It’s really sad especially because Viola might seem “gullible” and “naive” to some people, but it’s pretty much exactly what happens when you get into that situation. If you know what it feels like, you’ll understand.
19:45 This scene personal feels so well-written for me is the dreading fact that they just did something bad, but they show it in a way that is so warm and memorable is best describe the feeling of finally getting the validation you wanted, yet it’s short-live and immediately shuts down the second later. This story is so uniquely told I love it 😭
FR, this video is exactly what I feel when I was being left out and bullied, I was forced not to be myself and I’m so glad I spoke up, the backhanded compliments and insults about who I used to be and actually is…
The acting was superb. The storytelling, everything. It is such a small vignette of what classism really is. The fake feminism, the corporate feminism, the "let others pay for your actions", all this. My niece got caught stealing alongside her friends who were all rich and born into privilege because she felt peer pressured to do so.
LOLL THE DANCING WHEN SHES SAYS VIOLA MIND SAYS 😭😭 anyways, this film is way more accurate, unlike other films were they use stereotypical situations. You could also see how Viola started changing the way she dresed and behaved.
I usually don't like films like this because of the unrealistic depiction of common teasing/passive bullying, but honestly, as a 'new kid' who commonly finds herself in situations like Viola found herself here, I relate so much more than I ever thought I would. Even the girls' mannerisms while gossiping in the bathroom are so familiar to me and though I appreciate its realness, I still do get mad, which is amazing. I recognize those words and phrases way too well for my own good. Huge kudos for this.
Hey I hope you’re okay, that must be tough, you don’t deserve to feel like sh*t or get sh*t thrown at you, i hope you get the validation and recognition to not be judged as you deserve ❤️
"She isnt like us." THE WAY THAT SUNK IN. OH MU GOD?! THE ACTING TOO, THE CLASSISM. THE WAY SHE STOPPED CHOPPING THE FRUIT AND THE WAY THAT GIRL KEPT TAKING ANYTHING THE OTHER GIRL GAVE HER BUT ITS NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED?? THE ACTING IS ACTUALLY INSANE!! I LOVE THIS AND I GOT ATTACHED TO VIOLA AND WHO SHE IS AND WHAT SHE DOES IN 22 MINUTES. THE FAKE FEMINISM,WHEN SHE IGNORED HER FRIEND IT PISSED ME OFF SO MUCH I FORGOT IT WAS ACTING!!
I was bullied for being weird tbh half rhe time I deserved it i was so cribge but at the start of this year i was excluded for no reason at all and my friends still bulky me
Ikr they all act the same, I use to get really surprised when my bully shush or poke the other one when they get too blunt, I was also glad tho. I guess it’s common behaviour among the bullies
And also watch Pink's "F*ckin' perfect" music video,it also relates to the topic...It doesn't sugarcoat about the fact that we would be victim-blamed if we stand up for ourselves,my heart cries even if my eyes didn't the moment I watched the music video of the song,cuz I relate to the girl also who loves to draw and makes mistakes in her life and then got gaslighted whenever I try to protect myself
The acting is so good!! It is honestly pretty relatable, some kids in my school throw around these words like "groomer", "pedophile", etc. without knowing what they mean and it bugs me a lot. I'm not finished watching but still, it's very realistic!!
coming from a neighbourhood pri sch and having ended up in an “elite” girls sch..i can say that the ppl represented in the vid are quite accurate. the film really hits close to home, hell we even swimming pool lmao
@@jidabrightNo it’s actually not normal 😭 I wish it was. Depends where you live and the type of school you go to. My school doesn’t have one and I’m pretty sure no school in my area does.
one of the things I like about this besides the really accurate depiction of the bullying and subtle peer pressure is how it doesn't end in Viola and her "friends" all making up and her parents understanding, because most of the time (in real life) they don't
This simply depicts the reality that environment could really change someone's behavior. It could really shape the way they think and act like one of them. It's important to consider the people whom we are hanging out with and what their intention could be. And for a person that doesn't have to change oneself just to get in or to fit in with the people who surrounds them and as well as you don't have to dump older and kinder friends just because you have new one and at the end of the day, they'll leave you and you got you. Find the right circle, find the right friends.
