An Important Message from Ellen About Bullying

[Al123456ize]

hey guys. i know most of you will flag this for spam but i have a youtube channel (of course) but i make videos about bullying and everything and i need more views on them so they can get around the world so people know its wrong to bully. i want to make a change in the world if you guys could can you watch my videos.?

[SimSlikVIm]

Ellen is right. You shouldn't let people judge you for being gay or different. There is no such thing as being 'normal'. You should be proud of who you are. Like ellen said , go and talk to someone. it may not be easy but its the best way :)

[xxSosoxx13]

How many more lives do people have take for us to understand we need to do something.

[23darvin]

I know all the stars and talk show hosts have been builled and it sticks with you for life

[FunnyOnlyFunny]

[FruitLooperLove]

Bless you Ellen. You are my idol, I love you so much.

[444pride]

If you are being bullied don't worry because there are people who can help you. I have been bullied and it is hard to cope with but you get through it somehow. Don't bully people even if you have been bullied because it just makes it worse. I hope you understand and that you will get through it just as I did and other people have done but it is very tough and it will feel very painful. So don't worry just ask for help.

[saralovesjustinxoxo]

Go Ellen thx Ellen I needed that I'm not gay but I do get bullied

[2011alliealex]

those 13 people who disliked are bullies :|

[Joyjune114]

Ellen is VEARY right! people should NOT be bulled for being gay It is ok to be gay and ParadoxErernal would YOU say that IF u where GAY!!!

[TheJayda1998]

@MultiSoulchaser It's not their fault they are gay they don't really have a choice it just happened God made them gay believe it or not and he wants them to be proud of who they are no matter what their sexuality I support them and last they are innocent people and shouldn't deserve to die because of bullying

@rumours77 I totally agree with you but some Christians aren't like him I totally support gays and I believe they shouldn't be afraid to show their sexuality and shouldn't be ashamed of it

[KH4RDSK]

@ParadoxEternal ...hmm so you've met every gay person in the world? I'd call u something but I'm too nice

[KH4RDSK]

God I've never seen her so serious....

[irceco]

@ParadoxEternal whould u say the same if u were born gay?

[pitulis]

@BreakitDown76 Are u serious???? People like you is what is wrong with our society. I hope you never lost a loved one because of bullying. Open your mind.

[bradecake1]

This clip saved my life

[KH4RDSK]

@bradecake1 Yay ^.^ I'm having a good day now! :PP

[SharonCarlson1]

Amen Ellen! Thanks.  I have been bullied so much. Watching your show helps me get through <3

[lefluf100]

@SharonCarlson1 Hang in there kiddo, it gets better...

[BreakitDown76]

@SharonCarlson1

Can you hear the sad violin?

[MultiSoulchaser]

@BreakitDown76

I sure can!

[gwenie601]

Bravery,courage, compassion, and wisdom. Thank you Ellen for speaking up for those poor children who were senselessly killed because they were gay. Good on ya!!

[carolinamulvey]

@MultiSoulchaser please go away.

[BreakitDown76]

@carolinamulvey

Why should he go away?

[StoneRiverEyes]

She looks like she's about to cry, I love Ellen. That's how you know Ellen actually DOES care. I love her so much.

[PALEGRE3N]

Very well said..

[TheAnimeStreamer]

@findyourinspiration whaaaaat? im telling it from both perspectives

[MultiRandomTopics]

i'm crying right now , she always gives me great advice and this one is the best one

[brooktini9131]

I think it's insane that in the 21st century a heterosexual person feels the need to start their statement with "I'm not gay, but..." when defending the homosexual community. As if it's that bad that sone stranger on the Internet might assume you're gay. Two thousand years, and society still hasn't accepted that love comes in all kinds of forms. Amazing.

[k1i2l3g4o5r6e7]

I 100% agree with you Ellen, I cannot stand when people are made fun of and taunted about their sexuality, as long as they are happy they are fine with me and that is how it should be.

