TO THIS DAY PROJECT REACTION!!!

[@nathandaniel5451]

"the worst thing about pain isn't that it hurts, it's that it's normal" -Shane Koyczan

[@alexiadecianu]

Here is why he was laughing. My friend says that we laugh when we are tickled because it hurts. We don't feel it because our brain chooses to hide the pain by laughing. We smile so we could feel nothing inside. Because our hearts are empty, we're laughing but our souls are crying. Our hearts are emptied by the conflict.

[@zhard7890]

Sometimes you just have to... laugh away some things...

[@MadBoyChes]

Laughter keept me from killing my self because I got picked on a lot

[@danielfire8164]

Dawn Shimmer you laugh away the pain, but there is still pain. You laugh to hide yourself.

[@alphawolf0392]

Dawn Shimmer kind of like the two masks where one is laughing when the one beneath it is crying

[@georgerobins4110]

I actually have a friend who laughs when she cries, so I almost didn't notice

[@lizzlover4855]

I cried when the "picked last for basketball" came.

[@LawlKhat]

joke?

[@vademarofxeroes8416]

L i z z L o v e r What made me laugh is the reaction people when they think it's funny then end up sad

[@Planet_Drool]

+Daemon Blackfyre some people laugh when they start getting sad or mad

[@TOXICPUCK]

+Daemon Blackfyre some people laugh when they are nervous or don't know how to react. i laugh hysterically while getting shots because i am nervous.

[@Stuck313]

+L i z z L o v e r ...Are you Jew by any chance?

[@lumiXmoonmoon]

So I was bullied from 3rd grade to 9th grade, getting beat up by guys and girls, I ended up getting a concussion from a prank some girl thought would be harmless bullying, but it changed my life, I was a straight A student and I needed up forgetting how to do math, read music, I was already depressed from the bullying but I was put on all kinds of medications, for anxiety as well as ADD that I gained from the concussion. To this day, I'm still affected by those memories, and every time I watch this video, it mikes me cry, either tears of sadness and anger, or relief, because the torment that was put on my for 6 years is over now, but like I said it affects me everyday with medications and counseling... But I live by that phrase, They were wrong, because I'm still here. Despite the many suicide attempts, despite the fact that I had to relearn school material to be able to graduate, I'm still here, and I'm not just trying to live my life to the fullest, but I'm just trying to live. Thank you guys for watching this video. You are amazing.

[@LunaBirbosa]

You're a beautiful soul and I hope you're still living your best life!

[@angieasadi3583]

I memorized this whole poem and 3 others by the same guy. I'm so proud of myself haha

[@treyatkins8413]

+angie asadi You should seriously go around to others reciting it. This is what helps people stay alive.

[@monochrome9837]

Me too

[@sayacontreras8225]

THIS NEED TO BE SHOWN TO EVERY SCHOOL

[@saturnitiez]

+KewlJewl I've watched it about 7 times with my class at school

[@leocerero6177]

I watch this in my school

[@Miyumi0323]

Saya Contreras My English teacher shows this to her class every year even though she has been in middle schools and high schools.

[@summerl6349]

Saya Contreras my school played this video in an assembly and I almost cried but I didnt cause I didnt wanna cry in front of my friends

[@foxx.on.saturn5143]

Agreed

[@GoddessGamer]

I think this needs to be show in every school to every teacher, if I have to do a report and I need to include a video, this would be it

[@sheebitz]

I think the same thing.

[@CoPilot121]

they showed us this in an anti bullying assembly.

[@isaachepworth7066]

+Hayden Franco that's how I found it XD

[@sophiedozeman1162]

I did a presentation on this last year in my class and it’s my favorite presentation I’ve ever done

[@MoonPopsXD]

I was in the middle of class and my English teacher showed us his poetry. So after we watched "shoulders" the teacher played this, by the end i had to leave the classroom for a minute because of how emotional i got. I truly enjoyed seeing your reactions, it's nice to hear other people's opinions on this.

