[@sweetshot782]

Can we all just give Mal one big internet hug please? I love you Mal!

[@sykotiksonik]

I second that

[@jmannky402]

+Sykotiksonik all in favor?

[@Sierracat7807]

i'll join you, friend.

[@Zeldamaster45321]

Agreed.

[@sapphireannahope8121]

Hugs Mal

[@faefauna1339]

Hello! I don't know if this is gonna be really weird and probably not very appropriate, and I'm probably not making the best decisions right now, BUT nevermind that! I am one of the students that went to that particular high school. Mrs.Georg (or Mal, I guess now..) was, with a doubt, the at most BEST teacher I'd EVER had. Probably the most inspiring teacher I'd had, and she was pretty much my role-model. She was caring, and very gentle with ALL of her students and cared and talked with everyone. I wasn't much of a talker most of the time, and I wholeheartedly regret that. She was an amazing teacher, and I loved taking her classes. I was shocked that she wasn't on my schedule this year, and I knew I'd immediately request for her, but I was shocked to hear that she'd left. I heard students talking negatively about her in different classes, and I always was furious with them, because I knew how great of a person and teacher she was. I recently found out about Stephen's channel around my 2nd Art class with her (Kinda creepy, I know), and I felt kinda bad, honestly for not saying or doing anything about it. I recently saw Mrs.Georg and Stephen come to my class, and I was excited to see her and him! (Thanks for complimenting my shirt BTW) But I didn't say anything, really because I didn't really think it was appropriate at the time, I do regret it though. Anyways, as your previous student, I fully agree with your decision and I hope that you will both stay happy and healthy. -Antoinette J.

[@MalMakes]

Antoinette, you are amazing, talented, and I know you'll do great things. I wish the best for you and I regret not being able to see your skills grow this year. I totally thought you guys were having a test when I stopped in last week :X Please keep in touch and tweet me art every once in awhile :) -Georg

[@Surl9596]

+MalMakes I'm so sorry for what you've had to go through

[@BrandonTheBicon]

why can't there be more people like you in this world?

[@professorwho7940]

This isn't creepy at all! Thank you for sharing this with us and I'm glad you were one of the good students she had. I don't understand how anyone could insult a sweet and creative person. Mal I hope you can be happy now with you decision and find another job that you will enjoy.

[@mlpfanboy1701]

@mew fawn *standing ovation* more people like you are needed. I have a mother who is a teacher, there so under appreciated for what they do.

[@DTennantsCompanion]

Kids in high school are vicious, Mal. I know you should never say you understand how someone feels because you never walked in their shoes, but I can tell you that I've experienced similar cruelties as a student and saw the same cruelties happen to my teachers. It's disgusting. Sending all the love, Mal! (And I wasn't joking when I said earlier on twitter that I would love for you to be my art teacher. You're an inspiration.)

[@EpicGamerSetzuna]

They usually are. I am glad that I am out of it. I hate to say, but they are unnecessarily cruel at times, and it gives teens/highschoolers everywhere a terrible name.

[@7dog123]

They would be vicious if they had my old High School Principal. If he gives you a paddling you better pray that no one hears the loud pop. That is how hard he'd gives paddling and trust me they hurt like hell.

[@Shadowninja8]

a similer thing happened to my math teacher when i was in high school. everyone treated him like crap. he quit and no one got punished. its terrible.

[@koreankamui98]

As a person who recently graduated from high school, I agree, though in my experience, there are the exceptions.

[@AriZonia]

I had that happen to my chemistry teacher junior year. My class was the only one of FIVE that treated him nicely, in fact he didn't even quit at first. He went away for a week and then he came back and my class was the only one to welcome him back before he resigned.

[@lukasmeggs5857]

one thing I noticed was that she was looking at you the entire time. she sees you as an incredible anchor, and you can see how much she values your support and love. you might not be rich in dollar sense but you two are so rich in support and love that it seems like you can pull through anything

[@moments5932]

this aged so well, i always admire how they look at each other, it looks like they feel complete with the other’s presence, im think of how back when they were dating in the vlogs and when seperating at the airport, they dont look back when walking away from each other, fast forward to now❤

[@pokemonstarfoxpie]

One thing I noticed, is that a teacher does not need to have a classroom, a lab, or a studio, they merely need the passion.

[@theelephant2117]

As a current high school student I can vouch that High Schoolers are vicious. They've reached a point where they feel as if they're completely matured even though our brains are still developing. Elementary kids shouldn't be as bad

[@Nooblordqt]

Yeah high school kids are terrible people, it takes a lot for me to calm myself and to not kill anyone who i find annoying

[@gregorygrammery1594]

All highschoolers as assholes, no exceptions. It's literally where dreams go to die.

[@jacobbradshaw52]

Wishing for the best Mal.

[@shuphtybaggots4690]

I wish I had a teacher that played the Mother series!

[@sleepy_jean]

Yeah. I hear so many students talking trash about teachers and it bugs me. They're always so mad about teachers being teachers. How is loving to teach viewed as a bad thing?

[@sammi2418]

Mal seeing you about to cry and tear up makes me so upset like I want to hug you. you're so sweet.. you deserve so much respect with the kindness and the caring you give everyone I'm so sorry this happened to you. I always stood up for my teachers when students would disrespect them in highschool. You're amazing and your artwork is amazing. I honestly wish I had you as my art teacher in highschool haha take care you guys!

[@Luffz]

Exactly, Mal's awsome!

[@TheMewsurper]

+Harry Singh Mal is the best, she is so sweet and caring i cant see how anyone could be mean to her

[@Luffz]

+The Mewsurper ikr, im not Christian but im sure theres a circle in hell waiting for them.... goddam drop outs, you just know there gonna work at macdonalds... #SaveMal

[@TheMewsurper]

+Harry Singh i am not christian either but satan is watching them with a bowl of popcorn saying "yep laugh it up assholes, you will pay for being so mean to poor Mal"

[@Luffz]

+The Mewsurper 👌👐🙌

[@donniee146]

I bet Mal was one of those teachers that are life changing. Teachers like you Mal are far and few between. The public school systems all over America are dark places but educators such as you are the light that a student 20 years from now will still be thinking about how you influenced them positively.

