I reckon they only made this video so kids like me, who aren't popular, don't commit suicide... I honestly doubt that all the underdogs will become rich or famous or whatever one day... It's not getting better for the popular kids, but it keeps on being sucky for all the others too..

[@GnaugaJ]

I think it's actually a fairly accurate portrayal of what happens to self-absorbed people. Many times, they can't see past themselves and the way other people see them in order to understand what they truly need to do in order to be successful. Success is about understanding how doing whatever it is you want to do in an efficient and productive way - planning and marketing. So, you CAN be who and whatever you want to be in life - the downside to being what some would call "different" or "non-traditional" is that the number of people like you is smaller by percentage. So, to be successfully strange you have to try harder because you are *initially* appealing to a smaller group. It's just marketing. Nothing evil or weird or bad about it. Remember those self-absorbed people - they are followers and they're easy to market. o.0 One other thing... imho, well, actually it's a fact of psychology and business you can look up, most really rich or famous people are egomaniacs. Not something I would aspire to anyway. Don't let the public relations fool you, but use it to fool them ;)

[@mitchellfarragher6083]

StevieJJhall1997 i think that its true that it gets progressively worse for those who were underdogs in highschool. for me i had several teachers in highschool out of just curiosity ask why i havent commited suicide yet because of all of the things i had gone through. But its easier if you have people. as long as you have people who care about you youll be fine. for me i didnt. i live alone and have noone. i live on purely because i want to.

[@jgnmtz]

I feel ya Stevie.But I have to say that among my friends who got harassed ...they went on to be big time successes. I got the full monty and would say , I didn't do too badly.. On my second house.. Traveled to Hawaii 9 times while I was still young. Worked for multi-million dollar healthcare organizations in good positions (AT&T might be billions??).Traveled across the U.S. for work with meals and hotels paid for. Met lots of wonderful people and helped medical professionals learn difficult new software to help with patient visit charting, ordering, and followups. Loved what I did. Fell in love ..both times so deep I could feel heaven whenever we kissed (no drugs needed).. Still in love with my 2nd and after 19 years , I think he'll keep me LOL. Be blessed and look for the small stuff. High school is a blip. They won't hurt you if you leave it behind when its over. Fear drives people to do some crazy sh*t. Sometimes they come after the kids chasing the brightest future because maybe it scares them to realize.. 'uhoh i'm not going to. '

[@damian_smith]

StevieJJhall1997 and Mitch: I hope things have improved, and get better for you both. Of course there's no guarantee that being unhappy at school leads to yacht ownership, but there are opportunities out there, and the adult world does have less time for the bullies, and more for less-entitled peeps. There is also more scope for taking control - for example, you might be able to change your job, work for a charity, move to the countryside/city. I find it useful to reflect that people find happiness in myriad different lives - we are often brought up expecting family, kids, a house, an interesting job. That won't be what makes each of us happy, though. I won't pretend to know your life, or the challenges you've faced. But, be you, and know that even strangers on the internet care. There are also groups like "The Samaritans" in the UK, and equivalents elsewhere that you can turn to when things get tough. Don't be embarrassed - If you've survived tough times, you are stronger than you give yourself credit for.

10,000%. People don't like to admit it, but the single most important factor for success is LUCK. If you have it, you can try as hard as you want to ruin your life and the universe will step in to make sure that you succeed anyway. But if luck is not on your side, you can work as hard as you want to succeed, and successfully get many of the qualities necessary, but the universe will step in to make sure that you FAIL. I've seen it too many times to not believe it. People who are born into great circumstances and do everything in their power to screw it up, yet come out on the other side just fine. Meanwhile people who are not so lucky bust their butt and build themselves into beasts...only to have the universe throw up road blocks at every opportunity.