[@lpsdragonwolf2042]

To This Day, They were Wrong. About the slightest inch of Beauty. About the Broken Hearts and Lonely Kids who played alone at recess. About a Butterfly who was trapped in Loneliness and Pain. About the Cracked Mirror that could never be Replaced! We were called Monsters and Freaks! Like we were in a Zoo who people just stared and laughed that us! But to This Day, They were wrong. -W¤lf

[@lpsdragonwolf2042]

[@eduardoarias1394]

[@ibshane02]

thank you

[@AverageCarl69]

In 4th grade. The morning was.. Horrible. I cried and begged my mom to let me stay home, please.Please.I got to school, my face was red and my eyes were watery. They threw paper airplanes at me.I wasn't aloud to sit by the nicer people. It was rare for someone to say to me; "Hi. Wanna be friends?"At the playground they told me; "Don't talk to me or I'll punch you again." I'd sit on the swings and stay silent. At lunch they would throw food and blame it on me. I told the teachers what they do and she rolled her eyes and told me to go back to my seat. Later, at home, I looked at my scissors and then looked at my computer.I looked back at the scissors. I tried cutting myself but they were cheap, nothing happened. I sheded a tear and walked to my computer. I got on a website, Animal Jam. Went to the pillow room and talked to some cyber bullies. I went to my friend and she was nice enough to give me a spike. We talked and I told her about bullying and cyber bullying and how it felt. It felt nice to talk about it. It felt nice to have a friend for the first time. I'm rambling, no-one is gonna read this anyways.. if you read this then know that this could be a real persons situation someone you see through as just a clear wall or a object that is just taking up space this could be you this could be someone right now as we speak on this planet we so called earth. This is someone. And everyone is someone..

[@enchantedms4785]

I scratch my self till I bleed people make fun of me because of my grades and then they call me smarty wait what animal jam helps alot can you buddy me I cherryblossom172

[@PinkAugust0]

Alex0the0great123 Gaming another person said the same exact thing as you weird 😒

[@Leucian5005]

I get a lot of this, I am both more and less lucky than you, my scissors are sharpened titanium and my nails are filed into sharpened claws, that is how I do.

[@enchantedms4785]

Leucian The RNGesus my nail are like claws no legit joke XD and when I scratch my self I leave scares it sucks

[@xeroalt-elle769]

Alex0the0great123 Gaming im so sorry for you

[@oliviaparsons8901]

You built a cast around your broken heart, and signed it yourself. You signed it "They were wrong." I'm getting that tattooed on my body one day.

[@oliviashea8194]

My math teacher showed me this video, because my school wouldn't hold an assembly for something as important as this. She wasn't even allowed to, and more than half of us were in tears, and we just hugged. The video was so beautiful

[@DomR1997]

That didn't depress me. It made me feel better. It's positive in a way. It'll make the sad, lonely, depressed people feel a little less alone. A little less isolated. It will remind us that there's other people out there. I didn't go out to recess for a long time. Starting at grade 3. I stayed in the library and read so the kids couldn't bother me. Things like this help people. Because it reminds us that we're not alone.

[@kahuhema2947]

i come back to this atleast a once a month, thank you ♥️

[@tehdominator17]

This video is very important to me. It shows that in my struggles I'm not fighting alone. I have a silent army understanding and supporting me through their own struggles and victories. Thank you for doing this video and making sure more people see it.

[@Proteus2905]

And so there was this voice. a single voice speaking for countless voices that remain unheard. Finally.

[@alexischandler9359]

I found this poem about a year ago and ever since then it is my favorite poem. I listen to it once a day for a reminder and I have listened to it so much I have memorized it word for word. I can relate somewhat to all of them and so I cried for the few months I listened.

[@StarlessGaze]

I love how the guy was commenting a bit in the beginning but as it went through, he was silent. That is the impact of this poem. As you listen to it, it engulfs you and you are at a loss for words

[@moorhua]

My teacher played this to the class today. I straight up bawled. I didn’t care. He is Canadian and I am so inspired by him. Stay strong everybody.

[@winxclubfairiesrule1]

I was introduced to this video about 3 or 4 years ago. My 10th grade English teacher played this for us at the beginning of the school year. I've been in love with it ever since because this really speaks about issues that are prevalent in today's society,

[@AnthonyB96]

This is the first video I ever saw on this Channel. To this day it's still my favorite video.

[@dancetards396]

same

[@koiiz1969]

Anthony Burgos same

[@driftqueen2987]

"To This Day its still my favorite video." Nice mixing a pun in there x3

[@rhythmframebige6090]

There's nothing wrong with crying. It helps you feel better. It's not a sihn of weakness, it's a sign of strength.

[@donaldmcronald6796]

Damn, the sad part is that this happens every day

[@crystalgemgirl731]

Tell me about it. High school was hell for me, I'm traumatized because of how much I was bullied. Thankfully, they didn't get physical.