[@josephballesteros5064]

Well after that 20 minutes Stephen you are a good husband the decision was for Mal's own good just to see her with a spring in her step and a genuine smile shows you both did the right thing Mal I'm sorry for the ordeal but honestly as a faceless fan of you and your husband I think your happiness is most important and it doesn't hurt to cry or reflect just accept where you're at now and be positive~ Heh maybe she should teach me to color I've always sketched and inked but haven't had the confidence to color my art ha ha

[@EpicGamerSetzuna]

I agree! If I had an art teacher even slightly as fun and passionate, I would be happier than anyone could ever imagine.

[@dawnoftime6424]

Same, I like sketching but I cannot shade for the life of me. I don't know why, I understand the idea but I just can't put it on paper :P

[@Goron50]

I have to give Mal much respect for being so strong in managing for this long, being under pressure for so long. Her love is real, as well as her passion. I hope you continue helping and teaching people in your own way, we need more people like you in our lives. If you're reading this Mal, continue to be yourself, you are awesome!

[@Conker3000]

Mal is such an inspiration. I could never hold the level of creative ability she has in a million years but I am inspired by her.

[@xantiqua5844]

I haven't checked out Mal's channel yet, but I'll make sure to watch all of her videos today!

[@nicholasyuen5561]

You should. Her artwork is amazing :D

[@NYBredBamaFed]

Her channel is definitely worth checking out. Her paintings are of high quality, which is impressive because of two reasons - One, because she was a full time teacher at the time her channel began and two, because she had not done much painting (of an actual painting) prior to MalMakes. Now that she can devote full time to her channel it will be interesting to see what else can she accomplish, including stuff besides painting.

[@jmannky402]

+Nicholas Yuen I agree. especially her DKCR painting

[@Zelda345able]

The detail and realistic aspect of her paintings is AMAZING.

[@Surl9596]

Make sure Adblock is off lol. They could sure use the money

[@tdsm99]

5 MINUTES IN AND I ALREADY WANT TO HOLD ON TO MAL LIKE A KOALA TO A TREE BRANCH

[@hockeymonkey11293]

Mal, I have been an artist since I was a little girl when my grandmother began taking me to her pottery painting classes. I studied art all throughout high school and after 3 years of an art program at the local community college, I got the chance to finish my Bachelor's degree at a four year art school. While over the last few years I have been in love with graphic design, I have always had a deep love of painting. I've watched every single MalMakes video. I always start by watching the full version and then watch the time-lapse version afterwards just because it's so much fun to watch how you paint. I have watched several of your videos multiple times. Most of the time I sit there in awe of your confidence with the canvas and the beautiful images that emerge. Even after years of art-related schooling, I still find myself learning new things because of you. You are phenomenal at being about to teach both beginners and experienced painters. Today, before this video was even released, I went out and bought natural sea sponges and brush cleaner. I have been desperate to get back into painting since I first started watching you and I have wanted to try my hand at the techniques you teach. Nothing is quite as inspiring as watching you paint. I tell random strangers about your videos and tell them what techniques you showed me. Thank you. Thank you for inspiring me to pick up a paintbrush again. Your classroom might not be a conventional one, but I can assure you that the students who gather here love you very much and have a great admiration for everything you do. With love, Meg

[@isetmfriendsofire]

After seeing the thumbnail, the whole time I was saying, "Ohhhhh nooooooo, Mal, please don't cry in this video." D':

[@ssbac98]

me too :(

[@kyyowa129]

+TheGohan10000 nice prof. pic, also really sad but good video

[@Mapler459]

Just seeing the thumbnail was heartbreaking, mal is so sweet and kind

[@REDH0UND01]

Mal, you made the right decision to leave. Even though I'm only a Freshman and just started high school, I can already say that high school in general, whether it be teaching or being an actual student, is hard. With you having to deal with such hard (I couldn't think of another way of saying it) students/ tribulations, I can only imagine how difficult that must have been. You are so strong for dealing with that for as long as you did, and again, I can only imagine the struggle you had/ have to go through leaving those students who really cares about you behind, but the ultimate decision of leaving will be better in the long-run. If I had a Patreon, I would definitely support you both, as not only do you need it, but you guys deserve it. And with another sort-of transition, Stephen, you are such a good husband for helping Mal with these problems, and I can only imagine what it must have felt and looked like seeing the love of your life pretty much deteriorate in front of your eyes. I wish the best of luck for the both of you, and if I may say this - keep your head up! Now, I shall end with an Internet huh to the both of you, and if anyone wants to join, feel free! *Squishes with hugs*

[@REDH0UND01]

Good lord, I did not intend that to be so long

[@Sierracat7807]

+Mady Emory I'm a sophomore this year, and I just want to say, brace yourself. 10th grade (according to everyone I know) is the hardest year, and so far, I agree. also high school students are so rude ;n;

[@dumpsterdog879]

+Sierracat 7807 believe me, ACT testing is a whole other load added in your junior year.

[@LostInAScrapbook]

+Sierracat 7807 I'm a junior and sophomore year wasn't to bad junior is where most of the pressure is

[@MechaPro93]

Your grammar is A1 for a freshman, bro!

[@mckenziemewtwo]

The way Mal looks up at you is beyond adorable, I've noticed it in other videos but in this one especially you can just see the love in her eyes, can near feel it. That is what I want in life, someone to love and look at me in that way. You both are like the best couple and your story is beyond inspiring and amazing. I loved going through the Journey and seeing your relationship growing from the Skype calls, to engagement, to the wedding and now to this. It's amazing. Good luck in the future Mal, sounds like it was a necessary step forward for you both. Kids, especially teens can be horrible.

