An Important Message from Ellen About Bullying

[LillyRoXD101]

@krabspong88 Diddo :/

[alexisxlandgraber]

this is why i love ellen. She doesn't even know these people yet she cares so much and u can see how upset she is. Everyone has a heart so everyone should be treated well. Stop bullying <33 love u ellen

[MeganLandryPixelDust]

anti-bullying messages good, equal is empowerment

[katiearizonaa]

Still don't understand how this video has four dislikes. There should be none.

[healingduck]

Ellen truly is amazing. This is an amazing message.

[raaaacheeeelyoo]

this gave me goosebumps. i love ellen

[icu3447]

my sister is effecting me towards some of my friends

[icu3447]

my sister does this and every one says it's just sisters being sisters

but are sisters (the ones ur supposedly supposed to look up to when there is nobody) supposed to beet u and leave awful scaring that won't go away, why should I look up to her

ya I tell people but nobody listens when they do care they tell her to stop and it works then she hits me again

thats NOT a sister

[posiden01]

@icu3447 maybe try talking to her about it. Maybe have a clam talk with her and ask her what you might do that makes her upset.

[patrix4th]

What is wrong with people now-a-days? Really? Stop picking on someone they have no control over. Saying that people choose to be homosexual is like saying I had control over being white, or my sister had control over being a girl, or someone being in control of what their natural hair color is. Honestly, these bullies need to grow up! Tyler had no more control over being homosexual as anyone else does for being born the way they are.

[grammyandgram]

I bawled watching this.

[diehard913888twifan]

I'm the one suffering in silence. Thank you Ellen for being our voice when our minds mute us <3

[Funkyprincess6560]

My great friend ella killed her self 2 days ago because she was bullied. I miss you ella! rip

[nrpss]

I have a theory that all of us are bissexual. because I believe that i don't consider myself gay or by or straight. i consider myself... well me. love is blind, we don't chose for who we fall in love. and we don't know the future. i didn't have any men, but who knows what tomorrow brings? who knows? i never fall in love with a men, it were all girls. but i think if i fall in love with a man, i wouldn,t be scared, because all i could see is love.

[ButterflyBun13]

@nrpss just because you're bisexual, it doesn't mean that everyone is...

[nrpss]

@ButterflyBun13 i'm not saying everyone in here is bi. what i'm saying is everyone falls in love and love is blind! about everything. but as a human been you have equal rights as everyone. i don't say a guy killed a gay for falling in love with him. i say a guy killed a person for falling in love with him! we have rights and laws to follow and live by, for everyone, no matter the sex preferences, the color, or religion! all said. diferent but equal.

[greenjayde333]

The girl you just called fat? She is overdosing on diet pills. The girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The boy you just tripped? He is abused enough at home. See that man with the ugly scars? He fought for our country. That guy you just made fun of for crying? His mother is dying. post this to another video, if you are against bullying. You never know what its like until you walk a mile in their shoes

[talldudegrad12]

I'm a 6'4 268 llb straight guy. If you need help tell me. I don't have a problem with backing people up when atrocities like this are happening. Bullying needs to stop.

[PetofJesus]

this is pointless our pain and torment wont go away we will still have flash backs the pain will never leave our minds and bullys will never competly stop theres always gonna be abullys out there no matte rwhat there's nothing us as vctems can do and nothing u s hero's can say we just have to live with the pain

[SweetEmotion11]

I support you, all of you; whatever you are dealing with, whoever is tormenting your for whatever reason. Be strong, be safe. Know you have support, if only in the words of a random stranger on the Internet. You are supported and loved.

[texascutie25]

This made me love Ellen 10000000000 times more than before. It seriously made me cry.

[adreana10024]

udge people for how they look or are and i hope this comment helps everyone two think twice of commiting suicide remember ignore bullys plus dont try two change yourself just because people bully you i never did that would you rather take away your own life or stay alive and get a career i hope kids read this two i dont want nobody making a mistake like that again. :(

[adreana10024]

thats just wrong to bully kids just because they are gay my heart cracks every time i hear a story like this nobody should bully a kid just because they are gay and for the bullys out their dont pick on someone for how they are if kids are reading this please tell someone a parent a teacher the principle a friend anybody i always get picked on but i always ignore them so everyone out dont j

[krabspong88]

People called me gay and retarded, i used to be a funny kid now i'm depressed and blow up at friends always :(

[VxRANDOMxV]

Be a good friend, im sick of these losers bullying people that are different...