[michellitabtw]

awww she's about to cry.

[segundooron]

How could ANYONE dislike this video. Another person left a comment pointing out that Ellen seems to be the only celebrity who was genuine and caring regarding the rash of young people killing themselves due to bullying. This video has garnered a new respect for Ellen inside of me and I thank her for making the video. I pray to God that as many kids as possible can hear this message and I will share it in every way I can... Thank you Ellen, thank you very much and God bless you.

[100cincinnati]

dont promote people that use suicide to promote them selfs.

[saridawriting]

@100cincinnati Is that all you see when you watch this video? A celebrity who is seeking self-promotion? Read the book her mother wrote about Ellen coming out to her. Ellen has personal experience being "bullied": both personally and professionally. Don't forget, Ellen's highly rated sitcom was cancelled when the character she played came out. If that's not network bullying, I don't know what is.

[100cincinnati]

@saridawriting because when people commit suicide to make a point, and it gets air time? others feel that their suicide will make a statement!! thats why you never see it in the papers, BECAUSE TO SOME, IT PROMOTES THE IDEA !!

[NicoleValinejad]

I love how Ellen can be so serious, it's admirable..

and also she is the funniest person ever, I love her..

[lil3azy23]

Ellen is my hero!!!! and saved me!!!



[AmberSeigler]

This is why Ellen is loved all around the world!

[pupgangsta4]

i hate being bullied.some people are so mean.if your being bullied,dont think your alone,everybody has been bullied.some people just dont know the words of god.GO TO CHURCH IF U BULLY

[hhboredouttamind]

I am in the closet, but grown up in a town that hates LGBT's, i am constantly told wen it gets brought up that we'll go to Hell, that there is something wrong with us, and so much more by close family members and friends and it hurts, back from about August to October I was very serious about thoughts of suicide, then I joined trevorspace and watched it gets better videos. I am gonna keep trying to keep my head held high till I leave home. I really look up to Ellen. :)

[MsDooRonRon]

@hhboredouttamind .......

I am so happy you changed your mind about suicide:)

This topic is very serious to me and it hurts when I hear stories about people discriminating about homosexuals. You will not go to Hell for being gay. There is nothing wrong with you. I know at times it may seem like you are alone but you definitely aren't. Ellen has made that possible and trevorspace. If it makes a difference you will be in my prayers and I will always be on your side:) <3

-Roni <3

[hhboredouttamind]

@MsDooRonRon Thanks, and it does make a difference, I would be very grateful to be in your prayers, and thanks, it's good to know that there are people out there that care. :) <3

[ExecutePy6]

Ugh she's sooo hot

[lyingisland]

Booo!!!

[iBeeMew]

who are those heartless dumbass that DISLIKE this video. this is SERIOUS!

[greiteneis]

For all those who love, care, and commiserate...you are a blessing. For those of you who debase, perpetuate, and condone...you don't (i dare say) know what you do. Bullying isn't just teasing. It's DEHUMINAIZATION! And that dehumanizing hatred that you spew on the vulnerable is just that...It's an act that drives a kid to hang herself, or mutilate himself...bullying, dehuminazation, kills not like a knife or a gun, but it is an inward stab, that bleeds out. They die that suffer in silence.

[Lstar8D]

i love how she is truely means itt, you can hear the feeling in her voice, ILY ellen <3

[onlyallegra]

Science proves that the teenage brain is incapable of handling their emotions & reasoning like an adult would. Not only should "emotional intelligence" (EQ) be taught in schools,but parents need to start teaching their kids empathy. Kids will listen to their teachers and friends, but they model their lives after their parents. It's one thing to disagree with someone's beliefs, but it is another to make them feel less of a person for disagree with you. It's wrong. Every life matters. Every.

