Re: What is your reaction to this video?When did I say it wasn't? The video is moving yes. However, the amount of publicity this video has, along with the fact that the channel was created on the same day as the video was uploaded suggests that it was fake. Some of the spelling errors looked deliberate, plus the appropiate pauses in between each card definitely gave the impression that this boy was acting.(Original post by Scribblet)
Even if it was fake (which I doubt) isn't it good that it's making people aware of what effect bullying can have? I think the support appearing for this guy is amazing. -
Re: What is your reaction to this video?Awwh, are you mad because this was you when you were younger?(Original post by crocker710)

Whilst I won't lie and said it made me cry; it was definitely moving, the kid was clearly at breaking point and that was his only outlet. -

Re: What is your reaction to this video?i have my suspicions if i'm honest. the "Hi! I'm Jonah =]" or whatever it was and the "I look happy, right? well i'm not" just feels so much like an anti-bullying campaign(Original post by BCUciaran)

i was half expecting it to pan out so we could see him write 'i'm being bullied' in baked beans on his dinner plate -
Re: What is your reaction to this video?I am sure if it was 'fake' the International Business Times among other notable publications wouldn't have pusblished stories on it today.. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/2608...rseverance.htm(Original post by DEMBA BA)

Re: What is your reaction to this video?This, I don't believe in bullying, I do believe in sensitive people though.(Original post by frc)
There's nothing "strong" about breaking down and apparently being seriously affected by "bullying" (i.e. normal youth-youth interaction that most people find amusing and character building, and a few defective individuals are destroyed by)
I definitely believe that the distribution of "bullying" is really very even, but some children just can't handle it. They're far too sensitive, so while everyone else just has a laugh and returns "banter", in every school year there's one or two poor souls who want to kill themselves.
It's a shame, but it's really more their problem than anyone else's. We have to consider how far we should expect the vast majority to adjust their behaviour to accommodate a tiny minority. -
Re: What is your reaction to this video?you came to the conclusion that this boy was acting because he had appropriate pauses? To him being bullied is a big deal and that to show his feelings, one being bullied one could not even describe.(Original post by InternetGangster)
Some of the spelling errors looked deliberate, plus the appropiate pauses in between each card definitely gave the impression that this boy was acting.
Of course he is going to have pauses, he is trying to express himself about being bullied which isn't as easy like reading a book.
I also doubt that every bully victim first worries is "have i made sure all my spelling is correct to please everyone?" is it? I mean you spelt appropriate wrong... -

<- my reaction.
I'm not sure if it was Jonah's story or the music but that vid made me sad.
I don't understand how someone can be so affected by bullying that it would make them self harm or want to end their life. Surely there's another way. Moving schools, fighting back or standing up for yourself. -