R.I.P-- Seth, asher and the other gay people who have been bullyied to death, the bulling will end one day.

VxRANDOMxV

[VxRANDOMxV]

Hey, im not gay. But im sick of all types of bullying, the world is spinning out of shape because of these kids, what also add onto that is the parents DONT DO ANYTHING.

Im the type of person that gets bullyied but i ignore them, if they get out of line, just move on. If you see someone fat or gay being picked on even if you dont know them that well, STAND UP FOR THEM!.

Talk to them for example if hes gay and ur not gay, say "hey, wanna be friends?, im not gay but that doesnt mean a gay can't b

[Maxstermind]

@indiaXisXcoolio I'm proud of you. You showed him ;D

[Maxstermind]

HOW in the WORLD can 4 people dislike this. What are they the people who bullied them kids. because thats just SICK how they can dislike this.

[lilcapone9525]

@indiaXisXcoolio No it is not "all okay". It is biologically not correct. A man and a woman = baby. A man and a man (-- --) = nothing. A woman and a woman (00) also = nothing. This is not rocket science, gays and lesbians are biologically insane. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.

[lilcapone9525]

@indiaXisXcoolio Thanks captain obvious.. gay, lesbian, its all the same.

[Tazzay2]

For the bullies out there around the world, I have one message for you; Don't judge a book by its cover.

[TheCheese4450]

I don't know about America but things are getting better here in Ireland. Tolerance is on the rise and there's been a shift in peoples attitudes and way of thinking. I hope it's the same in other countries. I think people have realised that were all on the same boat and were better united than divided. We only have on average 70 years to live and no one has the right to tell us how to live them so long as we don't infringe other peoples time on this planet which now has the potential to become

[MrRobloMan]

Ellen was emotional since she was hated for being a lesbian as an adult and also tragically affected her life by the adults we should trust to defend us in these situations as kids!

[givepropstotherich]

@lilcapone9525 well guess what... I'm bi and I get straight a's in school and I'm being offered a really good scholarship to college! so no I have no mental problem ok... secondly, you have got to stop mentioning god when you talk about why gay people are wrong... if you have a good reason after that than I'll be impressed!

[lilcapone9525]

@givepropstotherich Why should I not mention the Lord? It was his will that males and females go together - he made it that way. Humans saying screw you God ill do what I want is not going to work. There are other arguments against gays, but this is the best. Although... gays are usually liberals and liberals usually go against God.

[paramoregrace]

i think if people stopped hidding in the shadows and embraced there sexual prefrence the it would become less of a tabo for people even tho at first it will be difficult but then after a while people just get ova it even tho some wont but u have to stand u for urself and not let the bullys win

[WeirdGuy983]

I do not support gay people but this is wrong that kids should feel so bad about who they are that they should kill themselves! I can not imagine having to go through what those kids go through, Ellen is right...it is time that we change what bullies can do to us, they have no right to be so cruel to people living their lives...I for one will start taking a stand for those kids, cause I don't want to hear a story like this in my neighborhood!

[Maxstermind]

im 13 and gay... I thought i would just say that it is just about the place they live in and the people they are around... My whole school knows, they dont mind, i just told people that if they dont like it then dont talk to me... I do agree that some people are horrible human beings but i have to say that they worst thing is if they look or act gay, but they arnt...

[Leefrankinfredrike]

My best friends brother, Caleb Nolt, killed himself because people were bullying him about being gay, but he was not. He had a girlfriend named Lexi. And he was a great kid, and when they told me he died.... It broke my heart. We need to do something about it. Im bisexual, and i believe love has no gender. Why can't we all be friends?

We miss Caleb. Rest in peace, Caleb.