[@TheSportsGuy242]

While I cannot even remotely begin to imagine what you are going through Mal, I understand the feeling you are going through. About a two years ago I was employed by my first real high level journalism job. I was so excited to take my craft to the next level. Starting out there was awesome. I was improving, I was having fun and I was gaining more experience in my craft. When a new boss for my section took over, it all went to hell. I lost all interest in my job and what I thought was my passion. I was constantly being put down saying I was not good enough. Constantly trying to compare me to the national award winners and why I didn't even remotely stack up to them. I felt like I was in hell. I worked my hardest to try and improve, but nothing ever came from it. About a year ago, I finally got a bit of a promotion to do more work. I felt this was my chance to get back up and make my presence known. In fact, it only got worse. Nothing but harsh critics in our bosses lead to depression and a lack of motivation for my own craft. One day, they pulled me into the office and decided that I was no longer a good fit for them and they let me go. I was heart broken as I felt like this was my end. This was where my journalism career would stop. I understand that you resigned and that has got to be a million times harder. This story does have a happy ending. Through a friend of mine, I found a new outlet that I could continue having my work published. Out of options, I followed him to a meeting and eventually was hired on the spot. I still work there a year later and absolutely love it. I now one of the top sports writers for my branch. My work is constantly published and noticed by many people. What I am trying to say, is the age old moral of when one door closes, another one opens. Well, it's true. Sometimes, all you need is just a skeleton key. :)

[@Surl9596]

You seem like a great person with a great passion. Good luck fellow stephenite

[@QueenOfJustKidding]

I've been watching your vlogs for years and I don't comment that often, but I felt the need to say something for this one. Mallory: you are a beautiful, strong, intelligent, talented young woman. I'm so sorry for what you went through in the classroom. Kids are so cruel. The fact that the school did nothing for you is a shame. It's their loss. Your passion for teaching is evident in the vlogs and MalMakes. I know absolutely nothing about drawing or painting (only stick figures for me!) but watching your videos makes me feel like I can. Your art is incredible. I have no doubt there will be wonderful opportunities for you in the near future. Any school and classroom would be lucky to have you. The students who love you may be upset to see you've left, but just know that you've touched their lives forever. All it takes is for one teacher to encourage, support, and spark creativity in their art and I guarantee you are that teacher for so many of your students.

[@kayleighhennessey5296]

I'm so sorry to hear what Mal has had to go through. I got into painting about 2 years ago. I was starting to lose passion for it and wasn't sure if I wanted to continue when I watched the first episode of MalMakes. Not only did Mal get me back to painting but now my paintings have improved from techniques I learned on MalMakes.

[@drakedraggin1256]

Mal, if teaching is what you love, then try being an art professor at a college. You'll be teaching mature adults who love art enough to want to make it their future, so they'll share your passion for art, and will respect you as a fellow artist, as they are adults, so they do have respect for others.

[@Surl9596]

+Atzin Garcia nice rhyme. And I also agree

[@b4itstarted]

I've found that a lot of the community college professors that I have run into just have a BA/BS. Maybe a high school art school or some kind art camp in the summer? Or start a community art class once or twice a week? get those AP/IB art classes?

[@angelsinthewindow]

Just a small heads up, not all Art Teachers at collages get the respect they should too.... Do you really think kids right out of High school would be any different then kids in high school? I went to a Art Institute in Portland and saw a lot of problems there with respect even if we were paying for the classes. I do agree that there are more mature adults in collages, but its still not safe from what she had to go though in the other school.

[@BaconNuke]

plus mal is like a really good artist and she would have to really dumb down alot of things to be able for it to be taught to that young of children

[@er5624]

DrakeDraggin' that is a intelligent,smart,amazing idea.

[@AnimeHero92]

Mal From the first day I watched Stephen's vlogs, you have been on of my favorite people in the world to watch on youtube and I've always been a huge fan of you and Stephen for all your work and time in videos. From the first vlog I watched to every funny moment of the journey, you have been an inspiration for joy and success in life. MalMakes is one of the best channel's on youtube because your passion, time, and kindness make everyone feel welcomed online. You are such a talented, kind, smart, and powerful person and I'm so sorry and sad you had to experience this. Teaching means the world to you and sometimes, students can be the worst! I hate when passionate educators like you have to deal with so much negativity from people when you wake up each day with goodness in your heart. People can be mean and suck in life and as a fellow kind hearted person, it's hard to deal with this because you work so hard to make the world a better place. The work of a teacher is such a hard job and as someone who has had amazing teacher's, I can say you were born to do this and are a joy to the entire field. Sometimes, life can throw some hard moments at us but it's just a reminder that we should follow our life passions and keep being happy. You reached so many students and people online with your smile and kind personality each day and that means a lot more. As someone who never does art or paint, just watching your videos game me confidence to even try as I can see a little image of you saying "Don't give up, you can do it" and that alone is one of the many reasons why you're awesome. For you both to make this decision is great because your health, happiness, and good will mean more than any job and I'm so glad that you and Stephen's love for each other will help during this hard time. I hope when you read this message, it helps to think of the amazing times you made the world laugh for just being you on vlogs or the kind notes you get from mail videos each month. With the love of Stephen, Your Family, Friends (like the amazing Hayley :), The Cats, and more, you will be so successful. Fans of the channel will do what we can to support you two and root you on as a successful youtube family. The good news is, this means MalMakes is now going to be one step closer to the #1 youtube channel (tied with Stephenvlogs and Stephenplays of course) Thank you Mal for being you each day, making awesome meals for the vlogs, and being a great cat mom for Sagan and Kepler. You are amazing and remember that this moment is just another step towards your future success. Stephen, thank you for being an amazing person and I wish you both the world of happiness. To my favorite painter and one of the best teachers ever... Thank you Mal and keep working hard to be yourself each day. You matter and are amazing.

[@hannaha777]

Mal, you are so so so brave and an incredible teacher. Working in that environment for that long and then even launching MalMakes on the side, it shows your character and what a hard-working, passionate person you are. I'm happy to say that I'm one of your top tier patrons, especially now knowing all of this. I'm so happy you're pursuing this full time and that we can help you and be a part of that. You two are the only reason I'm on KZbin daily and I thank you for all the beautiful work you do. Congratulations Mal, this next chapter of your life will be an interesting and great one :)

[@ladyjuxtaposition]

Hugs, hugs, hugs, I'm giving you all hugs right now. I had no idea you were an art teacher and now it made sense considering the awesome paintings you have done in your videos, which I enjoyed them very much and learned so much from them too! :) For instance, using chalk to add in lines to plan your next painting area, it's pretty neat. Mind blown really. I don't know what kind of encouragement or advice I can give you because I don't experience similar ways in your shoes, but I do know that your happiness is far important and there is no way you can sacrifice it. You are very fortune to have a loving caring husband, and that is something money cannot buy. Upon knowing now, I am willing to help you in any way I can and I plan to buy some prints of your work when I get my next paycheck. Until then, keep on being awesome, Mal! You're an amazing gal! :D

[@Whyelephantsafraidofmice]

I seriously hope that Mal and Stephen continue to grow on KZbin and everything works out great for them. Also with how much work they put into their KZbin projects, they really deserve to have many more subscribers and views.

