Lmao in 4th grade there was this cult of mean girls who were all super skinny and fashionable and one day they decided to recruit me. Mind you, I was a chubby kid who loved food and was obsessed with the school Chicken Nuggets. The leader would apparently tell everyone what to eat and what not to eat at lunch so the one day they were giving the chicken nuggets. she told us all to only eat 2 and to not put ketchup on any of them and to give her our chocolate milk. lemme just say I DIDNT TAKE HER SHIT AND ATE ALL THE CHICKEN NUGGETS AND I GOT KICKED OUT BUT HONESTLY THAT WAS THE ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS IVE DONE.

[@shamallamalanza]

I studied in the Philippines, I was bullied for having a tan skin colour in primary school (which the girls thought was so dark and they called me Negra) and later on when I was a freshmen in the nearby high school I was considered popular for looking different 😂 cuz I'm mixed Pakistani and Filipino 😂😂 it was so funny cuz the same girls that bullied me were the ones who made me known at school and had the guys chase after me,😂😂 you gotta thank bullies sometimes

[@annamay1629]

La Shanza that sounds like such a beautiful mix you are!

[@shamallamalanza]

Anna May thank you!! xx

[@_nzeny5691]

La Shanza O.M.G I studied in the Philippines too but I'm half spanish and I look white so I never experienced the whole "negra" thing but I was a nerd and bullied for it

[@analaurakarimeholguin]

I'm in highschool now and this is so true, Girls in my grade try and bully me but I'm the "take no shit" type and I stand up for other girls getting bullied because I've learned the meanest people don't stay mean forever. Highschool ends and when they are barely realizing the crap they have said and done, you will already be blazing a new trail.

[@epyscrivano3145]

Good for you! You should write a blog or do videos to encourage kids! To quote Eleanor Roosevelt: "No one can make you feel inferior without your permission."

[@Alice.lavecchia]

Haha now everyone wishes they didn't have their periods

[@Skeirrr]

I like the wig, it looks good on you! Rocking that Dora the explorer's style! 😉😉😉 "No one is sponsoring this shit" hahahaha SOMEBODY HAS TO!! Your content is really good! Muchos besitos y saludos, YENNY!

[@cayliecarter3397]

Oh my god. Middle school was the WORST. I didn't need a bra in 6th grade (barely need one now and I'm 20), but it was such a BIG DEAL to have one so one day I just wore one of my sister's small bras. Luckily I did that day because this girl ran her hand over my back just to see if I was wearing one. Like why did it even matter??? The period thing wasn't a big deal with the girls in my class, but you HAD to have a bra and you had to have a crush on a boy.

[@mscheezburger]

Jenny, thank you so much for this video. I am a really nerdy high school girl from Miami. My family is also Cuban American. I always thought I was kind of an outlier. A strange combination of characteristics that no one else could possibly posses. But after seeing this video I know I am not alone. Thanks for posting this, it felt like getting a hug from a friend. Ok I'm gonna stop being sappy now, thank you.

[@DesertStars27]

UGH I went to school with a bunch of wealthy girls and they used to pick on people (aka me) because I didn't have Victoria's Secret panties. Like... WE ARE IN 7TH GRADE. WHO CARES. Like when we were changing for gym class they would creep around to see was wearing freaking fruit of the loom.

[@carribeanpearlnone656]

Natalia N What the heck? That is the most stupid thing to pick someone on that I've ever heard

[@LieutenantBonk]

:D Fruit of the loom. I hope you're still wearing these. You are awesome.

[@_nzeny5691]

7 dislikes those dislikes might be from the bullies yenny had before 😂😂

[@cocolarrel4840]

I was bullied by my friends for being "fat" I wasn't even fat but even through secondary school when I would have an argument people would say well your fat then I lost loads of weight my lowest was 94 pounds people then started calling me anorexic (which I was) I still struggle with it. I ended up being hospitalised My hair was falling out I'm 16 now and the doctors think I'm going to be infertile. I was popular in school and the teachers rang my mom and spoke to me about my weight and said that the younger girls wanted to "look like me" and they said I can't be in school until I gain weight because girls were copying me. Love you Jenny 💜

[@annamay1629]

Coco Larrel dude you gotta not let people get to you like that.. you clearly had an eating disorder before you started being bullied, now you won't be able to reproduce because of some names people called you? I hope you find yourself soon before it's too late, I wish you nothing but the best

[@carriepour5538]

Coco Larrel I had the same experience. I'm 5"4 and my lowest weight was 85 lbs. this all started because guys said I was fat and ugly when I was 12. I'm 15 now and probably going to have to repeat a year because I was out of school for 6 months.