[madcat789]

"One life loss in a sensless way is Tragic,Four lifes lost is a crisis."

As sad as it is for people to kill themselfs,i do express to SOME degree that their death will actualy benifit the planet. After all,were killing it,and were overcrowding it as well. Im not encouraging Suicide,but i'm not sad either that someone has killed themselfs....unless it was family,if someone in my family decided to take the easy-way out and kill themselfs id go into depresssion...oh wait im already in that. Damn

[flemingdeta]

His name is Eric Douglace and hes posted a video called my apology...I really hurt for him and am scared for him.

thank you Terrie A Fleming

[DvineGaming]

@flemingdetad That kid brought it on himself for everything he said about people.

[flemingdeta]

Ellen, please help this child, I am so worried about him. I am a very suicidal person and I have those feelings under control, but this boy that I am listening to on YouTube tonight has me really worried. Can you help? Terrie A Fleming

[thursdayschildonline]

May I ask why not one person or organization doing all the anti-bullying talk has bothered to call toll-free directory? Had any of them done so they would have found that Thursday's Child has a hotline for kids to call who are being bullied. The main number is 1 800 USA KIDS and it's proactive, meaning the hotline will make phone calls to schools or help guide parents through getting restraining orders against the bullies.

[lilcapone9525]

This is so pathetic. A man goes with a woman. That's the way it should be and the way God planned it. A male does not go with a male, same with females. It's like ying & yang. I mean, you have to have a mental problem to like your own sex or even agree with it, for that matter.

[mdesatx]

God's plan is for life, not death. The Bible teaches that both physical and spiritual death are the result of our sin and disobedience to God, but eternal life is a gift to those who receive it.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23).

[flightvegas]

@mdesatx its very nice to hear some sanity thank you.

[cocolocof]

Let's start with a goverment who treat gay and straigh the same way. If kids see that discriminate and have 0 tolerance, what can we expect? We cannot blame one person, we cannot blame kids who follow what they see on tv, what they hear from his parents or from people with power. Lets show people that gay or straight , they are both love and respect, lets give everyone the same rights.

[Kandeeflossx]

@cocolocof That's beautiful

[flightvegas]

not just the religous majority is against gay marriage the vast us majority is religous our not because its indecent and wrong.you have the right to not be religous the same as i have the right to be ,and peoples belief, not just religous beliefs are forming the anti gay marriage laws.

[8722974]

How am I insecure in my position; because I'm a straight person who supports LGBT rights? You state that marriage is only for men & women. According to your religious beliefs? What gives your co-religionists the right to bully others by using the law to impose the dogmas of your religion onto people who do not espouse them? No one's religious beliefs should form a basis for human rights violations.

[flightvegas]

@8722974 see we live in a country where everyone has the right to vote and the majority rules.you would deny me my civil rights because of my religion?thats not american and you are being hypocritical in what you are saying.you would deny me the same rights you are protesting for because i dont agree with you.what gives me the right sir is that i am an american citizen and i live in a democracy where we use the law not the mob rules.

[8722974]

Your prejudices & assumptions are showing! An animal cannot give informed consent or enter into a contract.Do you really think that gay marriage is the same as bestiality? LGBT people are HUMAN. Your flamboyantly gay scenario is just that. From there, you assume that the candidate would cry discrimination. Do you suspect all Blacks & Jews etc. of the same subterfuge? Most discrimination cases are sincere. Do you really think that all LGBT people are manipulators of the justice system? cont'd...

[boycottlibertymutual]

what good is a moment of silence when a man should have a lifetime...illegel ponagraphy, and without consent...this is more than bulling, the persons should be inprisoned for life...damn if people are single and look for love in so many ways...may we never forget

[8722974]

It becomes a problem when those opinions stymie the rights of others; esp when based on a religion not all people adhere to. What 'special considerations' have LGBT people demanded? How is gay marriage a 'travesty to all humankind'?I fail to see how a gay couple's marriage threatens mine or anyone else's. The right to wed is a civil/human rights issue. If your counterargument is religion-based, then ALL so-called sinners should be barred from marrying: why single out LGBT people?

[flightvegas]

@8722974 well people are going to have different opinions than you wether its based on religous beliefs,life experiences,military service or higher education life has caused us all to have different opinions and just because mine is religous based is no reason to discriminate against my opinion.should i be allowed to marry a horse?or a dog?would you support that as well i mean why not right im only hurting myself right wrong im hurting all society. marriage is for a man and woman.

[flightvegas]

@8722974 and lets say i walk into a job interview acting flamboyantly gay then dont get the job.im going to say that that was the reason when in all actuality it could have been because of my resume and nothing more.except that person is going to claim its cause of his status.and when anyone questions it they are beat down for discrimination.you try to cause fear in anyone who questions you by calling them biggoted .thats because your insecure in your position.im not question me all u want

[DasTuppen]

i get bullied all the time its because of my body and my face that i look different so i get treated really bad by some people. bullies they are monsters. they act like i am a monster and a bad person but in fact they are monster.

[flightvegas]

@DasTuppen im sorry you are not a monster you are a beutiful human being made by god and there is someone out there for you.im sorry you are having difficulty but be strong and it will pass. i feel that most bullies are insecure with themselves and thats part of the reason for what they do other than meanness.you are an attractive person no matter what they say.god loves you

[8722974]

... so are the covetous, adulterers, liars, THE JUDGEMENTAL & a host of other ne'er do wells. They are not singled. Why is the institutionalized marginalization of LGBT people tolerated? Straight people must insist that justice be done; our indifference is tantamount to consent. Women & African Americans also had to march for basic civil rights & LGBT people marched with them. The bullies are prejudiced enfranchised people who summarily deny other citizens their basic human/civil rights. 

[flightvegas]

@8722974 are you crossing the line when you speak your opinion?it seems that the gays are more intolerant of people questioning their beliefs than the other way around.gays should be awarded their civil rights i wont argue that point.but it seems to me that you want more than just the average civil rights you want people to let you have special consideration and thats not fair.i only oppose gay marriage because thats a travisty to all mankind that must be stopped. but you can still vote cant ya

[flightvegas]

@8722974 and ive put in my posts many times that all homosexual sin is no better or worse than any other sin.we are all sinners dood. i just realize that i am and try to do better thats all. nobody should be denied their civil rights.

[8722974]

You cross a line when you apply your religious beliefs to others. LGBT people marching in order to gain civil rights, that are being denied to them by narrow-minded straight people, is not bullying. As for intimidation, neither violence nor vandalism have been a feature of LGBT marches. The point has never been to convert straight people to an LGBT orientation; only to get the same civil rights you & I take for granted. Even if LGBT people are sinners according to your holy book, cont'd ...

[8722974]

@Flightvegas, You've crossed the boundary between your beliefs & the right of others to believe as they will. I REFUSE to fear any lord from any holy book! Since YOU'VE chosen to do so, apply its thou shalts & thou shalt nots to YOURSELF. Since YOU believe homosexuality is a sin, don't do it! No LGBT person will bully you or try to convert you. I see these as mere differences akin to hair colour & food preferences. Why all the angst among straight people? What's it to you?

[flightvegas]

@8722974 i dont know how i crossed a boundry this is a website where everyone offers their opinion im certainly not going to the kids funeral and preaching i think that would be crossing the line.i completely disagree with your statement that gay people dont bully others in believing what they do. what planet have you been living on these last couple years where gay rights are thrust down our throat thru the media and your public marches which are designed to intimidate. our kids need the truth

[flightvegas]

o i forgot to add that his roomate needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law . the boy and girl who videotaped him should both be charged with a sex crime in my opinion.i feel sorry for the kid really

[8722974]

This tired diversionary tactic shifts the focus onto whether homosexuality is a sin in someone's holy book or not. If so, then THEY are to blame for their suffering. If not, then do THEY have a sickness to be pitied or cured, a perversion to be criminalized or are THEY just like US? Why this need to cram THEM into some narrow paradigm that makes sense to straight people? They are PEOPLE who are being denied their fundamental right to safety & dignity by various types of bigots among US.

[8722974]

How does a discussion about gay teens being goaded into committing suicide degenerate into a 'my god is goddier than your god' argument? there's no evidence that any religion was a factor behind the bullying that resulted in these suicides. If bullies can commit these horrendous acts & then claim that they were 'doing god's work' or 'the devil made me do it', the discourse will be diverted away from their hateful, violent criminal actions & become a theological debate. -cont'd

[landlogger]

@8722974 You are dead on. I was sickened and angry when I read the first post by flightvegas and against my better judgement responded to them. I used the religious angle thinking I could break through to something sane. I should have saved my breath. This type is so brainwashed, fanatical really, there is no reaching them. Ah well...... some day they will wake up or not. This spreading of fear by the use of hell, heaven and sin is an extreme form of bullying. Psychological bullying. Sick!

[flightvegas]

@landlogger we will all be accountable in the end i really truely belive that.if you rape kill steal in this life you will be held accountable.you talk tough now but i know that in your last moments on this earth you will pray.i did listen to what you said but i dont agree.you have the right to believe as you will god arranged that for you i will pray that you change your mind.

[landlogger]

@flightvegas You seem to have quite a little connection with God and Satan and if you really search your heart you will see you are afraid of both. PART ONE. That is why you are so persistent in what you say and think. If you Form your own opinions down comes the big hammer. You have no concept of God love if you think at the last breadth you have to beg for a ticket into some heaven. NOW let me get this right... God arranged for me to believe as I want. Yes ARRANGED it that way for me.

[landlogger]

@flightvegas PART 2.....then would have to follow that this dear boy' s life was also arranged by God! This being the case (remember now this is GOD we talking about) This life having been arranged by God would also have approval and divine love at play in it. Right?! All God created in this life would have God's stamp of okness on it. NOW along you come.. and you truly seem to believe you know better than God?? That has the smack of your satan about it. and he would laugh and say

[landlogger]

@flightvegas Part 3....' Got another one. How easy it is to confuse them''. Now your running around wasting the time God gave you on your silly opinions. arguments and judgements of others. All activities satan loves because it separates you from God and that exactly what satan wants. How simply it would be to drop tne chatter and just sit quietly with your God and listen. If your heart is open and still you will be surprised at what knowing will be given to you. Peace.

[moshiey]

Homosexuality is a sin what kind of crap is that, Arcording to who a christian thats funny you fukin people killed people because they wont convert to you GOD. Who gives you the "Christians the right to put anyone down. I you can tell me that you have never had a thought of being with a person of your own sex, Ill tell you your full of shit. Isreal even lets gay people be open about in in the service but We have to hide . SO KEEP YOU CHRISTIAN CRAP TO YOURSELF

[flightvegas]

@moshiey i pity you for your beliefs.im sorry peope but we are accountable for our actions here on earth.even you moshiey in whatever country your in.hopefully its not ours and hopefully you are not living close to an airport.the bible and many other religions clearly state homosexuality is a sin just like fornication and adultry no better or no worse but it is sin sorry.but god will forgive you all you have to do is ask it and youll be saved.

[landlogger]

Who the hell decided homosexuality was a sin. Not the God you believe in. No way. Your God is thought to be a god of pure love, only love. Would PURE love condemn anyone or anything? Really think on this one. If a god is LOVE for that God sin would not even be known or seen. because Love knows only love. Another human decided this was sin. Do you become like God/Love or like that human who judges in Gods place the garbage you buy sickens me. God didn't cause this suicide. Your kind did

[flightvegas]

@landlogger god is love that is true but we must also fear the lord dont forget that. what you are saying reminds me of an alchoholic who rationalizes his drinking it is the same thing .i never said that god caused his suicide but i think satan surely did by causing his sinful behaviour.but i am not judging anyone i have my flaws as well i didnt say he was a bad person or less deserving than anyone else.im not predjudice against gays.but it is sinful behaviour and will take you to hell

[flightvegas]

homosexuality is a sin but the people should not be condemned we need to have compassion for these people as we would with any other sinner and try to convert them peaceably.outcasting them is wrong they should be invited to church and let god speak to them about their wrong behaviour just like he does about our wrong behaviour we are all sinners.

