U were right about the transitioning through the movie to different grades, each song is a new grade actually:) like start: wheels on the bus end:recess that's why there's 12 songs in the album!

[@Cindingly]

@@-shining.star-yess!! And also the hairstyles symbolise each year! :D

[@shaken_thesaurus2001]

I love the principal because you can interpret the refrain at the end of the chorus as "where's the principal" as in where is the leader figure when you need one, but it can also be understood as "where's the principle" as in where are your morals, it's brilliant

[@Killua-ni5zq]

Right!! I love that. Same thing with Drama Club. You can interpret it as drama going on in highschool, your life, etc. And like a whole group of people gossiping or you can interpret it as acually being in a play and having set roles they expect you to play. ( like man going out to work while women stay home to cook for him)

[@Abby_SL]

Also in the principle it talks about online fights wich really hints to who she wrote it about.

[@Bitchy-girl]

Yeeee

[@carlihans]

yess!! that's exactly why she chose it as an interlude for the trilogy tour when the screen projected sayings for the current situation in palestine. she feels that people lose all their morals when faced with terrible situations like that

[@Syrupp._.]

I just noticed that in "Show and Tell" when the doll is thrown, and her guts are showing, that is showing how whenever she is exposed, or vulnerable in a way, everyone that once liked her, left and said "Gross." Which shows how you can't show a weakness or vulnerability in a popularity position

[@Lil-Boba]

I think of it as like when she opens up and tells ppl what she did wrong or what they did that they feel bad about or just confess stuff or etc and they’re like “Ew! Gross!” Which is why she says she doesn’t wanna be thrown away like a banana peel because when celebrities or famous people tell people they’re also human their fans dont wanna be fans anymore, because some fans are like: “OH SHE CANT DO ANY WRONG” and stuff like that so when she opens up abt it they dont like her anymore.

[@harplixx]

Im surprised you didn't catch the end of "Show And Tell'. They finally see the inside and don't want her anymore as in she opens up and speaks about how she feels and the people are like "ew gross" and ignore her. that's why she says "Im scared that i'll get thrown away like a banana peel."

[@Elli.faith_045]

It also shows another meaning. Show and Tell tells us that she doesn't want to be on display all the time but if she doesn't, she thinks she will get thrown away and forgotten about. So when she is thrown and sees her insides they get grossed out and bored in a way, they aren't entertained anymore

[@Elli.faith_045]

It shows that some people need attention or they feel like they are nothing, this is how I see it along with Mel being famous and how she feels about it

[@silverdyne]

I might be wrong but I always thought them literally tearing apart the principal was a metaphor for them taking apart/dismantling the systems in place/power that create these toxic environments.

[@yourmajestydavid5160]

I kinda saw it as Cancel Culture. They got rid of someone who did bad things only for another bad person to take his place..

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Good point!😊👍

[@peachypufff]

wait that’s actually an interesting analogy-

[@goldenapple3952]

Thats exactly how it is. She realises they wont listen to her and nothing will change after she makes her case. the problem is THE SYSTEM that shes trying to plead to so she destroys it. In the dramaclub song she makes people unionize to get rid of the toxic leader but a new one comes to his place anyways, yet another hint at the fact that trying to make the system work is useless if the whole thing is faulty

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

@@goldenapple3952 very cool! Thanks for the comments😊

[@ifrozeyourcookie]

In case others haven't said this yet on Patreon or whevever else but the blue drink that killed the principal is basically poison Crybaby made, which she changed his regular booze with it when she turned her powers on, and was referenced back in Tag You're It/Milk and Cookies double feature where we first sort of shown that blue drink=poison. As for the rabbit, it has its own story with Melanie in her childhood which is why she chose that off all animals but in relation to the Crybaby universe, bunnyheads are doctors. It's a theme of the universe I guess is one way to say it.

