I am with you!!! I missed her stories so much but I respect the why behind it.

[@swallacegray2013]

Sooo true

Rogaine under the Christmas tree is WILD!

[@gingercakes3135]

😂😂😂 I fell out

[@hellostephco84]

She (my mom) was trying to help 😂😂

[@jasminejazziej8787]

As a black woman that grew up white spaces I can sooooo relate to this. I hate the way black women are expected to answer personal questions that no other group of women would dare answer. Thanks for sharing this with story

[@kiana62510]

The storytelling skills are UNMATCHED!!!!!

[@DosesOfZia]

“I don’t know her, I don’t know who you’re talking about!” Iktr!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@hellostephco84]

When it comes to telling stories, I have discovered there are better ways to share parts of yourself that are not going to leave you shaking and sniveling in a ball because you've been bullied off the internet. In, "Stories I Don't Mind Telling", a new series I want to start here on my channel, I will be taking a look at any events from my life (or the lives of my viewers) and taking a moment to retell them. There will be GUIDELINES. For example, no stories about romantic misadventures will be explored (not on my end anyway if viewers want to talk and submit their stories to a topic they can!) and no stories will be told that reveal personal and possibly harmful information for the teller or people involved in their story. There are still good stories out there, and storytelling, in all its forms is important. But guidelines are too...thank you for watching :)

[@June-ue4on]

Yayy!!

[@lydmch2770]

I love u so much!!! I’m so happy rn

[@naturewesby]

Thank you so much for being like an internet bestie. Absolutely loved this as usual! Always look forward to your content. Middle school was mostly a good experience for me, though at the same, it was definitely the first memories I have of racism and bullying. Can’t wait for your next video! God bless you!🙏🏾

[@AJ-gd1ww]

I really enjoy how you tell stories. I'm a fan of story-telling i.e. The Moth and Stories From the Stage. So your stories are right up my ally.

[@yungaterror]

I personally think it's the story telling that will grow your channel. That was why I followed you in the first place. I'm glad you're going to continue doing it without sharing your romantic avenues.

[@SamriBliss]

That Karen as definitely tormenting black kids on purpose 14:51 The point about how black kids are the biggest bullies is so true- especially if there’s just a handful of you in a non-black space. I’m still dealing with PTSD from constant bullying from black and Ethiopian kids

[@Nallisn]

That’s so interesting I had the opposite bullying experience. I went to an all white school for half of my life with only about 5 or 10 black kids. We all had our own friend group and none of us hung out or even spoke to each other. So no bullying because we never even tried to interact. I then moved to a majority black school in another state and that’s when the bullying started from other black kids.

[@charlesakintibubo2940]

What is your ethnic background

[@SamriBliss]

@@charlesakintibubo2940 I’m mixed between Jamaican and Ethiopian (gurage tribe)

[@SamriBliss]

@@Nallisn I went to elementary school in Ethiopia and 8th grade and up in a mixed school in America 🇺🇸 - mostly white then Asian. Similar to your experience, the other black kids didn’t even speak to me 😅. I remember there was a black guy dating a white girl and she was trying to be friendly with me cause I guess she felt bad for the few black girls or did want to appear rude… and I remember the black guy making it clear to his football buddies that he’s not into black girls.

[@kerenlevine7481]

13:45 As an immigrant who has experienced several cultures, I’d NEVER ask anyone (whether it’s black or not) if their hair is real in a 1-1 conversation, the audacity to ask that in front of the whole class, how rude!!

[@deidralatrice3925]

The teacher was trying to make you a spectacle in the class smh!

[@trevy7321]

Rogaine for Christmas is sending me!

[@Asphedal]

I love your story telling! So good! Well middle school. Where to begin! I moved to the USA from Africa in the 2001. Girl. I was made fun of daily. I lived in a predominantly black and Hispanic neighborhood. People made monkey sounds at me. The running joke was “hi there, I saw you on tv the other day. Feed the children commercial”… My hair was natural, 4c, so I heard it. “Eww, why don’t you have a perm?”… When we used to watch black history month movies, and they showed the slaves, there would be snickering, people saying “look at her ugly a*** people”.. which is true, those were my great great whatever cousins and uncles, but those were their great great whatever parents. I definitely retreated. Just watched movies. Developed an eating disorder. Till this day I am super insecure about my hair, my body, my skin, my Africaness etc. Middle school is a hot mess.