[@chromarinc]

Co-captain of the nerd herd here. I was so lucky that I was able to have older sisters tell me that girls who picked on me had their own crap going on and that it wasn't really about me. That helped me not care about what anybody thought of me and I kept being my goth punk self until about my senior year in 1999. It's hard to keep up that look in AZ.

[@lamingtongirl123]

Wow the mean girls became doctors? Imagine having them as your doctor now...

[@klimtkahlo]

Childhood in this country sucks!!! I am so glad I did not grow up here! Nobody bullied nobody where I come from and sure there were rich kids that thought they were it, but who cared? I certainly did not. 🇪🇺💞

[@kiaraeijo]

In Middle school, girls were jealous because I was the smartest in my class and I was the nerd. In high school, two girls who I thought were my friends were jealous because I was friends with the guys that they liked

[@Sabrina-sc1db]

Ayyyy you look like Edna Mode Nah but I'm loving the wig work it, yenny

[@MistressOfNerdom]

Tiny hoomans unite!!!! (I'm 4'8").

[@Shirnai_Tigeria]

4'10" here!

[@auburnsunlight]

Funny thing is, my bff was always the youngest (or 2nd youngest one) in her class so she got teased for still "being a kid" up until she was thirteen, even though she's such a wise girl... Then when she got her period, she had a major GLOWUP and all the girls who used to tease her got so jealous of her bc they got their period early and stayed the same height, and then there was her with her 5'9'' height and curvaciousness... What goes around comes back around💁🏻

[@withlovef0ryou]

Amira Hafez i was the youngest in my class my last year of elementary but with all of that i was the first to get their period (at 10

[@cristiperez2203]

himynameissacred lmao at 10?? yeah right u must be so small

[@majormoron5480]

Ugghh I got my period in 4th grade and people were jealous when I got to middle school and I was just like what? You're jealous that my vagina sheds it's uterus lining every month and I bleed through all my pants? I know right soo fun. relate to this video too much😂

[@lamonaq]

u_need_ tylernol same

[@jajajan]

There isn't really mean girls in my grade. (6th) Only in the 7th and 8th grade. But in my elementary school there was this girl who had this group of "cool people". There was this small table for the preschool kids to sit. You were "cool" if you sat with them. I only sat with them once because it was raining and there was no more room for my friends and I to fit in tables. The table were so small, my knees touched the bottom of the table. Now when I look back at it I was kinda the kid who was "cool" cause everyone wanted my Mexican snacks that my mom packed me for snack time and the "cool" girl always wanted them. Once she came late to snack and I already ate all my snack that my mom packed me and she said "why didn't you wait for me to eat" me in my head "wth, why dose she want my food she already eats a lot" This girl was also skinny and I was a bit cubby and she was lazy af and I walked to school. The girl only liked me for my for my snacks, school supplies, jewelry. THE GIRL WANTED MY ROSARIO! Wth she doesn't even know what it is 😂

[@all4one1fourall]

I was bullied because I was always was on the heavy side and I grew up during the gang wars in NYC. It was awful. If a gang guy looked at me (I did thin out and had a big culo) I had to fear for my life that the girlfriend wouldnt kill me and leave me in a ditch. Yes Cross and the Switchblade was true. SMH

[@MissLionRose]

4:37 I too, was a kid like you, (still am) HOLD on to your childhood as long as you can, it's magical!

[@victoriaporres2253]

lol... I got my period when I was nine... so I beat everybody. they were so jealous 😂 because I would stay home the first day or two of my cycles. yeah, no joke when girls say that having your period is such a come mierda thing that you just "can't".

[@holagataeang]

Victoria Porres I got mine at nine too! 😂😂 Mensie Twinsies (I cringed as I typed this) Lol!! 😱😂😂

[@hearthrose8285]

Dude. My 7th grade BFF broke up with me in 8th grade because I wasn't 13 yet. And that's only the start. Everyone is crazy those years. And - I'm forwarding your vid to my almost-13yo, because it was pretty awesome. Thanks for helping me support my daughter, who is in the trenches.

[@kimr3879]

Oh man I was bullied for the most stupid of reasons. People picked on me because of my learning disability, so they made fun of me for constantly getting low scores in all subjects except for art, and would call me retarded and that I'm going to fail whatever grade I was in. However, the biggest reason I was bullied, was because I was one of the best artists in the school. Like wtf? And then there were those hating ass chicks who be like, "Oh, well I know someone who can draw waaay better than you," like I gave a fuck? Geez.. and there was even this one chick who hated me throughout the whole school year and did the worst possible thing anyone in my grade school days has ever did to me. She took my drawings of original characters I made and worked so hard on, and folded as well as ripped them up, simply because some girls liked the pictures and I was getting attention without even wanting it, and her triggered ass wanted to make a "point", I guess. It took almost my whole sanity to prevent beating her skinny ass, because she knew I could. I was taller and thicker than her, but I never fought anyone, because I was so bent on being such a good girl. I was terrible at grades, but I didn't want my busy at the time parents to have to go to school because I beat a bitch up and got a pink slip. Though when I keep thinking of the past, I wish I could have backhanded all of those pendejas.