[@RedZeshinX]

There's no knowing or guarantees that anything will get better. The only sure thing is that they won't unless you at least try. Sometimes you've got to step back and look at yourself as a separate person, any person, somebody you might have met on the street, another poor soul you encounter out in the world, and ask yourself what you would feel for them. Pity? Sympathy? Hopes for something better? How would you help them, if you could? It's a shame that oftentimes we go through life with no better advocate for ourselves than ourselves, but that's just how it is. If you have some compassion to spare, some kindness in your heart to reach out and help someone in need, don't forget you're a person who might need saving too. When there's no one there to cheer you on, or push you forward, then find the goodness in your own heart to help yourself up. Not because you necessarily deserve better, but because you're human. It's in our nature to do good by others. Be good to yourself, too. Also, if you're in a financially secure position to do so, consider getting a pet cat or dog. Besides keeping you company, they'll bring good out of you and teach you more about yourself than you realize. It's incredibly easy to get caught up in thinking that the world you're in is all there is, but there's a lot that's hidden in plain sight that will help you grow as a person. One step at a time.

[@fuzzypanda1684]

Some people have their best years in high school. They're popular, attractive, athletic and have a great time, only to find that later in life, things get worse. Other people have the worst time in high school. They're not popular, attractive or athletic, and get picked on and bullied relentlessly, to the point they question whether they want to keep living or not. But later in life, they find themselves wildly successful, rich beyond their wildest dreams, and the memories of high school a distant memory. Then you have the ultra-lucky people who have a great time in high school, are popular, attractive etc. then go on to have a great life afterwards, full of meaningful relationships and a fulfilling career, making them more money than they ever thought possible. Finally... you have the last group. The people who suffered miserably in high school, were picked on, bullied and miserable...yet instead of finding success on the other side, are simply made to suffer after high school as well. They don't get a good career, don't get a good relationship, and realize that high school, despite the bullying, torment and torture, were the best years of their lives because at least then, they had hope and didn't feel like a failure. I know people in the first three categories, and I envy them all. Because I'm in the last group, and it's not a life I would wish on anyone.

I always thought of parties as big, gaudy, shallow social functions that people hold to either feel better about themselves or network for their own shrewd gain, but ultimately without any substance in them, as everybody's wearing a mask for their true intentions and psychologically holding each other at arms length. When I look back at all the get-togethers I attended in my youth it's easy in hindsight to see how illusory and meaningless they truly were, and in truth I felt it even while I attended them. None of those people are in my life now, as no true bond or connection was ever forged from those passing frivolities. The real stuff happens when you're just sitting together with a good friend chilling and sharing an intimate heart to heart about life. Those bonds may eventually fade with time, too, but they were real, mean something and built you as a person. If you've had that in your life, you're already better off than all the partygoers in the world.

School is a waste of time and money. My advice to a young boy these days is: just do the bare minimums in school and as SOON as you can legally drop out and get a job on a construction site as a general labourer, do it. You can work your way up and get a building trade. SCHOOL IS STUPID and it’s filled with STUPID people.

Honestly why cant everyone just not care about popularity and look at each other as equals? From the looks of the comment section, some outcasts during highschool stayed the same being adults and so did the populars become successful. There are also some outcasts who became successful and populars who failed. To me, i think popularity doesnt matter anymore. It all depends on who you really are. (Cant rlly say anything about highschool tho, its still my first year) Also how hard you work and how positive you stay. I mean like these popular kids are only popular because YOU said they were. Theres no official name tag or stamp on these kids saying "popular" on them. They're only popular because YOU CHOOSE to think they are. If they're douchey popular people then you should call them "BULLIES" not popular people. Oh and for the people who think the "bullies" are popular. Please just think they are "bullies" and not "popular" who likes the douchebag anyway? If they are mean then no one should like them. Obviously these bullies who are popular are living fake lives.

We didn't really have full on stereotypes at the high school i went to. At least not the bullying but still never felt like I fit in or enjoyed much of it. I did so many clubs and was in rotc and everything. I honestly felt like most of it was a huge waste of my time. Going out into the world after high school has been so much better. Finding really good people to be friends with and just interacting with people who arent fake. The only good thing I got out of high school was my cna which has helped me get experience at a job that is helping me get through nursing school.

