To This Day
I know this might've been shared on here before but I want to bring it back up.
I've been sharing this to anyone I can at my school. People have cried and others feel happy from the beauty message. I know almost everyone, if not everyone, have suffered from one sort of bullying...Let it be from friends, peers, family...Yourself. I want to know people's opinions on this, and if you feel comfortable, your stories on bullying.

I'm overweight (though I'm currently on a diet and exercising, so I'm gonna lose weight, obviously), so I was called fat or was made fun of for being fat. Only sometimes, though. Used to get to me, but then I realized that "Hell yeah, I'm a fat bastard!" and went on proudly.
So, no, I wasn't really bullied. Learned not to get offended at anything thrown at me and either shrug it off as someone's meagre and meaningless opinion or accept it as (at least partially) an honest criticism of my person.
Goldenpaladin ur into shane koyczan's poetry too? awesome! i found shane when mr enter reviewed shane's poem against bullying i have watched all the poems on his channel including this and they are awesome!
I am morbidly depressed because of this video.
Eh, I'll get over it.
Yeah, it can be very depressing...somewhat motivational too.

I've seen that too. It's really great.
Indeed his poems are art masterpieces he sends good morals and great messages across in his poems hes awesome
I'm happy you took your difference proudly, I'm glad you didn't sink into depression like most in that situation.
Love Shane Koyczan so much, here's my favorite poem by him:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoGUVoTc63s
"Life is composed of sound and fury, and whatever noise is left in me will be twice as loud when I try, so I plug myself into the idea of going the distance and I amplify."
They're amazing... he makes me cry sometimes.
I saw your comment on one of the "My Darling, Sara" videos.
Oh really? lmao
I love Shane Koyczan's poetry, it's amazing but it's his narration that does it for me. You can really hear the emotion in his voice and even though I've never had many experiences with bullying, I always seem to cry when I watch this video.
yus that's me
Its hard to be bullied if you dont let it bother you, people picked on me all the time. I used to let it get to me but there is no point, who cares what others say.
I really enjoyed that video, but I'm probably not the right person to talk about this. I keep telling myself in the history of the world there are millions of people who lived unhappily until they died. There is no law of the universe that guarentees that things will all work out and, statistically speaking, it's quite possible that I be one of those people who simply lives in misery and dies in it too.
It's like, we have a couple of trees in front of my house, and a bird built a nest up in one of them and later had chicks. One of the chicks had fallen out of the nest, and we found it dead the next day. I just remember my father saying 'nature can be cruel.' With every mating season there is going to be one or two of those hatchlings and there is nothing that ensures you aren't one of them.
And this is why I'm on happy pills...
Feelings, god dammit. I love his poetry. The Crickets Have Arthritis is the one who got me the most.