[@latronqui]

Kimtastic please tell me you're an artist now!

[@kimr3879]

Of course! Those bitches can't stop me from doing what i love. :)

[@nathhc1671]

I sure you didn´t want to upset your parents back then, but that girl needed at list a good slap all into her face. believe me, I fought my bullies and the surprise in their faces after that first slap, like Sinatra said: they cant take that away from me hahahahaha

[@kimr3879]

I feel you, but the thing is that I don't like hurting people. When I was even younger than I was when I was in class with that hateful girl, I used to fist fight with both my brothers and my cousins who used to mock or make fun of me. I remember an incident fighting this one native american girl back in 3rd grade, I believe. She wouldn't just leave me alone and she used to steal my gel pens (those things were the shit!) so we fought and I did not hold back on her. I fought her like I did the boys in my family. I don't remember much but I do remember feeling bad because I hurt her so that's why I decided not to fight anyone. No matter how annoying they are and no matter how much I just wanted to backhand them all. They could say whatever they want. I usually just ignored them and did my own thing. Didn't have a lot of friends, so I was mostly a loner. That's probably why I was a target for them to pick on. But they never laid a damn finger on me, so that's why I had no reason to fight. Talk is cheap. It's worthless. But once you lay a finger on me.. I'm not holding back! As for that bitch who fucked up my artwork. She knew I could beat her ass but I didn't want to be known as a violent person. Plus she had her own mommy/daddy issues, I assume, since I remember there was multiple instances where she got in trouble and got her ass whooped by her mom for acting up. I kind of felt bad for her, since i'm not totally heartless, even towards people I don't like lol.

[@jossbeingjocelyn8918]

Kimtastic I feel u!!! Same: I got picked on for my leaning disability as well. Honestly, it was stupid.

[@ErikMarie]

We must be near the same age because I remember girls in middle school talking about this stuff. I didn't care about that stuff, mostly because I already had boobs and my period (lol), but I had other things to worry about-like Batman Beyond and Roswell.

[@XtinaLucia]

Believe it or not I didn't have this petty ass experience till I got in my 20s and started working. PETTY.

[@caffinejedi]

Oh man. I had some mean ass bitches in my middle-school. Rockway Middle is still terrifying.

[@iveththompson469]

caffinejedi lol rockway! i used live a block away from there, went to summer camp and was a shortie. simpler times.

[@karina1709]

lol..i went to Rockway! I loved it. I cant complain..

[@caffinejedi]

Really? When? someone told me a lot changed. I was there 97 to 2000.

[@karina1709]

I was there from 92-94 and had a great time. I'm actually still friends with a lot of the people I went to school with at the time and I still keep in regular contact with several of my middle school teachers as well. I'm a dork. :)

[@caffinejedi]

Do you remember Penguina?

[@tjbedista]

Thanks for making this video Jenny! There was this girl in my senior year class who always gets pissed at me because my waistline is smaller than hers. Weird.

[@jchoo5469]

I remember this girl in middle school used to hate on me for the way I walked. The...way..I... walked. Like just don't look at my patas, move your eyes. It was so annoying and looking back, it was all jealousy. I was happy, in my little afterschool activities, in advanced classes and thank god, I was confident enough in myself during those awkward years. Girls at that age cannot stand to see other girls be happy and confident.

[@almaguillot8597]

I wasn't bullied upfront in school -maybe because my height tends to intimidate people. But I'm sure the popular girls of my class had a laugh or two about my extreme nerdy looks back in middle and high school.

[@destroythesoul]

I definitely was the bullied. I remember one time when I was in middle school (6th or 7th grade) in the wonderful world of Myspace I posted a picture with makeup on, and this girl from my class commented that I looked ugly with makeup. It did hurt me and I probably became more self-conscious. But now I look at it as a blessing in disguised because after that I stopped using makeup and I am so comfortable in my own skin. But honestly everyone in elementary and middle school was mean in my opinion. I got made fun of for even behaving well. It was ridiculous!

[@loalva8202]

It’s all about insecurities. People who are insecure will find stuff to point out to in other people. Your sweater is amazing, by the way.

[@AnnaMaria-ny9hd]

oh geez, same! It was such a big deal back then even though I live in Greece! The ways we were...