[@tony___3077]

It doesn't get better for the truly nerdy and socially-awkward people either. The decrease in life that the popular kids experience in adulthood is what most lesser kids knew as their norm from the start. Both groups shifted down in quality of life, but the gap between the two is still the same. Relatively, nothing changes. Most guys in the latter category would love to have the lives the popular kids ended up having. I got straight As and got into medical school, but I never could even get a gf, let alone get laid 3 times in a weekend, even at a party college. It still hasn't changed now, going on 30 and never having anyone. Women don't want me, and have never wanted me, and I can't blame them. I've never been good enough and it doesn't matter what happens. I have major depression, no self esteem, no confidence, and have to take hardcore meds to function. It's all because it doesn't matter what you accomplish, you are who you are, and that is intrinsic and stays. I'm still awkward, ugly, short, and uninteresting, just with letters behind my name. You are still the same person you are in high school. Your role is defined. It doesn't get better.

[@JohnRoss]

There's a half-truth here. Those who excel purely on interpersonal dominance games fail spectacularly outside of an institutional environment. If they develop those skills into actual leadership skills, they can be quite successful. Often kids who are undervalued and unpopular in high school carry the seeds of greatness and personal success, if they can find, recognize and develop those qualities in themselves. But you will have the constant choice of how to define yourself and your relationship to your world. It doesn't "get better", but you can choose to make it better, and you probably have more power to do so than you think.

[@stephenjohnson573]

I know this video is probably for comedic purposes but really anybody taking any notice should realise it's a load of horse shit. I was bullied as a kid because I was a bit slow and behind, I didn't have any social skills and was quite anxious. I was alienated, insulted, was forced into situations where I had to fight. The whole experience destroyed my self esteem, I now have no job and can't hold a job when I do get one because the employers can't understand how my mental health works... I've seen people from school that gave me shit and they act like nothing ever happened, most of them have decent jobs, their own place and a girlfriend... While my life is a whirlwind of disappointment and frustration.

[@guittadabe5214]

High school sucked. I was an immigrant in a poor family and from a country in the middle of a civil war. I went to a public high school. Studied my ass off to get a scholarship as I knew my parents couldn't afford to pay for my college. My English was terrible so when I got good grades, kids made fun of my accent and bullied me. They even tried to bait me to get into fight with them. There was no risk to them as I was extremely scrawny. Teachers and administrators who witnessed the bullying did nothing. I knew if I got a disciplinary problem in high school I would not be accepted in college and all of the family's sacrifices would have been done for nothing. So I swallowed my price and kept my nose to the grindstone. I graduated 2nd in my school and was accepted to a prestigious university. You know what? Because we were poor, I received more financial aid than rich kids. It took me twice as long to study in a foreign language (English) than the other kids, but I worked hard to not wash out. I got one offer for work and kept working hard. I kept making smart decisions. When I saw the way divorced men were being treated by divorce and family courts, I made the best decision to never get married. At age 52 I had made enough $ to retire. Now I'm in better shape and in less stress than when I was in High School. I have wonderful friends and feel blessed. I try my best to be a blessing to everybody around me. Life did get better for me. Working hard, not making stupid mistakes, and leaning on my faith in my savior Jesus Christ in the toughest of times were the keys.

[@c0rxpseb0i13]

High school was shit for me too so much that I hoped everything would magically get better wasn’t bullied at all but I felt excluded everywhere I went from every crowd I was in a special aid class so that didn’t really help my case even if it was what I needed to pass through high school

[@iamsomeone8266]

Im the complete opposite of these people, i am a loner, who try rlly hard but who is depressed and is rlly sad, and yet, i still think this will be me. Oh, and i am also failing all my exams

[@findingstrength7401]

I feel the exact same way. Yup it has not gotten better for me and lately I've noticed that when I try to get better in life there's some strange supernatural thing takes place where I am always brought back to square one. I believe I have more than one person who wants revenge on me or just to use me as motivation for their success. But yes it has not gotten better at all. I feel like a follower now and I turned out to be what i feared. I have hopes of things getting better but I'm wondering if I should just forget things getting better altogether. A lot of people can't wait to prove me wrong or to prove they are better than me or more developed than I am. I have had so many bad rings happen to me on top of people not caring about that but just wanting to see me fail all the time and if there is a God he seems to be on the same team as my enemies and is in on it with everyone else to bring me to a perpetual end of constant embarrassment and failure.