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Makes sense! Thank you so much!😊👍

You were right when you said "it's like they're going through different grades as the movie goes on" that's exactly what's happening. Hence the different hairstyles each scene and the name of the album "k-12"; kindergarten through 12th grade

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Love this movie 😊👍

[@Littlebodybigattitude]

Yeah bc on show and tell when she walks in the chalk board says 3rd grade class

[@Nevermind-ng7lr]

as for rabbits, they occupy a special place in her work. Her first pet was a rabbit, which she later gave to her friend who also had a rabbit, she gave it away because she bought a dog and her parents apparently didn't let her keep two animals. After some time, her rabbit was found without a head (I don’t remember how it happened, she talked about this in one of the interviews and she has a tattoo dedicated to this rabbit)

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

I love it! Thank you!😊

[@nattierox007]

Sorry if anyone else has said this already but I have some thoughts about the part at 16:56. I always thought the meaning of the doll’s intestines being shown at the end was a metaphor for cancel culture in a sense. That she “spilled her guts” so to speak, was vulnerable and shared how she truly felt, but ended up disgusting others and was still was tossed aside. Another clue to this for me was the lyric “It’s really hard for me to say just how I feel, I’m scared that I’ll get thrown away like a banana peel”.

[@tacotucke]

That scene is a reference that when the person that you "love" so much is needing help you don't like more of her

[@LanasLems]

Yeah, the second you reveal you act human just like everybody else and are not this picture perfect idol, they don’t want you anymore

[@gotchauuu]

Nurse's Office is just a perfect song. Back to school days, I used to fake injuries and pain to go home because of hatred in my class and fights. I lied that I feel myself bad, my heart hurts or something to have a permission to quit school for a day, sometimes more. I'm not proud for that but that worked ty for the video

[@andyd3447]

This is such an amazing movie to watch for mental health awareness. Every song on this album is so important for everyone but especially for young people to talk about! Thanks!

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Appreciate you Andy😊👍

[@amber2408]

15:54 I don’t think that cut was supposed to represent self harming I think it’s the cut Kelly gave her earlier in the playground

[@fsociety161]

That's what I came to say!

[@AlexisSanchez-s8u]

I know I’m late but I think the cut represents to show how she’s the same as everyone else and thinks why they treat her differently from everyone else when she’s the same as everyone from the inside and to show she’s a human and not just some product for society as she says In the song

[@Ilovetoxicyuri]

u have no idea how much I needed this I’m not gonna traumadump but I haven’t had the best day 💀😭 so tyy and pls keep up w the Mel reactions even after k-12 she has songs w very deep meaning in her crybaby and after school album/ep also mrs harpers scene was mostly to show how terrible of a boss/principal the principal is :))

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Thank you so much for watching😊👍

[@michimelody4036]

As a bully victim i used to escape to the nurses office, the security staff used to let me hang out with them, other teachers let me hang out in their classes during my lunch and I skipped classes I had to walk near her to get to. It was hell. She does a good job.

[@valerie_0207]

i believe the cut during show and tell isnt self harm but instead the cut the bully left on her arm ☺️

[@Soobiinchoi]

“Is it common to feel the physical pain of this world at the age of 13/14?

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Yes👍

[@JA-im9xs]

16:45 - "Show and Tell." When he said, "Oh, look at the inside," with a disgusted look. I FINALLY understood the message of why she made the doll's organs come out. She's basically saying her "inside" is imperfect, and in the scene where all the children immediately backed off and said "gross," there is a symbolism, as once the students (which symbolize how the "audience" and "society') saw the celebrity for who she actually was and not the "perfect" version of who society painted them as to be, but once the celebrity revealed that they are just a person who also has imperfection ("the organs") just like everyone else , the audience immediately backed off in disgust because society want to put celebrity in a box like a perfect doll and if the perfect doll reveal a bit of something that the society painted as "imperfection" , they will be thrown to the ground or thrown away like rubbish. "organs" = "how she looked inside/ her imperfection / who she TRULY is behind the mask of a celebrity. " *"Everyone has organs"* = "everyone has their own *Imperfection* " Everyone is the same , even celebrities as they are just human like us , they have organs just like us , they have their imperfection JUST LIKE US.

