A disabled boy turns playground bullies into friends. | Animated Short Film "Ian"

Daily reminder: You're not useless. You're not a dissapointment. You're not dumb. You're not different. You're not compared to anyone. Because... You're loved. You're strong. You're smart. You're beautiful inside and out. You're the best version of YOU there ever is. and you're human. I know you're going through a lot of stuff right now but it'll be okay. This life is a long journey. In a journey, there are ups and downs. If you ever go down, it doesn't mean you can't go back up. Rest easy and give yourself a treat :) I love you very very much and I just want you to know that.And when you go back up, you have that space in your heart that can help others back up, as well

Well at a social level it’s just down to individual choices, on a macroscale this kind of cooperation is unattainable through peaceful methods. You have to be a bit more… forceful, at that magnitude.

I think that iron fence between the boy and other friends is the wall that exists in real life between normal students and disabled students. And this short film may tells us that the wall can be removed if everyone works together for disabled people. :)

Unless someone is a sociopath or evil, it makes you have understanding, compassion, desire, and motivation to be good to other people and help them

This is an inspiring story for many disabled people around the world, even if others will laugh at you, you keep going, and get back up, and pretty soo, you will get friends, and you're days of loneliness are over. This is truelly the best story I've ever seen.

[@650RepzOFC]

Never have I ever related to something so hard before. I grew up disabled many others like little Ian and myself can know exactly how this feels we may not know how to communicate that feeling cuz what kid knows what pain is and can fully explain it? None. Growing up disabled watching the other kids play wondering why you can’t play too is extremely isolating and lonely. Not always but more often than not it’s lonely for a long time until you finally meet ppl that see you as a person and not a disability. I unfortunately didn’t turn my bullies into friends but I met some good ppl along the way so it helped. This short film is amazing.

[@Netreek]

[@Renserin]

This is glorious, and I love it. The metaphor of the fence, and going to pieces like that, it's both very creative and very emotional. The fact that it's based on a real child's life just gives it that much more of a punch.

[@cynthiacassel]

I love it! It’s always easy to give in to feeling ashamed of something you can’t change instead of reaching out to the people hurting you and realizing how much strength you really have.

[@michellelynnefoster]

There’s a boy in my class who has a wheelchair and can’t walk but he never let it hold him back from anything he’s strong ❤

[@nikashaolu]

At first the kids didn't understand his condition that's why they were mean but when they got it they showed him the loved they are to give him💖😸💟

[@willoughby1888]

Yeah, baby. Don't ever have the disabled come into your world alone, you go into theirs, and then you pull them into a better 'your world' recreated with them in mind. They have it rough enough to have earned that honest human compassion. And create less 'fences' for caregivers, too.

[@lester5]

This actually one of the saddest story’s a have ever heard in my life

[@parabellestudios6229]

This short could also be teaching parents, teachers, guardians and role models to inspire children to be mindful, empathetic and kind towards others. A child's ignorance and cruelty is only a reflection of the adults and the environment that shaped them...

My whole school bullied me along with he teachers from 3rd all the way to the 6th they made my life miserable all because I had autism and I didn’t like the same things others did so it went on nonstop for years I would go home and cry my self to sleep cause of how hard it was to make friends. My mom went to the school everyday and threatened to sue and they didn’t care everyone in my family cried for me it was really hard for but as soon I got to 7th grade things got easier for for me I was able to go back to my normal self (I broke a kids 3 years prior cause I was tired and had a lot of pent up anger from those 5 years of hell and my biological father abused me on top of that when I went to stay with him as it was for something else but I assure you my life is better now

We all go through different bad things in life… the hard part is coming through to the other side of your pain and overcoming the heartache. Good for you for looking forward. God has a place for you if you look to Him for guidance.

[@Major003]

As an adult with a number of autoimmune diseases caused by the HLA-B27 gene, this is _so_ painfully accurate of what your world is like. As a child, maybe you have a better chance, socially, but if a rheumatological and/or neurological problem doesn't afflict you until you're an adult... it's like people stop understanding. "When will you be better?" I've been asked. I've literally had to say, "it's a *CHRONIC* health condition. It's lifelong." One friend told me, "ohhhh, don't claim that!" Uhhhhhh... that's my _objective reality._ Denying it trying to use some sort of Law of Attraction mumbo-jumbo is not suddenly going alter my reality. Oh, and the friend starting to talk to me about my illness, getting distracted by someone else, and then forgetting our conversation was also some that actually happened to me. I don't know, perhaps it's just my life. I had a circle of fairweather friends who abandoned me during a very dark time. Part of that dark time was the onset of my many comorbid diagnoses, the first one being fibromyalgia. I've had a hard time finding new social circles since I can't seem to find a church that suits me. It very hard not to cry watching this. I saw "disabled" in the title, saw the little boy's skin was made up of a binch of mosaic pieces... I knew I had to watch this. The mosaic tiles people was a *BRILLIANT* design choice. Suuuuuuuch a perfect aesthetic to illustrate neurological and rheumatological illness. I have Sjögren's syndrome, which is a demyelinating disease, and INSTANTLY connected with the boy having a tremor and difficulty holding his cup. 😢 Phenomenal little film. This is one of the best portrayals of chronic illness I've ever seen. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Amazing short very emotional and really brings attention to excepting others despite how they look we should all be excepting others and not leave them out just because they can’t walk or does something differently then you doesn’t mean that you should be mean to that person and make them feel unwelcome we are all human and none of us want to feel discriminated because of something that we can’t change and it isn’t our faults everyone should just except each other and not be mean towards someone because they are different. This short film is very helpful to teach people how to except others and learn to not be mean. Thank you for making this wonderful film I know I’m 3 years late but this film is amazing.

[@cinemartin3530]

This charming short film made me smile. It has not only an extremely beautiful, original and colorful visual component, but also an important message about the acceptance by society of children who are different from the majority. Amazing work that deserves more attention. Children can be quite cruel people because of their stupidity. Often they do not fully understand what they are doing, succumbing to intuitive social rules. Thus, they intuitively reject children who are not like other children in order to better fit into the ranks of the company of which they are part. This is how people are arranged, and only later do people begin to understand what is right and what is not. Think about the feelings of others. Although there are exceptions. It is unfortunate that some children have to deal with these problems at such a young age, at the age of the most vulnerable and impressionable, therefore, outside support is very important at this time, otherwise the child may form the wrong impression of society. I, too, was rejected once, and support was very lacking. Although I coped with this, becoming only stronger and better understanding society, I would like more children to receive the necessary support and bullying does not spoil their lives.😔

[@Panda72021]

Depends on the kind of people you surround yourself with. Yeah, unfortunately there will always be people who are complete dickheads, sometimes due to ignorance...other times they simply choose to be awful people who lack empathy and compassion. Finding people who are supportive and kind, as well as finding people with the same condition as you can make a big difference (online groups/friends are good, because you don't have to exhaust any physical limitations to stay in touch). Sometimes it's just nice to have a group of people you can talk to, and not have to explain everything to...because they just get it.