[@silviav7783]

in middle school girls said so many mean things like 24/7 and it influenced me a lot so i usually said mean things like them even tho i was feeling bad everytime i did it also sorry for my english, i'm italian

[@joneeroberts66]

can we get a video that helps us non Spanish speakers learn some common phrases? i took some spanish in highschool but I'd love to know some more slang and such

[@lamingtongirl123]

Jonee Roberts the slang you would learn from her is only applicable to Cuba and the Caribbean. I'd like to know Cuban slang too though.

[@bn7203]

Bonbon eating she hulk LMAO I, unfortunately, started at 9 -_- It wasn't fun. I was more concerned with playing dolls and dress up games on the computer than worrying about my period. The things girls worry about when wanting to grow up too​ fast......

[@stefanySG]

JAJAJA I stop shaving my pelitos two years ago. Benefits: my legs are not that cold anymore, more relax time during shower, gasto menos for razors.

[@ErikaHernandez-iq9jz]

THAT BLOCKBUSTER CARD THOOOO!! THATS WHASSUP!! Blockbuster was life back in the day lol Oh man... I've had my fair share of dealing with mean girls especially in high school. When I finally graduated I remember I cried.. but they were tears of joy of being free from that godforsaken place lol

[@viviendolaspanglishlife637]

I was bullied by both genders and funny thing is that my bro was the popular kid In middle school and I was the nerd...

[@girla05]

I was bullied before middle school and 6th grade. I was picked on because I have hairy arms, I wasn't allowed to shave my legs, and because I wasn't your normal girly girl. I went to a catholic school that required us to wear uniforms that consisted of a green polo shirt and a plaid skirt that had to be down to your knees. I finally had enough of the teasing and shaved my legs without my fathers permission. I cut myself several times so I a few bandaids to school the following day. I felt like a badass. Lol! I think about it now and I laugh but I honestly felt a little relieved to have 1 less thing to be bullied about

[@lauradelvasto3196]

I studied in Panama, and I went to a relatively small school, so basically everybody knew who everybody was. The thing is that from 5th-6th grade onwards, a big majority of my classmates (boys and girls equally) would bully me for the most stupid and childish reasons that you could imagine, and since they were friends with people who were both younger and older than us, so then their friends would follow the trend, but eventually I learned just to laugh at them, mainly because their taunts were so uncreative that they were laughable

[@jaioliver2580]

with that wig she looks like edna from the incredibles! work it

[@latronqui]

In what I think would be like middle school in the US I was one of the girls who didn't want to grow up so fast, and I also had a group of friends who were like me, so it was all right, although I was tired of all the little dramas. But then I moved to the capital city of my country and in my new school I identified a group of girls who I thought were like me, less into pretending to be adults. But guess what, they NEVER let me be part of their group!! They were very intolerant, maybe it was part of this "trying to make childhood last" thing, they didn't want new people. The "popular" girls were actually the nicest to me, but we didn't have any taste in common, so we couldn't really hang out. Then there was a group of boys who were really mean to me, hiding my things and calling me names and stuff. School was the worst, I can't believe I survived.

[@darylsenato6941]

I was bullied in fourth grade. I was a transferee from a private school to a public school. They thought I was a snob and rich. The truth is I was very shy. The guy I was sitting next to started asking for money at first it was small then time passes he asks for my whole lunch money. When I first told him that I wouldn't give him my money he pulled out a cutter and threatened to cut me with it. I'm still traumatized by it. He does it every time the class is very noisy. Until this day I cannot stand noisy places. And I'm already 20

[@yovanareyes8145]

I love your stories

[@gummibear1735]

I had the same experience as you Jenny in New Zealand when I was 11-12 which would've been 2010ish. I once missed swimming sports because I didn't want to swim so I lied and told one teacher I got my period and then a "popular girl" (one of those girls that no one likes) scouted over and asked me if I got my period. It wasn't her business anyway

[@chwoonie]

In high school I was such a bhudda. And not like that buddy you’re thinking. I was zen. The pops wanted to be around me; and that started from elementary. BUT! I always rooted for the underdog. I would invite people to my table, lol my, and introduce them to my friends. In the mean time when it was just us I would always encourage them to “be yourself, and fuck what other ppl think”. Till this day the quote on quote pretty ppl want to hang with me but I gotta just keep to myself. As an adult I don’t have time for the bullcaca and lies. I’m happy, I have my life, and I still root for the underdog. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mickeyleaks5947]

Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections and what you are doing [ whatever you are doing ] make you happy and inspire you to look more foward. So if this make you happy and through this you inspire others ones, collaborate with a team, in a perfectly tune of positivism. Don't stop ever! You will make great things... then be consistent, long-term happiness depends on your ability to notice and appreciate the details; you can hone that skill right now and now you are doing it so damm good. I heard you are pretty nervous and the anxiety is el pan nuestro de tu dia. Don't give a single shit to anxiety pleasure, enjoy your moment and the love, loyalty and support from your fans. Sincerely, Your nerdy follower Love xx

