Shinedown - Bully (Official Video)

I was a bully victim, and still to this day, this song hits me in a way no other song could. I was always bullied for my weight, for being 'the shy kid', I was even given the nickname 'The Punchline'. I discovered not only Shinedown but so many other incredible bands, and i started playing guitar to my favourite songs, one being the song that made so much better. That being this absolute masterpiece. Thank you Shinedown, for helping not just me, but all the other incredible people in this comment section who shared their story.

Family, classmates, and my older sister who was a whore. I've moved out of Missouri and now living in Massachusetts as a researcher for different colon cancers.

As a former bullying victim, I gotta say this song speaks volumes to those going through bullying. It struck a nerve with me. I was actually bullied by my junior year English teacher who always roughed me up and said I would never amount to anything. I tried telling everyone i knew but no one believed me. Still I survived bullying from the most unlikely of individuals and I owe it all to this song. Now a message to anyone going through bullying right now: you may feel weak and powerless but deep down, you are strong and powerful. So stand up for yourself and prove those bullying you wrong.

We need to be told to fight back and make it clear to the bully that they are at the same level as everyone else. Unfortunately thanks to the school board were learning so much academic and so little life skills. The more a victim ignores it the more they silently suffer until they breakdown...school shootings, suicide etc.

"Push them to the dirt til the words don't hurt..." The first time I heard that line I just broke out in tears. It was weirdly surreal. I had this flash-back rolling through my mind like a television highlight blooper special. Not funny or comfortable but ackward and embarrassing. The pain, sadness, and insecurities given to me as a child and a teenage girl now felt so intense. I feel so incredibly sad for the innocent girl that I was but there is a new sense of pride. Proud because I'm still here and I have 2 fabulous self-confident, kind, loving, etc.. children I raised. Of course others helped in the raising of them but I'm their Mom. And now I'm a Gramma as well. I do have some mental health issues and the sadness is still there but it has to take turns with some happiness now. So... I win.

[@GoodJuju.8D]

I was a victim of bullying, for some reason everyone at school absolutely hated me, call me names in the halls, throw food at me in the cafeteria, one kid even went as far as making death threats and said no one would miss me because I'm worthless. I've told teachers and even the principal but nothing was ever done, I told my mom but she couldn't do much. Eventually it got so bad my mom had to pull me out of school. I went to a much better one about a year or 2 after and hadn't had any problems, could finish school and graduate in peace. So many times I just wanted to give up and end it all but I didn't, now I'm alive and happy and enjoy my life

For those who think this song causes fear of bullies, try listening to the lyrics again. It is from the point of view of those being bullied. It shows what the first emotion is, the first is the hell they are feeling and going through and what bullying COULD do. BUT the song also speaks directly to the bullies out there and shows those being bullied standing up for themselves. It is a song of encouragement for those going through this hell, not a tool of fear. It is a message to those who would bully of where they really stand in life as long as they remain the way they are.

I got a reputation as the girl who went round kicking people when she got angry with the harsh fucking shit they were saying. yes i had buck teeth but I COULDN'T HELP it. I hated my school. so i moved. on my last day i punched someone very hard because she asked for it and they sent me to another class... tried to i ran off and ended up down head of year before finding myself in tears because i felt like my life was such as mess. leaving that shit hole saved me. but because i hated school i regularly bunked and my grades suffered as did the quality of my work because i missed so much. thankfully i did ok in my exams and was so relieved when i left school. but now i have a lot of issues. i have a temper which i never had before i started getting bullied, i hate myself and have hardly any confidence. i get stressed and i just dropped out of college because i was under pressure and scared the same thing would happen. bullies dont realise the damage they do to people. they say sticks and stones may break my bones but words dont hurt. but that isnt true. words hurt more. so much more.

And I sprinted and pushed the bully away and got ontop of him and shouted into his face ''Are you done!?'' right into his face. After that I kept fighting back against the bully and I still do.

This song helps me deal with everything from being bullied everyday. I hate bullies, and sometimes I want to end it. But that's not the way to go, bullying needs to stop. So many deaths from bullying, all because people feel they need to be hateful. I know what it's like to be bullied, I have been for the past 6 years. Talking always helps, but this song is so meaningful

Talking never helped for me. Sounds like I've been through the same shit. My recommendation: shut it down. Go numb. I can't really explain it, but you can use it to make your mind sharp, and none of it bothers me any more. And learn how to fight, it'll serve you well for the rest of your life.

[@sydneyreid2913]

im bullied by stupid people because they hate me becuase they are not popular like me. and im not tyring to be selfish but really i agree that bulling should stop becuase i hate it so much i just that i cry every night. when i become a police i am going to make sure everyone is nice to everyone.

[@braedonsrantsmore2482]

Also kid I understand how you feel I was bullied in school from grade school to high school I want you know you will learn from all the bullshit they did to you remember you perfect this way you are anyone who tells you you are stupid and or fat or loser or whatever they this mad because they are not you remember God made you image of him he loves you and cares for you believe me bully's have special place in hell All bully's are demons trying take away what god give you they are piece of shit nobody's they have no life no love for anyone except themselves this song reminds me how far I have come those bully's who bullied me they will pay for what they did to me remember prove them wrong they tell you you can't do something prove them all wrong do whole 180 on them then when you make to your dreams they will pretend give a shit this get taste of your success but dot let them have any

[@vaciline]

man, I wish I knew this song last year. I've been listening to Shinedown my whole life. I didn't know this song existed. I went through terrible bullying last year and maybe attempted a few times. hearing this song was a life changer. not only did they cover a serious topic, but they also didn't make it disrespectful. last year, the bullying was so bad that I thought I was alone. I thought the world didn't need me. shinedown, seether, three days grace, and 10 years got me out of that mindset. kudos to them. and if you have that mindset, just know, that your not alone and people do love you.

[@user-zk1ic1gb5i]

I was bullied from sixth grade til my junior year of high school, it only ended when I decided that I was going to put a stop to it. the "normal" routine was after school I would get beat down until they had their fill(it was like this for 5 years) so I got tired of it and my junior year I decided enough was enough and I lost it. I wish I could have seen the look on their faces when I straight up beat the main antagonizer into the ground. I beat on him for a good ten minutes, it wasn't until the school cop pulled me off of him that I realized how much damage I did(he lost three teeth and had to have his jaw wired together), after that I never had a problem with them. I hate to say it but sometimes fighting back works, I'm not saying it works 100% of the time but sometimes it does. just remember being bullied is a temporary problem. suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, it's not worth the hurt that you'll cause your loved ones.

I was bullied mercilessly from grade 1-12: I was physically abused by a group of boys in elementary, and the girls were just cruel, then it got worse in middle school, and all of my friends abandoned me. In high school I had one guy tell me that all I would ever be good at was cutting myself...and another told me to go cut myself in the corner after we got into an argument. I cannot stress to people how much this damaged me, and how hard it is to move past this. People that bully need to remember that they are causing pain to another human being, someone just as worthy as themselves. It's sick how many people are bullied to the point of suicide.