[landlogger]

@flightvegas Jesus is reported to have said, "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?" Do you think any God that may appear on earth would run around trying to convert people YOU and your kind decide is in error. Your self righteousness way of being is a disguised sick form of bullying. Much horror has been done in the name of your kind of God. If you can't see this then you are truly lost. Continued on comments.

[landlogger]

@flightvegas Don't bother negating what I have said to you by thinking I am homosexual and defending myself. I am not nor would I defend. What is ..is.. and none of my business!! I am saying to you that My kind of God is goodness. Not one of holier than thou as you have created yours. 

[moshiey]

Dude, Everyone one doesnt follow your blind faith of being a christian.

[8722974]

How is homophobic bullying affecting teen girls? Have there been lesbian teens goaded to death? If so, were the killers male or female?Referring to this conduct as bullying, a gross understatement, underscores our lack of adequate terms for homophobic attacks. LGBT people are despised, feared, marginalized & misunderstood. Society is ambivalent towards their suffering since 'they' ask for it. Bullying won't stop but swift justice & severe penalties will make many think twice before acting.

[8722974]

Religions label gays as confused at best & evil deviants at worst. Laws place them in 2nd class, or criminalize them! The suicides mentioned all involved males; this is telling. Men eroticize sex between women; a way of reducing it to male entertainment. It doesn't threaten masculinity & make men ask themselves uncomfortable questions.The so-called feminized male does. Sadly, society has condoned homophobia. LGBT people deserve the same rights & protection straight people take for granted.

[dukeboy426]

It's called natural selection. i got bullied. I didn't kill myself. I stole a gun and was going to shoot the prick. I got caught before it happened. Word got around and I never got bullied again. Guns solve problems. This video will change nothing.

[MrCounterter788]

i used to like you when you stayed in the closet ,go back

[hyenabuttass]

@namedlorenna I couldn't agree with you more! You post the best comment...ever! :)

[aznrulebreaker]

@Plato86 but then I have a question for you. Would -you- have said anything? Everyone has issues they are most affected by, especially if it's something you've experienced. Do you expect her to list off all the injustices in the world on every episode she does? It doesn't mean she's a bad person. At least she's taking a step towards one issue. Don't know if you could say the same thing.

[Plato86]

Ellen only cares because he was a sexual pervert, had he been a Mexican who was bullied because of his nationality and committed suicide, she would not say a thing. Just pathetic.

[MrOoppoddoo]

Thank you, Ellen.

[tishliv]

The responsible for his death should be sentenced to prison for more than five years! I hate it that homosexuals are the most vulnerable because they all feel helpless among a homophobic society. In France, where I live, a young teen was bashed until he bled to death, and that is just because he was just "suspected" of being homosexual by some bully. This has to stop! I am a straight woman, but that doesn't mean anything, I am HUMAN first of all, and this sort of thing is just unacceptable.

[loveyou5663]

@tishliv what you said just show out how small your mind is.... how can you even prove men love women is correct. if you can not then you can't judge homosexual is wrong!!

[loveyou5663]

can you prove women love men is really the right way? if not. then i am wondering ....how can you judge homosexual is wrong?

[tishliv]

@loveyou5663 See that post above? It's mine yes?Did I say homosexuality is wrong?Did I talked about love between men and women at all? Did you read what I said? I was talking about bullying and the hurt one can get from it. I am pretty sure, in fact that I was defending homosexuals. Did I profess about the rightness of men loving women or men loving men? No! A human being is a human being, and it can love whoever it choses, and it can get hurt as any other.

[dzanier]

I also find this terrible. The people who abuse homosexuals to the point of death are vile creatures, & what makes them more vile is that they may feel that since God doesn't condone this lifestyle that it's OK to behave that way. That's wrong. God loves everyone: straight, gay, black, white, everyone. Everyone's life has equal value. I have views about homosexuality that would be considered politically incorrect, but all people should be treated well irrespective of sexual preference.