[@Moonlight-nd8bn]

im in 10th grade right now and i remember my middle it was not that crazy...no one really cared everyone just stayed with there groups...now high school 9th grade the hate started...but so far at least for me this year has gone better but then again it just started so who know

[@FlagCutie]

I have never been graceful, so sports were a big no-no for me. Enter my childhood nemesis. She was a dancer and had gorgeous curly hair. For some reason she felt compelled to always point out my shortcomings. "Look at Jessica she's so slow! "Oh look, Jessica fell again!" It started to get to me. My mom then told me she didn't care about stupid physical stuff. I went to school to get an education, and I was doing that correctly. I always got 9s and 10s. So for a while while I kinda started reverse bullying. "Jessica fell again!" "Yeah I did. Some of us actually gave gray matter in our skulls and can write a proper essay, not like you and your failing grades!" She eventually got the hint and stopped harassing me. Plus she didn't follow me and my friends to the new private school once we aged out of primary school.

[@libbymyers9284]

[@abbychavez4758]

SAMMME! I had a friend who told me it was cool to have started my period already (this was when I was in 4th-5th grade) LIKE WHY?! What is so cool about bleeding out of your Choncha and getting cramps for 5-7 days

[@NorryaParsa]

I was bullied growing up. I found out why when I actually graduated high school. Apparently, I was too busy with other ...ish (think about it) to be petty. My mom made damn sure I had something to whether it was a hobby, job, or chore..... This made sure I was doing something with my hands as well as my brain. I found out, through coincidence, the girls who bullied me didn't. At that age, young minds are still developing and growing. If the brain is going but the body isn't, the person will start shtuff.... Bullies are bored with themselves and need to work off the extra mental energy by starting crap!!!

[@Erika-vc9ly]

i feel you at an espiritual level!

[@ajolie_174]

This is very different from my class. I'm in 5th grade and already four of my friends have their period and are so mad they have it. They always say to me “you're so lucky you don't have your period yet".

[@ebisawkward]

I started shaving my legs for the first time in 6th grade cuz some girl in my gym class that I didn't even know was all like "you don't shave your legs yet???????". Kids do dumb shit.

[@Rei.Eatsfoods]

I was one of those girls who was kinda in between, I liked girly crap & nerdy crap. Girls were mean to me because I was odd. They'd make fun of my frizzy hair, if I didn't shave my pits and the fact that I had cleavage (which they obviously were jealous of,lol). They also made fun of my general interests & inverted personality. Nowadays, I like me, an realize how petty they were.

[@eireduchess]

Oddly enough I was bullied /for/ getting my period first. I was maybe ten or eleven and it happened at school and the next day this girl and some guy she was friendly with just took to bullying me the bit out because I had to go home because I got my period in school. Also I tended to tower over my classmates being a very tall child (and a very tall adult now) so they made fun of me for that too. Kids are so strange

[@anabenito489]