[@christianrenata8556]

Thanks reel rejects you all are legends :)

[@sallewellyn0]

First time I saw this video of Shane's poem, I was on the couch at my overnight job and I had to shove my shirt into my face to keep from waking my clients from the sobbing. It was a turning point. Glad he writes and speaks. he's amazing

[@rheyvencosca7415]

I let my classmates call me shrimp i like shrimps :)

[@knawyrc1888]

a kid put shrimp in my mouth before cause im allergic to it

[@Dm-tu4wf]

+Iam Baman xD

[@knawyrc1888]

+Delano Myrie it's a different view of the expression "i'm allergic to you" you shrimp

[@missniss1270]

I've watched the real video a thousand times memorizing the words like a song. Wondering why people could do such a thing😔

[@dondi6709]

I love you

[@BernicePanders]

11:17 - "People just don't want to deal with pain that isn't theirs." That's why I don't have friends. Literally my whole life is pain, depression, anxiety & dying from stress. 💔😞

[@valennns817]

Well, I know this comment was made three years ago but I saw this video when I was a teenager, and I understand a lot of people have the same problem! So here is the question, actually, what do you think about this?

[@DaniAnn]

I love how their faces went from smiling and happy to totally distraught

[@cycrie1602]

I love seeing people react to this as it brings a tear to my own eye thinking about how truthful this is to me ... and always will be

[@weasel990]

I hate that you guys were ever pickedon, your both awesome, the videos you to do together are always my favourites

[@OctoberCountryy]

[@ashtonrosales1671]

''Why are you laughing?'' My defense mechanism

[@radtadghostdad9077]

I'm 14 and the guy who made that poems was so good at explaining how much it hurts to be called names I started crying.

[@mysteriousclem1980]

Watched this poem 7 times i get chills every time

[@zapdood9280]

It hurts my heart watching this poem that i cannot even cry to express it.

[@aryanneberlin4481]

Depression is the feeling of not being able to be happy. It's not that you're sad but it's that you know you will never be able to experience joy ever again.

[@shootemuploft]

I didn't cry but my heart did for those poor kids.

[@IgnorantDodo]

I love Ryan's face as he realizes this is a seriously melancholical video. It's like what the fuck is happening right now?

[@kieraday4947]

I watched this video too many times. But when I watched it in my room alone last night at the part that says "You wrapped your broken heart in a cast and signed it yourself saying they were wrong!" I paused the video, put down my phone, covered my face with my hands and sobbed. I sobbed for the girl and the boy and for myself and for everyone because I can relate! I understand the pain! You can't say sticks and stones hurt more than names because if they eat you alive with your soul included how does that hurt less than a broken bone?! It hurts! It feels like the blades of knives searing through your skin cutting deep into your heart and killing you slowly! It hurts to be called names! It does! And I loved this video because it represents everything! It represents pain. And I love it.

[@mattheweliasen9975]

To this day, i still cry while watching that video

[@tanmang42]

My dad's boss's son committed suicide because of bullying... I wish I could've showed him this before he did it... His funeral was just today... NEVER commit suicide... Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. You may think that you are just a shadow that nobody cares about when you are loved by EVERYONE... If you kill your self you just made every person you've met depressed. They'll think it was because of them and they might even commit suicide themselves because of you... Don't do it, there's so much to live for in life.

[@97Multiphantom]

I've seen the To This Day Project video a bunch of times and no matter how many times I see it I cry. It's great to see their reaction

[@SeTHeMouse]

You and me

[@zoezamora6192]

I'm glad that this is one of those videos that never gets old. You could watch it everyday for years and it would hit you just as hard as the first time, maybe even harder because you could find the little details that might change some of the meanings.

[@nba2k1122]

RYANNN!!!! WATCH THE MAN IN THE WOODS VIDEO!! ITS REALLY GOOD!!

[@cameronhenderson5981]

Yes watch man in the woods its really good

[@PianoPrinceOfAnime]

One word...Clannad hahahhahaha

[@cameronhenderson5981]

that's awesome thanks

[@alexbaker4221]

That's really off topic...

[@symanthaisawesome]

No matter how many times I watch To This Day, I cry.

[@josejimenezmota4570]

Listen to "The Crickets Have Arthritis" by the same poet. It's just as depressing as this one so... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

[@ugkl997]

I find it strange for anyone to dislike this video. It was beautiful, truly amazing. Breath taking in every way. Yet, they don't like it. It saddens me because maybe they don't understand. Or maybe, they understand too much. I'd like to know why they don't like it because my narrow mind can't find a reason

[@kieferwickham9311]

You should watch Imagine A World Where Being "Gay" The Norm & Being "Straight" Would Be The Minority!

