Jayy, was always a good kid and never bothered anyone! It was a constant battle trying to get people to except him for who he was and is! Even family! My family was no different than the people who bullied him! Except for our lovely aunt Nancy, who loves him as much as I do! I worried constantly that someone would take him from me because they couldn't except how he looked! And as a mother I still worry! But he is my inspiration and encouragement to be who i wonna be also! He is my world!! <3<3

I am a bullied kid and this made me feel better that people were trying to stop this terrible epidemic. Jayy Von Monroe u r my idol

[PandaBear351]

To be completely honest JayyVonMonroe is my idol.I was being bullied because I looked different,acted different&I'm an open bisexual.I don't have many friends b/c no one can really accept me b/c they aren't used to the stuff that I'm into.I feel alone most of the time, but whenever I listen to BOTDF&when I watch Jayy's videos I realize that it's okay to be different. BOTDF saved me from taking my own life.And meeting Jayy, literally made me a happier person b/c I can now embrace who I am. <3

@choochie57 Thats amazing hun! We need more people like you to stand up for the weak! I stuck up for a girl once in school! Even though I was very quiet and shy and really only had one friend! But this girl was in special classes and she was in a wheel chair and couldn't talk that well! It was 3 preppy bitches picking and making fun of her on the sidewalk between classes! I made it to where they picked on me instead! Then my friend kicked the main 1's ass and the other 2 walked away!

Poor Jayy, I know exactly how that is. Maybe not that extreme, but I get my share of hate. I've always been bullied and never thought much of it. It seemed normal to me, but it wasn't. I didn't know that was wrong. I was bestfriends with a group of guys and they always held me down and beat me up, I thought that's just how guys were, so I never said anything and just took it, but it only escalated from there... Jayy, as well as many others, are/were extremely brave/strong to put up with it.

[choochie57]

I'm 100% against bullying and I'm in high school so that's kinda rare.....but I once got suspended for stopping someone from getting bullied and I'm proud of it!! This handicapped kid who I'm friends with was getting picked on by some dumbass Preppy bitch and it was right before class. The boy sits one desk in front of me and the girl was calling him names and shit so I got up walked kindly over to her and bitch slapped her. Of course other ppl tried to jump in but I have friends too. But I got

@Mommonroe Just wanted to say that I really admire you and Jayy and I think it's really awesome that he encourages everyone to just be themselves and everything, because a lot of artists won't stick up against bullying. But, yeah, just like the other people said, he's fabulous and so is the band and you did a great job raising him . :)

[vick123465]

@Mommonroe you got an awesome son I haven't have the opportunity to meet him But my God he is fabulous! & it broke my heart when I heard him talk like that! He is beautiful & he haves a lot of talent I have been bullied cause I look different & I listen to their music cause it's who I am but they don't understand & where I live peopple who listens rock are like freaks Say that I wish them luck ;) & that they're awesome!

[BOTDFSamiStitches]

@mommonroe you are very welcome :) I can see why he's your gift..hestands for such great things and has an amazing voice ^_^ you did good!! :)

[TheTalentedMrArashi]

Aw, I feel bad for him now. But I like how he's cool talking about it, like he's not all dramatic even though that sounds really horrible. I'm entirely against bullying and its so stupid and narrow minded to bully people cuz they dress or act different than u.

[JazziSGTC17]

@Mommonroe you're son is an amazing guy, I've met him twice and he was so sweet. It was an amazing time when I finally met him cause he has inspired me a ton to just not care about my haters or what others think of me, the fact that even all his tweets make me smile just make me feel lucky to have met him your son is amazing you did great! I'm so happy you're proud of him. Some parents hate who there kids are which is sick. Anyone who hates Jayy is just missing out cause he is so great!

[Mommonroe]

@BOTDFSamiStitches Awww thanks hun! He is my greatest gift ever!! <3

[Mommonroe]

@MurgenRae16 Ikr?! I don't get why or how anyone could ever even get mad at him!

[Mommonroe]

[kayleighandelise]

[MurgenRae16]

Jayy is absolutely AMAZING. I don't see why anyone would hate him or bully him....I bet the people who bullied him regret it now..I feel so bad for him..I get bullied now, but not this bad./:
