[nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdkNn3Ei-Lg&feature=share"]Whats goin on.. - YouTube[/nomedia]
If you haven't watched this video please do. I watched it this morning. I have NEVER. Broke down and almost lost it crying so hard, about what was in a video about children and being GAY. UNTIL this one. This video has had over 400,000 views since this morning. I hope this kid gets more support, and more love than he ever could have known existed. Maybe now he will not feel so alone, and he will realize just how many friends he has and just how many of us are just like him, and there is nothing to feel ashamed about! |
Also...
I haven't figured out yet, and haven't done it enough... posting videos here. If you can make this video show up in this thread, please do.

Thanks for putting out the word on this. It is so sad!
Just another reason why on The DAY OF SILIENCE, I stand in the schools to watch over the children. And suggest others to do so as well. My granddaughter was bullied and punched while doing nothing but standing still. And a rise in youth gay bashings has risen here this year. Makes me sick! |
He put up another to thank everyone for their support. Hellofa kid.:hangloose:

This breaks my heart. I got bullied in school from 4th grade to the end of 6th grade. 6th grade being the worse. I prayed every day that I wouldn't have to go. I thought that kids nowadays were more open minded and mature. Guess I'm wrong. I so for homeschooling.

Thank you Red Flag for helping to post this video!
Sure Lady Pamela. That is horrible to hear what happened to your Granddaughter. I hope that everything is now better for her. Kids do need protective Guardians! Thank you for being one! Babyangel, so sorry to hear you were bullied! Thankful it stopped by the time you were in the 6th! I wish you didn't have to go through it at all! I know bullying still runs rampant in schools today. Kids hurting, runs rampant, period. I wish more parents would step in and do something before it's too late! The world spends too much of its time being blind! Perez Hilton found Jonah's video yesterday and helped Jonah go viral! Rosie O'Donnell has also gotten in touch with Jonah today, so it looks like things are going to be looking way up for Jonah! Other celebs have also contacted Jonah, today. Although things are looking up for Jonah, we mustn't forget the ones who are still suffering and still feeling the same pain that Jonah shows in this video just 3 months ago. I was the one in school protecting the ones being bullied! I would come to the rescue of others and the bullies were scared of me! They knew I was tougher than them and they would run off. Lol. Only a few times did I have to push or throw an asshole bully down. I have stopped many fights in my time. Even in recent years. I am a natural protector. Thank you to everyone who stands up for their kids or someone else's kids!!! |
This has brought me to tears. We live in a society that I am not proud of. Kids bullying kids, adults bullying adults. Hell, I grew up being bullied by my older sister.
So very sad. What is wrong with society? Why do we keep getting worse every generation? |
This video has been posted all over my facebook this morning, with the status always something along the lines of "this will touch your heart" I finally broke down and watched it and boy were they right. I think a lot of kids, including myself were bullied to some extent but for most of us it ends. We find our nitch we carve our spot out we get passed it shortly. To spend every day at school for 7 years going through this? I cant imagine, I hope that this kid gets the help that he needs. I hope this opens eyes instead of closing them, unfortunately I dont know that bullying will ever go away..but we can surely make sure that kids arent suffering like that!

Wow you're right this brought me to tears - I'm happy there are people who may be able to help him.
I still worry about the other children who are bullied every day - they are not teaching tolerance in schools - at least not in the school my granddaughter goes to. I don't know what I would do if I found out the Kidlette was being bullied this way.....I think I would most likely end up in jail. As long as there are adults working so dilligently to make us a lower class of society - there will be their children who learn at their knees to bully our children..... Our schools need to teach tolerance and our PTA's need to school the adults as well... |

I personally home school due to this issue..Not only bullies as children but authority figures as well. My son is extremely ADHD and gets bullied by them as well. Good thing though, some of the schools are hiring more staff, my sister is one, who watches halls and grounds and stops that type of stuff. It is a great start to keep the kids safe. |

Jonah talks about the video and coming out to his parents. |
Thank you for sharing the videos, I know when I watched the first one I bawled my eyes out, like a few mentioned before, I was also bullied and I was bullied relentlessly off and on through elementary school, but especially through middle school up to 9th grade, the worst years for me were definitely 7th and 8th grade, some of the bullying even became physical. The first time i was ever called a dyke, lesbo etc was in 7th grade, I can remember how i felt, how it hurt and how badly i just wanted to escape. Finally by the time I was in 10th grade those that bullied me either moved away or found other ways to keep themselves amused. It is so easy for people to tell those who are being bullied to ignore it or to just laugh etc.. but when you are at that age, when you're still trying to find your way and discover yourself.. words can hurt just as bad as punches.
I am so glad the Trevor Project and other support groups are out there now to help our youth. |
I just finished watching the video. What a beautiful beautiful human being. The pain behind his eyes is devastating. I have faith that he will come through this the victor.