[@Lisette121]

Children can be cruel

[@prettybrittany_]

i used to avoid mirrors for years until 9th grade. i used to have to wear a clip on bang because i broke my real hair off from flat ironing it daily. oh man, this story brought back memories

[@sosowat7379]

As a black women who also grew up in the white suburbs, I SO RELATE to your story. Middle school and high school was rough for me. 🥂to making it on the other side😁

[@lakeishag76]

lol! I have a similar experience from middle school. I used to wear a draw string ponytail and it flew off while I was running in gym 😂😂😂 I’ll never forget it lol.

[@starlights13]

Your story reminded me of my own traumatic times in middle and high school. Bad skin, damaged hair, bullying and passive aggressive teachers.

[@CiaoColeG]

Middle school was full of life changes for me. I got my period, "broke up" with one of my best friends, my parents separated then reconciled, I was born again (Christian), my father and grandma died, and because of those losses I struggled with grief/depression. It was also a heavily predominately white school. I couldn't wait to move. Thank goodness after 8th grade my mom moved us to a new diverse suburb in a new state where I didn't feel so invisible and less attractive.

[@thinkpink3927]

miss ma'am, you are so underrated. yes, the story telling was fab as always but the nuances of black hair and how black men and women can sometimes be bullies and our own worst enemy is the truth. my hair much longer than my bra strap and I gladly wear wigs and have for the last year or so. we just need to let folks do what they want to do.

[@Sammy-nj3io]

The Paul Wall reference made me laugh so hard. You have a great way of painting a picture. Thanks for the story!

[@glamgetter1910]

Already saw on Patreon but imma rewatch it. I can’t wait for your new series.

[@noluthandosibiya108]

Omw, same! She's just so good at this

[@misslauren6798]

OMG!! I had a similar experience in elementary school in the 90s when the fake ponytail was the "thing"! We played dodge ball in gym. The gym teacher blew the whistle, which meant stop what you're doing and sit down on the floor. My class was laughing and I didn't know what was funny, but I laughed along. Then I saw my ponytail sitting in the middle of the floor.

[@alyssab.9994]

I love this story! It reminds me of when I saw a woman’s wig fly off of her head and blow away like a tumble weed in the wind. I was on a shuttle bus headed home after work. It was a very windy day and the woman was walking over to board when Mother Nature knocked her block off. All of the passengers witnessed this. She chased it for a bit and when she finally caught her hair, she boarded the bus and we all just bust out laughing. She joked about it but I’m sure it was so embarrassing. 😂😩

[@yungaterror]

Loooooool I would have missed that bus

[@mardjo595]

I agree with you Steph. I too grew up in a predominantly white community, and though I experienced racism from white students and teachers alike, I also had my fair share of experiences with fellow black students who were relentless with the bullying. I'm dark-skinned, long hair, and let me tell you - all the bullying from black kids was directly targeted at my hair.

[@nias67]

Middle school was a Nah for me. I tremble in horror a bit that my little girl is about to be entering in to that brutal space come fall. God help her especially in these times 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[@tishataray]

Great story Steph..I grew up in a more or less black country so wearing weave was normal. However, I was a teacher in Spain at 1 point and the students would gossip about me because I wore a wig and would tell me take off my hat. I hated going to that class. Someday I wore my natural hair and my landlord said it looked better than the wig....little did she know the work I had to do to get my twist out to cooperate in a place with lack of access to black hair products. Black hair maintenence is a struggle

[@macarmenadoree]

The way this story had me on the edge of my seat... it hit all my triggers 😂😂 Ms Karen? Dear god Ive never wanted to punch someone I've never met in the face so bad.

[@Boahemaa]

This made me laugh. I went to school bald on purpose in 6th grade and kept that as my main hairstyle for the next 6 years. I've always been defiant, but I was trying to look like Angelique Kidjo then, in my late teens Grace Jones. I liked staring people down when they said something rude about my hair. I miss those days.