[@robinthedeliveryboy.8304]

This vlog still very heart broken even all this years, but, I glad to see Mal overcome it and keep her passion for art and teaching going firm and strong, she embodies the profession really well.

[@jamiebates5522]

I was a Math tutor for 4 years, all teaching certainly is a thankless job at times. It's a real shame since passionate teachers like Mal are really pouring their heart and soul into trying to help other people; you are directly trying to improve the life of another human being and give them the best chances in the future. It's a very selfless endeavour, and you deserve a lot of respect for sticking it out for so long.

[@bowkatiewow]

High school can be awful. I have PTSD because of what happened to me in high school. Mental health is just as important as physical and I'm glad you recognized that and got out of a bad situation. Mal, your videos have made me want to start painting. Every Mal Makes I watch I want to pick up a brush. You're a fantastic teacher. For every bad student you have ten fans and students that love and admire you. I'm going to practice and send you something I made from everything I learned watching your videos! ❤️

[@MissTraceyAnn]

Seeing you both teary eyed hurt my heart in the worst way. I think you're both very brave so many people are too afraid to do what's best for them if it means losing a steady income. You're happiness and safety should always come first. Don't lose sight of your dream of a house I believe in my heart that it will happen for you guys. Mal you are so sweet and kind the thought of anyone doing anything to purposely hurt you is hard to swallow. Don't lose faith you're an amazingly talented artist and good things will happen for you. High School is hard for everyone even the teachers and kids are really mean I would have loved to have an art teacher like you when I was in grade school if you ever do decide to go back would you consider teaching at a lower grade level? Sending you Stephen and the kitties my love all the way from Long Island NY xoxo

[@kholoodmohamed6465]

Mal I hope you have a great time on your channel and your new career of teaching.

[@synthetic20]

Mal, you are a wonderful human being, and I hope that you can find the happiness you deserve in your new career path. Thank you for sharing your story with us. It must have been really difficult.

[@blazalchemist]

Man, I love you guys. I haven't been able to keep up with the Vlog's as much as I'd like as of late, but this definitely sounds like the right call. The way you two support each other is nothing short of amazing. I can't say I know what you're going through, but I still have sympathy towards the situation. Mal- Know that even though you had to leave, you impacted each and every kid in a positive way, likely changing their lives for the better. Even the kids that were... problems. And the kids that adored you will remember you for the rest of their lives. Leaving doesn't hurt them, you already did your part. And, likely, went above and beyond to do so. Great teachers such as yourself are the most wonderful gifts to a student, thank you for participating in that system. Your work on MalMakes is incredible, and teaches me new things every video. I'm always blown away by what you create. Please, keep it up. The good work, and the happiness.

[@rekc_bcq4816]

Mal I hope for the best in your KZbin endeavors your painting is awesome. You know if you want to still do teaching, in KZbin you could do tutorials. I would watch them. I'm very excited to see what's coming.

[@thoughtsofaleo2916]

She does have a series called Intro to Painting, which is basically a tutorial session! Also, would recommend those videos, really helpful and engaging! :D

[@Lockz1111]

That'd be a cool thing to use with my fundamental arts class

[@MiamiDolphinsfan4]

Good for you two taking this huge leap into the unknown, Stephen it is very great seeing how much you care for Mal and how sure you are about this decision make me believe it was right for you two. I am of the belief that everything happens for a reason and I am very happy that you two are happy. Mal I wish you luck in your "new" career. Your paintings have really impressed me and you are a fantastic artist. Can't wait to see more!

[@christinaanderson5806]

I...I can't even try to picture how hard it was for you. I recall in one vlog you did mention that Mal had a hard time at school one day but refused to go into details. That enough was hard to watch but...But knowing that its been going on almost every day for every year? I think you made the right choice. I adore the both of you, the brightness that you both have and how much you love each other - I started crying within five minutes of this vlog. I am about to cry just typing this. But knowing how hard day after day was for Mal is just heartbreaking. But I believe in you two - I am sure you can make this work and I agree with Stephen - Mal's health and sanity is much more important then any amount of money. While I cannot support you on Pateon (curse being only 19) but I will always support you both in spirit, love and views. You both mean so much for me and its just...Really hard seeing how hard things have been for the both of you behind the scenes. You both are amazing and I always await excitedly for the next videos from all three of your channels.

[@Lilmrsmurder]

Mal, you did the absolute best thing. I was an aide on the elementary level and it was horrible and I went home crying more days than not, the way the school operated, the way the kids were. I was assaulted by children intentionally. I saw kids bullied to the breaking point and we were not allowed to raise the concerns, it breaks a person. You have to do what is right for your mental state. You are amazing!

[@thatoneguy1574]

When I went to my first high school, i had a lot of teachers, like Mal, who loved kids and what they did. Over the year, you could slowly see some give up, break down, or even cry because of the kids that were there. So many kids were so toxic and rude towards the teachers. Us Stephonites are behind you Mal, and we'll do everything we can to support you two with your career.

[@ambermigliore8006]

I got home from marching band and I was about to do homework and I saw this video and I had to watch it. i started on Stephen plays and I just love you guys. I feel so for you guys, especially Mal, and I feel like you did the right thing. When I saw your content I wanted to support you in any way I could. Now I want to do more and as soon as I can I will. Keep doing what you are doing. I will love your content no matter what as long as you as per don't change. I truly love you guys.

[@BrianNguyenIHASDACANSER]

looking back at this vlogs is really touching. I'm glad that you guys have a house now. I hope that you guys have a much better 2017!!

[@rakoner2794]

It's so very unfortunate what you had to go through Mal. With all that's been shown on the vlogs and your videos, you truly are a wonderful teacher. Keep on creating and doing what you love!

[@TwilightKing432]

Mal, I'm so sorry that you had to put up with such horrible experiences. Speaking as someone who just graduated last June, high school kids are vicious. You're so wonderful and so talented and you seem like the brightest ray of sunshine... I can't possibly imagine anyone being rude or disrespectful to you. I love MalMakes more than you can possibly know, and what both you and Stephen have done for me in terms of putting smiles on my face and keeping me sane in the hardest times is something I can't possibly repay you for. Thank you for being an inspiration to me (I'm even considering picking up painting, I just have been so short on time), and I wish you all the best. All the love to you.

