Tentacruel Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Never went to a public school and when I did interact with other kids I was usually too oblivious to let anything bother me, so I can't really relate, but yeah, the video's cool. Kind of assumes a lot about the person watching though. A terrible unloved a****** could be a bully-victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vairocana Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 A pretty well put together video. Wasn't "it gets better" the tagline to the gay bullying movement though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Hyperion Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I watched the video and all I got from that is we are all oh so little special flowers Sure, bullying is bad, but to me, its also a valuable life lesson that the world isn't a happy place and you will encounter situations that you are forced to defend yourself, being yourself in competitive areas, like applying for a job, doesn't always get you anywhere and even older people are actually ZOMG SO MEAN to diffirent races and believes all the time. So yeah, how is this project going to stop those considered suicides again, if this project's only purpose is to tell other people they are special, then when they get older, they finally got slapped in the face by reality? and 1000 views isn't that much you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really f***ing. Bothers me. So because the world's not a nice place, we should all just accept that and...I don't know, [i]not try to make the world a nicer place[/i]? Do you know why bullying is so devastating? [i]Because the kid can't walk away from it[/i]. When you're bullied in school, you're getting harrassed and mocked- every day- in a place you are [i]required to go to[/i]. There is not a "real life" equivalent to this. There just isn't. And I f***ing resent you implying that kids who get bullied are some kind of weaklings who don't know how to handle reality. Because they go through s*** that you'll never have to, and they get up in the morining every day and do it all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I agree, yet some extreme forms of bullying are [i]more[/i] harsh than reality to an emotionally volatile teenager. If kids are being driven to suicide, clearly something is wrong. Okay, I just thought of something. People pick on each other, that's only natural. What makes bullying so troubling to people? I have a theory. It's not the actual act of bullying itself, it's all the bystanders who do nothing. Get in a fight with one person and lose? Big deal. Get in a fight with one person and lose while everyone else stands around laughing at you? Sad panda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greiga Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 They can walk away from it but tbh their mind is too weak to actually do that or even know what to do. Not saying bullying is ok but if you're bullied for a pariod of time it tends to toughen you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vairocana Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 [quote name='Greiga te Jalokia' timestamp='1333544672' post='5901270'] They can walk away from it but tbh their mind is too weak to actually do that or even know what to do. [/quote] Tell me, how exactly do you "walk away" from a bully? Scenario: Big dude picks on you, shoves you around. You walk away. He follows you mocking you further and then shoves you into a wall. Scenario: You avoid your usual hang out spots in fear of the bully. He finds you anyway because he derives pleasure from your suffering and a school simply isn't that big. Scenario: You hide in the bathroom for most of the day to avoid him. You are miserable because you are hiding in a bathroom Scenario: You fake sickness to avoid school. This works for maybe a day and then he beats you up extra for avoiding him The problem with bullying is, outside of drastic measures such as switchign schools, [i]you can't walk away from them[/i]. You HAVE TO go to school everyday, and the bully is going to be there waiting for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying bullying is ok but if you're bullied for a pariod of time it tends to toughen you up. [/quote] I disagree with that. I was bullied a ton in middle school because I was deemed to be a total ditz. Other girls began to gossip behind my back, and boys jeered at me when I walked around school. The secretive whispers that followed me were almost too much to take. I tried to stay strong, because I had far from a "weak mind" as you say. It's just, as Vairocana said, that I [i]couldn't escape my bullies[/i]. I had to get my education at the public school that I was financially strapped into, but school was where the hurt was. Thus, I had no choice in the matter, and the teachers and my parents who were supposed to be doing something both turned a blind eye. Bullying didn't toughen me up. Bullying made me afraid to be myself around others, made me cry at night, turned me into somebody weak, somebody that I wasn't. The bullying has stopped as my classmates and I have both matured, but middle school always gives way to painful memories. I'm sorry for my long post. But this is a personal subject for me. >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejandro Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 And who cares if 1000 views is little? We're a small fledgling organization just beginning to grow. we don't expect 1 million views in the first day. and i wholeheartedly agree that anything, no matter how the size of its impact, can change someone's viewpoint on bullying. this video wants to reassure to anyone out there who feels alone, that there are people who care about you. this was supposed to strengthen people. not remind them how weak they are.