At my middle school it was the same. the girl with big boobs or skinny was more popular. even thou some were ugly but they had boobs. thats all it matter. i got my period at 13 but got boobs at 15. i was those tom boys that tried to look girly but had an ugly and fat body so guess who got bully alot. yes it got so bad that i started to ditch school and misbehave. After middle i started to work out and run and when i got to high school i was looking fine but i had my friend that use to tell me what to wear. she didnt like me showing my booms or over shadowing her. so yea. stupid me. then i met this girl who my guy friend had a crush on so i was his wing man/girl. so i talk to her and she was nice. two weeks after she saw me at the bhs stop and came up to me and we started to talk. my best friend got so jealous. than the new girl and me started to hang out and one day she told me i was a good kid but acting like a wanna be bad ass when i was with my best friend. she also told me that the way i dressed wasnt nice that i should try dressing less than my best friend n to be me. the next day at the bus stop i went with my own style. i saw alot of faces looking at me kuz i look diffrent. i curly my hair. put on eyeliner and lip gloss and was wearing a cute shirt with skinny jeans and my sisters cute boots. the new girl told me i looked joyful. on the other hand my best friend told me that she didnt like it and told me to not get to close to her. i snapped and told her what was her problem. she told me if i wanted to dress prettier than her then to find a new friend and pushed me. i told her fine , good luck finding another puppy. so i was standing alone waiting for the bus. when the bus arrived i waited for everyone to get on. then i sadly walked and looking for a seat but felt so diffrent. than i heard my name Ana. i turn and it was the new girl. she had saved her space for me. i was happy but scared like why she did this. on our way to school. they talked about how to improve their grades and advice on how to help others. i thought they only cared about looking pretty and guys and were stupid. the new girl told me that it didnt mean kuz ur pretty u had to be dumb. three months passed and i had i look and felt beautiful and guys would talk to me. then the ugly part showed off. i and my new friends were invited to this kick back my first kick back ever. so we got there and tbis hot guys were stripping and there was more girls that some i knew and some i didnt. when the strip show was over every guy got a girl and went to a room or disappeared. this guy tried to convince me to follow him but i felt uncomfortable so o ignored him but the new girl was missing. i was looking for her like 30min and found her in a room. it was locked i screamed to her we gotta go now. she said ok give me a min. we left but i saw her HiKi so told ask her u had sex and she said no, he just took my shirt off. she said Thank You and i told her lets make a promise that we will never go to a kick back again. she agreed and we turned best friends. i was popular for a year with the new girl. but my new best friend had to return to her home land. i was sad. i went back to school but the group wasnt the same without her. so i decided to change school. i realize that it felt nice being popular but whats the point. i got tired of caring what people thought of the way i dressed looked and acted. so on my new school i was looking for a friend i could talked to. i met gabby a emo/ rocker. idk we had different fashion visions but she understand me and never judged me. i like her personality and how visible she was. we trusted each other in a deep way. i ask her once why she only wears black she said this who i am. i remember what new girl told me to be myself. i hugged gabby and told her i love the way u are. we are still friends me and gabby but the new girl changed alot. i guess she met a new friend that encourage her to just be pretty and selfish. the thing i heard was that she got an abortion because she didnt wanted to ruined her body. since that day knew she was different. and stop talking. i learned that its ok to wanna look good but dont let it get out of hand kuz than u think ur better looking than everyone. and dont judge people by how they dressed kus sometimes they alot more similar to u than u think.

Ana Benito I can imagine that being the plot of a "coming of age" movie. I would like to watch it.

[@anabenito489]

latronqui Yes but there was alot of crazy stuff to stay popular. for example the drinking and drug use. im Latina, so i had to clean my house and cook and than get ready to go out with my friends. i didnt do my home work no more kuz i didnt had time. I dated cute guys even a Dj but i wasnt comfortable. i just didnt know who i was. Im a total different person now. trust me i use to be bullied, than turned into the Bullier, and when i met gabby i just hang with the kids that were being bully. i was happy with my weird nerd friends

[@david2.065]

Oh, putting other people down is not limited to girls I had a "friend" who constantly put me down. It ended with me being tired of one last joke, that I was an illegitimate child of my mother and her boss. And to add to that, he got me to apologize for something I didn't do, and posted it to a group chat as a joke (I had a good friend) It's just human nature. But boys find other ways to put each other down

[@marinamedinaa]

I was the bullied and unfortunately didn't have a clan of friends. I was mostly a loner up till high school. I was skinny, with buck teeth, hair always in a pony tail, always wearing turtle necks my mom would choose, and pulling around my rolly backpack. I cried easily and was pretty quiet, so I was an easy target. These days I'm still pretty shy and keep to myself but I'm trying to break out of my shell. But like you I was a nerd, living in my own little world I created in my head and still have a bunch of cute merchandise x)

[@cecilia08yeah]

kids loved to talk shit about me when I was little. "I was too fat, I wasn't smart, i wasn't pretty" thankfully I don't deal with dumb asses in college but I do have one annoying co-worker who thinks it's funny to talk about me behind my back. I know she's an attention getter and obviously needs some kind of void in her life. so now I have this saying: if someone has nothing better to do than to talk about you or start something with you they obviously have nothing better to do. they have no life or else they wouldn't be starting anything with you.

[@baggergurl16]

It wasn't until my early thirties that I began noticing that with each period cycle my period cramps were getting progressively worse and worse. I remember when I was younger my mom would tell me "I don't know why girls want to have that disgusting thing"( referring to the period). Then fast forward years later in my early thirties I'm up late at night double over the toilet bowl puking my guts out because of my period cramps and I'm thinking what my mom said holds a lot of truth to it.