[@paulbaisden248]

I just want to say that I'm super proud of you, Mal. Taking that step is hard, but happiness is the most important thing in life. Without happiness at every point in your life, you end up lost. I thing you're an amazing artist and teacher. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see what the future brings for you. Keep your head high and take opportunities where they fall.

[@coderwilson]

I'm so happy for Mal that she has the opportunity to rejuvenate her passions! I also recently left a teaching situation where there were a number of problems with the job situation and I understand how hard that can be. I'm so glad that you're staying positive through the transition and will continue to support both of you when we can afford it. Keep your head held high and stay positive, you will get through this with the support of all your friends and family. P.S. still love the skyrim dragon painting you made, hoping to get matching phone cases with my wife someday soon.

[@scifywriter9768]

Keep doing what you guys are doing. Leaving something so mentally destructive was a great decision. I hope Mal continues make even more amazing art and is happy. A friend told me this recently, and I think it pertains to you, as well: Your mental wellbeing is the most important thing in your life. Do what you need to do to stay healthy and happy. Love watching you guys. Keep being awesome. I wish I could help more, but right now all I can do is watch your videos and cheer you on.

[@matthewanzalone3919]

Thanks for shareing your story. Its not easy telling anyone(let alone the internet) about the negaive experences you are dealing with.

[@linhdinh3861]

Huge props to both of you guys, this decision must've been tough on both of you. You guys are wonderful people, full of energy, brimming with creativity, and it always bring a smile on my face seeing both of your videos. Stephen, you are a excellent husband to Mal, looking out for her, playing with her, and helping her in her time of need. This was a big decision for both of you and I think you've made the right choice. Mal, you have my full support on this new path you're taking. A suggestion; maybe Mal can do basic tutorial videos on art. I know she has the "Bob Ross" do-it-yourself videos but maybe can do small basic painting tutorials like layering a canvas, the information about the color wheel, etc.

[@tyriquesmith8850]

Take this as a lesson everyone, just in general, try to be nice, you never know how the way you act might effect someone else's life. Be considerate of other people's feelings and make sure that you tell the people you care about that you appreciate them, it could go a long way.

[@darko-hexar]

Best of lucks in your work, Mal! I'm sorry it had to be such a drastic change, but if it's for the best, like Stephen says, then it'll definitely pay off and that's what matters! I'll still never forget that I started drawing because of Malmakes, so I'm forever grateful on that front!

[@SteamboatWillow]

You've been such an inspiration to me, Mal. For almost four years I think! I want to be a teacher myself one day, and every year, I look forward to vlogs about you talking about school (like the supplies swap and such). Along with that, I was bullied brutally when I used to live overseas. I came home every day, locked myself in my room and cried and wouldn't come out until dinner. And after months of just asking my parents if they could homeschool me, just my mom and I moved back to the US. Now we all live here, but for a long time, my dad didn't have a job so there was constant anxiety on both sides. The one thing I want to say is that for four months of my life, felt so guilty for the stress I alone was putting on everyone else. But I know that it was the right thing to do, and so does my family. So my advice, is to do what is right now. There might be stress along the way, but if you know a situation isn't right, don't be afraid to do what is. Be strong, and conquer. You're an amazing person Mal. -Willow

[@Andr0meda_]

Mal, we're here for you no matter what. You're a fantastic person and teacher. I started painting again because of you

[@KittyLife]

Seeing how mean my peers were in high school, I can totally understand the pain that must have caused. I've had a few teachers that never said it, but I'm positive they cared as much as you did, and it ate at them the whole year. Taking this chance is a great way for you to level your head and figure out where you're going to go next. I wish the best luck to both of you...and the cats

[@commcody2914]

Stephen and Mal we will always be here for you guys. I really love all of your content both the wonderful art that you make Mal and all of the video game and vlog content from Stephen. its all amazing please keep being wonderful

[@wizeoaldowl]

This is something I, as an aspiring teacher, am terrified of. I know of at least two friends who were basically run out of their teaching careers, or at the very least were forced to find a different school, by their students, a few more by the school administration. Like Mal, these were people with an enormous passion for teaching and leaving was incredibly hard for them. I can't say I know how Mal feels, but I seriously fear that some day I might.

[@jacobgroves1227]

Mal, best of luck with everything. you seem like an amazing person and a great teacher. you always give me the impression that you would be a truly incredible art teacher at a private grade school. I hope you find a way to do what makes you happy, and that everything goes well

[@BeeIsDoubt]

I just got my first smartphone and I still need a case. I also just learned that Mal's artwork comes on phone cases, I'm totally going to buy one.

[@JenniferBenYen]

Mal, I think you're such an incredible artist and teacher. I love watching your MalMakes videos, and even though I'm not an artist, I feel like I learn so much. You and Stephen are both awesome, and I always enjoy your videos, even though I'm a relatively new viewer and don't always get the chance to watch all of them. I really admire the bravery of your choice about the future, and the values it reflects. I think you and Stephen are two of the most honest KZbinrs out there, and I really appreciate how you welcome all of us into your lives and really care about your viewers. That's such a special thing, and helps us see that you're real people, just like our family and friends are, and connect with you. You guys are so authentic, and you work so well together. I find myself turning to your videos whenever I want to feel calm or peaceful. I also like the more exciting series, like Morning Mario and Donkey Kong, but I particularly like your MalMakes videos and your old Minecraft videos. I'm currently not making any progress on the Chulip series, because it's so effectively calming that I fall asleep halfway through the same episode, every time! I watch KZbin as my main form of entertainment, more than I watch TV or play games or anything else, and I got to thinking that spending money on KZbin is really equivalent to the money people spend on other things, only it's more personal. I've been thinking about this for a while, and I really want to support you guys, so I decided to become a Collector on Patreon for Mal. This is my first time as a donor on Patreon, but I'm so excited about supporting you guys, and I'm so looking forward to receiving signed artwork by Mal to hang in my home! Honestly, Mal is such a talented artist that a couple of signed prints is totally worth $55 anyways, but it's so great to also be able to help you guys keep doing what you're doing. Thank you both so much for all the hard work and devotion you put into this awesome thing on KZbin, and I'm looking forward to the future! -Diana Wilson

[@Totoxert]

I almost teared up after seeing Mal start crying. Anyway, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Don't give up the passion, keep the faith.