[@oliviaclove4582]

They totally should!

[@Xavier_Thine_Rat]

+Kiefer Wickham i only watched that because it was in my recommendation box and it annoyed me. but im so glad i watched it

[@aryanamoreau4487]

This made me cry bc Ik what it felt like to be picked on bc of my appearance at a young age😕 I've always been called all types of rude insults bc I was very small and skinny and this video really brings me back to those memories that still go on in my life now(sorry for the long comment😅) Have an amazing day to anyone reading this😊✌

[@gabialas8008]

I always watch the reaction videos to "to this day" and find it amusing how they react once he finishes telling his story and then heads deeper into the story like how their smiles fade away

[@thomasblond431]

That was a great reaction,good job...The best thing you can do is just be there in whatever way that person needs. I'm subing

[@nerdyhats3433]

I actually did this for one of my finals in my speech class and got three of the students in my class to start crying so I guess I did a good job!

[@thatpianoguy91]

Wow... That video was so powerful, and so gorgeously animated. I definitely can relate to alot of those things...

[@GrungeGamingVoidfell]

It makes me cry EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.....

[@joecyr2045]

Damn man this really tugs on your heartstrings. Thanks for this video man :)

[@TheDarkshadows30]

I don't think I have tears left in my body... Btw you guys aren't alone in that.. I may be a stranger but if you ever need someone to listen to you, I am always here. That goes for anyone who reads this. I can listen, I can talk, and I can try to play doctor and try to heal the scars on your heart.

[@AndrewKendall71]

So glad that watching Ryan's brilliant and insightful over-the-top wackiness brought me to the ToThisDay video.

[@willfrancis4967]

Ryan you are my favourite channel on youtube by far. Keep up the good work.

[@katian.amparo9242]

Binged watched your There's A Man In The Woods (intense), Trolls (Had me tight chested) and now To This Day and I cried throught it. Such amazing visuals and spoken word art. Parts spoke to me. bah! Anyways love your videos, Ryan. That joke at the end tho. xD

[@shehanvanhoff1]

i wanted you guys to watch this for ages, thank you. p.s there is a longer version.

[@shehanvanhoff1]

***** yea man, i messaged you guys once asking to watch it.

[@rachael3907]

when I first heard this I was crying so much that there was no point in wiping my tears cause they just kept coming out

[@emilysolorzano6443]

Whenever I come home from school, To This Day, is the video that helps me get through the next day at school

[@breezepawlt]

I remember fourth grade . . . Fourth grade was the worst year of my life. In third grade I moved schools, I had no friends. In fourth grade I got my first friends, great friends. My friends became friends with another girl, Anna was her name. I never really liked Anna, she didn't seem trustworthy, but I decided to give her a chance. She spread gossip about me, told people I did horrible things... Then she said that I bullied her But she was bullying me. When my friends heard the gossip they hated me, it had been a couple of days, I didn't know yet, all I knew is they were ignoring me. One day we went on a field trip and we were at a park playing around. My guy friend came up to me, he came up to me and I remember exactly what he said: "Amber, we need to run, NOW." "What? Why?" "Y-your friends, they're basically out to get you, HURRY!" I held his hand and we ran as fast as we could We ran around the entire place as my old 'friends' recruited people and continued to chase us. All I have to say is I'm glad I didn't know what self harm was at the time.

[@detroitbecomehumanfan3043]

You poor thing....such a story I know how it feels (Also I’m a Hamilton fan too I love your channel name :3)

[@alexischandler9359]

I was bullied so much. I had been depressed for years and I've tried so hard to get better. But you always have those days.

[@meganrice8474]

[@vvtofucandyvv671]

[@ninavillalon9136]

Love the reactions ! Awesome vid too

[@Clarissa_Pineiro]

I know the words to this poem because it's so inspirational!!! I love this poem!!!!

[@bravestar7593]

This video has inspired me to keep going..... Im in middle school, 7th grade... Middle school sucks.... Im starting to have a feeling im adopted.... im so... different from everyone.. I try to take it as a good thing.... others make it a terrible thing... like im a beast.... a freak... sience then... i have been... suicidal... I try to hide the pain that eats my soul...I dont know how much longer I have, till im.... gone. Thanks for the speech.

[@shortstack8208]

If you were adopted, dont feel bad about! It means that your adoptive parents CHOSE you, while everyone else might not have been their real parents first choice, they chose you. If you arnt adopted, it means they kept you because they love you the way you are!

[@bravestar7593]

Thanks, still... I have a feeling, forgoten. I dont know, but thanks for the little speech.

[@shortstack8208]

I try. i hate seeing people sad(unless their that bad character in an anime that everyone hates.)

[@alexbaker4221]

One thing that's really off topic/..

[@GamesofAssassins]

Beautiful PREACH IT!!!

[@razana.1119]

All schools need to show this and spread more awareness about bullying instead of saying be nice and then go on with there day because after awhile I learned that will never stop someone from hurting you.We need to spread more awareness to these big topics instead of hiding it and acting like it’s not real like it’ll never happen.But the world doesn’t want to let people know that life isn’t easy that life is painful.

[@chrism4886]

Your faces went from 😀 to 😟 so fast. LOL

[@CacunBrito]

Fighting means you could lose. Bullying means you can't. A bully wants to beat somebody; he doesn't want to fight somebody...

When you get a mr clean add befor this

[@drsnufulufugus533]

Cole Murphy 😂

[@owendelaney6148]

Her face.... Lol. Such a good poetic video.

[@howdydoo19]

I'm really glad that they waited until after the video before talking too much about it, I sometimes find it annoying when some reaction channels constantly paused the video to talk.

[@rzgarcia3689]

my teacher showed is this poem in school and we had to reflect on it. I'm not gonna lie, I cried. since my teacher showed me this, I watch it so much now.

[@wolflover1131]

When I was in elementary school I was bullied a lot and it never really stopped till 7th grade, but when I had recess staying inside was never an option for me... I hated the teachers because they told me just walk away, but you cant walk away because they follow you, there's nothing you can do unless someone actually listens to you and it sucks

[@newlynsunna3654]

I was bullied. I can relate to this video. I actually became friend with more weird kids than popular kids. And "To This Day" they are Family.

[@ferglenut9895]

I had to watch this in school. I tried so hard not to cried. Somehow I succeeded. When I got home I watched it again and didn't even last a minute

[@pinktatortotprincess5991]

saw this.like 5 times but i always cry

[@TheJstuckey23]

9 years later… always relatable

[@jessicafisher3749]

omg such a beautiful speech😇😇

[@chihironiich.9335]

My friend died from a suicide attempt because of bullying. I tried I was there for her, I let her know that. I told her she was beautiful, I told her how wonderful she was I stuck up for her. I did everything in my power to make sure she didn't believe them. Even confronting her bullies. It wasn't enough. After she did die, I was shocked to see so many of our fellow students not care saying things like "yay she's finally dead!" I was a mess, a total mess. I even stuck up for her after she was gone. Which in turn caused me to be subjected to bullying. I miss her so much, she was one of my closet friends and still is and will be for the rest of my life. I just wish I could of done more, put a little more effort in. I just didn't know how to help, so all I could do was tell her THAT THEY WERE WRONG that she wasn't ugly or any of the other things they said you want to know why they bullied her? because she was in a house fire when she was young and her skin on the right side of her face was burned.

[@jameshercals9651]

I appreciate how the gild that was making obviously stupid and fake sad expressions in the beginning started to take it seriously later on.

[@beeb5473]

I know every word to to this day and I love it so much.

[@The_Enigma_Den]

I started being bullied when I was 11 I stopped going school and never left the house I ended up becoming extremely depressed, one day my older brother came home from school he walked up to me and said I have a video to show you he didn’t explain what it was he just started playing it and walked out the room it was to this day I remember watching it and slowly the tears began to fall it hit me hard, I’m now only 16 and my mental health has only gotten worse but every time I feel empty and completely done with life I remember what he did for me I listen to this a lot and every time I do I remember how he made me feel like I wasn’t alone like someone cared, him being an older brother who had always tormented me to then do that and show that he cared and that he understood if meant so much to me I’ve never thanked him but I feel like I should

[@CooperSnow]

Lol I swear Ryans reactions are the same for everything

[@disneycat4322]

I had to watch this video today for a school project even my teacher cried

[@kimchanreviews]

I know how that feels! really something I always held up inside.

[@amberb5930]

that describing bulling part is kinda my life.

[@TheSashaGreyExperience]

What gets me about this video is not how me and many others suffered but the ones the lost the battle like Amanda Todd

[@Bible-disciple]

love you guys

[@bengriffith00]

Now can u see how some of us feel we feel like we can't live end more and that is the worst feeling ever and this is how some of us feel so please get this poem out to the world