[DoulosofGod]

Ok, what makes me mad is that she is presenting this subject of Bullying/suicide like it is a gay only problem. Nothing can be further from the truth. Everyone every class, gets bullied, it is not just gays. Christians get bullied, and discriminated against, never heard her say a word about that. Sexual abuse victims are also bullied as well, which is why many them don't tell anyone. HEY ELLEN, if you are reading this, Give the Attention to everybody, NOT JUST GAYS AND LESBIANS.

[LadyMumblekins]

@DoulosofGod I think that was just an example. I'm pretty sure she meant that this was the reason this particular person was bullied but after that, she doesn't say anything about it just being gay people. I think it's really about bullying in general, and raising awareness of something like this is so important.

[rumours77]

@DoulosofGod

Christians need to be bullied. All they do is tell everyone but themselves how to live. Fornication, Adultery, Divorce and Re-Marriage and Burning with lust every time a hot chick in a string bikini walks by are all legal. It might not be "moral', but is is legal, despite what the Bible says. But the wicked "homos" have to behave because of what the Bible says?? No.

Christians need to be bullied until they can learn how to stop talking out of both sides of their ass.

[chibigrunt]

@rumours77 Uh, no- all Christians aren't like that. Although my beliefs may contradict the church as a Christ-follower, saying these people should be bullied is just putting yourself at the same level as the bullies. Those "Christians" you say where gays are evil and devil and protest against them like the Westboro ass-holes, aren't true Christians. They may think they are by book, bible, or whatever, but they aren't even close.

[peaceloveand0913]

@rumours77 no one should be bullied at all. that is adding fuel to the fire. just because people are christian does not make them bad people. Religion is different than faith, and some religious people are like that...and yes they need to learn that God loves everyone...but the should not be bullied. I am Catholic and I believe everyone is special in God's eyes. It doesn't matter who is divorced or homosexual, Jesus flocked to them. Read the Bible, and love all <3

[rumours77]

@DoulosofGod

Christianity is the main cause of Gay suicide as well as Gay bullying. As well as bullying of people of different races and religions.

Christians hate more than any other religion in creation, with the possible exception of Islam.

Draw your own conclusions. I have spoken the truth.

[DoulosofGod]

@rumours77 you have no clue on what hate really is. The real truth is, people like you are the problem. You have more intolerance towards Christians than most Christians have towards any non-christian. I am very tolerant.

[rumours77]

@DoulosofGod

I was hated and school because I am Gay. I attended a Christian school. Christians are the ones who hated me because I am Gay. I know first hand what being hated feels like. From Christians. In the name of Christ. Yes, I do know. You, yourself may be tolerant (for which I thank you) but the majority of your people are not.

All I'm really doing is showing you people what hate feels like. If you have a problem with what I'm doing, learn to shut your people up. :)

[shells10000]

@rumours77

I wouldn't worry about being hated by Christian school children. I would worry more about being hated by God. He's the ultimate authority you'll have to answer to.

[MultiSoulchaser]

@rumours77

How very touching! Just know that on this day not one person cared about your sob story! Holy Shit you're a freak!

[MultiSoulchaser]

@DoulosofGod

Gays have no will power or shame! They are mentally ill and fail to believe it! Love like any emotion has an evil side. Educating them on that is a waste of time they come back with stupid insults and media bs! That abomination Ellen Degeneres is the biggest part of the problem when spreading the gay message! That idiot makes me sick and needs taken off tv!

[rumours77]

@MultiSoulchaser

You wouldn't know love if it walked up and fucked you. You fucking Christians are the biggest hate-filled Hell-bound hypocrites on the face of the planet and too stupid to know it.

[MultiSoulchaser]

@rumours77

Calm the fuck down ass packer! Your mental illness is getting worse. Go find a mental hospital and get help for your fag raging! Electro shock is for you thats a fact.

[rumours77]

@MultiSoulchaser

Electro shock my cock up your ass, bitch BOY!!

[Conail23]

BULLYING i bad, period. We should make it less political and just concentrate on respecting and being kind to each other. It's too bad people are making it all about the gay issue because that's def not the point, the point is ALL people need to be treated with respect and dignity no atter if theyre straight gay black white purple, whatv, none of that matters when it comes to basic human respect and dignity, treat others as ud wanna be treated, period.

[dudette0911]

omg when she chocked on her words at the end, "you should be alive to see it" :(

[dispiritedprincess89]

Everyone has a right to feel safe, loved, and accepted for who they are. It doesn't matter if they are of a different race/colour, from a different country, are male or female, or have a different sexual preference. The world is made up of many different types of people, and they all deserve the right to live.

[TheDrinkjuice]

I love Ellen. She actually cares. That's rare in a celebrity these days. All they want is money, but no, Ellen actually cares. Bullying is a serious thing and it needs to be stopped.

[Leen28day]

every word is full of light...

[FischerBobby2008]

I don't care. FAGS ARE FAGS!!! FAGS ARE JUST FUCKED MAN WHATEVER!!!

[CMAILG]

and another boy commits suicide because of bullying over his being gay. Just happened near Buffalo NY. Shame..so sad.

#RIPJAMEY #RIPMonsterJamey

[musicmogul2011]

inspiring that despite all the fame and money Ellen has she continues to support the people that suffer out of the kindness of her heart <3!

[TheTwilightSagaHeart]

a 15 year old girl holds hands with her 1 year old son. People call her a slut, no one knows she was raped at 13. People call a guy fat, no one knows he has serious disease causing him to be overweight. People call an old man ungly, no one knew he had a serious injury to his face while fighting for our country in the war. People call a woman bald, but they don't know she's dying from cancer.

If you think you know everthing and have rights to bully people... think again!

STOP BULLYING!

[saq428]

Obviously he was ashamed of being gay. Rightly so. He took his own life as opposed to being openly gay. What does that tell you? He'd rather not live than have people know he was gay. That shows you how morally wrong homosexuality is.

[pammy3525]

@saq428 ew you're gross

[traitan88]

@saq428 A lot of overweight and not good looking kids are being bullied everyday and they try to kill them self too. Is being fat and ugly also morally wrong? I know everybody has their own opinion and I should respect that but yours stinks. What you're saying is the only thing that is morally wrong. Stupid, narrow minded, ignorant morons like you are the ones to blame for their death. I hope you end up in hell.

[multicolouredzebra]

@saq428 wtf is wrong with you? its not wrong to be gay like, have your own opinion and shit but its not wrong. dont assume things about his life, you didnt know him so piss off

[LA98x]

@saq428 dude...who are you? is this a joke? i certainly hope so.

[weirdchickadee]

@saq428 I know everyone has their own opinion and we have to respect that. But everyone has the right to feel safe, even if in your opinion is that those who are homosexuality is so wrong that people should die instead of live with it? That's wrong. I sincerely hope this is some sort of sick joke. This will not change your opinion, I'm sure, but I feel I must express mine.

Ellen is the most amazing person and she's so sweet, but she's homosexual. Does that mean she should die? No.

[brockzanfan]

I admire Ellen so much. This message is so powerful and makes me tear up. She's the only celebrity that seemed genuine and caring about this whole situation. I respect Ellen more than anything.

[reelworldcentral]

I just made a channel devoted to high school students about everything ranging from: bullying, cyber bullying, gay-trans-bi teens, self-esteem....

It's brand new so there is not much up there but it would be SO great to get AS MANY SUBSCRIBERS as possible to start commenting and suggesting future video ideas!

NOT ANOTHER LIFE CAN BE LOST. USE YOUR VOICE.

[00DanielaCarvalho00]

People shouldn't care if one is gay or bi or heterosexual! We are all equal! Inside we are all the same, and people who tease and bully other people for their sexuality are just ignorant and cruel, they should be ashamed of themselves for making another human being suffer just to feel a little bit better about themselves! It's really important to begin to change minds and believes.