[@doctorofletters8412]

I would have LOVED to be your friend in secondary school ( what we called it)! !

[@FeelingFitFabFun]

I felt so awkward and nerdy in middle school. Thankfully I met a couple of friends that I stuck beside. I remained quiet, even through high school, because I didn’t want people to notice me. I thought if they noticed me, they’d see my flaws and hand me down clothes and shoes, big glasses, etc.

[@RedisNotaFlavor]

My GAWD all mighty, I call heaven and earth! MALBU you will Crumble!!! im glad he apologized

[@trinity7135]

Something similar happened to me in 7th grade 😂 I had a clip on ponytail I wore for picture day but I liked it so much that I kept wearing it for the week and I jumped into the pool during PE and it started floating away lmao thankfully only 3-4 people were in the pool at the time!!

[@misslauren6798]

OMG!! TO THIS DAY, I still believe asking people if their hair is there's is RUDE! It's along the lines of asking age and weight! It was rude in the 90s, but people seem to feel it's less rude over the decades., like they assume everyone is fine with it.

[@JoyfulJax_]

When I tell you I clicked so fast!! Lol Ah-may-zing storytelling 🥰❤️ Girl, middle school was so traumatic for me! I remember being one of the few Mexicans in my school, which was predominantly white and black kids (near an army base). I’m not the typical Mexican built girl. I have curly hair, light complexion, and taller than most people in my school. And so many people would shame me for not looking like a “normal” Mexican girl. (Salma Hayek vibes) and I was constantly bullied because of my body type, height, and accent. And the Spanish teacher in our school would try use me as a google translate, which led everyone else to follow in her footsteps 🥹💔 hated it. For high school I moved to a school near the border where we were all Mexican 😂😂

[@Andrea-cx8zx]

Thank you for sharing. I was a military brat and attended middle and high schools (2) in Southern California from 2001-2009. I was called fat and big (because I was a size 5, not a size 0 at 5’6), ugly, weave-a-licious (because I wore a ponytail at my second racist high school after my hair fell out). It was ROUGH! I was just never good enough. Still sticks with me today. I have a daughter now and I just hope that I can be a better advocate for her. Due to my dad deploying a lot and my mom being stressed, I just never had anyone to turn to. Those years weren’t all bad, had some great moments as well. Keep sharing! It’s healing

[@jamieb2289]

It's interesting how traumatic being a black child in predominantly white environments is, ON TOP of the general difficulties of being a kid going through middle school. I'm still working through how my environment informed my negative self image and anxieties about my racial identity.

[@terrythomas831]

Love the way you tell stories ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SydRichi]

No, I was NOT okay in middle school! Loved hearing this story but hate that this happened to you😭 Middle school is evil

[@leyadeva9804]

Middle school consisted of me trying to be someone I was not to fit it but thankfully I said forget all that in high school & started focusing more on the books.

[@CoilyTwizzler]

❤❤ really empathized listening to this story. As a Black woman who went to a predominately white and Asian middle school, I can definitely say those years were some of the worst as a pre teen aged Black girl. Those years are already awkward but the experience seems to be especially hard bc adolescents just seemed especially cruel towards you if you were a Black girl 💔 ugh lmao the process of having to build up your self esteem after the fact can take years, like the emotional trauma still haunts me into adulthood but it’s made me way more protective of myself and other Black women and girls. Also your storytelling skills are 🔥

[@FeelingFitFabFun]

Stephhhhh… do you try to be this funny? The tidbit about the liquor cabinet and Paul Wall… I hollered! 🤣😂 Thank you. I too have had some embarrassing incidents in school. You’re awesome btw & tell the most interesting stories.

