It sounds like you have amazing parents. So many of your stories include your parents’ reactions, instincts, and decisions. I’d love to hear more of your parents’ perspective of these stories. I encourage your mom to start a channel and she can give her experience, thoughts and perspective on the stories you’ve shared!
I'm not blind, but a friend in school was. We were out on Halloween walking around. There was another friend with us...so two sighted people, one blind. I was holding my blind friend's hand (not sure why she doesn't do the elbow thing, I always remember holding hands..but she did have her cane, too, but wasn't really swiping it). We were talking as we walked, and suddenly BANG! She ran face first into a metal street sign. You would have thought one of us other sighted would have seen it and warned her? I guess we were too distracted with conversation. She had drifted off the main sidewalk, because obviously a sign wouldn't be in the middle of the walkway. She was okay, but I felt so bad for not paying more attention to where SHE was going.
Vivid Dawn I have ran into SO MANY street signs, even with friends... much more rare with my cane, but still. I do the hand-holding thing too. For me the elbow thing is too... it's a very stereotypical blind-people thing so i just hold hands instead.
Things happen, thank the Lord it was not worse and we can learn from what we share. Blessings.
Vivid Dawn
Happens to all of us from time to time. Me and my sister are both sighted, but I swear, if there is anything to bump into, she will. A couple of years ago we were walking to the bus station or whatever, talking and not really paying attention as we knew the way. SMACK! She walked head first right into a lamp post. It literally hit right in the middle too, one foot and arm on each side of it. I was kind of speechless, but she just shrugged it off and said "Happens all the time." It was hilarious :P
I walked into a sign and I am sighted... :D It happens to the best of us
this has happened to me multiple times and I'm not blind
I always run into tables and corners. I'm 100% sighted (with glasses/contacts), but I have bad depth perception so I don't really "see" where something is so I'll think I'm turning my body enough to miss an obstical, but I'll catch my hip on the edge of a table.
Evan O. Ugh that’s almost as bad as hitting your ankle with a scooter. I do that all the time.
Same I’m fully sighted with my glasses but I’m always falling on the stairs and running into walls.
Same
One time I was looking at the back of my chocolate bar that you could win a ticket on and I walked straight into a pole. Not blind but so embarrassing.😂
Same ish I think I am just clumsy though with 92% of my vision and I have glasses
Stairs- the worst thing ever. I have complete night blindness. If there is no light, my eyes never adjust to darkness. I have fell down stairs several times in my own home because I missed a few steps. so I have to keep a light on 24/7 so I can see the outline of the steps and have a white cane just incase. Really sucks, because I used to be able to see at night. Now, It's pretty much impossible. That's my night blindness moment. Hopefully they find a cure for people who lose their sight or have night blindness. I'm getting a second opinion soon. I hope for the best. My vision in general seems to be getting worse. We shall see.
Sarah Burke any updates? Praying for you
Hey what’s the update on this? How’s ur vision?❤️❤️
I have vision, but i’m just so clumsy and some muscular/nerve physical impairment that I have fallen up the stairs so many more times than down it. Also tripped over nothing, or trying to step over things because my left leg & foot don’t work properly compared to my right leg.
yeah i'm not night blind but at night everything is very blurry. in the light it still is, but in the dark it gets worse, Lots of my family have to wear contacts/glasses and i am one of them. i also have a muscle in my eye that is placed incorrectley so i am near sighted. When choosing a episode for TV shows i have to stand by the TV to see it. I relate. D:
I know this is a old comment but, How is your vision? Do you still have vision?
I wish you the best D:
Oh, it hurt just listening to that description of your fall and injury. I would find a video on anxiety very interesting. I love your story time videos, but sure hope that there aren't anymore that involve you getting hurt. Tfs.
+Rhonda Weber I forgot to say Happy Birthday - a little late. 🎂 How about a "what I got for my birthday" video - any make-up?? :)
that necklace is awesome!
My bigest blind moment was when I walked right into the metal detecters in front of my college's book store. I walked with such force that I het my head and mouth extemly heard, to the point where I cut the inside of the mouth.
I am not visually impaired but i've definitely learned don't push yourself after an injury/accident! I am in color guard and I spin rifles, and during a competition it was raining and I caught the rifle wrong, and i still finished out the rest of the 9 minute show despite the pain in my hand! this was on a windy mid-october night and the cold made it so i didnt feel it much. however, when i got off the field and got warmed up, my hand was in so much pain! i got x rays and they said i shattered a bone in my hand, but after re-evaulation, i only tore a ligament in my thumb. however, we still had 4 competitions left and i didn't want to let my team down, so for the next 4 Saturdays i still performed. now i am diagnosed with chronic pain in my right thumb :( hindsight is 20-20, but i valued my senior year performances over what i thought to be temporary pain
+Maddie Kelsey OUCH! I know the pain! Imagine that one torn ligament in your entire neck! haha Yes, it's not worth pushing yourself after an injury, even if you don't feel pain, you never know.. by pushing it you'll only make things worse.
Omg thats awful! So sorry for you.
First rule of working with an blind person who has no cane or guide dog: don't look away
The stories that come to mind immediately are:
It was my first week of freshman year in high school. I was excited because I knew my schedule by heart, and by that point, I'd even started branching out from using the main staircase.
So one day, I strolled into the classroom, sat down, and took out my BrailleNote. I was ready. Took me 10 minutes to realize that I was in the wrong classroom. The teacher's voice was different, of course, but I just thought that maybe it was a substitute. Granted, I figured it out within the first five minutes when she began talking about history, not Spanish. But I don't think my mind was ready to process the embarrassment of having to pack my things back up and leave.
I was in the right classroom, just the wrong floor.
There was another time when, in trying to avoid a group of kids on my left, slammed into the pole on my right (I can only see out of my leftt eye)
Both things can happen to the best of us haha. I don't have peripheral vision, can sort of navigate through life by myself, but I also once spent like 5 minutes in a class that wasn't mine. Unlike you I had to bolt out to find my class because we were going to sit an exam haha!
Also , I've ran into so many things while walking with friends or alone
Girl! I’m a wheelchair user and I flipped my chair back at work going into the vault. In front of customers. It was so embarrassing. Made me feel stupid. Worst was when it was icy (good ol canada) going from the parking lot to the sidewalk I started going backwards and had no traction and I almost hit a car. I stopped super close and thank god the car stopped. But it definitely scared me. This was this year..we had another ice storm, literally last week, and I called in and said it was unsafe for me to come into work. I was too scared of falling getting into my car or sliding and falling out of my chair.
So glad you are ok though.
I'm glad you're taking care, that sounds so scary!
When I was much younger, my mom and Nana were having a garage sale at my house. I decided I wanted to go inside for some reason, so I went in and started to close the garage. However, I didn't realize that not all of my fingers were on the same side of the door as me and slammed it hard on them. Since we were having a garage sale at that time my Nana stayed to run it and my mom took me to the doctor. After getting X-Rays we found out that I broke off a piece of one of my fingers. Needless to say I am even more careful when closing doors now. It wasn't a serious injury like yours, but it was definitely embarrassing. K
Hi molly, I have been following you for a good few months now but I've only just come across this video..
I also have RP, although I still have sight, I have never had depth perception, night time vision and I know it's connected to depth perception but I have very little spatial awareness, I have had glasses from 18 months old because I was diagnosed with many common eye conditions as a child and doctors struggled to work out why glasses caused little improvement.. I was finally given my RP diagnosis 2 years ago when my sight really started to deteriorate and the eye doctors decided to send me a specialist in London which is a 5 hour drive from my home town.. I will see the eye consultant again at the end of the month but I am really nervous because at my last appointment 3 months ago they told me that it was time to start using a cane but I really do not want to be seen as a poor blind girl.. I know that sounds silly but i try my best to find ways around things.. like I know exactly how many steps down to the beach or how many steps it takes me to get to work.. I am a teacher for special needs children which is ironic because my main student is totally blind and also autistic and it basically becomes a game of the blind leading the blind..
I'm just rambling here but what I wanted to say was how much I admire you, your videos are very inspiring to me and if by some miracle you read this.. do you have any advice in accepting sight loss and learning to use a cane?
Also know that you are not alone.. my biggest obstacle in life is stairs.. it's not so bad going up because I can kick to find the next step (my shoes always have scuffed toes) but going down as I'm sure you'll recall is like looking at a flat surface almost like a slope, and I'm very very used to falling down them and bruising my backside, sorry TMI...
another issue for me I walking into doors thinking that they are open, or walking into door frames because I've completely misjudged where the door actually is..
And more recently I felt so stupid yesterday when I tripped over a box of paperwork in my office that had apparently been there for months, I had just forgotten about it and of course because I didn't see it I went smack bang over the top of it..

Hi, I just newly subscribed to you about a wekk ago and I just wanted to say that you are really cool and an inspiration, really. I'm completely blind as well and my parents are like super overly protective and sheltering, so I haven't had that many interesting experiences in my lif. My worst blind accident would probably have to be when I was about eight and nocked my tooth out by hitting my mouth on the edge of a table. I was bending down to retrieve something and when I was standing up, I misjudged my trajectory and it came right out. Of course I've had lots of stumbles and missteps, but I've been fortunate enough to not have injured myself seriously so far. But I'll be sure to take your advice to heart, as I too am well known for brushing off my injuries. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
+Kalah Dolman I do feel very lucky that my parents let me be so independent and are so open minded to let me go try new things, etc. even when it might scare them! I know I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for the fact that they tried their best to raise me like they did my sighted brother, by letting me go off and make my own mistakes.
Too many of us brush off injuries, we all get embarassed, and like what happened here we need to go get it checked out, it can save a life. Sharing = caring, very inspiring. Blessings.
Kalah Dolman you spelled knocked wrong
Shut up ahhaha
Oh and it’s spelt not spelled :))
I am legally blind in my right eye and have been pretty much all my life, so I've learnt to gauge distances and stuff without 3D vision. I've had my driver's license for ten years now, and I've only been in one minor accident.
Still, my unconscious methods don't always work, so I frequently reach past obejcts or knock them over. It's mostly stuff that I (and my students) can laugh at, but lately, I've become so clumsy that my fiancé has started trying to shield me from potential "dangers". He keeps on pointing out sidewalk edges, potholes or anything else that could cause me to trip. Also, he's become over-protective whenever I use sharp knives.
I've also experienced severe anxiety pertaining to my visual impairment, even though I realise it would be so much worse if I were completely blind ...
Just *who* is your fiance trying to protect
when you have a sharp knife in your hand? :D
I know, right?! :D
I kinda get it, my vision is no to bad but still super thick glasses but because of a mix of bed eye sight and seizures and my eyes shaking so I don’t like to focus if possible to keep my head from shaking like crazy but when I was younger my parents kept pointing out sidewalk edges and potholes and poles and signs and at least he lets you use a sharp knife after I almost cut my middle finger off my mom didn’t let me cute with sharp things for quite awhile and after a fall down the stairs they didn’t even let me walk down steps by myself, I know they just trying to protect you but I get that it’s frustrating at the same time also
My worse accident was when i fell asleep behind the wheel (car). Was driving along the nullabour in Australia, it was really late and i was between towns and was too paranoid to pull over. I kept driving despite feeling drowsy. Suddenly, I've woken up after completely veering into the wrong side of the road, i completely yanked the steering wheel left to correct myself, i over correct and end up on two wheels. In a split second it is literally live or die (doing 100km) i managed to get the car on all four wheels and crashed into a bush.
I managed to walk away with a little bit of whiplash, very thankful i didn't die. Very thankful someone wasn't driving the opposite direction at the time!
Hi Molly from Australia. I just realized that you're only 1 day older than me, that's pretty cool. I too am blind, I've got something very similar to RP. There are a lot of simmilaritys in our stories regarding our vision loss stories. I would love to contact you and chat, I have so many questions about living in another country with a vision impairment, especially regarding access to services. Thank you for your wonderful videos. They have helped me to get back into making vlogs myself and I thank you for that. Much love to yourself and Galop from my Guide Dog Darcy and I.
Here's my story. I am legally blind or very close to it I have 20/70 (with glasses) 20/200 without and I was at a wave pool when I was 10 and I didn't want to go back to where my family was sitting to get my glasses and I had to use the bathroom so I just followed my friend but both doors to the bathrooms were open so you couldn't really tell which was which even if u can see normally. So I followed my friend but he ends up walking into the girls but notices well before me and bolts. I walked further in not knowing and heard some girls voice behind a curtain and then bolted but being that I couldn't really see where I was going I ended up running straight into the door frame instead of out the door and I passed out from hitting the door frame. When I came to there were all sorts of people standing around me. I wasn't seriously injured but it was really embarrassing since it drew a crowd
I think the worst accident I was in was when I fell down some stairs. A friend of mine has a house that is a little strange architecturally speaking. Street view, the ground floor is actually the second floor and the bedrooms are on the floor below. The property slopes downward so that bottom floor with the bedrooms is accessible from outside. My friend had a bedroom with a door leading outside and whenever friends would come over, they would go down a series of steps on the side of the house to access that back door. This was over a year ago in June (2015) and it was nighttime so it was really dark out. I was going down the stairs trying to feel them out with my feet (I'm sighted) but I miscalculated a step because they're not evenly laid out like typical house stairs, they're weird and stretched out. So I miscalculated and fell forward down a few more steps. I landed into the bush next to be and smacked my head/face into the stucco wall. I had a panic attack, was in tears, disorientated and couldn't figure out how to get out of the bush because I was so disorientated. It was fun. Loads of fun. I had these weird bruise like marks on my shin for almost a year before they finally faded.
I fell down the staris and cracked my head open. I was walking down the stairs from my room because my mom was going to take my sister to a friend's house. And I was carrying a book. At about the 10th step, I just fell down the stairs and cracked (broke) my skull. IT WAS THE WORST!!!!!!!!! I am blind!
I’m not blind, but I have a condition called Fibromyalgia and that effects my eyes. My eyes go into strain my the eye muscles go into spasm causing blurred vision and migraines. I got a pair of prescription glasses about 2 years ago that takes away my eye strain and when I was still getting use to them I would get a fright when they fog up or if I see its frame in the corner of my eye and I’ve also accidentally tried to put mascara on with my glasses on.
I honestly love molly so much. And it’s so crazy how you can see the difference between a blind and sighted person. If you really look at molly as she talks, her eyes twitch back a forwards (left an right) really fast because they don’t know what they are looking at. It’s so amazing to observe and she is so amazing as a person.
It’s so interesting to see the changes of Molly’s hairstyles over the years.
HELLO. I AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENT SO I LIKED IT TO SHOW YOU THAT I AGREE. IT WOULD BE GREAT AND APPRECIATED IF YOU COULD LIKE THIS COMMENT TO SHOW ME THAT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE MY LIKE AND ALSO SHOWCASE TO ME THAT YOU LIKE ME AS A PERSON SO I CAN FEEL VALIDATION. HOWEVER IF YOU CHOOSE TO DISLIKE THIS VERY COMMENT I WILL NOT BE OFFENDED, ONLY DISGUSTED AND CONFUSED. THE CHOICE IS IN YOUR HANDS AND YOUR HANDS ONLY. NO PRESSURE. NONE. OKAY GOODNIGHT.
My biggest blind moment was like 1-2 years after I was told I'd loose my vision I was out with my family and I walked straight into a moving van 😂 #blindboystories
yikes
I'm not blind but it's so interesting to hear about the things that sighted people don't realise or think about. We have the same birthday yay! Hope you stay accident free from now on :) take care!
Oi!!! Hearing this story makes me want to send you a virtual internet hug! I know you are a tough gal but I’m so sorry you had to endure the mental and emotional waves that this incident caused. I can’t imagine how scary it must feel in that moment, especially the complete shock.
I love your videos because I always learn something new, you’re very real, and you have a very good energy about you.

(My profile picture is me in a blue, purple, and green tie dye shirt, with brunette and blonde hair, blue eyes. Fair skin. Smiling with a backpack over my shoulder. In the background of the photo are trees.)
So I have just recently been loosing my vision, (tunnel vision, total blurred vision in my left eye, and legally blind) and my school doesn't exactly make accommodations. I got put into theater and when we had to do improve he turned off all of the lights even though I told him that I couldn't see at all in the dark. Turns out he should have listened because, I kept moving to my left where the left dips off for the stage to end and I fell off the stage. It sucked and people talked about it and made fun of me but hey #BlindGirlProblems
A
Sounds like you need to get advocates to help you in school. Because legally the school has to accommodate if they don’t they could get in serious trouble.
Try looking into a 504 plan. I think you make one with your doctor and it outlines exactly what the school has to do to accommodate you :)
Ugh, school is terrible sometimes. When you're young and in school it can be hard to see anything outside of that, even though you know you have a whole life ahead of you, things can just feel like the end of the world sometimes. I hope you're out of that place since your comment was two years ago. And I hope your life is much better and happier now.. 💕
WolfGoddess72 I have a 504 plan and my school would accommodate (after a fight) but it was always to the barest minimum and it didn’t always stick.
I appreciate that your story time video titles ACTUALLY MATCH the story. They aren't absurd exaggerations that so many TH-camrs use.
Here's a couple of my embarrassing stories, when i was much younger and catching a public bus in Dublin, i would often miss it as you had to put your hand out to stop it and i couldn't see if it was the right bus, by the time the bus got close enough for me to see the number it was pretty much past me and i was too embarrassed to put my hand out to stop it - many times. The other one was ordering some fast food when on holidays with a friend, he got his first and sat down, then i got my stuff and sat down next to him and started to chat about something or other, the problem was, it wasn't him, he was about 2 tables further away, Mr Magoo moment right there LOL. thanks again and good work - i'd be interested in seeing your thoughts on what you do around to the house to make life easier, how do you cook on your own, put out the rubbish bins out etc and what tips you have to tell us.
+Ies Apac You're from Dublin?! Me too! I grew up in Canada but my entire extended family still lives in Ireland. :) I go over to visit as often as I can, but it's not as much as I'd like. Thanks for sharing your stories, I've had similar moments myself! And thanks for the video requests.
No worries Molly, yes grew up in Ireland and went to school/college there - but we live in Melbourne in Australia now, I picked up on your mum's accent when I watched your previous video right away. Very likely to be a coincidence of course, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear of higher than average incidences of genetic mutations (like RP and others) in Ireland - perhaps a shallower gene pool with it's small population, take care - try not to fall off stages.
+Ies Apac I'd LOVE to live in Australia, very cool! I do believe that Ireland and those with an Irish background have the highest percentage of RP, I could be wrong but I'm quite sure that's what it is. Almost everyone I know with RP has an Irish background haha
Is there a video that explains how you "watch" tv/movies
I am super clumsy just FYI. I was saying goodnight to my dad and it was pitch dark. So just stared walking forward because I though I knew where I was going. So as I am walking forward I felt myself tripping over something. But I thought oh I will just lean with my elbows out in front of me because I thought the bed was there. It was not. I remember my dad being like what was that and I was just like oh nothing I just tripped because like Molly said you don't really feel the pain yet. So my dad starts talking to me about the fall and then I hear my mom calling up so apparently it was a loud fall. A few days later it was still hurting me so we went to the doctors. A few appointments after , we were back at the doctors office and he told me I had have a CAST on for three weeks. So that is my story. I am also a competitive gymnast. Love you Molly ❤️
I wear glasses without them everything is blurry and I get migranes. Before I knew I needed them or refused to admit I needed them I broke my ankle going doen stairs because I couldnt truly see where each step ended. I woild just slide down them basically.. Until one day I fell down 3 steps with carpet. I pretended to be ok so that my cousin wouldnt tell my aunt.. Then they didn't believe I was really hurt and thought I was being dramatic.. So no one called my mom or took me to the doctor for almost 2 days and my aunt kept trying to get me to walk on it. When my mom came to get me she took me to a walk in doctor and they thought it was broke so they sent me to the emergency room. It was just a bad sprain but they said they were supprised I didnt break it with all the stress fractures around my ankle... Had to wear a walking cast for 12 weeks then a special shoe for another 4 weeks.
I very much feel for you, that must've been terrible! I've been living with serious Post Concussive Syndrome symptoms for the past 4 years now and no one seems to understand how much my neck, eyes and head hurt. Mine was from an accident in a high school basketball game and the whiplash recovery was also super brutal. Trautmatic Brain Injury recovery takes forever, avoid at all costs. After watching lots of your videos- wow your pain tolerance must be so high. You've REALLY been through the ringer with health problems. Neck, eye, vocal chords, India illness, nose, IUD, etcetera yikes. I hope you have less accidents and illnesses or physical pain in the future. Plus on top of all of that the emotional stuff. You're one tough cookie, so inspiring.
You are so great at storytimes. Bcz you are so descriptive. Sighted people take the small details for granted. When you talk you pull us right into the moment. You should write a book
Dear Molly you love telling stories, we L.O.V.E Listening to your stories, thank you so much :)
Hello Molly I am visually impaired so there are multiple things that I can relate to you with although I have got significantly more vision than you I can understand the struggles that you must have faced my eye condition is called starguts I also have a visual impairment teacher that supports me school and I am still currently in school I live in the UK which is good because they provide me with a lot of help and support I read large print and have to use a laptop which I use to carry out all my work on and I learnt how to touch type just like you I want to become a motivational speaker to make people aware that even though I was blind and disabled people we should still be treated like any other human❤️
I was in a house fire when I was 14 years old. Burning 12% of my body mostly my hands, arms, front torso, and the right side of my face. So I know what it is like to have people stare and ask odd/rude questions. I love your openness, transparency, and your videos. It would be awesome to meet you one day!
A lot famous of sighted people fell off stages too. Gregory Charles is the one I remember the most because it was caught on camera and showed in the news. You are an inspiration to me. I am sighted but I struggle with bipolar disorder, and your videos gave me the courage to overcome my mental illness symptoms and start living again. Thank you.
I think the thirteen people who disliked had the screen upside down
Not at all impaired just clumsy: Once when I was like 16 (so you know old enough to know better) I decided I wanted to do this "obstacle course" at the local elementary school so I could impress a boy (cuz you know, V. Impressive stuff). And they had these weird like "mushroom cap" steppers that go down when you step (challenging) but I didn't know at the time that one was broken so instead of just going down it went crooked and so I of course lost my balance and ended up falling square on my back on this stepper thing and then also fell again onto the ground. I had severe back pain for a few weeks but I was so embarrassed that I never actually told my parents it happened I just sneaked ibuprofen until I felt better :S
I am totally blind. And I have difficulty dancing because I do not feel confident in myself. I am confident in everything else I do, but not dancing. How do you do it? How do you learn different dances that come out?
+Aracely Rosillo Great question! I was a competitive dancer back before I lost my sight. Now I am like you, I actually feel VERY uncomfortable dancing and it's something I try to avoid at all costs. I feel like everyone is probably staring at me because I might be doing a dance move different to everyone else, etc. Given I used to love dance when I was sighted I am trying to force myself to break out of my comfort zone of no dancing again and just start to let myself be free to have fun and not be scared of what other people are thinking of me. Don't worry, you aren't the only blind person who feels awkward dancing, I think most of us do! One day I know I'll let myself dance the way I used to love to. :) xo
+We Peace This question was very ignorant, so I'd like to educate you. I myself am blind, obviously, and not only make videos, but watch videos too. Watching videos is more than just a sighted experience, we can still listen and enjoy what's happening, Many videos and TV shows or movies are descriptive enough that we really don't miss out on much. In other situations we can watch things that are specifically described for the blind or have a friend watch with us to fill us in on the info we might be missing.
+Molly Burke I actually do have a resume. LOL it is just the confidence I need to just let loose that I'm missing. Also it is hard to find a person who can describe dance moves perfectly to you. I actually watch a lot of TH-cam videos and, based on their descriptions, I can kind of get a sense of different dance moves.
+We Peace At end of day physical appearance isn't the be all and end all in a relationship
+We Peace, I want you to think about what you write before you write it, because even I think your questions are kind of ignorant and borderline offensive.
I can't imagine how difficult or extreme anxiety would be being blind. I get panic attacks a lot and I have social anxiety.. a video would definitely be interesting to hear. I could probably relate in some ways.
I was embarrassed after breaking my foot. My leg atrophied. That was 15 years ago. I lost all my friends. Today I'm much better. I love my parents and my husband helps me out so so much. I'm a TBI survivor. ♥ Loving this channel. ♥
I have really bad PTSD with my accident. When my mom is driving the car and she is coming to a stop and it feels like she is not coming to a complete stop, it feels like the time that i was in the car accident when i was six years old with my birth mom (I am adopted). I have a Learning Disability where it is hard to talk about it sometimes because sometimes it makes me want to cry. This is my normal! I have had it my whole entire life and I have learned to live with it with the help of my mom and my therapist. But now that I am fixing to turn 19 , I have learned to accept the fact that this is my life and if people don't like it they can go someone else to talk to because I am not going to let them bully me because they think that they have offended me in that way but it hasn't. I think the reason why people bully people is because they are insecure about themself and want other people to feel the same way they feel inside.
I love your parents so much. They seem so loving and selfless. I’m glad you’re okay Molly ❤️
Oh my gosh, Molly you are such a trooper for dealing with this. This is so awful and your really an inspiration.
she looks so different with long hair and bangs, not to mention that it's not bright pink. also, HI PEOPLE OF THE PASSTTTT!! I'm from 2019 yo!
do you still have pain within your neck and shoulder? every video I've seen you seem very stiff and it doesn't look like you move your head much. are there still complications?
my dog when she was younger she ran down the stairs in the house and i do not use my wheelchair in the house and she ran right into me and cracked my right riv and i did not feel it until a year later and i still get pain and my dog is a lab mix and she is 3 and 6 months old and at that time she was 4 months old
I watched this yesterday, today I woke up with nausea and a horrible pain in my neck when I look left.
Actually it happens to sighted people, too. At my school we had a small staircase leading up to the stage from the front that could be moved. And because of the angle it wasn't visible from stage unless you were right in front of it. Some theatre shows included people walking down into the audience and for those they would put markers on the stage to indicate where the stairs were and the actors wouldn't have to search for them in the play. But on the evening of the play the stairs were moved a little to the side, but not so much you would notice from the audience and no one checked from the stage so when the part came where the actor would walk into the audience, he walked right off the stage. It wasn't as high as your stage, but the floor was stone and he broke his arm.
Thank you for sharing. It... is nice to hear someone talking about accidents and anxiety cuz then im not the only one. Thank you.
I fell off a stage once. It had access ramps on each side, about 3-5 feet wide. We were hanging decorations and i was backing up to see it from a distance and... was angled the wrong way so i had way less room than i thought. I fell into the front row of seats and just kinda stayed there. I was like "im fine, ima rest a bit". I think all i had were some bruises after that but nothing big.
I really enjoyed all your storytimes that you make. Can't wait to see more in the future.
About 14 years ago I was working at a manufacturing plant catching for an automated press (huge machine stamping the metal parts out that come down a belt and I quickly inspect, group, and put them in a bin, around 80 lbs every 5-10 seconds). Anyway, we were cleaning up for a three day break around Thanksgiving and I went to lift a 50 lb metal tray where scrap slides off the machine to finish cleaning behind it. I didn't notice the oil and water pooled under the tray and I slipped, being twisted sideways by the tray. Like you I didn't feel any pain other than minor aches from the fall, so when asked if I need to go to the hospital I told them no. They said to just go home and see if I felt better after the break. I felt pretty bad the next day, so I spent the entire break in bed, just figuring I'd bruised myself pretty bad. When I returned to work, there was only minor pain as I'd stayed in bed for three days, but over the following two weeks the pain got increasingly worse, especially when I tried to stand up straight. I went to their onsite care area, but they said because two weeks had passed, I'd have to pay for any treatment I sought up front, and unless the doctor determined it was from that incident, specifically, they wouldn't reimburse my expenses. I couldn't afford a doctor, and I couldn't work due to the pain, so I was forced to quit. I only found out after the statute of limitations had passed two years later that what they had done was wrong, and I don't harbor any ill feelings towards them, but I wish I'd known this at the time as I was unable to work for months. I did try a job a few months later, but the pain quickly returned. Also, over this time it got to where I couldn't stand up straight at all; I was hunched over all the time like Quasimodo. After six months I got a card in the mail with an offer for free x-rays by a new chiropractor in my hometown. I figured I could at least find out what surgery I needed, so I went. The doctor came back in the room ashen faced. He said he'd never seen someone's neck so far twisted. He couldn't believe that I wasn't dead or paralyzed. He said he wasn't even sure he wanted to try and work on it, but he said if I insisted we could take it slowly and try to untwist it. I saw him every day for weeks, and then twice a week for a few months. Eventually I was back to my old self. He had me work on strengthening my back muscles and I haven't had to have any adjustments in some years. Anyone reading this, definitely don't wait to get checked out if you have a serious fall, especially if the fall involves your back, neck, or head. Even if it doesn't, don't ignore pain. Pain is your body's way of saying something is seriously wrong. I'm glad you were able to get your's fixed, even if it did involve some embarrassment wearing a neck collar for a while. I've had quite a few friends (usually older, but not all of them) tell me they are embarrassed to have to use the motorized carts in stores, but I tell them there is nothing to be embarrassed about. I had to use them during that year. Life happens. It is better to be comfortable and take care of yourself, and if people have a problem about that, or judge you for it, then that is on them. Needing help or assistance is nothing to be ashamed for, and you never know what someone else has been through, or is currently going through. Sorry if this ran a little long. Have a great day!
I’m a few years late to this, but I also once walked right off a stage, and I’m not even blind 😆 To be fair, I was walking backwards, so in that moment I suppose I was walking blind, but still. It was in high school, and I was rehearsing for what I believe was a tableau performance in drama class. I was in one “scene” but not the next, so I had moved offstage, into the wings. However, from where I was standing, I could still see the audience, so I started backing up. When I reached the curtain, I kept going because I thought it was the curtain leading further into the wing. What I failed to realise was that there was also a part of the stage that jutted our past the stairs, and this was the part that I was backing into. So I kept backing up... and suddenly I was falling. Luckily it was only about three feet, but it was so unexpected that I had no time to process what was happening, and hit the ground hard. To make things more awkward, the curtain went all the way to the floor, so I was still completely behind it, but it was pretty obvious to the people on the other side that something had happened. Plus, other people onstage and backstage had witnessed my disappearance 😆 So I crawled out from under the curtain, and everyone rushed over to make sure I was okay. Once it was confirmed that I was fine, we all started laughing about it 😂
How scary 😟 Thank you for sharing ❤️
When I was 2 my mum came home from work i had just been colouring and I came running to say hi, my mum saw me coming put her bag down in front of her and went down on to her knees ready to give me a hug, I ran over to her, tripped over her bag and when she picked me up off the ground she saw the pencil I was holding had punctured a hole right through my lip and straight through to my mouth, luckily I went to the hospital and all I needed were a couple of stitches and only have a small scar, but that was the worst injury I have had so far, touch wood 😂😂😂

That style of stage is actually fairly common in older schools (at least in my area). They were a real pain in the rear for one act if part of the act was in the audience or on the floor in front of the stage. My school had a stage that was put in the summer before my freshman year, so it's a really nice stage and only 2 foot off the ground (and we've had fully sighted people walk off of it accidentally)
That sounds like such an awful injury 😭😭😭😭
So glad you're alive still!!! ❤️❤️
& My worst injury was when I fell down on the road. I hit my chin so hard that i lost my side teeth. I was bleeding from my chin so bad there was a huge puddle. My friend had to move me so i wouldn't drown in my own blood. I was knocked out too. I had to get a bunch of stitches. My dentist said i was lucky i didnt break my jaw. It happened close to a restaurant and the waitress seen it all happened. She brought us inside when i finally came too and i bled all over the restaurants carpet lol. The waitress also drove me to the hospital. ❤️
Hi Molly! I came here because my teacher inspired me too and you are my teacher's niece
I posted on your other video “ worst accidents” about my injuries, but I totally have felt and still feel sometimes that pain of sitting in a car and any movement of slowing or braking or turning too sharply causes shooting nerve pain or a muscular pain in my back and leg(s), sometimes to my ankle or toes, my foot gets tingly and numbe sometimes or burns :/
I love the story time videos.
The whole time I was focusing on how perfectly your necklace aligned with your shirt, but I’m so sorry to hear what happened.. that’s gotta suck and be so scary!
your injury stories are reminding me of all my love vision falls/trips/walking into things lol
is her hair real? either way, it's very pretty, so is she.
Hi Molly, happy birthday for last Monday. Love you and your videos x
TW for talk about flesh wounds and like? parkour fails? but here’s my “serious accident but went on like nothings wrong” story.
I’m not legally blind but have worn a strong prescription that affects my depth perception to some extent since I was in grade 1. This event happened in 5th grade near the end of the term (I was probably 11 or 12).
I was being a dumb kid on a field trip and was playing around on rocky outdoor stairs. some kids were daring each other to run and jump and I was definitely egged on, but I ended up mis-judging a jump and having a sharp rock about an inch in diameter puncture the flesh on my shin, as well as a bunch of spots nearby and on my hands getting roughed up from the ground (which actually the scrapes ended up hurting WAY worse than the puncture wound because the rock took out all the nerve endings in the process.) It was a clean puncture and it was far enough down my leg that i could mostly hide it and the blood with the tall black socks I was wearing but I remember going to the bathroom after to clean up cause I thought all that happened was some scraping from landing on the sandstone and finding an oozing gash like a centimeter or deeper and going “yep i cant keep this on the DL” so I got another student to get like the museum secretary or something? Things get kinda fuzzy like I thought at the time there was a nurse and a nurse’s office in the museum but it might have just been a private office and a standard emergency med kit.
Apparently during that same field trip another kid broke his arm doing similarly stupid stunts, he was inconsolable when we were singled out by a teacher after the fact and talked to outside the pizza place we went to for lunch. It was literally 10 years ago I only remember it like a clipshow of varying detail.
I actually never went to the hospital for the wound because I was terrified I’d have to get stitches? And like yeah this thing was a half inch hole in my leg I definitely would have had to get stitched up. But we kept it sterile and went on and off ointment because I’m pretty sure I have a bacitracin sensitivity so it slowed down healing to a crawl when I kept the disinfectant on. It never got infected and eventually healed up. Now I have a big indented scar on my shin. I still don’t feel a thing touching it but I’m VERY grateful it didn’t harm my tibia any, and also VERY happy all the important muscles, arteries, and squishy bits are on the *back* of the calf.
Needless to say, parkour is not for me.
I slept with an injury before. I was a child about 3 or four years old,I tried to go down the slide, but the slide over time did not stay cemented to the ground on one side and it fell sideways. it was probably about five feet off the ground and right when i sat to go down it, it just tipped. I fell on the ground and screamed because i landed on my arm and the fall scared me since I went on that slide tons of times and this never happened. My grandmother picked me up and checked it and she told me it was fine, that it would be better in the morning. News flash. It was not. I slept on the couch facing the back of it with both my arms in front of me and I couldn't turn over. It felt like when your arm is asleep but far worse, the more I moved the more pain it caused. My mom tried to coax me to sit up but I just couldn't do it. It was too much for me. My dad finally came over and picked me up and they were able to see that my wrist had swollen up in the middle of the night and took me to the hospital. It turns out that it was broken. A year after that I broke my elbow jumping off the bed to try to reach a balloon that fell off the string and I managed to hit my elbow on the table a week before vacation. I don't remember this one as clearly but my elbow has a scar to prove it and the video of me watching everyone swim while i just put my feet in the water with this bright hot pink cast that went all the way to just under where a t- shirt would go. It's strange how your mind works. They could tell I broke my elbow because the bone was jutting out enough to nearly break out the skin and hang at and unnatural angle but I don't remember what it felt like but I clearly remember the painful numb shooting pain of the broken wrist. Those were the only times I broke any bones.
im not blind, but i'm very clumsy and have had my fare share of accidents
my worst one was when i was 10 and nearly broken my lower back falling out of a tree another was a bike accident when i was 13 when biking to school, and just recently had my hand munted at work by a cow, luckily never broken any bones but have my fare share of scars from accidents over the last 20 years
Hey Molly! I’m a little behind the curve and I just discovered you (literally yesterday) for the first time. I absolutely love your videos and have been binging them since then. Anyway, as far as embarrassing injuries goes...I don’t have any disabilities (other than Type 1 Diabetes, which really only slows my healing down if anything), but I broke my ankle (I’ve broken it 3 times total and this was the 2nd time). How did I break it, you may ask? Well...I broke it while putting on pants. 😒😂 Yes...I was changing out of jeans and my foot caught on the pant leg and I went down. I heard the snap of the ankle breaking and immediately went down. No one was with me so I had to call my neighbor and then an ambulance. I did make sure to get pants on before I called anyone, though! All I could do was laugh at myself through the pain haha Love you Molly! ❤️
I am visually impared and my biggest blind girl moment was when I was at a football game in Highschool, I was on the bleachers and missed a step and tumbled half way down the metal bleachers from the top, which were very high. I injured my knee and had alot of pain and bruises. I had fallen in front of most my High school and the opposing team high school.
my vision is not great- im short sighted and i have a lot of dark shadows in my vision. i get afterimages of things i haven’t even looked at, which makes it hard to see things i’m looking directly at sometimes. my vision is quickly deteriorating and becoming very strange and i’ve been referred to an eye doctor. i don’t know if this was related to my sight, but this was before i wore glasses, maybe 6 years ago? i was about 11. but there was an incident where my family and i had gotten back to the accommodation we were staying in (as we were homeless at the time). we lived in prefabs and had several other little prefabs surrounding us. my mum put something in the oven for dinner. our oven was faulty and started smoking. it set off the fire alarm. my mum freaked out and didn’t want anyone to hear it (which is so stupid because they would have heard it anyway 😂) and told me to run and close the back door. i didn’t see that the floor was absolutely saturated as the sink had overflowed and my mum hadn’t told me. as i tried to catch myself i ended up hairline fracturing my ankle and i couldn’t go to school for the next two months, because even after it had healed i was extremely paranoid and my depth perception also isn’t the best so falling or miscalculating my steps was/is still a huge fear. i still get a lot of pain, and when i first got my cast taken off it was excruciatingly painful and my school at the time was too far to get a taxi or walk- out money situation wasn’t the best. even now my physio told me my ankles/feet aren’t like functioning like they should i guess??? and i walk with a bit of stomp. but yeah that’s my moment haha
I've had a somewhat similar experience falling down stairs. I was walking down the stairs to my grandma's basement and we were going to play hide and seek in the dark, but they turned off the light as I started coming down and I fell. Luckily my cousin caught me at the foot of the stairs or I would have landed on hard cement. To this day I can not go up or down stairs without some kind of light. I guess I still have some residual anxiety from it. Can't imagine how scary that was for you! Glad you're able to look back and kind of laugh at it now. :)
Bless you yes anxiety video would be good I have it x
oh my gracious! that is so traumatic! so glad you are physically and emotionally better! #ILYSM
Omg molly that sounds terrible I’m so so so sorry you poor girl🥺🥺🥺
Hey Molly, just wondering if you have a “living with anxiety” video? I was just diagnosed with severe anxiety so if you have that video it would be really helpful for me but if not that’s fine. Thanks a million

No visual impairment but when I was around 7 I was playing in one of those kids go kart toys in the playground, just went full speed and full force into a brick wall with no helmet on. Then I've had several falls on ice, quad bikes, horse back and tripped on air it seems. I'm just really, really clumsy and honestly lucky that I've not given myself a serious head/spinal injury (I'm only 24 so I hope I've not jinxed it!)
Omg you're so close?! Im in 'Sauga!! This is so cool XD Love your videos and your strength, you're awesome ^.^
I was on an swing and jumper off then i was going to run and fell so i did damage my knee very bad and i did know it bc the pain i had done it before and just walked on it and damage it Worse never again
Miss your videos can't wait for another one
At a school dance, I sat on my friend and my other friend sat on me (the floor was lava). The bottom person stands up without telling us and we both drop to the ground. The person on top of me falls and lands on my foot. I fall on the same point and in the end it was sprained for 3 months and was in a lot of pain
I got embarrassed when I walked into a pole at a home improvement store..
the only bad injury that I have done to myself is bracing both my arms in a span of 3 months.2 weeks later after I got my first cast off I broke my other arm. I know nothing as bad as your stories
Molly, do you know which eyeliner you used on your waterline for this video by any chance? I've been looking for a good one recently and I love how yours looks!
Is it weird I laughed wen she said "it was squishy ... To squishy" like I wasn't laghing cuz she got hurt but squishy is a funny word to me idk y 😂
I also have rp and I love watching your views,, wish you the best
I cringed when you described the muscles ripping. I am so clumsy as it is in my life, I can't imagine not being able to see. I like watching your videos because they make me be more appreciative of what i do have in my life. And your videos lift me up.
I recently started losing my vision and I run into door frames ALL THE TIME. It’s the most frustrating thing
I'm not blind but I swear I cry acid tears and it stings like crazy but is only happens sometimes
Molly: who else would fall off a stage
Me: I’m pretty sure I have I’m sighted
I LOOOOOOVE your lipstick!!!
I broke my right hand twice. Once by tripping over my own feet. The next time I fell out of my wheelchair. I also tore the labrum muscle in my left hip and popping the IT band in my left leg over the bone when I went to transfer from the couch into my wheelchair I fell and did the splits and my left left twisted awkwardly. I did weight training on it for 3 days before I told anyone that I was in a lot of pain.
A couple years ago I fractured my right wrist (also my dominant hand) while I was roller skating.
The roller skating place was playing a game (i forget what it was) but I went to go onto the rink and this boy knocked me down and I didn't notice that he also ran over my wrist with his roller blades. It didn't hurt but the place only gave me an ice pack the size of (an Australian) 50 cent piece. He was fine but they got him a wheelchair and my mum carried me off.
my mum then took me to a local doctor and he took an x-ray of my arm while it was flat and then tried to take one on its side, but, I couldn't put it on its side so he yanked it to its side and took another one. He then said that I broke my wrist and the only way to fix it was to take me to a hand surgeon so he could operate on it. My mum didn't listen to me tho and drove about an hour to the children's hospital. They were much better and got me a cast (which took like 10 hours to get btw) and it healed about 1 month later.
Also, it turned out the boy that ran over my wrist went too my school was in the same grade as me and wasn't injured at all
Also that was too long of a story but i dont care
Wow I'm use to ur newer videos . U look sooo different here..
This is why people sue for whiplash ... it's excruciatingly painful! I know your injury was 10 times worse than that. But I got whiplash falling backwards off a treadmill at the gym one time. Omg! The PAIN ... for 8 months! I can't begin to fathom the pain you endured. I also fell head first down my stairs with my arms full, thus not breaking my fall with my hands. I ripped my left Achilles tendon off my left heel. THAT was the worst! It took 2 surgeries to fix it (to include bone surgery to shave my heel down to the proper size. Hagland's bone bump. So NOT sexy!). Was in a wheelchair for a year. It was bad ... & I'm sighted. My issue is balance disorder. I have to be really careful, or things like this happen when *I'm* not paying attention.
As always ... 💜Hugs 2 ya woman!💜
Happy belated birthday😊
