Classic bully move is saying they’re ’just having a laugh’ when they’re quite literally ruining your life 🫠

[@jadeshepherd8627]

Breaking out the tears too when they're finally exposed for their cruelty

[@oreozzzzz]

and also laughing at you like you're crazy when you say they bullied you or "it's not really bullying"

[@carolinesconcertvids860]

Cam's right about these things carrying on into your adulthood. I'm 31 and still affected by my bullying at school. Even after leaving school if I ever bumped into people they still said nasty comments. I've struggled to get into relationships. Never had a proper one

[@CamKirkham]

It'll come if thats what you eventually want. Just keep focusing on yourself.. what those people say doesn't define who you're and their opinions means absolutely nothing so don't give them the power to hurt you if possible. I know easier said than done :)

[@kirbotime]

[@ParanoidAndroid89]

Yup. I'm 35 & still dealing with severe depression, agoraphobia, social anxiety & general anxiety due to bullying at school 🖤 I was the "Fat Goth"

[@Parmesito]

And is blaming other people actually helping you?

[@tiffo2022]

6:46 when I got into secondary the bullying for free school meals became rampant, like everyone who paid would bully those who got them for free, so they introduced the thumbprint system, everyone registered their thumbprint or PIN number and put money in the account(or free school meal amounts) and whenever you got food, you’d have to put in the pin but you wouldn’t know who was on free or paid meals. So the bullying slowly stopped when people couldn’t tell if you was paying or not!!

In reference to the part where they are calling that girl ‘fat slob’ etc. I am 30yrs old now (female) however when I was in secondary school someone called me ‘thunder thighs’ (I now see I wasn’t fat but at that age I didn’t see it that way) anyways. That 1 comment had a massive impact, I ended up with an eating disorder which resulted in anorexia and bulimia. At 30yrs old I still have a love:hate relationship with food and I always, always remember that ‘thunder thighs’ comment. Just clarifying that these comments CAN affect someone’s entire life.. Anyway - Great videos Cam! 👍🏽

[@eleanor4516]

Thank you for making a video about this Cam. I love your videos! As someone that was bullied and also had panic attacks at school (at different times during my teenage years) i’m glad you took it quite seriously. Your videos always have the right mix between humour and seriousness you do it really well! I also went to school in Manchester so this show is something I love watching for the nostalgia 🤣 I really enjoyed this video

[@Anna101shark]

Hey Cam! So when I did history for GCSE (years ago) our teacher was ALWAYS late so this one time when he didn't turn up for 20 minutes (our lessons were an hour long) we all left. He came down the hallway as we were coming out the door. Ah good times.

Strangely the entire episode I felt so uncomfortable watching his segments. Especially when talking directly to the lens. Could just tell, idk.

[@tutin4090]

The police quote is as follows "Thomas Eastwood is a violent and controlling individual who left his ex-partner terrified as he confronted her in broad daylight and assaulted her in the street. He could not accept that their relationship was over, and became enraged after believing that she had been in communication with other men." And here he is shaking because the one he was "seeing" was with another guy. Seeing could mean anything but we know sure as hell he's no victim.

[@itsnotmejimi118]

I love watching these because if I don't relate to some of the things, I learn. I think this is valuable to teach people my age (in secondary school) about these things.

[@lucymcgowan2712]

The girl who said she doesn’t like eating her lunch in front of people cause it made her uncomfortable.. I understood that in a spiritual level. Around year 8, I stopped eating anything at school and wouldn’t eat until around 4 everyday since I never ate breakfast either. Eventually I’d eat snack type things since I could eat them quickly but still it was sad to realise that I stopped feeling hungry in the day since my body got used to not eating for hours

The "I'm your friend, really" at the end brought back so many memories for me, too.

[@cheeriotomato]

I was so surprised with the teachers looking at the kids’ Facebook pages and looking out for them in that way - I’m from the US and it seems like teachers in the UK are much more involved with the total wellbeing of the kid, not just during school time. It’s nice to see! Wish things were like that here.