[@Sarahzoe_3dits]

YOU NEED MORE LIKES

[@Weirdo123abc]

​@@Sarahzoe_3ditsREAL

[@rookiecookie723]

I started crying when you started talking about Show & Tell cause I realized that as that doll was lying there, Too exhausted to even stand up And then when the people who exhausted her saw her at her lowest and most vulnerable They just said "That's gross"- like... "No down time, Fix yourself and stand up or we'll walk away"

[@irikshema907]

I think the part where it shows the doll’s insides are a metaphor for people saying they don’t like Melanie once she expresses her true emotions and feelings or shows who she truly is on the inside.

[@TheGrossDemon]

I know Melanie is just our darling little gem who is doing her own thing and reinventing a musoc scene that pays her no mind, but god her work makes me wish she did acting outside of her own work. I dont want ANYONE to mistreat or take advantage of her, and enjoy that shes gone a more independant route so she can have full creative control over her art and life, but she would be such a fun addition to any cast. I guess ill just appriciate the stuff she gives us even more.

[@tinyheart3]

When they say, go back to the beginning with the bunnies they mean her music videos before this. On KZbin there is a compilation of music videos called the crybaby movie about an hour long that weren’t technically meant to be a movie but still preceded the K-12 movie 👍🏽

[@aidancarr4953]

For the end of show and tell when her stomach is ripped open and you can see inside her. I always interpreted as being they can see inside her and showing them her true self that she is a human and a person. But as you could see in the seen they say “ew gross” like they don’t want to acknowledge she is human and like them. She is just entertainment for them.

[@clustarzz]

12:10 I wanted to add on that, because sometimes teachers humiliate weak students and spotlight them. they use us as examples of things they don't like about us and teach the kids around us to bully. They know the influence they have as adults and still continue to bully young children for their own self-worth.

[@MustafaKaba-d2d]

Show and Tell was abt famous ppl who can’t rlly say their feelings like when she said ,, There are Persons taking pictures of me when I ask not to,, And the I’m like you you’re like me is for ppl that are famous and ppl that aren’t!!!!

[@vy.phoenix.editss]

I don't think the cut on show in tell represents self harm I think she kept it because if you recall Kelly aka (the bully) did cut her in class fight..

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

That’s right, thank you for the reminder👍

Im literally crying cause Melanie and lots of other celebs who provide content ans theyre just treated horribly even by their fans who constantly demand more 😭😭 she just released void music video and already on her Instagram are comments saying "release tunnel vision" do more do this do that. So ungrateful and horrible they listen to her music but dont learn anything from it. I dont envy celebs at all because i could never deal with that sort of pressure and abuse. Plus we dont even know what goes on with her handlers/media perspective they are probably just as bad.

[@maxgranger1444]

Drama club is the best song in K-12 in my opinion bc it literally gives me chills and one part it sounds like children are singing along with her and it’s the part they kill the principal very violently soo..(I also take drama classes so it sounds funny for me to say “I never signed up for your drama club” in the middle of class lol:)

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

So cool! Can’t wait to react to that😊👍

[@cassi6528]

The hair changes represent each school year, (aside from special outfits for dance sequences like in the Principal)

[@xx_ny4n.c4t_xx]

When I think of the song Show and Tell I think of what some people say about Melanie, "Melanie deserves her fans, it's her fans that don't deserve her." Which is saying that Melanie deserves all her fame, fortune, and fans but her don't deserve her because a lot of them are just mean and rude. There is a video of 2 people and Melanie and one was recording her without asking while the other was taking pictures of her when she said to stop which is where I think the "people are taking pictures of me when I ask no more" there are so many of her "fans" that take pictures of her without asking and recording her without asking. I find it so sad that some people think ok to do that to her.