[@laurabelette4336]

My teacher congratulated me when I told her I got my period 😂 i experienced the same things too since I grew up in Kendall

[@unknowndeoxys00]

I remember being bullied for my shorty height when I was 7 by the "new boy in class" I ended up having a crush on throughout middle school. Screwed up my self-esteem for the first time, big time, and remnants of my wishes to be taller still bug me to this day (5'0 here lol.) Managed to become ok friends with him since we both had a mutual liking of Pokémon and disgusting preteen bathroom humor, but the crush thing never blossomed. If I wasn't being super loner-ish, I hung out with him and the other boys since being around most of my girl classmates towards 8th grade were usually ingratiating. I just wanted to play my DS, while the girls would just giggle over boys and manga, and other "girly" stuff. I liked them and was friends with them at least, but could never relate. I was even questioned and teased by most of the 6th grade girls for a short time, just for having a crush on that boy. Not having a fellow female to relate to made my school experience somewhat lonely in itself, even if I did enjoy the guys' company more. When I was 10, just before middle school hit, the old "popular" girls of my little private school confronted me about sitting at their lunch table all the time. By then everyone had their own little friend groups/cliques, and I honestly looked up to them because of their coolness and the expectation that girls could easily make friends with other girls. Since they denied me I went my own way and never looked back, while they ended up transferring to a super posh school, perfect for their attitude. Don't think anyone was bullied for their periods though, which also makes no sense to me if girls do that. From what I've read in my Chicken Soup for the Soul books about teenage girldom :P, girls shied the hell away from bringing up bras and periods, at least in 2000s and earlier. In fact, I was the one who fucked up by announcing one of my classmate's period-having state to the rest of the 4th grade class. I felt bad afterwards for just blurting it out and not thinking how sensitive it was...omg. xD I want to hope kids are more informed and tolerant now, but bullying and body image shit still exists...picture-heavy social media, dammit.

[@naty2rc]

Lmao, the shaving legs period stuff really hit home for me especially since my mom would have me Nair my legs in 5th grade because I was basically Chewbacca and I got my period when I was 10 so I was the first one to get my period in my class. The period thing was hilarious when I think about it because there was one girl who pretended she had her period and would always have pads in the desk but she would never use them, which tbh I never noticed until I actually got the damn thing. I called her out on it and she had one of her guy friends stick gum in my hair because she was embarrassed.

[@animangachu96]

at the end of 8th grade a girl who i thought was my friend said "shut up, nobody likes you." while i was laughing so that really burst my bubble and i immediately started crying and went to a little corner. looking back on it now, (i'm turning 21 this year, yay) she was prolly just jealous of me. people did like me even if i was the quiet girl

[@etherealintoxicatedcanary9296]

I relate to you so much Jenny. I was a nerd too. I went to St. Brendan elementary/middle school school and I wasn't cuban so I felt left our with all the girls because they had a cuban only friend rule at my school. My parents were from Nicaragua, but I look white-asian mix because of my oval face, almond eyes, and hella pale skin. Since I was kind of on the emo side personality wise I was pretty lonely there. My worst years ever. One girl was like: "Your hair looks like a manstick"

[@daisyflores593]

I remember girls at my school would be talking about periods, boys, and makeup. and I was like the only 6th grader that was like what's a period since no one talked to me about it.

[@capricorngirl52405]

The girls at my school were beyond mean me to me. They really hated I got my period first in our grade. Someone had spilt fruit punch they cleaned it up, one of them grabbed it and started yelling look " Jessica got her period, like she's something special."

[@paolaviolet7]

Jenny your girls in school would hate me I got my period right before 12 and I also was bullied and didn't match and was always n my own little world we would definitely be in your nerd crew 💁🏻.

[@elizabethb4830]

It was the opposite at my middle school. The first girl with her period was treated like a pariah. "Oh my God she has her period. That is soooooo gross." Like it wasn't going to happen to everyone eventually.

[@evaespinosatohme9069]

I love this Jenny. I. Love . This. Every girl in the world should see this

[@ollyenriquez1931]

this is so relatable I was a nerd too. Still am. I was picked on for not shaving my legs as well. I was the weird girl because I liked to read.

[@ET23Edith93]

Girls have always been mean.. starting with my dads cousins who were around my age. Shit even my aunt. My aunt would do this thing where she would run ahead of me and then wait to "let me catch up" and when I would get close she would run again. I was like 4 and she would do this after church when we would go in the evenings through the dark streets. My dads cousins never wanted to play because they said I was a crybaby. In 5th grade even my best friends didn't want to talk to me because I talked to this girl that was friends with another group of girls that eran bien creidas in our class. All through middle school I was always the "ugly" or "fat" one out of all the little posy I hung out with. Even guys were mean, they would call me a bitch. And even a friends little brother would always call me fat and ugly. And another friend made me feel like guys would never like me because my boobs weren't as developed as hers. A friend of a friend told me that I was never gonna get a bf and that I would never get married either. In high school some girl hated me for dating her bf before her. The guy dumped me for her.. And when he dumped me he dumped me in front of his friends. And grabbed me by my jaw hard enough to hurt me, asking me to kiss him still. Asked if I wanted to date his friend. Then he started saying that I was fat and asking why I had hairy arms. Asked if I had a penis. Then sat me on a bench in front of his buddies and told me he was going to rape me while he got on top of me (fully clothed; nothing happened). I went to 5 different high schools. By my second I had taken a religious route, even changed my wardrobe and all .. and in the 3rd hs girls would always give me shit about the way I used to dress. I hated school so bad. I never want to go back. Kids in general are cruel.

