When I get bullied, it's not how the media portraits it.
The worst bullies make fun of you in a more hidden way, not threatening, but pretending to be friendly, while treating you like a baby. I hate those types of bullying

@8onnie8oyz

The worst bullying I've had was verbal harassment.

@vyzxc

like 99% of modern age bullying is exactly this: "make fun of you in a more hidden way, not threatening, but pretending to be friendly, while treating you like a baby" "you can't lash out on them without looking like an asshole" and its really the most effective way to bully someone now. if you get physical you get in trouble almost if not always so you get mental instead

@louisianadeerslayer

The worst bullying is either ostracism or fake friends being assholes

@WeirdTale

I'm 32 and back in 2007 in highschool they made fun of me, pissed on my backpack, beat the shit out of me. THAT was bullying.

@steelraven117

Honestly if middle schoolers saw an average middle school friend group 4 years ago they would think we were like 20

@elladrawswell

Here's the thing:

I WAS bullied. Not like indirect, either. Like I'd get shoved, punched, get cornered on the bus, called names, one kid threw random shit at me with his friends (a few years later he got arrested for meth possession, lol).  A group of guys even planned to jump me in the hall before my friend overheard and intervened. And this would go into high school, so it was real. I didn't quite understand why, because it happened throughout k-12 and some specific kids would taunt me from like first grade into tenth. If I was quiet, I would get bullied. If I was talkative, I would get bullied. I tried everything. Still bullied. 

I saw other people get bullied too, specifically special needs kids. One guy being taunted while eating his lunch said "I'm a human like you guys, please stop," and these kids didn't stop. It was heartbreaking. I told a supervisor about it, I don't care if that's snitching because that kid shouldn't have to suffer. I'm on the spectrum (yes, diagnosed), but with little need for support and excelled academically so my experience was different from special ed kids but I was still an easy target due to my poor understanding of social cues.

This is all to say that my opinion on this differs from yours because, unlike you, I experienced bullying in many forms. I can say it is still very much an issue, but the difference is that shit gets recorded and the internet exists so that means long-term repercussions. So the new tactic for these offenders is to bully away from the cameras, away from other people, and choose the right targets so they won't get called out for their shitty behavior.

Cartoon Network and other anti-bullying campaigns definitely got some things wrong and stated the obvious when they could have gone way more in depth with what the effects of bullying are, as well as the long-term consequences of harassing a student. I still think some level of campaigning should take place to instill empathy in the new generation of k-12 students because BULLYING DOES HAPPEN.

One final thought I have is, despite my experiencing harsher bullying than gossip, I still consider it bullying in some cases; it is defined as social bullying when measures are taken to deliberately exclude and isolate a person, without good reason, from one or more social circles. Humans are social creatures and excluding someone deliberately with the knowledge of potential mental harm towards the recipient is a cruel measure.

Those are just my thoughts. Cool video

@willh0717

As someone in school, the closest thing that happens to bullying is someone makes fun of the annoying kid in class and most of us laugh. I wouldn’t really say anyone in 7th grade or above at my school is “soft.”
W cheets

@Briyte14

No anti bullying videos are like this like fights wedgies or swirlies, it’s gossip, it’s isolation, it’s teasing and the false prospect of having friends. At least for me.

@thatonegirl2025

I’m in middle school. Gossip is the real thing. No bullying. I swear that shit is made up. NO ONE is shoving kids into lockers or taking glasses.

@Ghostkidmovies

My school went from basic bullying to literal racism
(OMG thanks for the likes yall)

@sunstar-r7e

I feel like bullying used to be physical with school fights and weggies but now due to school rules, physical violence of any kind (in my school) becomes cause for expulsion and now the least the “bully” can do is just hurt you mentally 😵‍💫

@-raspberry_river-

I feel like I was apart of the very rare percentage of when bullying became an actual serious problem. So I’m gonna explain quickly. (TW: self murder)

I was friends with one of the bullies at the time. And basically what happened was that my friend and 2 others had been bullying another girl on discord. I didn’t know her very well and the girl and I only spoke a few times.

I was completely oblivious until the cops got involved and visited the school to interview my friend and the 2 others. It had turned out they drove that girl into attempting self murder, and the only reason I didn’t know bc I only had YouTube as my media source. It was the most disgusting part of my entire experience with school so far, and I’m glad everyone involved left the school, so I don’t have contact with any of them.

I just hope that the girl managed to find a good therapist and she’s doing okay.

@gachal0ve12

bullying is still VERY real. my classmate killed herself last week and another kid tried to shoot up my school this week. both from bullying

@The_Crimson_Guy

I was bullied for like 4 weeks and you know what I did? I went to the principal’s office because I was not gonna deal with that bs and after that, it stopped!

@EliRose-oo1lx

I'm a highschooler and no One has the balls to do anything like bullying it's mostly just gossip or talk.

@galaxyfam6471

Damn this video is really out here gaslighting people that bullying doesn’t exist

@NeverNader

As someone who dropped out of kindergarten, I find this info extremely useful

@Imman2988

I find it funny when bullies try to do shit in real life, like it's a movie. When I was a senior, this one racist and anti-semetic freshman tried being cool by insulting me out loud in the middle of class in front of two teachers. He was scolded by both of them. And the kid just shrugged his shoulders, put his hands up, and with a smug smile on his face asked them: "What's the big deal? He doesn't even care." While pointing over at me with a hand. Expecting them to laugh. Meanwhile, I'm looking at him with a "Are you benjg serious right now" face. Because I genuinely did not expect him to do something that dumb in front of two teachers. He was the only one laughing at his joke. No one else was.

@ARM4170

Obviously "not big of a deal" if you ddint experience it. 

For many like me, (I graduated) we experienced bullying during our years in school. I recall being hit, pushed around, getting called names, touched inappropriately, getting skin burns from objects thrown at me (a live battery), etc. Very insensitive of you to brush it off like that.