[@thatonezeldafan64]

I'm glad to hear that Mal's resignation has led to better things for both of you. I'm sorry to hear about the bad things that have happened to you in your Art class. I'm very excited to see more of MalMakes , StephenVlog, and StephenPlays content. Thank you both for all the hard work you do. Seeing how you both soldier through hardships and general hard-work inspires me as a person. Thank you both for what you do. I look forward to the time when Mal is in a teaching position again. Thanks Mal for being such a great inspiration.

[@NateOfTheFossils]

Coming from someone in their junior year of high school, I can confirm that high schoolers can be jerks. I have been around to see at least one teacher resign due to students and one of the calmest adults I have ever seen to completely snap. Do whatever you need to do to be happy.

[@NateOfTheFossils]

Oh, and also, it always makes me mad when videos like this get dislikes.

[@XanderSkyforth]

Mal, it's good to know that you've managed to take yourself away from that situation, because in reality nobody deserves to be treated in such a way. you're truly an inspiration especially to me since I have a very low self confidence in my own work and have seen the bitter end of kids like that for a while. trust me as you already say it gets better, when i stood up for myself and took myself away from the people who hurt me it was like I was a whole new person. i love your videos they are amazing I'm always extremely impressed by the quality and accuracy of the paintings, since I'm quite a nerd myself I love watching every one. (side note: your chulip painting was AMAZING 😍) anyway just stick it out because there is always something good on the other side. you are an amazing person with a really supportive partner and you should feel proud of all your achievements especially in your channel, (and other things too!) i hope you can find momentum quickly and be back in your stride because we all love you, yes unconditionally but still the same. xxx stay strong. 💪👌 B.

[@Stardust_Road]

Noo :( I hope things get better for you both! I'm sorry Mal :(

[@niwawa]

Mal, It's so good to hear that you've stepped away, at least for now, from something that was hurting you. It takes a lot of strength to acknowledge that anything that you love has been hurting you and to finally pull away from it and try to find a way to "fix" it, however you can. While I can't say that I know exactly how you feel, I did something similar myself, and I know how hard it can be to do anything like this. I--and many, many others!--support you and Stephen 100%

[@NicholasASchwartz]

I applaud you for getting out of that toxic situation before it broke you completely. I am so glad that you've become a much happier person, with renewed rigor and passion. I wish you the best of luck with the ever-growing MalMakes, and with anything else you set your mind to doing in the future. I have feeling that great things are coming your way, for the both of you. Keep strong, keep positive, keep crazy.

[@pointlesventur3067]

A quote from darkest dungeon, one of my favorite games as of late. -The way is lit. We require only the strength to follow it. Congratulations on finding the torch and lighting the path. We know you (two) have the strength to make it through, especially with the "army" of fans like us who support your decisions. I hope that the "special joy" that Stephen definitely sees (as mentioned), and that the viewers like us have probably seen, can grow, and prosper, and make your life happier and more enjoyable for you. We know you made the right choice, and we know that you're going to be OK.

[@MrsKelsey2209]

Mal is such a sweet , beautiful soul .. I wish you guys nothing but the best. You're both so amazing & have helped so many people in so many different ways daily with your content. Keep your chin up! :)

[@LARvonCL]

You're amazing, Mal ♡ I went three years without a job because my previous boss saw me as a waste of time and money and fired me. I'm a goldsmith and this was one of the biggest and oldest companies here in Norway. The year I spent there were filled with nasty comments and humilliating lectures. He made me feel worthless and useless and I lost the passion I had for my profession. I've just now, almost 5 years later begun to establish my own workshop and do some real metal work again. I still feel nervous whenever I get a new costumer, but I will get back on top. I'm proud of you for pulling away from this now before it was too late. You still have the fire in you, I completely lost it. Take a break and attack it from a different angle at a later time. Do not give up on your passion!

[@storminmay]

Mal's face here kills me because girl, I feel you and I resigned from teaching years ago for the same reason and it completely, totally, horribly sucks. I started crying when you said "It was killing me" because I get it. I was there too. I am so sorry and I know it's years after the fact but I am so sorry. But you gotta do what's best for you and I'm proud of you for making that decision and I'm proud of Stephen for having your back. You guys are awesome.

[@davidrask17]

That's crazy... Earlier today when I was watching the most recent vlog I was seriously thinking "Huh, I wonder if Mal will be able to resign soon in order to work full time with KZbin..". I'm sad to hear it wasn't for the reason I hoped for, being that she simply could make a living out of it... But like Stephen said, health is more important, and I'm happy to see her happier now. I can also somewhat relate to this, only that I, as a student, dropped out of the third and last year of high school for similar reasons. I'm glad you two are in a happier situation now, be it in a more unstable situation financially... You have my support

[@blackfox51]

Mal, I really admire the passion you've shared with us. Initially with any teaching moments that you shared, and now with MalMakes and always being willing to help others in the comments section. I'm sorry you had to go through so much stress and harassment for trying to do a good thing, but I hope this break from teaching can help you find the happiness and comfort that you deserve. Also, just from seeing your Tumblr, I can relate to that defeated feeling, especially when you already have anxieties. But I'm glad you can be a little happier now and pursue something that makes your artistic passion burn even brighter. I hope I can support you and Stephen by donated through Patreon soon, and good luck with everything from here. You two deserve only joy and love, and hopefully this leads to better things.

[@ellamoon555]

I really want to give you guys a big hug 😸

[@NhardosVideos]

This kind of hurt burns me inside, and it brings me a worried joy to see this time in your lives over. I hope things get better from here on out- and I wish there was more I could do to help.

[@zachnance1235]

Mallory, you made the right choice. My mother was also a teacher, and almost committed suicide after 20+ years of working with elementary students after her administration forced her to retire. I believe you all will come through, and it will get better.

[@kaykayj2005]

Jeez, you two are adorable and such a great team. I'm sure it was hard leaving your job, but it sounds like it was the best thing to do. Your health and sanity is what matters most and I'm glad you took a step to ensure you are happy. I hate seeing you cry Mal, you are such a sweetheart and I'm sure things are going to work out for you all! High school kids are definitely vicious and I'm sorry you had to deal with that, especially with nothing being done about it. You are VERY talented and will definitely go far with your art, I know it.

[@Finnycoco]

Im in high school right now and I don't think I've seen many kids acting out or disrespecting the teacher and I also have fun and engaging classes where the teacher is passionate about the students and the course (Like you) so to hear that these things happens comes as a huge surprise to me and I cant understand why students would do that to you! I'm so sorry you had to experience that I would have you as my teacher any day (Even though Im not much of an art person I would still take your class!) Best wishes Mal!

