remember back in kindergarten or first grade, there's always that one kid who would pretend to snitch on someone but they just ask the teacher if they could go to the bathroom. it's ridiculous and a great anxiety booster.
As someone that got bullied for over 10 years, I never was the quiet one, I was "the outsider". They called me freak, ugly, fat, really bad words of all kind, volcano...anything. I always got angry and shouted back. The teachers always heard me and thought I was the problem... After a while, I thought that too.. I had su!cidal thoughts but I didn't want to be even more painful for my family, who's amazing. On May 2022, a light came into my life, a new girl, a miracle, she was as lonely as me and we got on well from the start. We became our torch in all that darkness. We became best friends and, on March 2023, we met a guy from another school and we became "the outsiders trio". We all slowly became less and less sad and on September, we all got in high school, in different classes, yes, but closer that I could ever wish for. I met two girls like us on my new class and now we are "The freaktastic five plus one" (We know the name is cringe but we don't care anymore). Btw I'm 15 and I'm sorry if there are mistakes, english isn't my first language. Edit after four months: Well hi again, thank you for all the sweet comments! Me and that new girl grew apart, she became really friends with one of the two new girls I introduced her to. After two years of friendship she's like dead to me, again, I lost my best friend and my new friend as well. We're not the freaktastic five anymore, sorry for the sad ending to my story but it's real life. I am sad but not too much. I am grateful for my boy best friend and my female best friend, the third one, the other 'new girl' even though it's been nine months already, school ends this week. We are a trio again, the uncool trio, a lot changed but I can answer the question "are you okay?" with a smile on my face, "yes, I'm good, what about you?" and I'm not faking it. You might think I'm either crazy or this is all made up at this point but I'll say to you that the only reason I'm still here and I'm happy through difficulties is Jesus. He delivered me from bullying and from my anger issues and He saved me.
I'm sorry, but The Freaktastic Five plus 1 is a GREAT group name! It sounds like your crew is helping you foster the good out of life, and I'm so happy for you.💕
this is literally so sweet. i love that even though you were hated on by everyone else, you still stuck together. i'm still waiting to find my little crew lol, but i'm happy for you! :)
that purple liquid may symbolize all the self-loath and negative feelings they have. And when the boy drowns in all these he's possibly considering suicide then a single message of concern made him got out of it
I hate this bc it’s so realistic, schools say they take it really serious but do absolutely nothing. For example- in class I literally get made fun of and get called slurs right in front of teachers and no one cares
One of my teachers let the popular kids that bribe the principal mock my name with me present in class. Almost nobody takes me serious at school and most of my teachers hate me and refuse to use the name I feel most comfortable with even tho I told them countless times So yeah...
Bullying isnt calling people names thats just normal words dont mean anything and if u dont like it just say ull shoot up the skl like as a joke or beat one of em up or start calling them back names cuz bullying is being bet up and robbed or like in class the hallways lovker room thats bullying ik u American liberels are to soft and sesintive to here jokes or be called names but im just happy people arnt brain washed where i come from

Saying stop might actually make the bullies worse, like they'll hurt you more because they can see how much fun it is to hurt someone who shouldn't be hurt.
Everyone’s talking about the school. Talk about the father. “Your lucky. You can just block em. Case closed.” That hit me so hard, since my Parents say the same thing. They don’t help, they just say I’m overreacting and just block them. It isn’t that easy.
Yeah ;-; don’t they know there’s other kids at school who use social media? There’s a chance your cyber bully could be attending the same school as you, and even bullies you irl
I remember one time my dad picked on me and I got flashbacks of when I was kid, I got picked on and the kids would yell and force me to look away because they don't want me to look at them. I started crying at that age and it still bought me into tears now. The old man despites me crying for no reason. He just hates me and my mom cry because he assume its something small or 'stupid.' He tells me to just laugh it off and some other stupid shit. He doesn't know that I've been picked on for my weight or becuase I had no friends and was the quiet kid.
I'm really glad this video showed it in a realistic light - sometime parents or guidance councilors don't understand, or can't fix the problem. They didn't give us the generic "Tell and adult" speech, they showed us how supporting each other can help, even when adults fail to do so. Really amazing video!
I remember reading a book that said something like: "when you see a kid, don't ask him how he/she is, ask him/her what they feel" I think it makes more sense in spanish (the book was in spanish, i'm hispanic)
“Hurting someone’s feelings is like throwing a rock in the ocean. But how far do you think that rock Goes?” Meaning: If you hurt someone’s feelings you won’t know how hard it will effect there feelings. Treat others the way you wanna be treated.
I'm so tired of parents saying "just ignore them" "you can just block them" It isn't that easy! Edit: Guys I posted this like years ago and dude... past me was cringe 😭
Hey there, that's really sweet, understanding and thoughtful of you to say that and you're a really good and amazing person and people really need to be kinder to each other, kind people like you make this world a better place. I hope you have an amazing day and take care
And for others it can ruin it. Depends how they say stuff like if it’s genuine then i acc feel so much better, but if it’s that fake ass sickly sweet shit then i get so angry but I can’t just say it to their faces. Smh.
I don’t understand how this is still going on... The people who are “against bullying” are the very same people who bully, and the people who actually stand up for the bullied get bullied back
Schools: *"If you get bullied, don't be afraid to tell us. We will take matters into our hands and we treat it seriously."* Also schools whenever someone gets bullied: *"Well that sounds like a "you" problem."*
I really liked the use of the purple goo as a representation of depression. I don't know about everyone else, but when I was bullied as a kid that's kind of what it felt like. Like I was weighed down by some unseen substance, and said substance making the words stick longer.
@•*The Rainbow Closet*• Same with me at first, until I saw the paper hit him without anything on it and the bully recording the guy in the beginning and saw there was none on him then. Plagued internally and spreading outward. 😞
yeah its nice as symbolism but honestly thats not how it felt to me because everything was internal. nobody called me anything nobody hit me. they just kinda picked on me and they didnt play with me, nobody wanted to be my friend. they werent openly insulting they just didnt like me as much. to me it feels like dust and sand that just builds up inside and gets everywhere and you dont notice it you just feel it but you cant see it you cant see the piles just feel the tiny grains everywhere that amount to a great big nothing. nothing to report nothing to tell nothing there.
Basically the moral of the story: Always help others when they're being bullied. And if the bullies are after you too, comfort the other person who is being bullied.
i got bullied since I was 3-4 years old (im now 15). 2 years ago I foud my best friend that didn't got bullied for a long time like me but he got beat up allot in his old school. When we found each other we almost immediately understood us and became friends, I helped him overcome his depression and now we are both very happy. Our schools did nothing to help us.
I feel like the "kill myself" scene really means a lot and should be spoken about more, he wasn't just symbolically drowning in sorrow, he was literally being consumed by depression and contemplating suicide, the scene has a lot of meanings when you delve into it
The teacher is so real. “Why do the quiet ones always get picked on?”. This animated clip makes me think, as long as you’ve got one singular person in the world that cares about you, then you shouldn’t commit. I loved this sm I’m actually gonna cry
Taking your life because of egotistic maniacs that are deep down mentally unstable (bullies) is a terrible way to go out. Like I wanna live to 85 and have a happy life.
It does suck.. I stopped talking to someone because my "friends" would get upset or mad at me if I did. I wish I talked to them now. I want to apologize but I'm not sure what to say, how to bring it up, when to say it, and chances are we won't even be in the same class anymore. It's going to be a new year of school pretty soon. The only way I would be able to talk to them is if we were in the same class. Because I'm a pathetic wimp who makes stupid decisions and is too stupid to fix their mistakes afterwords. I'm glad there are people who have the bravery to talk to others and fix stuff though. :)
@@alexmazino8988 I do usually. But eventually that one part of my brain that doesn't work properly says "Hey! Let's go do something stupid to be kind! Even if we get flipping murdered! :D "
"Its just a joke" Fine, I can believe that argument, but if I wasnt laughing, shouldnt you be concerned in apologizing, or did I really have to yell "shut the fuck up?" Do you happen to be blind or you just dont care?
The sad fact is we live in a society where they can't be punished for the behavior due to the fact that online bullying literally gives them freedom to attack without laying a finger on the victim.
@@childofolivares8754 I remember when I was bullied. Until one of them actually tried to physically beat me for talking to a girl they claimed as theirs. Having a dad who is a vet does wonders on your ability to defend yourself. Of course this would be a month after Columbine so you can guess how the school took it when i beat a bully who was physically stronger and taller than me. Don't know what was worse. The fact they threatened to expel me or chewing out my dad for teaching me to fight back despite the fact he and I had told the school several times about the bullying
Absolutely!!! If it were someone doing it to their spouse we would call it abuse and treat it as the incredibly traumatizing thing that it is... but with kids, it's just bullying.
Everyone including teachers were toxic at my old highschool and they both wanted to be close for some reason. The teachers would give anything to the bullies. Even other students personal information. It was messed up
i can never understand bullies. like why bully? what is so wrong in your life that you have to take someone elses? As they said, what comes around, goes around. Bullies should fear what they have in their future if all they do is pick on people
as a person who almost became one, you just don’t know what you do in life and your just bored, you just can’t get fun out of anything anymore, it’s a last resort for people, some bullies got bullied in their childhood and chose to be one instead.
at my school everyone has this twisted definition of bully in their brains that is: "a bully is someone who beats you up" or "being a bully is knocking someone's teeth out" but the actual definition of bully is "someone who often hurts people physically, mentally or socially." and its so frustrating. (edit: i didnt expect this many likes! thanks so much!)
Yeah, I've been constantly bullied and even told that what they do to me is bullying but every time they get confronted they say they aren't even bullying and that it's just fun to pick fun out of people
@@cheez1012 I mean yes and no. if you do it all the way through school then you can choose who to hang out with. If a friend is being toxic then you don't have to talk to them, and you won't see them all the time.
as a former victim of bullying I litterally cried. You hope that someone notices and cares about you and most times you have to realise that no one cares as long it does not affect them.
please remember that calling someone out for bullying (or any other form of harrassment) doesn't make you a snitch/goody-two-shoes or whatever the fuck kind of excuse or name they'll make up, it means you're brave enough to stand up for yourself/someone else and that you are spreading awareness
I’m not gonna lie, I use the word snitch. But it definitely shouldn’t be used for someone trying to stop bullying. A better use of the word is when your sibling rats you out for taking a cookie, or when your talking to a friend during class and some kid yells to the teacher about it. To end my statement, bully’s can eat crap.
i agree, instead it can be the opposite, social media can be used as a escapism mecanism, and then lead to depression. also the exposure we have on social media, internet is huge and it can cause tons of problems, such as getting information too early on the age rage.
.. my dad knew that teachers wouldn't do anything so he told me if I ever got bullied that I should punch them in the nose. I never got bullied because I always acted tough but if I did and I punched them I don't think the court case would go very far .
The sad thing is most adults say “Tell someone if your being bullied” but yet when you seek help they tell you it’s nothing. Yooo 3k likes tysm! Also to anyone who’s been bullied, hang in there. Being bullied sucks but it will get better!! (• ◡•)
Yes! Me and my siblings were getting bullied by this family of 3 kids whom I will not name because I respect their privacy. But they had asseblies at my school about bulling but when I went to tell someone about it they were like "Okay we'll do something" Nothing happened. One day I ended up flipping of the younger kid and his sister the next day turned around and looked at me on the bus to school and said "We looked at the cameras yesterday and we saw you flip off my brother 7 times. He was crying" It pissed me off beyond my point and everything in me broke. They called me a fat b*tch saying that I went to different things because I was fat. Like okay Im not the skinniest person here but you don't have to point that out. When I first met her, the sister, I thought we were friends but it was a very toxic relationship for me. She said she despised me and when I confronted her the next day about it she said "I may have said i didn't LIKE you but I never said despised." GIRL I FREAKING CRIED THE REST OF THE WAY HOME FROM WHAT YOU SAID!! Anyway, they (school administration) Never EVER helped us with this. I'm not saying there aren't people who will help you because there are lots of people out there who can help you!! You just need to find the right people who are willing to listen and help you, and if the person you're talking to won't listen then just leave and find someone you know will listen.
"Are you OK?" "No." "Why?" "Because of the bullying and my parent having the terminal illness which might kill them an-" "Oh that's just you wanting attention. You're lying." And then they (Maybe?) wondered why the quiet kid went deathly silent. Doesn't help when students AND teachers/assistants are telling me I'm lying and making excuses for things. And THEN the teachers have the audacity to yell at me for not coming to them for help, when I did and they shut me down, and for Not Interacting With Others. The others that hate me? Gee I wonder why(?).
As I've grown older, I've realised that cruelty is weak, and kindness is strong. It takes a crowd of cruel people to break you but it takes just one kind person to save you. That's why cruel people always target the most vulnerable and weak people, or they will work in a crowd. But kind people will give their kindness to everybody, and do it alone. Be the kind person :)
ok but in my opinion if their under seven or so fine they really wouldn’t understand what their doing is horrible but at THEIR AGE thats straight up harassment
something i really appreciate about this animation is that they actually talk about why people get bullied. so often in PSAs it's just "oh they're quiet" or some vague bullshit, but we all know most of bullying comes from prejudice; whether about weight, sexual orientation, or race.
Or from being someone who either isn’t popular or “cool” or someone who tries to help others and gets in the way. You know, the “rat.” So to speak. Noah was bullied for being an awkward, unpopular “Ogre.” kind of kid. And Raquelle was bullied for trying to help him out and got in the way of the bullies so they turned on her for getting in their way.
Oftentimes, "quiet" people getting bullied stems from prejudice too. I have autism, which makes me "quiet" and anxious, which makes me a target for bullying. Ableism. Anything out of the "norm" becomes a target.
@@Rollie-4DaPollie Right, for starters, victims of bullying usually don't get to have a "happy ending" as the epilogue of this short would make it seem. They either learn to tough it out or run away, somehow. This is mainly for two reasons, the first one is that bullied people very soon become emotionally "damaged" and they are not great or fun people to be around. While from the outside they might look like the victims, they're seething with rage, pain and hormones so lashing out at the earliest chance is not uncommon. In the short it's kinda surprising how the overweight kid didn't develop romantic feelings for the girl almost right away, bullying develops a sort of Stockholm syndrome on the victims so any show of kindness or non-aggression to them can make their emotions go from 0 to 100 very quickly. The second, related, reason is that people who don't like bullying, in general, normally prefer to stay away from the bullied. I imagine it's somewhat similar to the subconscious aversion you have for the sick. Maybe it's an evolutionary thing. In my opinion, a more accurate depiction of bullying would show a more isolated, angry (not sad, ANGRY) and emotionally damaged victim with almost complete lack of social interaction. Sprinkle in some instances of Stockholm syndrome (like I mentioned before) and there you go. For the epilogue, you show the victim either having a complete mental collapse or learning to live with their trauma.
This happened four years ago. I was bullied from 4th grade all the way up to my senior year of high school. Schools constantly told my parents that these kids will grow up someday and they never did. One day I finally had enough and I kicked the ass of the tormentor from my childhood. And I’m the one who gets suspended it shows you how corrupt the system is.
Can really understand just that it was all verbal but the teacher think I took it too far when I just speak back and asked them to shut up ,and that I should had ignore things ,they talk to me ,try to convince me it was my fault when I just trying to get people to stop.
Did the same thing more or less. Threw the fucker through a desk or two. I was fine when they picked on me but they fucjed up when they went after my friends
I’m glad that the bullying portrayed isn’t just “oh you’re so fat” “she’s not cool” “he’s a nerd” and it actually shows how far things go such as that one person saying “lol I’d kill myself”
The person who said that in this short film is just cruel.S**cide isn’t something to throw around as some insult or saying something like “lol I’d (unalive) myself” just straight up without maybe asking if those jokes make someone uncomfortable or even if they’d thought about (unalive)ing themselves.People shouldn’t just throw s**cide around as some joke
@@silliest-astro Thanks for the reply.I really hope more people see this short story and learn from it.People shouldn’t throw that kind of thing around as some sort of joke.Tysm for understanding
honey remember you are never alone, it may feel like it, it might feel liek youa re alone in the dark, but there are hundreds around you and even if no one else is wanting to hold a hand out remember this i am your friend, i dont know you, but that doesnt change that i am your friend :)
@@ironman98 Yeah.. i remember a few years ago when i had a boy in my class who was bullied, and i tried to do everything to stop it because i was so frustrated, but since i had no friends and was the only one to step in, nothing happened. The popular girls in the class just watched when the guys bullied him, and i heard them say to each other that someone had to do something, but since they were friends with those guys who bullied him they just stood there and looked dumb. I remember I ran after the bullies and screamed at them to stop but it was like they didn't even hear me. It's just so shitty how people can see bullying happen with their own eyes and still do nothing about it.
Notice how the other kids started avoiding her? The tactic of the people at the top is to keep their victims isolated, so that they have power over them, if the victim talks back then it’s just one person that they laugh down as a group, along with their stupid insults, they seem clever with alot of sheeple, and other people have to isolate them or else they become victims themselves. This is why it’s important for victims to stick together, and it brings a whole new meaning to the saying “they only have power over you if you give it to them” you don’t need to just ignore them, you need outright to rebel.
@♡•Lizzyiuuu• ♡ sweetie you are such an angel, they’ll get what they deserve. They’re only mean to you because they’re insecure, keep focusing on school and don’t lose yourself being nice to them 💜
@♡•Miraculously Lizzyii• ♡ I was bullied years ago and it's my greatest regret that I never slapped at least one of those girls. If you don't change, the situation won't change. So if you can't stand it, don't ignore / stay kind, be creative and fight back your way (telling other people, screaming, faking a panic attack, throwing punches...). You may end up in trouble but you'll break the circle. I wish you the courage to do it!
In High School, my daughter felt rejected by her classmates...so her and another couple girls started including all those who they noticed that also felt like they didn't have friends and they started their own circle of friends. Their group ended up being a large group. She had more friend in the end than any of the "popular" kids. Support and kindness are healing.
Then, the victim committed suicide and the authorities say "Oh my, I am sorry about it. We tried our best to help." Then, they punish the bully with a few years in jail. But, is their sorry sincere or an automatic response?
What do you want them to do about it though? Besides giving lectures about online safety and anti-bullying, they genuinely can’t. They don’t own it. As someone who was bullied, I hate the whole argument of “I hate that no one does anything about what goes on online.” Like, there genuinely isn’t anything they can do.
@@ameliablack4587 Ok??? And what do you want to do about it? I haven’t seen anyone provide an actual solution to online bullying yet. The best thing you can do is block.
Well you gotta understand back then people would get beat to death physically by bullies. Nowadays you get beat to death mentally by bullies. Things have changed but not really. Bullies will always be Bullies.
My dad would fight off a crowd of demons if it made me feel better.. Some dads go through the same things and know hiw to handle.. others not so much..
Sorry for being late for 2 years but, this actually Portraits Cyber bullying and what really makes them feel The film was talking about how a girl gets bullied for standing up for the orange hair dude you see, but got pushed back in a result of bullied back. The purple goo actually resembles depression,sadness and anxiety. Which resembles of which the following cyber bullying.
Exactly! Another fact is that there are probably lots of kids out there who are kind and friendly that turn more reserved and harder in personality because they are bullied and nothing is done about it, as if the bullies and teachers are in an interconnected web of cruelty against victims.
As she said in the video though, it's hard to deal with cyber bullying because it's impossible to police the internet. If the account of the bully is private or anonymous then the school can't access their content, and even if you give them a detention it's not like you can make them delete their account
@@abhagupta41 -_- hmm well yes could be. but I don't think all of em end up that way. Anyway I hate bullies not because they like hurting others but because they can't mind their own business
Nah, when I was younger, teachers were the ones who bullied the kids, I thought it was a regular thing until I moved. The teachers always said that we were stupid and no point of teaching us, it only made us want to do better so they would stop saying that
Part of it sucks but part of it also feels good because you're finally letting out all of those bottled up emotions👍 But I totally get what your saying
@@arileerobinson8208 I approve. When Life gives you bullies, Ignore them if it's just all verbally. But if it's physically, talk with someone you trust and hide in a corner then tell him to video you while you're getting bullied in the spot.
I just always say I'm okay- what else am I meant to do? I don't want them to get upset by me saying no or crying. And I hate crying.. When someone asks me though I usually cheer up a little anyways! :)
unrelated but: if I fall or get hurt, and someone asks if I’m okay, I immediately start crying. Because when I was little my mom always said “you’re okay!” To cheer me up if I got hurt
"We take bullying very seriously" was the biggest lie we were ever told by the school system growing up. Addendum: I wasn't saying this to garner attention or internet clout, but I appreciate the likes and the fact that everyone has decided to weigh in on this topic. It's a cruel world out there, but I hope everyone makes it. You only have one life to live, so grow up big and strong and maybe one day we can all come together and make public schools safer places for our own children to learn.
To be honest teacher never do anything, at this point they make it seem worse. My teacher always targets me and even once said “Sofia’s chin is weird “ and started laughing. I know people are obviously feeling worse then me. But we have to stop bullying
Hey, another Sofia here with the same situation xD. But seriously, a teacher always paired me with the people that mocked me on group assignments just so that I, not them, could fix things. Even when i begged that i could do the work by myself and be comfortable.
@@sofiacaldo9291 I really hate teachers like that, hopefully this bullying will stop happening eventually. We need to stand up for ourselves and if the teachers don’t do anything just try ignoring them. If you make eye contact or look at them try to get away from them , I’m not good with advice but I have this is helpful.
@@puddenkat7049 Thanks for the advice!, i wish people could be more empathetic, the world could be so much better. I had to recomfort people that have made fun of me when they were done the same. I hope that your teachers have stopped being such jerks, and if not, i can only think that having someone that is cool with you could help you after these incidents and hear how you feel.
I have the strange feeling that, even though I become a teacher, I may let students feel the same way. I was bullied in school, but now that I am about to change roles, I get the sensation that sometimes teachers really don't see what is going on right in front their own eyes. Often times, it is not seen, sometimes teachers tend to play it down because "its just kids being kids" , some don't even care. But, which I might think is the biggest factor, some are just afraid they won't be of help, and therefore look away. I also can't shake of the feeling that, as hard as it may sound, there will always be that one student who gets picked on...It is just something that happens when power is not weighted out...Just hope you all are doing ok. One tip from me: surround yourself with friends and people who understand you, you feel more powerful in a group and maybe even the bullies won't pick up then...
I am honestly so lucky to have a school that actually CARES about bullies. There once was this kid in another class and he never really spoke out to the teachers, or really anyone. But one day, someone saw the kid getting bullied, went to the teacher and the teacher went to the principal. The principal continued to call their parents and the rest is history.
mine is completely different, i remember when i was in 3rd grade i was bullied so badly by my class mates and my classteacher/home room teacher joined them, no one even bothered to help me
I remember somebody asked me, "Are you okay?" Once i was at the time being severely bullied to the point I was even planning on not returning. (If you know what i mean. I'd rather not say it since small children watch this) But she saved my life. I miss her every day, and she's in a better place. 🕊 Thank you Sofia even if you didn't beat cancer, you helped me beat my depression.
I love the symbolism of the purple jelly. Like jelly, the hurtful words bullies say follow you around and cling to you until you can barely move. But when you find someone who cares and you can relate to and when you stick up for yourself and others, it's like your washing that jelly away and walking away clean.
Exactly. Don't rely on others to stop all your problems. The least a person can do is be there to support and comfort you. What a single person can do is limited.
I used to have a pretty big "savior's complex" mindset. When someone told me their problems, I would get up in arms, telling them they need to turn their life around, get a move on, that we could do this together, eliminate every single issue, go through every single legal process, etc. I didn't quite realize how toxic that was since really, I was just exhausting the conversation with all these things they weren't necessarily looking for. People often just want and need to be heard and someone to relate to. Not being alone makes all the difference - you can't fix things for them, only support them until they fix themselves.
Not all bullies are the same. Some are very manipulative. They can play the victim and paint you as the bully. They can get others to gang up on you. That’s the type of bully I had when I was in middle school.
One time in middle school I had enough and awaited my bully in the hallway during lunch break. Then when he came back from the toilet I smeared a sandwich through his hair. He went to our teacher to tell on me and the teacher said: “Floris would never do something like that without a good reason.” He had a strict word with him and I got away without any punishment. Being super talkative and positive to everyone made the teachers like me. :p
I really like the symbolism. Being bullied feels like you're in a pool where a liquid filled with negative emotions is slowly rising and, without the right help or guidance, you eventually drown and are unable to get out. What's worse is that, in cases like Noah's and Raquelle's, you choose to let yourself drown and be covered by it for a long time period.
And if you steep in that long enough it twists you i ways you cant even begin to understand and might take a long while to fully recover from. Sometimes it leaves you with emotional scars that will remain for the test of your life
@@Asterix_Angel33 there’s really a difference, i don’t believe they’re experiencing depression here since it’s a mental illness. I think they are feeling depressed but not exactly having depression.

@@danielpearse9875 are you from down under? Also stay strong man don't let those people get you down, but the thing is you have to show them you won't let them get you down ignoring them won't fully solve the problem.
Basically the message is "kids, take care of each other, bc school won't do shit for you" and like, yeah that's true, I've haven't had a teacher that genuinely cares about me since I was in 3rd grade and it sucks
Yeah I feel that, in my school a kid bullied me and the teachers didn’t do anything because his parents where rich and the contributed with school money.
yeah ive never seen a teacher that cares about students. basically all of them are there for a pay check and nothing else
Sometimes school does help not all of them are like this and maybe one of the teachers genuinely care about you don't just see all teachers as devils
You gotta at least try before judging them
I got verbal bullied in second grade after like a week when I joined the grade
Honestly a simple “are you ok” can mean a lot to a depressed person, cuz it shows them that at least someone cares
Coming from a depressed person, yeah. It really do means a lot
same here i agree
Yeah I struggle a lot with my attachments and whenever my bff asks me if I'm doing okay it just helps the liitle bit needed to het through the day
I swear this video made me cry and reading this comment nearly did as well
sometimes asking if someone is ok can also hurt them
"we take bullying serious" the only time you take it serious is when the victim fights back
*who ate all the meat?*
and then punish the victim then refuse to give a fuck about the bully.

@SHEIKAH So good to hear you have a happier life now 🤜🤛
The fact that people say “rat” and call people “snitches”
When they are literally in high school and not important at all.
Kids like that get really entitled. “Oh am I really the problem because I called that kid ugly and worthless? Am I the bad person or is it you for getting me in trouble because you called me on it? Why cause a commotion?” The longer they are allowed to get away with it, the worse adults they become. At least until everyone around them grows up and realizes they don’t have to deal with their crap.
@@shirabe64 lol they will also blame it on the administration and also say “it was just a joke”

@@shirabe64 I hate that many times those kids have parents who think they're angels, and refuse to believe that their child could ever do something like that

High school is such a fish bowl, a lot of the time bullies won’t even realize what they’re really doing (or at the very least, the full extent of it) because they have these images of stereotypical shoving kids in lockers or “gimme your lunch money” scenarios when they think of bullying. Showing the role social media has in bullying is so crucial nowadays
Yes those stereotypes from movies, cartoons, and other media give off these perceptions or impressions of how bullying is and they're misguided by those bad examples. Even with Social Media bullying is getting worse but also getting more attention or awareness. Personally I feel like the parents are accountable for this to a certain degree by failing to supervise and discipline their kids/teens behavior teaching them from right and wrong.
Well that was bullying, but like our grandmother and grandfather’s days. Bullying has change.
I don't think it's that they don't realize that it's bullying. At least in my experience, it's just that these people don't care and they think your reactions (or lack there of) are funny.
I will say that I agree people don't see it as seriously if you're not getting physically abused and you're seen as 'sensitive' and whatever when these kids emotionally and/or mentally abuse you.
I don't think people recognize that bullying is just a nicer word for abuse.
Honestly I feel like the simple thing to do is actually block these people. Why do people care so much about what is being said online. I literally have people on my insta posts calling me ugly and putting obscene comments, I block them. The internet is such a wide place that you can block these people and your life will be do much freer.
@@HotCheetoGirl_ not always works that way. What would you do for example if photos and insults were spread all over the internet? To everyone you know, rather than in a DM

You're never alone.
Yeah, that's the sad part.
It's always happening no matter where you are.
Human nature is fucked.
The worst advice you can get being bullied is "just ignore them"
I agree. I get so triggered when people try to be helpful, yet I know they just don't care.
eh thats depending on the situation tho if there just talking smack ignore them if they put there hands on u then thats a different matter all together
@Braden Nolan No mercy
I suffer "silence rat bully" what is that?, when they just dont do something in front of your eyes and always do stuff in yoir back, i get rid of them just confront and said "if u have something to tell me, just said it", then they stop but i they tried getting close and then, just block them in real life, ignore them. In all the way of their existing, and they hate that, but yeah, ignore is the last step in bullying proteccion
I can tell. My dad told me to ignore them, but my mom actually told me to kick their shit in, she even paid kung-fu and kick-boxing classes.
It’s sadly one of the tactics bullies use. If you defend the bullied kid, you get bullied too. It makes it so no one ever comes to your rescue and more people join in. Absolutely sucks.

The only reason it won't solve anything for her is because it isn't just cyberbullying, it's also real people in her surroundings.
In a case of random people you don't know/ who are far away from you cyberbullying, block will get rid of it.
As long as it's only cyber bullying and no irl bullying, block would help.
this is 100% true@@Stick_and_stone

The worst type of bullies are the ones that can recognize other's mistakes and faults but can't recognize their's. They'd watch a movie and when they see the bad guy they boo, they call them an asshole. But when they do the same thing and they get called out for it, they make excuses.
EXACTLY THIS
There was a girl who absolutely hated me because I was friends with her best friend too, she was one of those rich girls that invited the entire grade to parties, except people she didn't like. I was one of those people. This was all going on in primary, but near the end people started seeing how badly she treated other people and wouldn't put up with her for the benefits of being her friend, so she lost her friends and came crawling to me for help. For a while she couldn't understand why people left her, and I had to explain to her that she was a bully.
Sad twer.king
@@MonochromaticBananaBread God that's... pretty scary. How does one have the mindset of being so self-centered and not wondering if something is your fault if people see you as a bad friend

And not getting let in enough to know the whole story. I know I was almost never secure enough to feel it was safe to share everything. Mostly because there were moments on my part I was sure I'd get in trouble for myself.
When I was a kid I had a lot of panic attacks because of bullying, one time I locked myself in the toilets to be alone and then I heard a girl come in and she was crying, doing the exact same thing as me. So I went outside the stall to check who it was and it was another girl from my class, we never really talked much but this time we talked to each over and we told each over everything and even though that was only one short conversation it has been the best one of my life.
i'm so proud you found someone who understood. never be afraid to speak up if someone's bullying you, okay
great job for not giving up!

This is probably the most realistic version of school bullying I have ever seen. The awkward silence, the teacher’s inability to do much but then realising that words can really help and the dad’s response/reactions even though he means well, everything is almost 100% on point

I was called a snitch just for telling the teacher a kid had his phone out in class. I went to a charter school up to the 6th grade so phones weren’t allowed at all. They’ve been calling me a snitch to this day. Sometimes I feel like nobody’s listening to me, they just say “We’ll take care of it” and nothing happens. I tried telling my dad and he just tells me “You have a good life, why are you so depressed! You know when I was a kid yadda yadda yadda!”
I’m not belittling my dads past, he’s been through a lot but you still shouldn’t belittle what someone is going through just because it’s not as bad as what you went through.