[@Chazcott]

I think it’s absolutely a phenomenon that so many of us Black women experienced such a difficult period of our lives in similar ways and we all start with, “I grew up or moved to a predominantly White school/neighborhood/area”. It really changes us! We are put against a group of people that look nothing like us but are expected to fit their molds, be comparable to them and when we’re not we can be ridiculed and poked non stop! It’s a shame really but our own communities need work and we wouldn’t have had some of the same opportunities if we hadn’t been moved in most cases and unfortunately. For me, I was just stretching and was so thin with baby like cheeks and bucked teeth from thumb sucking but had long hair. I was too dark to be liked by boys or popular with girls, but too light that dark skin girls thought I was a mean girl because I didn’t talk much. Lol and I made friends with people that never quite fit any mold either. I was skinny, tall, but we were in Alabama. Thick was the thing because typically girls with a little weight had womanly bodies that boys wanted. And of course shorter girls were admired because a lot of boys hadn’t reached that growth spurt just yet. But skinny was still top tier as long as you were growing those womanly parts too. That wasn’t me lol and my mom was the “that’s too grown” lady that bumped my ends against my will so I had a childishness to me too where a lot of kids were acting/dressing real grown and I wouldn’t dare for fear of my mom. Middle school was just awkward AF for me 😂

[@Caribbeannking1011]

I hated middle school as well. I was made fun of because people thought I was gay and it really hurt to know that I wasn’t well liked. Still to this day I suffer from self esteem issues because of middle school.

[@luxurylifestyle7425]

Omgosh, middle school was so freakin hard! I related to this story so much, not because my hair broke off or anything like that, but because I was picked on and bullied and often my hair was a tool that was used to assist the bullying. I actually have a decent amount of hair and because of it, the kids would stick things in my hair (small pieces of paper, food, etc.) and sometimes they would be so light-handed, that I wouldn’t be able to feel anything. So I wouldn’t know that they had just done that. And then they would get in groups and laugh and make fun of me. Ugh, kids are so mean. On another note, I’m so sorry that this happened to you, but good for you for being a badass and handling it with grace. Also, I just have to say, you are such a good storyteller and I really enjoy watching your videos! ☺️☺️

[@jamieb2289]

Steph you are missing out on Pen15! It's even funnier because it's adults playing teenagers! Plus, it really hits on some powerful coming of age experiences, in a heartfelt way

[@Lilianamarie999]

Definitely into the concept. Love your storytelling from day one. It's part of your talent. It ain't got to be always that deep but our experiences shape who we are. The hair, skin, and body issues alone I can relate to. Pen15 is poignant and hilarious to me. But I been goofy all my life. It took me all of season one to get the title 😂

[@LivLyfe]

I legitimately LMAO at some point(s) of all your story times 😂 thank you for sharing your gift with us ❤

[@blizzlenizzle]

This story had me in TEARS 😂😂😂

[@ForMySoulSistas]

Don't ever stop story telling you're so good at it! In middle school I understood very quickly that I was not the most desirable girl (dark skin, no shapes yet) I was a bit bullied too. I preferred high school

[@ladyofrage22]

You're the most relatable person on this site. I enjoy and relate to so many of your stories. I'm glad you're still here and finding your way with this. ❤

[@cynthiagates9627]

Middle school was hell for me. I experienced the same thing, with wearing a 'pony tail' and the like only it was the other black kids ( the black girl's specifically) that made my life hell for wearing it. Funny thing is, that many of them also wore their hair in weaves and protective styles but I wasn't a part of their little group and they ganged up on me. Year after year. I also didn't weigh much more than a wet noodle so there was that too. Listening to your story brought it all back, and I can reflect on it with a more mature mindset that I couldn't then, but that shit still hurts. We were supposed to have each other's back, not pick on someone so relentlessly that it lead to questioning reality and your place in it. Thank you for being so open in your story :)

[@laurendilaurentis6467]

I’m so proud of you for standing up for yourself 🥹🥹 something I hope more young black girls are able to do for themselves

[@ItsReallyBre]

I cannot with you😂 not Paul wall Thanks for making me laugh!

[@sj5218]

Your storytelling skills are absolutely top tier ! You’re one of the only people I can just sit and listen to endlessly, and you actually make me chuckle 🤭. You are a true gem 🫶🏾✨ And I’m glad you grew out of tripping people 😭😭😭😭🤭👊🏾 Your stories are so relatable, even though I grew up in a mostly black community I have still gone through a lot of the same things!

[@lianadotjpeg]

Your story times are why I initially started watching you! I love the story times. More, please.