[@mc3whodat499]

I support you guys, coming from somebody who struggles with happiness at times doing what looks good on paper vs what makes you happy is tough to do. Me and every other person watching these videos love you guys and wish you guys the best for the future

[@sykotiksonik]

The feelings that I am feeling right now, Mal, just bring me back to my school days. I can't say that I know how you feel, because I'm not a teacher. But I can tell you I feel horrible for you. I am livid, shocked, disgusted, and sad at the same time. Because I know what it's like to be burnt out from something you love because of horrible students. I know what it's like to be ridiculed, mocked, yelled at, made fun of, and threatened nearly every day. I was a completely different person before middle school. Sure, I was bullied every day in elementary school, but all that was was calling me fat, which I didn't care about. But I still loved learning. I still loved school. Then the bullying got worse and worse and worse, until I started skipping to keep myself relaxed. And this came into high school as well, which is sadly where you had your experiences, and my passion and love for school and learning died. It's terrible to see and hear someone's passion for anything be destroyed because of horrible students like yours and the ones I had to deal with, who take pride on ruining people's days, and their moods and everything. I'm so happy that you did the right thing and put your mental health over a job like that. Don't let your passion die out, Mal. Because in my experience, once your passion for things you truly love die out, then your passion for everything dies, and soon even your passion for life . Take it from all of us, Mal, find any way possible to keep that passion of yours, while still keeping your sanity and mental health. From casual viewers to the hardcore Stephenites, I can say with utmost confidence that we all love you and care about you. Don't end up like me, and many others Mal. Keep that flame of passion burning bright and hot for the rest of your life. And I'm so sorry that this has happened to you.

[@Starbracer]

I really wish there was more I can say and do for you two. Mal, you have without a doubt inspired tons and tons of people! Stephen, you have without a doubt brought joy and laughter through the channels! I will keep you two in my prayers. Please don't lose hope, but instead continue to thrive and live! You two always make me smile, and I'm sure everyone else here in the comments agree! From Skyrim to Mario Kart, and beautiful art to Twilight Princess, you've always inspired me and made me laugh. Love you two! God bless!

[@GidenUltimus]

this is one year ago today already? wow mal is noticeably happier now in the recent vlogs that's great

[@rue8929]

You're mental health and passion comes first Mal, I couldn't be happier for you finding a way to avoid disaster and keep yourself happy. Keep on doing the best that you can and I'm sure you two will make it through. You always have before.

[@thethunderstriker9416]

I honestly think part of your terrible experience was the school. In my high school if you threatened a teacher you would get expelled in like 2 seconds (which is good, that's what should happen). What I'm the most upset about is that in my experience in HS I've had some really terrible teachers. Like I actually don't get how the think what they are doing is okay. I've also have had some teachers that I love and really want to talk to even after I graduate. After watching the vlog for so long, I can tell Mal is in the second group just on how much she loves teaching. I also feel another hinder for her was the subject. A lot of people take art just because they are forced to or because they think it will be a very easy class, so instead of being like "I have to be here so I'll make the most of it!" Their like "this class is stupid I'm not gonna do anything." My cousin is actually an art teacher, and I think she's going through a similar experience. And it actually hearts me (cont)

[@thethunderstriker9416]

It actually hurts me hearing what some of the kids do there. All I can say is that I trust that both of you will continue to grow in your jobs, and I'm looking forward to more MalMakes:)

[@SuperShesh2]

I think the problem is that most high schools REQUIRE an art credit of some kind, and the only class that will give it to them is that class. Even if that isn't what they are good at, they don't have a choice. It doesn't excuse their attitude, but that's the cause.

[@wolfydawolf1296]

i wish i could go to art class instead of Exp Tech, i love to draw, and learning a few things, whether i use them or not, would help me make my pictures more realistic and at the same time still my slightly cartoonish style

[@pinkfakecheez]

(is British) forgive me for not understanding, but why would they make an art credit compulsory for most high schools? Given what I know about the state of arts funding in most US schools (i.e. very dire), that seems really daft. What's the purpose of it, does anyone know?

[@nikkifx]

Mallory you are worth so much more than that bad situation at school. You are strong enough to know when life is trying to poison you. Thank you for standing up for yourself and stopping them from being allowed to hurt you! Good job Stephen for supporting your courageous wife.

[@AlxameiArxon]

I knew this from Patreon, but seeing it again makes me sad. Mal, you are an amazing person and you have overcome so many hardships and rough decisions. Ultimately, you made the right decision and did what was best for your wellbeing. Stephen said that your dream of a house was gone, but that's not completely true. It'll just be delayed a bit. And when you are ready to try teaching again, I hope you find a school that will defend you when you are threatened, or that has a bunch of students eager to learn from you about art.

[@LovelyLilly91]

Super proud of you! Not many of us dare to take a step like this (not even me). Things will work out, don't stress over it. Keep doing the things you love and remember that you are strong together! Being a teacher is among the hardest - but also one of the most inspiring. You keep us inspired by being you. Sending you both lots of love :)

[@alexsummers8385]

So I am a long time follower of StephenPlays and have been meaning to check out the vlog... and picked a really great first video! But I wanted to say that the Stephen and Mal Let's Plays are always my favorite. I struggled with depression some years ago and watching the channel actually helped me get through some of the really tough days, so Mal you have been a positive force in my life even though I was never your student. I am so sorry for the struggles you have had to go through and (though I am young and my advice is practically worthless) I think that you made the right decision to get out of such a poisonous situation. I hope this time gives you the strength to follow your passions. I have faith that your strength, talent, and support network will get you through this!