I do understand that😢.
I was bullied throughout my school years. I have been bullied all the way from elementary school all the way up until my last year in high school. In total, 13 years of bullying. 10 of those I hated myself and the world around me. I felt like I didn't matter! The last 3 years of school(basically high school), I was done being the victim. I stood up to my high school bullies, and showed them, "You can try and break me, but I'm a freaking diamond!" Plus the fact that they used the exact same words as my elementary and middle school bullies used, like they followed a freaking script📑
I can't tell you how many times I was called stupid, ugly and weird. Nowadays, I use those words, but in a positive way. Stupid? I never claimed to be a genius. Ugly? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Weird? I AM WEIRD😜, and I wouldn't change it! I love being different!
That was the best part 😭
Feels pretty realistic how the guidance counselor talked about Noah getting bullied as though it was his fault.
"He has had incidents before" Ummm? No the bullies have been caught bullying before. And you know about it. And it's still going on. Interesting.
I was a victim of sexual harassment and know how this feel, I was pressured into going to some school trip and I was gonna be alone with those who harassed me, I said no but the teachers would put me on it without my consent if i didnt have a reason and in the end admitted to them what was happening, i thought i was gonna get help but instead they made me shut my mouth and there was no actions taken, so i told my parents and my father blamed me for it for being a soft guy, so in the end I got hurt more.
@@zommomomo8963 almost the same thing happened to me when I went to camp keep. I got forced into touching his...yk on the way home because they wouldn’t let me sit with anyone else.
One of the most diabolical experiences I’ve had as a guy who got bullied for a handful of years was 1) refusing to retaliate on my enemies out of sincere compassion for them and 2) them making me feel like I’m a worse threat that either deserves to be bullied or doesn’t know what they’re doing. I took on a spiel of childhood trauma that I underestimated for nearly a decade, including some conflict in college and even in recent where I’m highly misunderstood for my situation. Sometimes I tried to reach out but I would be so blind and confused as to my idea of asking for help that I ended up hurting other peoples feelings as if I myself were taking advantage of them, again misunderstood.
I don’t have any regrets to this day concerning how lucky I am today, but amongst things like how depressed I was for years I have a few notions for those in my shoes no matter the age:
1) don’t be ashamed for having a slower paced life than others. I’m sure no one wants to be left behind, but you will cultivate way more healthily if you are accepting of where you are right now.
2) you do have time. You will be surprised how many open doors come to those who prepare for them, I’d imagine the people who typically don’t feel guilt from their day to day situations but can still feel empathy for others are the ones that deserve to unfold the opportunities.
3) let life show you the potential. I’ve always believed there was a reason i belonged on this earth no matter how deep in the hole I got or how pathetic I felt that I would never want to offer value if no one knew of my tragedy. No one should ever feel like they have to contribute something back at the expense of their own well being and connection.
Anyways I’m very grateful for the casual yet creative approach of this short film. Maybe the arts really are an outlet for emotional drive and context that’s not recognized well enough these days. Feel free to reach out to me for anything, I’m more patient beyond belief and still work on my self compassion every day! Much love whether you are safe, struggling or out of the flames but still hope for things to make sense the way they can, and will. Don’t be afraid, always try something positive you’ve been in thought of and don’t ever give up.
It sucks how this becomes very apparent once high school kicks in. Counseling didn't help, antidepressants didn't help, I was at that point where I just had to get the rest of the years over with just so I could get out of what I called a prison.
The worst thing is that bullies forget what they did. They'll never realise what how awful they were and they'll never apologise because in their eyes they were angels.
@@indiecrowarts in elementary school I wasn't a bully, but a couple of my friends were and I did nothing about it (I wouldn't laugh or sth, but I saw and did nothing). I never got to say sorry to the kids that were made fun of, and I'm not friends with the bullies anymore. It must have been so hard to you and difficult to see how little they cared about sth that made such huge impact on your life. I'm sorry for what you had to pass through, and you're very strong for being able to let go such thing. Now I'm in highschool and ofc I always speak up about bullying and try to help, but it's not like it covers how I neglected this type of thing as a kid. I hope you're doing well *hands you a flower*
That made me hate bullies, and if they dare to open their mouths against me or friends, now same sex couple or even to innocent unknown ppl i just turn so different
Like, i pass to emotionless towards bullies and all empathy dissapears,anger and vengeance,i don't feel pity,idc if they end bad or good,idc and if they have issues,idc if they later will regret or not. I just don't care ab anything when it's talking ab them.
Because the fact they can't understand they did wrong
I heard ab my old bullies nowadays life and they still harass, annoy, bully
If it's not to me
They do towards others
My ex was so annoying to me and said crap to me
Since i broke up with him, he now annoys other ppl with his words.
He doesn't care. If it's not me, will be another one.
If they victim is not X, will be Y.
They don't care ab anything, anyone or else.
They don't learn the lesson, think and change to be better persons
They just "care" for a while but then turns back to "normal" as always.
They need to bully,annoy, disrepect,discriminate
And it's so Fuckin' disgusting,they find AMUSEMENT in that.
I hate a lot of things but don't discriminate or bully bc of it! It's easier to be polite, respect and have a conversation,if the thing i hate is harmless and it's just a subjective disliking and not a trait that is actually harmful or annoying objectively.
Sh*t that they can't understand
I still remember their sadistic laughing faces/look on them when bullying me or others. The fact that was as a hierarchy
They were in the top
And you all down there in darkness
That if u dared to tace them,they would go against you
The fact there was nice ppl too but didn't hang out with you because fear of being bullied,or they were bullied as well.
The fact they control the place
How i told teachers,my mom tried everything,but shit kept going on, bullying never ended, bullying still happened,i was maybe even bullied on public or alone and teachers never moved a finger to help me neither did classmates
How they're supposed to be forgiven? How can ppl ask me to forgive,if they keep being not pure?
How can my bsf tell me to move on,when he didn't experienced half the shit i did? Even i told him everything and even the how they did things to me?
So i just stay away from them and not have any kind of relationship,bc for me,they are not humans. Neither animals. Would be disrespectful to compare animals to those things.
Lately i knew ab my friend(girl) being bullied because she couldn't attend her bf bc final college exams. His friends(21 or above,while she being only 18) harassed her. Insulted/disrepect her. Made comments bc of that,social media,in hanging outs.
Fake parties,ended in a crack hole and getting wasted,and she being scared.
Indirects ab how she was a bad gf towards their friend.
The same ones who went homophobic towards me or my gay friend,the ones who said disgusting things to my mate with eating disorder ab her body
The ones who insulted us in quarantine while playing videogames
The ones who made scenes or victimist role and being so annoying
Those who were male chauvinist too.
The same guys.
They didn't change. They're still the same
The ones who expect u to get wasted on discos or whatever or you're not cool, you're a freak and should commit OOF
The trouble makers
ALWAYS talking ab topics in disrespectful and disgusting ways,instead of good manners ones.
They probobly went home and posted on istagram bout' how we should all just be nice to eachother

Yeah, I can’t relate to that well because I’m the fucking quiet kid and too weird to even talk to.
It’s sad that this is pretty realistic. If someone tried to help someone who gets bullied, they get bullied themselves. Then there’s the kids who bully other kids, but when the kid commits suicide they suddenly pull a whole 180 and go “this is so sad RIP, they didn’t deserve this 😭😭😭.” People are so shitty
Ikr it’s so annoying, and schools still do nothing about it

I hope you're both doing better
May your friend receive the support they need
Wow, what a hypocrite. So sorry that happened. Hope things get better for your friend and continue to get the help they need. Hope things are good on your end too.
I feel like I would be that girl. Not because I bully my friends, but because I have a dark humor that I'm still trying to control, yet it still counts as bully.
This would be my advice from personal experience: tell them to stop. If they say sorry and stop (maybe to the point they struggle to say hi), they just have acid humor. If they don't, they're assholes.
Yeah, I knew a girl like that too. It was back in middle school, she was quite literally the leader of my bullies, and during the "bullying bad" moments in class, she always pretended that she'd be that one hero who would be the one standing up to bullies, when she was one herself.
@@rosavillanueva5189 You are a very noble person, very few people acknowledge their flaws and try to improve them. Coming from a person with a thousand flaws, kudos to you.
I like how the purple thing represents how alone and bad feel every body when someone only wants to annoy us and make our self feel bad or stupid but with a little of help we can feel better.
Oh
I really like how they used the purple goo as a metaphor for being overwhelmed with stress that could led to them to drown in that stress which is obviously suicide
Yeah, that was wonderful. They put it well.

"This RAT is snitchin on us" oof.. that feels like something a teenager would actually say... it's heartbreaking honestly
I recently reported sexual harassment. It was a fairly popular kid who did it and since then me and my friend, who I reported it with have experienced this sort of thing but not as bad as in this film
we don't even snitch anymore in highschool. like we just don't care lol. but i remember back in kindergarten or first grade, there's always that one kid who would pretend to snitch on someone but they just ask the teacher if they could go to the bathroom. it's ridiculous and a great anxiety booster.
Toxic teamers in mm2 would say that LOL
@@hi-kt8jj 0ñ
Yeah
As someone that got bullied for over 10 years, I never was the quiet one, I was "the outsider".
They called me freak, ugly, fat, really bad words of all kind, volcano...anything.
I always got angry and shouted back.
The teachers always heard me and thought I was the problem...
After a while, I thought that too..
I had su!cidal thoughts but I didn't want to be even more painful for my family, who's amazing.
On May 2022, a light came into my life, a new girl, a miracle, she was as lonely as me and we got on well from the start.
We became our torch in all that darkness.
We became best friends and, on March 2023, we met a guy from another school and we became "the outsiders trio".
We all slowly became less and less sad and on September, we all got in high school, in different classes, yes, but closer that I could ever wish for.
I met two girls like us on my new class and now we are "The freaktastic five plus one" (We know the name is cringe but we don't care anymore).
Btw I'm 15 and I'm sorry if there are mistakes, english isn't my first language.
Edit after four months:
Well hi again, thank you for all the sweet comments!
Me and that new girl grew apart, she became really friends with one of the two new girls I introduced her to.
After two years of friendship she's like dead to me, again, I lost my best friend and my new friend as well.
We're not the freaktastic five anymore, sorry for the sad ending to my story but it's real life.
I am sad but not too much.
I am grateful for my boy best friend and my female best friend, the third one, the other 'new girl' even though it's been nine months already, school ends this week.
We are a trio again, the uncool trio, a lot changed but I can answer the question "are you okay?" with a smile on my face, "yes, I'm good, what about you?" and I'm not faking it.
You might think I'm either crazy or this is all made up at this point but I'll say to you that the only reason I'm still here and I'm happy through difficulties is Jesus.
He delivered me from bullying and from my anger issues and He saved me.
This is heart warming

that purple liquid may symbolize all the self-loath and negative feelings they have. And when the boy drowns in all these he's possibly considering suicide then a single message of concern made him got out of it

