To This Day Project

[T_Yamamoto]

Some of you may know me as being immature and not acting my age, but this thread is going to be one that will hopefully show the more mature and serious side of me.

Bullying occurs in schools everyday, it has happened to me (for as long as I can remember) and you probably have to.

I would like you to take 8 minutes out of your day today to watch this inspirational video that I have been watching every day for the last week. I end up bawling up and crying from watching this video.

The feelings that they express in the video, especially the part about "we grew up thinking no one would ever fall in love with us, that we would be lonely forever" That is exactly how I feel. I know you may feel as if this should be in L&R and whatnot, but I wanted to share this touching video to you ATOTers.

Kind regards

Takumi Yamamoto

Very kind of you to share this, T.

/glad you found that video comforting.

p.s. you don't really know bullying unless you've been hospitalized repeatedly and jailed by your school for causing the problem because you're not normal.

I found my worse years were 7 and 8. I was kinda an outcast then and picked on. Especially this one guy, always verbally abusing me. It was a zero tolerance school so just touching someone would practically get you suspended so in a way it was maybe good, though this guy was not really a physical type bully but verbal. To this day, I regret not punching him out and breaking all hits teeth. He was about my size, maybe even smaller. I would have got expelled for it, but think it would have been worth it. On the other hand, perhaps it was better I did not.

High school was actually not that bad, but I remember being terrified my first day. But things got so much better. I actually kind of miss those days.

I got bullied in middle school, then in high school I became the bully

Bawling. Bawling.

"Balling" is something else entirely.

Saw the video today, I like the animation a lot. It's a little melodramatic and his cadence/style aren't particularly unique but the wording is good.

Pretty cool.

probably but ive managed to stay tears-free for 20 years

I don't know if my school was odd or what, but I don't think anyone was really picked on too much. That is, at least not as far as I am aware, and I certainly wasn't popular.

Obviously you haven't watched Titanic

I cried just yesterday. The three onions I was chopping had nothing to do with it. Wife and I were watching the movie below and crying laughing.

Obviously you haven't watched Titanic

"War Horse" was more sad than this video.


But yea..bullying is bad. I was bullied in Elementary school, went to Middle School and started bullying a girl who lived in a hotel. Made her cry one day, felt bad. Stop bullying. High School, I was friends with everyone. College....everyone is a douchebag depending on how much they've drank.

Its that I could connect to this video. I couldn't find words to exactly describe how I felt but this video sorta filled that gap.