Same, even though my old classmates hid themselves with nice faces and behaviours, then they talked behind my back (I discovered that since 9th grade, by one of my old classmates, who I still stay friends with). And since I discovered their double personality, I've hated them for years until the graduation
They added dancing because viola is an wannabe TikToker dancer and that stuff so when the video says “Viola mind!” That means in her viola she find everyone love her and dance with her but in reality no one dancing + no loving her only her old friends from the school ONLY talk to her only
Hey my name is Viola, and i think this is such a great video with such a good message . Yup i got bullied when i was a kid but i'm doing very good now, and for all of those who are getting bullied , remember they are not worth your time ,mental space or your tears . Keep your chin up and never back down , you know your worth better than anyone:)
I love the detail of her using the money her mom was able to give her for the skirt instead of the swimsuit because even though she loves swimming, she wanted to blend in more.
I like how at 21:54 she cant escape from reality so she used some silly words to cope instead, my "friends" were similar to her "friends" and i relate to this ALOT. The confusion, sadness, guilt, and anxiety The "what did i do?" And "i just following them" vibes. The "it's ___ fault!". And the friends talking bad about other to her ears, i relate to it so bad..
I love the small little instances where Violas “friends” will take things out of her hands or make her hold things with little to no thought. I know another comment stated this, but i also like the detail on how they will throw around the idea of being a pedo or something related to that. I know that people will throw around those topics without realizing how deep or serious they can be. The ideas of the texting being read aloud by the people themselves instead of on a screen is also really creative. And the “random” dancing that happens a few times though the film is kinda relatable. It’s that weird feeling to stay positive with the situation being held, even in a very unrealistic and out of place way.
I usually hate films like this but this one was SOO REAL. It was actually realistic and not just classmates bullying (beating up, stealing stuff from them and humiliating) the new one.
this video is so relatable. I wish I could tell my "friends" I was uncomfortable to hear them swearing. I was taught to be a person with ethics and self-esteem so you know it is annoying to listen to those bad words. They regarded swearing unreasonably as something superior and cool and I was supposed to say that to fit in. That is not innocent fun. I am sorry my English is not good. I just want to vent my emotions here.
We're in the same boat! I'm fine with swearing (as long as they don't use it excessively) but my friends think it's cool to go and hate literally everyone but themselves, even their friends. One of my friends would think it's funny to tell someone to die just cause they said goodmorning? And the other one has TOO MUCH of a big ego, just cause you're really pretty and talented doesn't mean that you can be a jerk.
This honestly is reminding me a bit of like how revolutionary mean girls was when it came to filming bullies and that kind of stuff. this short film actually captures a more realistic side to bullying rather than the you. Give me your lunch money and the jock picking on the nerds
Maturity is when you realize... in the future no ones gonna care how many friends u had at school or how well u fit in at school... in the future, only thing that matters is how well you did at studies and stuff. Even i have a similar situation but i keep reminding myself that I've gotta study well cuz getting validation ain't gonna feed me.
That’s normal in a lot of bilingual households. I grew up in England and my mum is British and my dad is Pakistani. They both speak in Urdu to each other and sometimes English at home and when she says anything to me in that language, I respond in English. We understand it but we can’t speak it. A lot of people actually relate to that, it’s not a big deal and neither is it funny lol.