[andthend83]

@FantageManiac101 You're not alone. I used to be one who got bullied all the time, but I looked for help and survived. Now I can doubtlessly say I'm happy. Like Ellen said, there are great organizations that'll help you go through this. Wish all the best!

[FantageManiac101]

I'm that person, People call me fat, ugly, a nerd, a geek, people threatened me at school... it's a hard life. :(

[hanamiaou]

I love you Ellen. <3

[mizzlilelissa]

[sashamonsterr]

how can 2 people dislike this?

heartless..

[25mobs]

@sashamonsterr the 7 pp disliking it like ur comment

[sashamonsterr]

@25mobs that was 6 months ago dumbass

[ExxoToxin]

@sashamonsterr well the bullies increased to 8 unfortunatly

[ThePersonallyRandom]

@sashamonsterr 9 people need to commit suicide b4 we come after them ourselves

[hadar2999]

how can you unlike that important video?!?!

[MCRmyPirate]

Oh gosh, I watched this and I feel like somehow I'm not alone.

[kellykak98]

I'm a 12 year old straight girl. I am also a conservative republican. I support gay people and bullying is a big issue all over the world. I've been bullied... Thank you, Ellen. I'm getting teary eyed watching this. God bless you all and you are all perfect! xoxo

[duh3its3alyx]

@CHARLESTHEHAMMER language!

[CHARESTHEHAMER]

@hiimnana

Self important c list celb who's fan base is mostly middle aged women thinks they're such a big deal they can record a "important message" and not only prevent bullying among teenage males but that it only takes place between straight male teens and gay male teens.

What's to like?

[convictPKlol]

@CHARESTHEHAMER my mum would fucking murder you. seriously little child get off youtube and run to your daddy so he can abuse you more.

[convictPKlol]

@CHARESTHEHAMER my mum would fucking murder you. seriously little child get off youtube and run to your daddy so he can abuse you more.

[convictPKlol]

Clearly your thick as pig shit and arent getting Ellens message. Im sure if Ellen saw this, she would want to convince you to help support her cause rather than taking out your petty aggression on her for no valid reason.

Hundreds of teenagers commit suicide because they are bullied for being different, and its people like you who they getting bullied by.

You should be ashamed of yourself, try being more considerate and compassionate, and try to understand what ellen is saying

[CHARESTHEHAMER]

@convictPKlol

Take that strange dogs cock out of your mouth before you speak to me you worthless cunt.

[convictPKlol]

@CHARESTHEHAMER FUCKING COMEDIAN ARENT YOU

why dont you get the fuck off youtube you neolithic piece of shit.

[CHARESTHEHAMER]

important?

maybe self important.

[KewlGurlsRock]

@CHARESTHEHAMER

yes, It's important. Imagine all those kids and teens who kill themselves because of the fact that they're being bullied. They get bullied everyday, and they get tired of it. What do they do to stop it? They kill themselves. It's pretty sad actually. Those bullies should be very ashamed of themselves. It's kind of like they killed kids. They're the reason why some kids and teens kill themselves. I would really like to put an end to bullying.

[CHARESTHEHAMER]

@KewlGurlsRock

yes yes and ellen bleeds gold.

Oh wait no she doesn't.

She cured aids.

Oh wait no she Didn't.

She's a war hero.

No.

She's a failed comedian and currently a day time talk show host.

[sandragojani]

@CHARESTHEHAMER Hahaha if she's a failed comedian I'd love to see what you consider to be a successful comedian. Failing at something and being bad at something is two different things. You think that she's a bad comedian, but dude, she hasn't failed seeing as she's probably the most successful talkshow host in the US. And I wasn't aware that you had to cure aids and kill people "for your country" to be able to send out a message to people. If this isn't important enough maybe you should gtfo.

