"You were the third on my list." Fuck. Got me to tears, man.

[@FuriousStylezOfficial]

No kidding, gave me straight goosebumps...

[@LurchyScott]

Nothing like shaming people into defending someone they don't know. Bullying is shitty but at the same time like someone mentioned above, what happens if you intervened and that bully decided to pull a knife and stab you with it? So now you just intervened and are being rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Although it's not a likely scenario, it could happen. Now what should happen is not just one but two or three people standing up to the bully. That would make them think twice if they had a knife to pull. If one person stands there should be more to stand with them but no one will and it's for reasons I just stated. It's not that no one wants to help, they just don't want to risk their own lives if it came down to it and do you blame them?

[@LurchyScott]

Wall of text inbound lol ***** I personally would never be the first to step up. It's not that I'm cowardly or anything it's because I know the mind frame of how most people think. A bully will retreat if two stand up but one? Doubtful, especially if they have a concealed weapon. Also most of the time the bully won't outright pull the knife. It will be used as a surprise attack if they feel they are losing the fight. It happened to a buddy of mine awhile back. He was walking home one night from a party and he was a tad drunk. 3 teens (he said they were maybe 17-18) came up to him and complimenting him on his nice leather coat and then demanded he gave it to them. He told them to fuck off. The three of them tried to jump him. Big mistake on their behalf. He fought them off and they ran like little bitches but during the scuffle, one of them pulled a knife and stabbed in the side with it. He didn't even realize it until he started walking home again. Between the alcohol and the adrenaline rush, he simply didn't notice. He went to the hospital and was told he was lucky. If the blade was an inch longer, it would've punctured a vital organ and he most likely would've died. They never caught the guys either. That's the kind of shit that people don't think about when standing up. The chances are the stab will come when you least suspect it, not even giving the chance to properly defend against the attack. It's not worth my life. My friend was courageous for doing what he did and I don't blame him for doing it especially if it comes to defending your own well being but a stranger who might not feel the same way? Yea no thanks. Sorry for the rant lol.

You don't have to beat someone up. Of course it's an effective way and often also a good punishment for the bullies but for example I couldn't fight as I'm a fucking spaghetti lmao. So I couldn't fight but still didn't want to sit by and watch so what I did was befriend the dude that was constantly getting bullied. Even that simple friendship, letting this person know that he/she isn't alone and there is someone there that thinks about them is often enough to stop things such as school shootings.

[@doe6651]

I got suspended in the 5th grade for slapping my bully really hard when the teacher left the room for a second. And in 7th grade an 8th grader was bullying me for weeks. He rode my bus too, that didn't help any at all. One day I just got a "fuck it" feeling, and I got off on his stop and followed him halfway home, and beat the fucking shit out of him. There was some blood. I felt kind of bad for him, but at the same time I was standing over my bully. And no one really Ever tried to bully me after that

[@FelipeHitoki]

Used to get bullyed hard by a guy at School, you know the type who everybody likes, tries to play cool. One day he came at me, probably had some issues at home or whatever and punched me in the face, I was always against violence, so I got up, turned my back and about to leave class (teacher was not in the room, just 7 or 8 other peopl)... he came running after me, I turned and punched him right in the Jaw, he dropped unconscious for a couple minutes, lots of people came, he lost a 2 teeth, never bullied me again, but I was lucky to have the strength, always hated when others were bullying other people who were in phisical disadvantage, from that day one I started watching the back of 2 other boys in my class who used to be bullied really hard, tried to make things better for them too. Dont feel proud of hurting other people, but do feel proud of showing to these boys that not everyone is like that. 20 years passed and one of them still my best friend.

"Exception" There they go again, harassing this kid so easily His name is Andy, he grew up right down the street from me I barely know him though, I just see him in school while passing Usually followed by two kids giggling in back of him I don't know why I feel the need to interfere and I'll be honest The kid is obviously a little weird He's got a stutter, plus always talks to himself, but it is clear to me they shouldn't mess with him He probably wishes they'd disappear Like yeah, he's different, so? He ain't causing harm to anyone Yeah he might annoy them, not on purpose though He's never done something intentionally offensive like these other kids Like yelling "stop being a retard!" when they see him mumbling Or called him a faggot when he's saying something awkward Yeah, he lives with it, but he shouldn't have too any longer He's just a kid like any of us Matter of fact, next time I see him I'm gonna say something and have his back The next day ain't any better, they're abusing him Every day gets worse 'cause people accept it as they become used to it And he doesn't stand up but what can you do with that hate against you You call 'em out, he's called a spaz with some anger issues They hear but they don't listen, senseless They're hearing that bullies are everywhere thinking that there must be the exception But it's so alive and its so true They got open eyes but they don't view They got growing minds that they don't use And it's pulverizing our whole youth But to be honest, most of these bullies don't mean any harm They're just kids like any of us, they like to be in charge They like attention, but just lack guidance in getting it So they put others down, none of us are always innocent But that doesn't make it right, cause again I'm watching Andy get tortured by two of his peers with no reason in sight And I know he knows I watch and he sees me paying attention And It's getting worse and worse, I hope he knows that I respect him The next day Andy didn't show up to school and I was nervous He always came to this class, I wonder what was the purpose The same class had the two kids who been messing with him But without a target, both of them just blended right in Twenty minutes later, the class was pretty quiet As Andy walks through the door, he was shaking and crying As all heads slowly in sync turned, he pauses Then pulls a pistol out of his front pocket The girls screamed, the boys sat there terrified Nobody expected this but everyone knew the reason why And before anyone could say something fully Within seconds, two bullets flew into his bullies More screams as the bodies collapsed I felt I should say something cause I was the only one who had his back I said "It's over Andy, they're dead!

You need to understand why bullies do what they do, then you will know why you shouldn't beat up bullies and rather help them just as much as people who get bullied.

[@darkslayer13371]

Joseph Nicholas I mean I was bullied pretty badly in high school but I never wanted to shoot up my school. But yes people do have their breaking points. People do have that part of the brain that snaps and says, you know this bullying shit is getting out of hand and I must stop it, so they shoot their bullys and anyone else who just watched. But never once when I was getting bullied did I want to shoot up my school, or shoot those who were bullying me, I mean I wanted them to fucking be killed in the worse way possible or even hurt severally but I would never wish that upon a school for others to be terrified.

[@YYCFilmer]

I still watch this all the time. It's not just the people who bully, but those around you who don't say anything or do anything about the bullying that are equally as guilty.

Man this song is probably one of the most real videos I've ever seen in my life. Bullying in school or even in the work place takes a heavy toll on people. I don't care how old you are, what creed or religion, what race or color you are, bullying affects everyone heavily. Not being part of the problem is NOT enough. If you see it and don't do anything about it, you are automatically apart of the problem. Good intentions are not enough. If you see someone getting harassed and bullied and pretend like it's not happening, you are no better than the bullies. Thank you for making this video man

[@matttheman3923]

good words man. bullies a are a fucking problem. it's sad that people have to deal with this. I would have this kids back. high school isn't shit compared to the real world. I just wish the younger crowd would understand this. no matter what kind of bullshit you are going through, high school ends, and so does bullying. this guy could be the next leading software developer, or something awesome like that. bullying is not permanent. it's only done by those who are weak and insecure..... PUSSIES. I wish the world was kinder. there are a lot of people dealing with this that shouldn't have to.
