    Default Bullying is so wrong

    + YouTube Video

    To me this not only signifies this individual kid's problem with bullying, but also highlights human relations and how it has degenerated into utter savagery at the hands of Capitalism.

    That's disgusting. I have been, and always will be anti-bully, because as that poor kid said they just tear you down. And that's not cool.

    Actually you should all start raging now. Apparently the video was fake and i guess he doesn't get bullied.

    This kid needs to get a punch straight in the face for trying to fake something as bad as that
    He didn't fake the video.. He might have felt isolated from the entire school, but that's a far stretch from faking it.

    Even if he was playing with people's emotions the quantity of homophobic shit posted in the comments section of the second vid is unbelievable.

    Assuming the video is fake, I think it at least it serves as a moving piece of propaganda against bullying. The existence of the second video is... unfortunate

    And that about sums it up nicely I think, no matter what the circumstance of the video may in fact be.

    My childhood died because of bullying. And worse it was classicist bullying, because my parents are proles but their social condition and they put me on a "better" school (private, most kids were from cappie, petty burgeois(with their usual wannabe capitalist mindset, and even rural aristocrat background)

    They treated me like shit for all that time for coming frow a "lower" class. (and thus not having their usual minset of consumerism, fashion, fame etc)
    My childhood died right there. Plus I got into a years (decade) long depression from psychological harrassment (not physical because I could beat all bullies together by myself).
    I got over it sure...but the scars are here, and it TOTALLY ruined my childhood.

    Whether or not the video was a fake I honestly do not believe it matters.Jonah says in his video description that he does not have feelings of suicide so I believe he made it as an anti-bullying video.I just don't see how one can "fake it" if it was originally meant as something else anyway.

    This made me sad Probably because I can relate on some level. I was bullied for being poor/lower class for a couple year back in the middle school to high school transitional period. Though I can't say it lasted as long as yours did or that it had as much of an impact on me. So for what it's worth I feel empathetic towards you and your situation. But the best thing you can do is to try and not let it bother you and live not letting your past get in the way. You can still enjoy your childhood now! Forget social standards, if you wanna play in that god damn water fountain, do it! Fuck those preppy jerk offs! lol.

    Fortunately the bullying stopped for me shortly after my freshman year in high school. I'm not sure why but I think it was a mixture of the fact I was 'developed' at that point and also the fact I was starting to become more aggressive... lol.

    The greatest revenge you can take on those pricks is to live your life without thought or concern for what happened back then! Cliché, I know but I like it

    I posted this already: http://www.revleft.com/vb/child-vict...512/index.html

    The video wasn't fake. Read the info of this FB group for clarification: http://www.facebook.com/globalbullyawareness?sk=info

    There is also another video of his friend discussing the video above, which people think hows he is lying, although I don't understand why since he says nothing of the sort.

    Indeed, that is exactly what I intend to do (and am doing) right now . Thanks for the support btw. For the first time in a long time I am enjoying my life, and ever since I started leaving all of that behind me things have been working out great. I still have self-esteem, and related problems but it's becoming gradually weaker as I keep moving on.

    Also a "funny" fact, during my depression times I was politically something like a fascist. I felt empathy(I always had a lot) for others but I kept repressing it and punishing myself for it.

    Now that I moved on (2 years ago more or less) I became a full blown commie

    Weather the video is real or not is irrelevant. Its ridiculace that parents have become so weak that they don't even try to educate their kids about what's right and wrong and simply assume the school system will do it. 50 years ago this wasn't a problem because there wasent "progressive parenting" allowing kids to do whatever they want with no consequence until they end up killing some other poor kid with theyre sexist, raceist, homophobic behavior.

    It is real. People need to stop doubting it's authenticity.

    If both are real then huzzah! I had hoped it was real but the other video made it seem like he was non-challant about it

    You have to remember that this is a 14 year old boy with limited experiences. The initial video was also made in August and he'd since started at high school. The point was not to brag, but to establish that he was OK. People with an inability to interpret basic English have then decided that this was somehow an admission of trolling. Even though he goes on to talk about his scars.

    Also, his mother has gone on record discussing the video, as have various friends. It would be the most elaborate trolling in the history of trolling and for absolutely no purpose other then to pretend a 14 year old boy was being bullied...

    In any case, how could any one watch that 13 year old boy (as he was at the time of the video) and think he was faking? It makes no sense to me.

    Yeah right in the face! Or maybe we should bully him!

    I was bullied excessively when I came to America. I realize that I was the weird foreign kid at the time who made some stupid decisions, but god dammit, nobody deserves to go through what I did. Literally 95% of the school was against me. What was worse is that they first did it behind my back, once they figured out that I caught on, they just did directly. They called me stupid, short, weirdo, vodka child, Stalin, faggot, etc. It was very hurtful. They also constantly ruined my books, pushed me into lockers, and made me feel like shit. It wasn't just the popular kids, it was everybody. And in those three years of hell, nobody ever stood up for me. My mom was no help either, she sometimes became violent and also called me stupid because I was doing very poorly in math. I became depressed and lost all energy. I spent days in bed doing nothing except homework and crying. I constantly thought about commiting suicide. However, I found joy in one thing, and one thing only. As weird as it sounds, it was masturbation. I swear, I am 100% serious. Masturbation filled a hole in my life, and it made me feel really really good about myself. I owe my life to my hand, otherwise I would not be here