Having worked in a secondary school in one of the most deprived areas of Manchester really changed how lenient I was with uniforms... the whole point of the uniform is so that kids from better off families don't bully kids from more disadvantaged families based on what they were wearing. Some of the kids I worked with didn't even have a mattress at home. The uniform being clamped down on, was so that other kids didn't realise that some of these kids didn't have other clothes, or shoes - besides what they wore to school... it's not AS big a deal in certain areas of Manchester, but for areas like that, you're literally preventing bullying by taking uniforms more seriously than you would like to...

13:37 when you first join you don’t notice the amount of people. When things start happening you start noticing all the extra noises, paper, pencils, jackets and everything all of a sudden becomes too much and you need OUT! I get that too. Not as much anymore and for some reason it tends to be worse when I’m around 5-10 people, but more than 10 it’s fine because I’m focusing on a couple of those not all those 15/20 people!

I used to be a teacher and I sat with a student who was having a panic attack and sorted it out and she built so much confidence. The rest of her life carried on with more confidence. She made it. I'm so proud of her. Teachers might mostly be wankers but our job is to take care of our kids. We are not just there to teach the topic but to look after our kids.

I fully agree with you on the fact that these things are still stuck with you no matter how old you are, when I was in Highschool I had to sit on the bench during P.E and when I had P.E in secondary upper school I had to drop out of that specific class because I wouldn’t stop crying in the changing rooms, this is all because throughout my elementary and middle school years I was severely bullied and the worst time was during P.E All I can hope is that she’s okay and thriving in life.

Hey cam, love this vid and all your Educatings series. What you said about bullying staying with you, you're right. Im 27 this year, still traumatised from the buying I got from primary school to secondary school. Also had a bit in college and uni. Which really knocked my self esteem, and im afraid that it always will. I have amazing friends and a job which I love, but yeah its still affecting me heavily. I have a stutter and my vocal chords were damaged when I was born, which I only just stopped hating about myself. I'm still going to have moments like that, ngl. I got bullied for those things, esp in secondary school. My school reunion is coming up this month, I only just remembered but I am not going and putting myself through hell. I suppose I to get all that off my chest XD I really appreciate how these vids of yours balance humour and deep topics. Hope you're doing well x

Its true, im 17 and in college now, I have to take deep breaths before going into my classrooms, everytime im a few minutes from having to go to class i cant breathe properly. Its so stupid and i have no idea why it happens it just always has since i was a little kid. My attendance is so awful because of my anxiety and not actually being able to bring myself into college or into class if im already at college. It sucks.

Hey love from Manchester 😅😅😅😅 oh yah I know how Tom felt😢 cuz I suffer from really severe Anxiety so I can understand how difficult it is for someone.

People with anxiety/stress disorders aren't weak. You never know what is truly happening behind the scenes unless you genuinely try to understand. Many people do not realize what stress can really do to your body, what symptoms can happen. If you see it happening to kids, ask, offer them help. In general, just be decent to other people and don't judge them for things you don't understand. So many adults act like those school bullies, it's insane. I don't remember my last year of school too well because of my severe anxiety. Though I remember my chemistry teacher laughing at me when I handed him a test, I remember my math teacher telling me that I wasn't smart enough for her class, and I remember my mom yelling at me for 'faking' being sick so often. Other than that, I don't really remember anything. My anxiety was so bad that I threw up multiple times a day, had panic attacks, disassociated, etc. But the vast majority of people just said I was attention seeking and faking. Two years after school I was diagnosed with CPTSD and AvPD. Four years after school, I was declared legally disabled due to stress disorders and was later diagnosed with PNES. All of it stemmed from severe child abuse/neglect, and most people never cared to help me when it was happening. It was easier to say I was an attention seeker and blame me. I wish I had teachers that would allow me to take breaks and cared enough to ask. I would have given anything for help back then.

At much as it's good, he was given a pass to leave class for his anxiety. It will help in the present moment, but long-term, it's going to reinforce it. And so it's better really if he's made to stay there.