[@94pinkbaby]

This story resonates with the “I bought it, it’s mine!” 😂 Great video!

[@Peinaj]

This was so good, I laughed because it was so relatable. It was in middle school that I also had my first experience with bullying, including teachers, and all of the -isms, all if which I didn't have the language for at the time. "Kids are cruel in middle school" but I don't see discourse about the abuse from the adults: teachers, hospitality staff, and etc in middle school.

[@jenniefortune3905]

I started laughing as soon as you started talking about tripping people lmaooooo

[@c0987791]

Went to a predominantly white elementary school and only had minor bad experiences. A fight between me and another girl because she didn’t like me or my skin. Under threat of being expelled by the principal, we quickly decided to put our differences behind us. Otherwise, there were the “you can use my brush” in the bathroom comments which weirded me out because I never shared those types of personal items. I may not have experienced all of the negativity you did (although a racial slur was spray painted on our garage door when we moved in) but I can definitely empathize. That’s why I always tried at home to build my little sister’s (darker complexion than mine) confidence by reminding her how intelligent and beautiful she is. In later years, she told me how much it meant to her to always hear that from me. Black (and each and every other color/ complexion) is beautiful. I’ll be so happy when colorism ends.

[@KillerKyuubi]

Funny how you mention enjoying writing because some time ago, I was wondering if you ever considered writing a fictional dramatic story and then making that a storytime video of it. Your delivery of stories is really fantastic and entertaining.

[@halimabridgeman2264]

I just love to hear you talk. I don’t know what it is but am always interested to hear what you have to say ❤

[@Kikedra]

My experience was VERY similar. That time was a big confidence destroyer; so glad for growth and understanding in adulthood.

[@tambariw]

Girl, you are a survivor 😂😂😂. Great story 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@reequanzafremont1503]

Thank you for sharing this. I always appreciate your stories and I relate so much to that difficult middle school expierence. I also expierenced my hair falling out in middle school and alot of my self-esteem issues in the future probably started there as well. I am also glad to hear that you and Malibu were still good friends after for how ever long it lasted.

[@rainicewaller6210]

Steph, this was classic, I really enjoyed this story. I was following you on IG, I miss your post. I'm not Sure if you changed your name, hope all is well

[@sunflowerlady2057]

Thanks for sharing this. I was a Black girl from the suburbs. I related a lot to this especially the internalized anti-blackness experienced from other Black kids. Middle school was a terrible time. Glad I’m grown 😅

[@Mschuchii333]

Love these coming of age stories. You’re great at them! Glad you’re able to find a way to share stories without compromising your own personal boundaries.

[@LiaStarUpHigh]

The stories is how I fell in love with the youtube channel

[@jessicacrawford238]

Middle school was the absolute worst for me. I literally would not go back for million dollars 😣

[@MelissaB75]

Not Nick Carter to Paul Wall 😂

[@mymy_sweetiepie2692]

So, yeah. Early teen era was definitely a "Don't look at me" phase. I used to dress in all black, braids basically covering my face and the only skin I showed was my face and hands. One day, I decided to wear a dress. By lunchtime, the people that had heard I was dressed up but hadn't seen me yet were looking for me. Everyone was talking about me being dressed up! Girl, I changed into a black shirt and pants immediately because the attention was freaking me out. I had a change in clothes in my backpack just in case. Sigh lol

[@brittney1591]

Love this idea Steph!! I love your stories so much

[@brittneycurtis4928]

You have such a talent for storytelling! Please keep making content like this!! Please keep making content in general. Love your channel! ❤❤❤🎉

[@mrsshadezofgray]

😂😂 You were living life on the edge

[@dawndiscusses5685]

Thank you for sharing Steph. I had a similar situation occur in my high school and I've carried a lot of shame about that day and my desirability ever since. I was also in a language class with a Karen-like teacher, in a high school that had those racial dynamics and as you described the moment and everyone's reaction my heart started beating really really fast. Mine happened a little more recently but I hope with time I can look back at it and be able to speak about it the way you are in this video. Thank you for sharing, I'm in my mid 20s and it's still a sore point for me.

