How would you stop bullying?

[Hellmo7]

@whitemexican4gustavo - How would I stop bullying? By listening to the bullies. People rarely put down others without having the root of the problem be within themselves. I find that people usually extend the same courtesy you show towards them...show the bullies kindness and compassion, help them with their own internal struggles, so that they can learn how to do the same.

@havoc00 - I'm glad this video reached out to you so much so that you continue to comment. I'm guessing you're either a kid who was bullied and never learned to overcome their bitterness, or one of those bullies that never grew up. Either way, I'm sorry for whatever hardship made you feel the need to troll YouTube to release your frustrations. If it makes you feel better, you can continue to comment. Your negativity is your own burden to bear, but I'm more than willing to listen to you vent :)

@METH3454 - *YOU'RE* absolutely entitled to your opinion. At least I can rest easy in knowing that I have a firm grasp of the English language as well its punctuation and grammatical intricacies.

I've been bullied a lot, 'cause I'm satanic. NO, I'm not the "evil" "dark" or "weird" person you think I am. I'm a NORMAL person, like you, like everybody. You can't blame someone for the way he/she thinks, or by the way he/she looks. EVERYBODY is different. I'm so glad that, at least, there is people like you in this world, Hellmo7. You made me smile with your vid :) so I just can say, THANKS.

PS.: Sorry about my bad English xP

That was really nice. You seem to be compassionate toward others. We need more people like that in the world. Helping others makes a difference.

I really love this video.. Your a true hero in my book youve explaned everything soo well many of use can do that. And the peoplethat are correcting you should leave in alone people the ones that call you names find new meaning for everything ..

@Hellmo7 you would know

[Hellmo7]

@roanldinhoac - Two counter points: 1) Words have certain definitions for a reason: to be used correctly. Perhaps in whatever geographic location you come from, that's what the term 'dyke' infers, but where I was raised, when we use words we are referring to their actual definition. Even when trying to put others down, unfortunately. 2) I'm afraid if all that you took away from this video is what you think is the incorrect usage of a derogatory term, the message was lost on you. That is a shame.

[roanldinhoac]

@Hellmo7 NOOOOOO maybe the word itself means tht but what the kids are trying to say is what i said. Trust me i know i used it many times

[Hellmo7]

@roanldinhoac - No, no it's not. If you look at a REAL dictionary (ie. the dictionary - the second definition down) You'll see that it's a slang term for a lesbian. I tend to stay away from Urban Dictionary when trying to find evidence in an attempt to make a solid point.

[roanldinhoac]

@Hellmo7 actually a dyke is a girl that sleeps with ALOT of men. It has noting to do with sexuallity. I found it out on urbandictionaryDOTcom