[@Iisratty]

I love his take on it because he’s pointed out stuff I haven’t noticed even after watching it multiple times

[@enchantling4132]

Recess and nurses office have the same instrumental and the instrumental only plays when she’s in danger carsoul, nurses office, recess, her newest song pluto

[@PaigeDoesStuffYT-vj8hz]

The reason for the bunny heads is when Melenie was young she had a pet rabbit, and took it to her friends house and forgot him. The rabbit was found decapitated. So I think the bunny heads are like the decapitated head of her pet. But that’s just my opinion! =]

[@Zip11122]

I love the part when Melanie Martinez said:what if i told your mom her son was a cruel Motherfucker" i love that part sm

[@seashell3403]

For me the Principle song was sort of about how a lot of the staff just kinda fucks you over and ignores all the bullying and harassment in their own schools just for their own reputation, and then have the nerve to say that there’s rarely any harassment and everything is fine. It’s also kinda just how these schools function off of killing artists and producing factory workers. Just like a massive “fuck you” to the school system. I think it might just be heavily influenced by my own experience in schools, but I’ve always interpreted it that way.

[@iGooseMax]

Amazing reaction and commentary! Super excited for part 3 🥰💕

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Thanks so much!👍

[@brittanylarson5973]

The Principal is also a very political song “prescription pills and online fights” it’s an attack on Trump.

[@Melliesedit2.0]

The bunnys: melanie said in an interview that she had to choose her dog or her bunny she chose her bunny so she sold her bunny to her friend but the bunny was missing so the bunnys head was found in her friend yard

[@LittlebodybigheartILOVEMELANIE]

Also I’m pretty sure show and tell is about the paparazzi and having no privacy after she became famous

[@Ladybugjay3]

Show and Tell is also her message to toxic fans, saying human too. (if you didn't know ^ ^)

[@juliagilmore-sp7ve]

16:00 here he’s talking abt having a place to be vulnerable, and i had a thought along the lines of is that why alot of gen z is so ‘addicted’ to the internet seeing as most are in school like high school, or even college at this point int (i think).being on the internet gives them a MUCH easier chance ti find someone they can relate to, or even share problems with.The internet aslo gives them a place to be vulnerable with people who are in similar situations without places like school reporting it to parents who get concerned and then might just take that childs privileges away, kr smthing similar to it.

"you are immortal." "but we're exhausted!" "we dont want to feel this anymore.." Exactly. A lot of people when asked what superpower they would want would probably say Immortality and sure immortalitys cool, until you start outliving everybody you care about. To me it feels a lot like having pets. Its awesome to have a pet but you will (almost always) end up outliving them and it can get very painful and exhausting, especially if you've had multiple pets over the years. (can also relate it to being the youngest sibling or just relating it to parents too tbh)

[@LesbianDionysusFan]

wow this was a long comment lol

[@hugz4ghosts]

One thing I do want to point out about the scene were she sang “the principle” is that when it cut to where her and a bunch of other girls are trying to “present their case” to the Supreme Court, i know it’s subtle but you can see that everybody on Melanie’s side are women/poc women and on the Supreme Court side it’s a bunch of older white men.

Show and tell is mostly about her and her fans. Like when she says “strangers are taking pictures of me when I ask no more. It’s really hard for me to say just how I’ll feel. I’m scared I’ll get thrown away like a banana peel.” It’s also kinda a message for us as her fans to stop doing that

I’m late but in my opinion the principal is about trump or Obama and she is saying “ where’s the principal “ because the principal (president) is not acting like a leader and if their not doing their job it doesn’t matter it’s like they just don’t exist

2:06 this made me cry to see people are like this in the fucking world

7:56 You're right, it is a government thing. If you see this I think you should start looking at the lyrics on "Genius". It shows the meaning behind each line of every song. What it said about "Principle" was that Mel was referring to Donald Trump. He's done so many bad things while *claiming he's a good guy* because *all he wants is cash and hype* he doesnt care about anyone but himself and he *F's our dreams and that's not right*

She took “Why don’t the students just fight the teachers? It’s like 300 versus 30.” To another level in drama club 😭🙏

I think the cut in Show and Tell is supposed to represent hate towards her for being different, and the cuts too low to be from Kelly. The whole song is about how celebrities are treated and viewed by majority of fans, and when they show them true selves the often get casted side. She says if they cut her she'll bleed like them, which could be showing their actions and words do hurt like it would any other person.

I'm just now realizing that her song drama club is like a response to haters.

Upopular opinion may not b true but I think in show and tell she kinda reflects on how atlantic records limits her creativity and give her a small budget to make her vids and songs :