what's the point of this comment... this is perfectly normal, same for me my parents speak Malayalam a lot to me and I understand but can't speak it myself. They can understand english so they understand me and I understand them. whats so surprising about that lol
I'm on summer break before the last year of high school, and RUclips has granted me this video EXACTLY at the right time, with how much I can link with it. When I first started high school in Year 7, I had completely unrealistic expectations of how being around other kids worked from what I would often read in primary school, so I carried the idea to be cool and kind to everyone thinking it would boost popularity, not realising I set myself tf up for the worst. So ever since Year 7, I've been viewed as "that kid" being often used as the punchline of many jokes, and never being taken seriously due to how confident and cheery I'd often act. There's other things that have blown the flames worse over the years. The main ideology at school is to wear mullets (this is Australia btw), solve any problems with other kids with your fists, take the pathway of dropping out in Year 10 for a working-class apprenticeship, and saving up for a V8 sedan with modded engines. I fail to meet these obligations as a boy, and it's something I do notice with acting less masculine than the others, liking music, reading and geography instead. I even lack a sense of humour, to their standards at least, leaving certain times where I set up jokes of events that would flop miserably. And I feel really comforted watching this film. The fact the bullying is all in private in the film (and in my scenario, often piss-taking), and especially the urge to fit in leading to bad consequences. As much friends as I lack, if I tried mixing with the groups of the other guys, I'd often find myself in places I do not fit (drugs, violence, and some other law-breaking stuff).
This reminds me of my school years... When I was tired of being seen as the weird girl and I tried to be friends with my bullies, I got to do things I didn't even want to do just so that they wouldn't make me cry in the middle of the school breaks, how others would be disgusted of me, stepping aside whenever they could and how they said horrible things about me. Bullying always attacks you from the inside and you don't know when you can trust someone else after that, I lived my entire adolescence isolated from everyone, Now I am a person who hardly knows how to socialize, for them I was a mistake in their school years, for me, that was the thing that changed my behaviour forever.
This reminds me of the time when i was send to a specifically elite russian class (because i had a 1st world country background and the principal thought it fitted me) Everyone was chronically online because that had more life than their everyday lives. The pictures they took had to look in goofy angles w a 0.6/0.5 camera zoom, everyone wore watered down baggy y2k clothes (if they had enough money for the social status) and the boys always had these blue, tight uniforms and played brawl stars (it was weird if you didn't). The gap between genders was huge. They also glazed the 2000's american style, and anything western which was weird considering the nationalism and xenophobia. Appearance was what mattered the most, your nails, your hair, your clothes - it's like they assumed they knew you by it because that's all you were to them. The bullying was like something straight out of a movie. I got greeted by girls walking up to me on my first day at lunch and being impressed by my phone's language being english. They "warned" me about who to avoid, because they had pre-established categories for everyone. When i asked someone if we were friends, she dead ass said that they need to find out were i belonged first,,,, The thing that was the most unsettling however, is how the whole school bullied this one girl because of her telegram channel. She didn't post anything even slightly shocking, the main spotlight was on her seriously using emojis and posting things like "im listening to ariana grande *peace sign*" which they found peak cringe And when i tell the whole school, i mean the whole school bullied her. Her channel gained 127 subscribers from 10 in one hour and the hallways were full of people surrounding her, asking for signatures and pictures, sarcastically bullying her by treating her as if shes famous and then posting that picture in their channel. The rich girls added me to all the channels but there was one that stood out. It was a channel about "school events" which was ran by two almost graduating bsf's (in the "popular" circle). They posted random pictures of the disabled kids, stupid drawings and inside jokes. It was the main school information source My (what i thought friend) literally laughed at another girl in front of me because she "looked funny" (she meant dark skin and explicitly clarified it) The whole school was just stuck in their own bubble, they were so terribly emotionally immature to the point that they couldn't even see anything wrong with anything they did let alone think about it. "Yeah, we joke about everyone, but it's light-hearted"
lol either you exhagerate a bit or they sent you to some bourgeoise hellschool. in my experience, high-schoolers are ridiculous everywhere. i personally prefered the russian bullies more; american ones are so subtle its hell. mind telling in which region did you go to school? because your text sounds so ridiculous in contrast to my own experience
Wow this is a great film!! Really enjoyed it, the acting from the girls was excellent, and also the interdek mindset was too real… I feel like I’m reliving school lol (and not in a good way lol)
It’s sad how much I relate to viola, I was bullied a lot in the past and I did everything to fit in. Change my looks my personality everything you can think of.. looking at girls and her friend groups being jealous of their validation and wishing I also had friends that would care for me. Especially because I had such bad experiences with my girl friends in the past and having a strong hatred and jealously between us, seeing cute girls being friends as a girl makes myself ask why I can’t get what they have. Seriously it’s a lot I’ve been through but even at the thought of knowing how much better I am now is what counts.