I hate this bc it’s so realistic, schools say they take it really serious but do absolutely nothing.
For example- in class I literally get made fun of and get called slurs right in front of teachers and no one cares
:) my teacher actually joined in
@@creambones7732 that’s shitty
One of my teachers let the popular kids that bribe the principal mock my name with me present in class.
Almost nobody takes me serious at school and most of my teachers hate me and refuse to use the name I feel most comfortable with even tho I told them countless times
So yeah...
They only care when you say anything back
same,another example:classmate throws stuff at me,throw one thing back, and teacher punishes me.
Moral of the story: schools have nothing to do with someone getting bullied, but have something to do when the bullied kid punches a bully
so true
I know just why school?
RIGHT?!? IT'S FUCKING MADDENING!!!
Simple, they bully me, then throw chair and desk at them. Copy?
We've known that forever
Simple words can make a whole lot of difference
‘’We take bullying very seriously’’
**does absolutely nothing to help**
Honestly that was the most realistic part.
Bullying isnt calling people names thats just normal words dont mean anything and if u dont like it just say ull shoot up the skl like as a joke or beat one of em up or start calling them back names cuz bullying is being bet up and robbed or like in class the hallways lovker room thats bullying ik u American liberels are to soft and sesintive to here jokes or be called names but im just happy people arnt brain washed where i come from

Schools think going like “stop 🤚! Youre hurting me” is gonna make the bully stop.
Literally
Fr
There is posters at my school saying if someone is bullying you just say stop and ask a teacher, fam like their still gonna bother you
Yeah! Just saying ‘STOP’ isn’t gonna help!
Saying stop might actually make the bullies worse, like they'll hurt you more because they can see how much fun it is to hurt someone who shouldn't be hurt.
Same with sexual abuse. Saying no won’t stop them a lot of the time.
When I first saw Noah I actually thought he had purple jelly on him but apparently it’s the sad thoughts of being bullied
same and I was so confused when it started coming out of the girl’s hands
@Lela Goddard not me laughing reading your comment 😭
Good to know I'm not the only moron.
its symbolic because you can see the ‘jelly’ dragging them around, as the thoughts never leave you. It represents the anxiety that sticks with people
It’s probably what most people first thought^^ (and I’m pretty sure that realisation is intentional, like, ‘oh, it’s not actually goo/slime’)
I love how at the end it shows both of them being shy. It really depicts what bullying can do to someone.
exactly.. it is a trauma response and not just being shy
Everyone’s talking about the school. Talk about the father. “Your lucky. You can just block em. Case closed.” That hit me so hard, since my Parents say the same thing. They don’t help, they just say I’m overreacting and just block them. It isn’t that easy.
Fr
Yeah ;-; don’t they know there’s other kids at school who use social media? There’s a chance your cyber bully could be attending the same school as you, and even bullies you irl
I remember one time my dad picked on me and I got flashbacks of when I was kid, I got picked on and the kids would yell and force me to look away because they don't want me to look at them. I started crying at that age and it still bought me into tears now. The old man despites me crying for no reason. He just hates me and my mom cry because he assume its something small or 'stupid.' He tells me to just laugh it off and some other stupid shit. He doesn't know that I've been picked on for my weight or becuase I had no friends and was the quiet kid.
I'm really glad this video showed it in a realistic light - sometime parents or guidance councilors don't understand, or can't fix the problem. They didn't give us the generic "Tell and adult" speech, they showed us how supporting each other can help, even when adults fail to do so. Really amazing video!
It is easy, stop crying over some damn social media and block em but if you can't do that then at least make a new account 🗿
Are you ok is not just a question, it's a proof that someone cares.

at my school everyone has this twisted definition of bully in their brains that is: "a bully is someone who beats you up" or "being a bully is knocking someone's teeth out" but the actual definition of bully is "someone who often hurts people physically, mentally or socially." and its so frustrating. (edit: i didnt expect this many likes! thanks so much!)
school also tried to twist it into being one person constantly. It's more often groups of people, and it's often super small too.
Yeah, I've been constantly bullied and even told that what they do to me is bullying but every time they get confronted they say they aren't even bullying and that it's just fun to pick fun out of people

as a former victim of bullying I litterally cried. You hope that someone notices and cares about you and most times you have to realise that no one cares as long it does not affect them.
please remember that calling someone out for bullying (or any other form of harrassment) doesn't make you a snitch/goody-two-shoes or whatever the fuck kind of excuse or name they'll make up, it means you're brave enough to stand up for yourself/someone else and that you are spreading awareness

I’m not gonna lie, I use the word snitch. But it definitely shouldn’t be used for someone trying to stop bullying. A better use of the word is when your sibling rats you out for taking a cookie, or when your talking to a friend during class and some kid yells to the teacher about it.

Same, happens in my school. But it's an race thing because I'm not too white or black enough or too korean
Yes! Me and my siblings were getting bullied by this family of 3 kids whom I will not name because I respect their privacy. But they had asseblies at my school about bulling but when I went to tell someone about it they were like "Okay we'll do something" Nothing happened. One day I ended up flipping of the younger kid and his sister the next day turned around and looked at me on the bus to school and said "We looked at the cameras yesterday and we saw you flip off my brother 7 times. He was crying" It pissed me off beyond my point and everything in me broke. They called me a fat b*tch saying that I went to different things because I was fat. Like okay Im not the skinniest person here but you don't have to point that out. When I first met her, the sister, I thought we were friends but it was a very toxic relationship for me. She said she despised me and when I confronted her the next day about it she said "I may have said i didn't LIKE you but I never said despised." GIRL I FREAKING CRIED THE REST OF THE WAY HOME FROM WHAT YOU SAID!! Anyway, they (school administration) Never EVER helped us with this.
I'm not saying there aren't people who will help you because there are lots of people out there who can help you!! You just need to find the right people who are willing to listen and help you, and if the person you're talking to won't listen then just leave and find someone you know will listen.