[KewlGurlsRock]

@CHARESTHEHAMER

And a lot of people love and adore her.

[CHARESTHEHAMER]

@KewlGurlsRock

I am so sure they include teenage bullies.

[Glittergirlz4eva1]

It's not sucide its murder. I lovee you Ellen <3

[rleary1]

When I was a young girl a group of Lesbians beat me up after school.

[LGMD2308]

Some of the people in this world are sick. The things you say, the things you do, do you even think? Every small thing you say impacts someone. Next time you think about calling someone fat, or ugly, or teasing them because their bi, gay, lesbian or anything. just remember your insult could be the reason why they're not here tomorrow.

Just fucking THINK.

[Caradog93]

I love Ellen. She is genuinely emotional about it, unlike all those other celebrities you see. Brings a tear to my eye!

[tysheltry]

@Caradog93 i do agree that she gets extremely emotional, but so do many other celebrities, (ex. lady gaga, Neil Patrick Harris, Demi Lovato, and many more)

[farranspointon]

Hard to understand why so many adults are also pathetic bully's and almost impossible to believe that many refer to themselves as Christians. Take the Westboro Baptist Church for example who actively engage in bullying. I can't for the life of me understand why your government doesn't put a stop to that groups hate demonstrations. If they are christian then I am Angel Gabriel and trust me, I'm no angel. If we are to end the bullying by teens should we not first start prohibiting it by adults??

[Sumieika]

@farranspointon

yeah right!

[theninjapirate101]

Being bullied isnt a good thing, I have been bullied for my hight when I just started pre-K, I was called short, shrimp, loser, and other things. I was personally hurt that I would come home crying asking my mom 2 nevr take me to school. I wanted to runaway but now Im glad I didnt. Im 13 years and Im 4ft7” now I tell this story many times and cry as I do. All the ppl who ignore this message are in deed miss the point

[jafcake09]

hay im from the UK and we don't get your show over here but i love watching it on you tube the message you have put a cross is great i know how it feels to be a bully and to get bulled there is nothing proud bullying Gays or not word still hurt no mater what i became a mentor in school in year 8 to protect the students and i say to anyone out there if you are a bully your a perfect excuse for a person

i hope to come and watch the show live one day or be on it talking about this

keep it up

[nickym110]

@jafcake09 I watch ellen on diva tv. Do you have sky?

[jafcake09]

@nickym110 yes i do what number is that channal on

[cornermouse]

@CroElectroStile You shouldn't be a bully at all!

[Jezziix3]

@CroElectroStile You expect people to say "Wow, awesome!" now or what? Bullying is NOT acceptable. No matter who you bully, you will seriously hurt them. Having people tell you how worthless you are is like them punching you in the face repeatedly. Think about what you're doing.

[AlexTheGreatMD]

being a teenager is hard but look at this toaster it makes eggs too.

What is wrong with the one person who disliked this video???

[TheNickelDimeQuarter]

Amazing Job Ellen... Your So Caring, Unlike Most Famous People Who Don't Try Enough To Get The Message Around. We Watched This Video In Class. W Were Shocked By The Raising Popularities In Bullying. My Question; Why Does This Have To Happen? I'm Bullied To, For So Many Reasons. Some Of Which Don't Even Make Sense. But Theres Nothing I Really Can Do... I'm To Afraid.

[boxerini]

You can really tell she means what she says in this video, and it is so true. Let us all stop this mindless bullying.

[dancelord98]

I love you Ellen. You are my hero. I am gay and I just want you to know that that made my day hearing that from you. Well done for making all of us feel somewhat complete. Thank you so much!! :)

[damibabby]

well done ellen i really respect you and what this messag ment R.I.P to those people people are soo disrespectful!!!! this was a great birthday present 19/10/2010

[VirginMattress]

Thanks for sharing this on your channel. And props to Ellen for taking this on.

[SuperSkierdude]

Great message