[@violetsky5943]

Regarding the comments arguing that it does get better for bullies sometimes...whatever wealth they may have materialistically, I guarantee you (from dating or friending people like that & then eventually ditching them), they are not actually happy. Not deeply, or in a way that lasts. Anyone who causes someone else pain is just covering up their own insecurities or feeling of lack. I've even had a few of those people admit that to me. And all the studies show that happiness comes from purpose & not focusing solely on ourselves (apart from self love). Bullies don't have purposes that fulfill them. Or self love. And if they happened grow into better humans that genuinely do serve others, that's just a win for humanity.

[@SevenMinaya]

Adapt to life. Work on yourself. Never give a fuck about what others say. And most importantly, don't wallow in self-pity. That's the solution to life. The untold way to success and a good like - it's something that everyone knows deep down: getting your shit together.

[@juratory8876]

Life is working out for me pretty fine. I graduated from high school at the top of my class, got accepted into my college's school of Art+Design, am currently doing a paid graphic design internship with my aunt (soon to be a full-time job) and am living pretty comfortably. And I was a bit of an outcast. Some of the kids who I didn't get along with, on the other hand, ended up getting their acts together in order to graduate on time. Others of them are currently being held back in high school due to their poor grades and unwillingness to mature and get their work done. Suffice to say, life has always been great for me and it'll continue to get better for me (especially because of my optimistic personality and drive).

[@mycanadianlife1608]

Super happy for you it does get better one needs to look at the positive

[@bibsma3401]

Well, eventually you'll die like the rest of us sinners, and meet a Holy God. Your optimism, and drive won't do much for you then. Nor your pride of life. Hopefully, you will accept the free gift of salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ which is the only way out of ending up as a worm in a lake of fire forever. It doesn't get better and better for the unsaved. The reality is something like reverse evolution, but much worse. If you pray and trust Jesus as your savior, get yourself a KJV Bible, stick with it, and it will save you a lot of trouble in the world, and in the many deceptions in false christianity. God Bless. Romans 10:9

[@DavidGreen34]

I dunno, I used to consider myself a super optimistic person. And life has a way of beating it out of you. I think that rather than tying your success to work or your social status, tie it to things that matter, while you still are able to.

[@TherapistMike3]

Jason, first I'm a couples therapist and love your not about the nail. Use it all the time. Good work. Second, this is a good video, and what most people posted miss is that it's not saying that popular people are bad, the key line is "If you're developing a persona more than a personality and if you lack 'empathy'. Without those, you become self-absorbed. It's my belief that God gives us gifts such as money, popularity, fame, beauty, talents etc. to help people. I'm a blessed man, I hope I am blessing others because of it.

[@Ponk_80]

It’s all a matter of perspective, my life has gotten a million times better, because of the way I view the world, and how much I found love and beauty in the simplest of things, plus I worry a lot less now that I’m no longer an insecure young teenager.

[@rohinikumar7972]

I was the unpopular kid. I was the project of the so called "popular kids" who wanted to feel better about themselves. They shat on me for the smallest things. I dropped school a little early on and got homeschooled. I then joined college, and my life was different. I looked different, I was a different person, and I got a different treatment. I thought my college was full of good people, but eventually guys from my school, including the popular ones started reaching out. I realised, I wasnt a fat patsy in the eyes of people anymore. I still feel like shit for most of the time. The only thing that gives me hope is bojack horseman and listening to jcole. A lot of people can't predict what my life was like, but I have the shittiest self image. And I still feel scared around people at times. Honestly, it doesn't get better for the unpopular kids either. But there are years ahead of me, so there is hope.

[@charda01]

When i see this video i feel rinvigorated and ego -boosted but also empathy because everyone of us will feel humiliation and failure . Traits like stupidity/intelligence are just a appereance of our nature at the end and our egos can just see what is superficial in others because we need a form of validation .

Ive never done anyone wrong and never hurt anyone and i treated her better than anyman she had. I feel like i lost everything. I literally think of suicide and dying every day.
