Hate is hate, and you shouldn’t rank it. They both received hatred for things that were, to an extent, beyond their control. Also, let’s keep in mind that Rebecca was 13, and Justin was 16. A thirteen year old does not have the social experience or social maturity to rise above hatred as well as someone who is three years older. Regardless, they both went on with their lives, and they are in a better position now.

I never bullied her or someone else for their music. I can only imagine, experience bullying in that amount at that age. Poor girl! Her song isn’t my kind of music, but why do so many people send hate, mean words and even threaten to kill someone, because of music, they don’t like?

I want to apologize to Ms. Black. When it first came out, I was a few years older than you (I think 15? 16?) and remember making fun of it in my private circles. I never posted hate comments on the video or any other places, but I did laugh at it, even though I thought it was catchy. Still, I'm sorry. If it eases the wound a little bit, I always thought the hate you were receiving was really, REALLY bad, and not fair at all. I am extremely happy to see that you are still alive. I hope you are thriving.

wow, I really admire her for continuing school and not deleting the video. Lots of times when I'm being faced with anxiety and nervousness about life, I go straight for the quitting option and forget entirely about the option to persevere. I actually just went through that this past week. I really felt God telling me, "did you remember that you can actually overcome this thing with Me?" Hahaha, love it when God gently speaks such simple yet profound words to us. He really loves us all so much. Just wanna encourage you all that you CAN persevere. God loves you and He did not bring you this far just to leave you here! He has never failed you, so why would He just start now? It's not in His character to quit on us, even when we quit on Him. "He is faithful even when we are faithless, for He cannot deny Himself." 2 Timothy 2:13. When weighing out your options, don't forget about the option to persevere. Remember, that our afflictions are temporary, but the endurance, proven character, and hope that comes from persevering is part of the eternal glory that far outweighs our afflictions! You truly can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Rely on Him wholeheartedly, because He is the eternal rock that will keep you firm and stable, and He wants you to rely on Him! He's got you, and "He will keep the mind that is dependent on Him in perfect peace, for it is trusting in Him. Trust in the Lord, for in Yahweh the Lord is an everlasting rock!" (Isaiah 26:3-4). Thanks for sharing your story Rebecca, Jesus loves you and He loves every single person here too! And everyone who helped make this video as well :) let me know how I can pray for you here!