[@TheZavinskiStories]

If anything, this makes me wish I wasn't a poor college student, so I could afford to be a patron of you both. Over the years I've watched, I've noticed that Mal is one of the most amazing people I've ever seen, and not just on KZbin. She's an incredibly hard worker (it boggles my mind that you were able to juggle cats, the apartment, Stephen's channel work, Mal Makes and a job that was hurting you like this at the same time this past spring), a naturally funny and enthusiastic person, always wanting to improve the times others are having, and a insanely passionate artist, entertainer and friend. The fact that multiple kids across the years have treated you so poorly is, unfortunately not completely incomprehensible considering the youth of today, but it truly shows that those kids must have been in such bad places themselves to stomach their uncalled for and, I'm assuming sometimes vicious, actions against such a warm, caring and supportive person. I know that you two will succeed in the future. While that success might not come in the form of a new house or stable income in the near future (which is undoubtedly important, but I prefer to be sappy haha), you will continue to reap the rewards of entertaining a great community and inspiring many to pursue their own passions and make the world a better, more creative and more accepting place. I know this because you both, as is evident over thousands of days, have hearts of gold and, for one, have inspired me to tackle new things and evaluate my life and my person everyday to set goals for being a better human being all the time. And that's no exaggeration. So in the end, you definitely did what was right and necessary. It's a pity some have to ruin the joy others have in life out of spite, jealousy or whatever abstraction is currently plaguing the misbehaving youth. Mal, you didn't deserve the way you were treated, not unless it was opposite day for multiple years in a row. I love you both. :)

[@ikeruga7926]

Thank you Stephen and Mal for trusting us with this and showing a moment of weakness for both. You're both so strong and good and kind I'm sure you'll overcome anything and everything that's thrown at you. I wish there was more I could give you both, and I will once I can. Lots of love and support goes out to you.

[@CestaPMRTG]

I know first hand, being in high school myself, how disgustingly students treat their teachers, especially those who are involved in the arts. I know how tough it can be, being so passionate about the arts and people not appreciating what you can bring to the table. Just know that everyone here on all three of the channels and many others feel very deeply for you and give you as much support as we can give. Truthfully, I would give my life to see my favourite people in the world happy and secure, and I would, but given that I'm only 15 with no job I'm kind of limited. Anyway, I wish you Stephen, the kitties, Deb and Steveand everyone else in your life the best and God bless.😇

[@sofi7905]

Mal, I hope everything gets better from here on out. It's hard when something out of control gets in the way of your career. I know you'll bounce back with not only the support from Stephen but also everyone here. Continue being the amazing and great people you are and don't let this set back take control. Good luck!!

Hi Mal, I just wanted to send some encouragement your way and tell you how proud I am of you for making such a brave decision. I have been a fan of MalMakes since day 1. You are an amazing teacher and I have watched every episode with my 4 year old daughter. We both have learned so much from you and I love that my daughter has you for a role model. In fact, one day she asked me if she could have a Mallory doll so I bought an Artist Barbie for her and we call her Mallory. Her favorite painting is Sunset Shores and she has a print of it hanging in her bedroom. Also, I understand how scary it is to leave your job and go down to one family income with no benefits. I made the decision to become a stay-at-home mom when my daughter was born and even though things we tough for a while, my husband and I made it work. I know that everything will work out for you and Stephen and that your channel will be more successful than ever! Thank you for all that you guys do. :)

[@TitaniaBird]

These kids acted indefensibly, their parents should be ashamed, and the school should be ashamed for not doing anything about it. Stephen, Mal...y'all are awesome people. Mal, you don't deserve this one bit. I don't blame you for resigning. You cannot help someone who does not want help. My only hope is that at some point reality hits those stupid kids, and they realize what they've squandered with their immature antics. I've been in a similar position before. I used to work in retail, and I stayed working at that store way too long. I watched things that I was passionate about be stripped away from the company. And I've experienced that my then-management did not give any kind of a care. It's a huge step to leave a job that hurts you. But sometimes, even when it seems crazy or when it's going to be a inconvenience for a while, you have to walk away. Hugs and energy to the both of you!

[@TitaniaBird]

Also, for the house part: remember that a dream deferred is not always a dream denied. Might take a while longer to get a house, but I believe that you will be able to. ^_^

[@Pumaman86]

Stephen and Mal I admire your guys honesty about the whole situation. Teachers are one of the biggest blessings we have in our society, and its terrible to see how kids treat them. You guys produce great content, and look forward to whats in store for Mal Makes.

[@PhantomBlue]

I have full faith that you both can do great things. You are both creative, smart, inspiring, kind, amazing, and passionate about the things you love. I have so much respect for you guys, and care about you both greatly. I am grateful that I have gotten to know you guys on and off KZbin, and I am looking forward to seeing your success. I know it will be hard, but I believe in you both. I think that MalMakes has a lot of potential. An art channel should be open to many possibilities. I also think that MalMakes is perfect for getting sponsorship, which I believe should be looked into as soon as possible, and likely really good for affiliate links. These would allow you to make extra money as well. I also hope Stephen can find a way to do the same for his channel. Sponsored videos should help a lot. Good luck to you both!

[@Azazel_x24]

I agree with you

[@azurite0692]

I've had the greatest pleasure watching your lives for the past couple of years and have grown fond of all that you both share with the rest of us. Such a decision was not the easiest, but I'd like to join my words with those who understand why things had to go the path uncertain. Being also a person whom wears his heart on his sleeve, I get it. There is no price tag on peace of mind and happiness. My heart goes out to your entire family. Wishing you lots of courage for the road ahead, good fortune for whatever comes your way, and (most importantly) love for all that you continue to share with us across all of your channels. Much Aloha 🌺

[@bassetthound2008]

I hope that some of the kids that were mean to Mal see this and realize what their words and actions can do to a person. I was picked on in school so I know what it's like to be talked down to/at. I wish you two the best of luck in your future endeavors. PS for a reference on how long ago I was in school I am currently a sophomore in college.

[@williamshaughnessy1740]

I can't believe that kids (especially kids who are my age) could do this to you, Mal. So far I have had my first decent Art teacher in my entire life this Freshman year, but you are the best one I know, even though I only know you through the vlogs. Great art teachers are hard to come by, but you have a natural talent. I truly hope that your channels will be enough to support you guys

[@dynamokota]

I can't even imagine high school kids being /that/ disrespectful to a teacher. I live in a small town, and while a few kids were disrespectful and would be like that to their teachers, they were such a minority. I'm only 19 and I'm heavily disgusted with our generation, there's no respect or kindness anymore and it makes me sick. Hope you find something great, Mal. You deserve so much better than those little brats.

[@jackypatakyy8711]

I am so sorry that Mal had to go through that. No person should ever be thrown through terror like that. I'm glad you guys are happy with your decision ...I'm not good at cheering up and stuff or however you put it but I'm happy for you guys and I will always be spreading the news of your awesome channels :D