[@RebelwheelsNYCShow]

I remember when we were in jr high school it was a real double edge sword. If you had yet grow boobs, ppl teased you and if you grew boobs, people teased for that too. I wonder what it's like now, as I'd like to think with the internet and all those tumblr blogs and such, that kids are a bit more enlightened and if someone was all like "ha ha you have boobs" someone else would chime in "Um, that's body shaming. Smash the patriarchy"

[@Mey1084]

I was born and raised in Westchester, well Jackson then Westchester. In elementary school I had girls picking on my friend for not getting her period yet. I hadn't either but since I was already taller than anyone in school and started to develop before anyone they assumed I had mine. I told them what's the big deal it's gross and painful. Thankfully they stopped messing with her. I thought it was the most bizarre thing. So funny that you went through that too.

[@audreygabbard432]

i actually think it is more like edna mode, which is awesome

[@Stephiness]

Omg.. I remember the period thing. Huge thing in my middle school too 😒😒😒 que dolor de cabeza..

[@optigana]

gracias por esto Yenny! abrazos desde Venezuela

[@SoBoTHERSoME]

It's funny cuz no one cared about periods in my middle school! And even when I did get my period eventually no one knew!

[@nicoleelocinolivieripagan6198]

i was bullied to the point where i ran into my classmates in college after a jangueo at 3am when i was getting drunk food for a friend and they asked me if it was past my bedtime. luckily i was not alone so i had a witness.

[@CloudxNight15]

jenni i love your videos especially the nerdy side of you!!!

[@deliaalvz2549]

when you adore above normal human capacity anime star wars and every school supply about Pokemon haha middle school was so fun !!! * sarcastic laugh * ..... oh and curly freaky hair and I would hear " hay que no te peinas ? " " no te da ancia ? " agarrate tu cabello , porque no te lo alacias " love your videos Jenny !!!!!!!

[@moraleskc]

Hilarious. This hit close to home. I'm so glad I get to laugh about this now.

[@Usagi.moon.power.]

omg Jenny this is so relateable!

[@chocobosage]

ugh kids, school was fun but also kinda sucked. It's weird that i can get nostalgic about that time and also be glad it's over with haha. But yeah i was one of the geeks, i once tried to do a Luigi jump from Super Mario 2 over a sandpit.... 😅 (that was messy) usually git picked on by the guys who thought hanging around bike sheds and pretending to smoke was cool.

[@cassandrea9091]

i friggin love you

[@rosamariapalacios18]

Ok so I know everyone loves watching stuff that is relatable and that shiii but the amount I relate to some of your videos is almost unsettling. I grew up in Miami (born in Hialeah grew up in Miami Lakes) and though I was lucky I was so far up my own imagination to totally realize how different I was, I was definetly made fun of and looked at as some weirdo cause fuck yeah I loved Lisa Frank, cartoons, star wars, playing with little frogs I found in P.E. and all that shit. And hair?! girl friend my mom thought she was a tremenda stylist and tries out her skills every year before picture day, what-a-freaking-mess. but yeah anyway thanks for making these creepily relatable videos. Especially since I now live in Kentucky and yeah no one knows how different and ridiculous growing up in the 3-0-5 is.

[@candyrox2023]

Nobody cared about periods where I grew up. They did care for where you shop or what type of music you listened to.

[@chri360]

Definitivamente Ms.Swan!

[@Lemonjessy]

Wow that's so strange to me. No one was bullied or teased for height or age in my year and for sure, no one was teased about whether they got their period or not. However, I do remember a girl asking me in year 5 or 6 whether I wore a bra or not and when I told her I didn't she said "well you should" which I guess was a little rude of her but I didn't really take it to heart.

[@ren8778]

The period thing wasn't a big deal in my school, in fact, the only people bullied in my two years of middle school was some boy that only stayed like, 2 weeks. I realize that the middle school I went to was really abnormal because no one was bullied, everyone was nice. In elementary, I was the girl who knew everyone and if someone decided to bully me randomly I'd have like, tons of people defend me. I mean yeah there were like two girls who decided to defriend me randomly but i would be like, okay and then keep hanging around my other friends. They never had a real power over me. And the whole period things, you only told your closet friends and I never actually told anyone so. xD

[@clemus]

Great video, Jenny!

[@kyleprosper8942]