[@tierras6085]

😂😂😂. You had me rolling. The way you tell me stories. I grew up in a the hood and went to a black school so weaves, hair pieces, braids weren't a big thing.

[@AnakinsMom]

13:30 I think the word you are looking for is spectacle!

[@kkahin3557]

BEST story teller EVER! ❤you need to write books, scripts

[@venuslove-i1v]

This brought me back! I remember when I first started trying to get the hair pieces and straighten my hair with damaging levels of heat was because other girls would make fun of my hair. I love this story. So relatable.

[@destinydivine8465]

Just commented on your other video that you need to write a book!! So awesome

[@jay_islove85]

I love your channel and your storytelling. I’m with you where ever you choose to take this channel. I just really like you! ❤❤❤❤ you almost at 100k 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I hope you can close out the year with 100k🎉🎉🎉 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

[@AlaciaLaRobin]

Stephanie!!! Chile. We all have the bad hair years of adolescence. My hair broke off too. I wore a track all of ninth grade. 😂😩

[@yom8058]

Yay!!!!! I literally was hoping you would tell a story, any story.

[@andreyamatthew2035]

I absolutely loveeee your storytimes🤩🤩🤩🤩 I respect the boundaries you've put up with what kinds of stories you share now and I'm loving the commentary content. I felt like I was there with you in your story and I felt everything! Middle school wasn't the absolute worse for me but I definitely had a lot of embrassing moments. Once a boy sitting behind was throwing paper balls on my puff and the trach apparently didn't notice for most of the class so by the end of it I had atleast 10 pieces of paper in my hair and ppl were silently chuckling. Funny enough we became friends later and I had a crush on him, middle school is so damn weird. Sidenote: I'm giving you the ultimate Kudos for teaching middle school my Mom used to teach it as well and I think middle school teachers deserve all the prasie bc it's such a weird time for kids so it can be a lot to manage for them and the teachers.

[@anhserc3534]

Girl! you had my stomach bubblin building up to an end i already could assume was coming😫and yet... AND YET... I held my breath and started cramping up starting at the akward embarrassing 'stand up and take a bow' teacher moment and got worse from there! THE CRINGE IS SO REAL!!!

You’re a great storyteller.

[@nene8120]

pen15 was so relatable for me 😭 i couldn’t believe it

[@TITLEWA]

Girl I love you so much this was absolutely hilarious. I don't even know how to describe my middle school experience. I had a lot of anxiety going into middle school because I knew I had social anxiety and would probably struggle a bit making friends.. which ended up being true. I knew being dark skin would probably cause me to be made fun of.. which also ended up being true. Except it was just little insulting comments every once and awhile, not consistent bullying and harassment which was nice lol 6th grade was a complete blur, 7th grade I started making a nice group of girlfriends and by 8th grade, I had a strong crew, I got a little attention from boys, my boobs were in so I kept the top buttons of my uniform shirt unbuttoned and MySpace had just become big so the social life became quite intense lol I was honestly having a blast by 8th grade.

[@86diana]

I love your storytelling!😍

[@Itshetta]

Your videos really has helped me so much, in general. It’s always so relaxing watching you❤❤

[@sodaswirls]

*I would be real loud in grade school because the grade that I was in started treating me bad when I moved in with my dad and didn't have as much money to dress nice... so I would snap back at people and be loud and one time my grade 8 teacher yelled out at the top of her lungs in the middle of class "and you wonder why nobody likes you!" That still sticks with me today. She went on to become the principal. She reached out this year on facebook.. 30 years later, She wanted to give me back a book I'd made that she kept all these years. I got the book, but I had her leave it in my mailbox. There was a note, and it says something like she hoped I was doing well, and I can't help but think maybe her doing that, stayed with her too.*

[@michaelmitchell5098]

I’m so glad I found your channel! You are doing something totally different than what I normally watch just in time. It was past time for a change for my viewing habits.

[@IyannC]

Oh wow. This was hilarious, had to share it with my mom. We all have cringy moments. Amazing story telling. Keep it up! ❤

[@fixthatface483]

More of these please Steph!! I did LOL a few times, not gon lie🤣🤣🤣