And then they (Maybe?) wondered why the quiet kid went deathly silent. Doesn't help when students AND teachers/assistants are telling me I'm lying and making excuses for things.
And THEN the teachers have the audacity to yell at me for not coming to them for help, when I did and they shut me down, and for Not Interacting With Others. The others that hate me? Gee I wonder why(?).
As I've grown older, I've realised that cruelty is weak, and kindness is strong. It takes a crowd of cruel people to break you but it takes just one kind person to save you. That's why cruel people always target the most vulnerable and weak people, or they will work in a crowd. But kind people will give their kindness to everybody, and do it alone. Be the kind person :)

something i really appreciate about this animation is that they actually talk about why people get bullied. so often in PSAs it's just "oh they're quiet" or some vague bullshit, but we all know most of bullying comes from prejudice; whether about weight, sexual orientation, or race.
Or from being someone who either isn’t popular or “cool” or someone who tries to help others and gets in the way. You know, the “rat.” So to speak.
Noah was bullied for being an awkward, unpopular “Ogre.” kind of kid. And Raquelle was bullied for trying to help him out and got in the way of the bullies so they turned on her for getting in their way.
Oftentimes, "quiet" people getting bullied stems from prejudice too. I have autism, which makes me "quiet" and anxious, which makes me a target for bullying. Ableism. Anything out of the "norm" becomes a target.
"quiet: people are easy targets, simple as that
@@fabplays6559 Hey! I'm autistic too! :D
Any hate is prejudice and to be honest lots of people don't bully for the stuff you mentioned
This is the most accurate representation of bullying I've seen so far
Really? It didn't seem very accurate to me.
@@kazuoua Depends on the point of view I guess
@@Rollie-4DaPollie Right, for starters, victims of bullying usually don't get to have a "happy ending" as the epilogue of this short would make it seem. They either learn to tough it out or run away, somehow.
This is mainly for two reasons, the first one is that bullied people very soon become emotionally "damaged" and they are not great or fun people to be around. While from the outside they might look like the victims, they're seething with rage, pain and hormones so lashing out at the earliest chance is not uncommon. In the short it's kinda surprising how the overweight kid didn't develop romantic feelings for the girl almost right away, bullying develops a sort of Stockholm syndrome on the victims so any show of kindness or non-aggression to them can make their emotions go from 0 to 100 very quickly.
The second, related, reason is that people who don't like bullying, in general, normally prefer to stay away from the bullied. I imagine it's somewhat similar to the subconscious aversion you have for the sick. Maybe it's an evolutionary thing.
In my opinion, a more accurate depiction of bullying would show a more isolated, angry (not sad, ANGRY) and emotionally damaged victim with almost complete lack of social interaction. Sprinkle in some instances of Stockholm syndrome (like I mentioned before) and there you go. For the epilogue, you show the victim either having a complete mental collapse or learning to live with their trauma.
Yes it is❤
not really lol
This happened four years ago. I was bullied from 4th grade all the way up to my senior year of high school. Schools constantly told my parents that these kids will grow up someday and they never did. One day I finally had enough and I kicked the ass of the tormentor from my childhood. And I’m the one who gets suspended it shows you how corrupt the system is.
Hey bro! I'm glad you can beat him up. Being timid is hard, they will try to pick on you.
Can really understand just that it was all verbal but the teacher think I took it too far when I just speak back and asked them to shut up ,and that I should had ignore things ,they talk to me ,try to convince me it was my fault when I just trying to get people to stop.

I remember I ran after the bullies and screamed at them to stop but it was like they didn't even hear me. It's just so shitty how people can see bullying happen with their own eyes and still do nothing about it.
Heheheh....that is too good to be true, if you find a treashure that good it wont last forever...belive me, they will remplace you
Notice how the other kids started avoiding her? The tactic of the people at the top is to keep their victims isolated, so that they have power over them, if the victim talks back then it’s just one person that they laugh down as a group, along with their stupid insults, they seem clever with alot of sheeple, and other people have to isolate them or else they become victims themselves. This is why it’s important for victims to stick together, and it brings a whole new meaning to the saying “they only have power over you if you give it to them” you don’t need to just ignore them, you need outright to rebel.

Their group ended up being a large group. She had more friend in the end than any of the "popular" kids. Support and kindness are healing.

Exactly! Another fact is that there are probably lots of kids out there who are kind and friendly that turn more reserved and harder in personality because they are bullied and nothing is done about it, as if the bullies and teachers are in an interconnected web of cruelty against victims.
As she said in the video though, it's hard to deal with cyber bullying because it's impossible to police the internet. If the account of the bully is private or anonymous then the school can't access their content, and even if you give them a detention it's not like you can make them delete their account

Like they say, "stand up to bullies!" And when you actually do YOU'RE the one who gets in trouble like *what*
I have the strange feeling that, even though I become a teacher, I may let students feel the same way. I was bullied in school, but now that I am about to change roles, I get the sensation that sometimes teachers really don't see what is going on right in front their own eyes. Often times, it is not seen, sometimes teachers tend to play it down because "its just kids being kids" , some don't even care. But, which I might think is the biggest factor, some are just afraid they won't be of help, and therefore look away. I also can't shake of the feeling that, as hard as it may sound, there will always be that one student who gets picked on...It is just something that happens when power is not weighted out...Just hope you all are doing ok. One tip from me: surround yourself with friends and people who understand you, you feel more powerful in a group and maybe even the bullies won't pick up then...
I am honestly so lucky to have a school that actually CARES about bullies. There once was this kid in another class and he never really spoke out to the teachers, or really anyone. But one day, someone saw the kid getting bullied, went to the teacher and the teacher went to the principal. The principal continued to call their parents and the rest is history.

You can't always stop bullying. But the least you could do is offer support.
Exactly. Don't rely on others to stop all your problems. The least a person can do is be there to support and comfort you. What a single person can do is limited.
@@koby4115 Yeah, sometimes all someone needs is for someone to sit with them through the shit and just feel together
I used to have a pretty big "savior's complex" mindset. When someone told me their problems, I would get up in arms, telling them they need to turn their life around, get a move on, that we could do this together, eliminate every single issue, go through every single legal process, etc. I didn't quite realize how toxic that was since really, I was just exhausting the conversation with all these things they weren't necessarily looking for. People often just want and need to be heard and someone to relate to. Not being alone makes all the difference - you can't fix things for them, only support them until they fix themselves.

Not all bullies are the same. Some are very manipulative. They can play the victim and paint you as the bully. They can get others to gang up on you. That’s the type of bully I had when I was in middle school.
I solved my bullying situation by simply putting up with it long enough to get actual evidence
Not gonna lie I’m proud of myself for dealing with it alone because it’s a pain asking for help and it sometimes makes it worse
One time in middle school I had enough and awaited my bully in the hallway during lunch break. Then when he came back from the toilet I smeared a sandwich through his hair. He went to our teacher to tell on me and the teacher said: “Floris would never do something like that without a good reason.” He had a strict word with him and I got away without any punishment.
Being super talkative and positive to everyone made the teachers like me. :p
the first bully you talked about are the ones you would most likely see on the internet and school
Me too.
I really like the symbolism. Being bullied feels like you're in a pool where a liquid filled with negative emotions is slowly rising and, without the right help or guidance, you eventually drown and are unable to get out. What's worse is that, in cases like Noah's and Raquelle's, you choose to let yourself drown and be covered by it for a long time period.
And if you steep in that long enough it twists you i ways you cant even begin to understand and might take a long while to fully recover from. Sometimes it leaves you with emotional scars that will remain for the test of your life