Hmm, not all private schools are like this. You just have to meet genuine people, and make genuine connections. Although, if it's an unlucky mix, with individuals that have vastly difference values and personalities then yeah, tending to yourself and making friends outside of school is the best way to go.
Didnt watch the full video yet but i have been seeing this on my fyp forever and decided to watch it. Will say if i like or not after watching. OML THIS ATE 10/10 IT ISNT LIKE THAT SHIR DHAR MAN WHO ALWAYS SAYS " hey you dork im going to shove you into this locker "
Poor viola... Maybe I am just like her in school. I tried to be a good, friendly student but... They don't like me and yea... 💔💔💔😭😭some like me but... Most of them don't really like me ig...
Bullying by peers is not the only problem. The way teachers scream even when students make trivial mistakes that is also a big problem especially if an undiagnosed autistic student studies in the school. I am not talking about their prank on the teacher but irl many teachers just treat students like emotional punchbags and toys to abuse. Shaming, blaming, hypocrisy, heirarchy, humiliation, and lacking empathy, humanity, morality, emotional maturity is a crime; not making mistakes or being imperfect. You cannot treat students like criminals and expect them to not become one. Lead by example. They will never trust you, never pay attention, never learn anything good from you if you make them feel constantly on edge and unsafe, intimidated or in danger and if you don't prove that you're humane. For every self-deceptive, self-righteous doomed pereon who was once an abusive teacher, parent or an abusive peer/sibling: Don't make the universe regret by making you a human or even letting you exist. Don't be a Satan like burden on this earth: with this behaviour you are a blot on the word 'human' 'teacher' 'student'. You're nothing but an insecure envious landfill. Without cleaning your mind, intentions, perspective, behaviour, mentality and without correcting yourself, you can't grow. Faking it will not make it. Truth is truth and the only thing you can do is acknowledge it, focus on your own actions and change yourself instead of intending harm or always resenting others. Focus on your actions if you don't wanna destroy yourself because focusing on others makes one fall down. If you choose to be good today, you cannot be defined by your past but yes you will always be held accountable for it but it will lose the power to define you. We cannot grow if we refuse to acknowledge and correct our mistakes. _Each person can only grow by taking accountability because no one is sinless._
The heading literally is so accurate, girl is pretending to have friends or company and copying the vibe just to please herself for not being alone is so - stupid thing ever rr to doo !! Literally lol-
2:49 I never really understood gossip. I hate people when they do that. And it’s not really because I have a really long history about people gossiping about me (I simply never cared) but it just says so much about a person. Like how boring they are to not have something to talk about themselves and have their noses all stuck up on other people’s business and for what? For those 4 mins of laughters
This is so real. I feel myself when I moved to a new school this started happening to me. It’s almost exactly what happened minus more stuff that they didn't show
I'm another kind of Southeast Asian but this hit so hard certain moments gave me flashbacks from school and these flashbacks aren't good ones... Toxic wealthy friends that expect me to catch up to them and withstand their bs, watching everyone at school casually enjoy something I can't afford normally but having to stay quiet since I don't want to bother my parents
its what's going on inside her mind in those times eg; when her mother first gives her $15, she is happy and is no longer upset. like the way children would suddenly see their parents in a better light after an argument because they would offer to buy them mcdonalds or something. the second segment is when both viola and eve were exempted from pe class. In her head, viola saw eve as an ally, because both of them had to be exempted & she naively thought they could both bond over it
@lemoncable She probably wants her old friend and the new friend to become friends, so that she wouldn't have to avoid her old friend anymore 😅 I'm not rlly sure though..
srsly true rn as a student to the point one of my classmates expressed his desire to unalive himself, all bc he was just a little "too quirky" and "weird" for some of the ppl in my class. i'll admit, the way he talks sounds off (he puts on an accent but ig thats his style, we all got our own style of talking) but does that warrant us the permission to mock him?
Unfortunately, this is how many people on the autism spectrum (like me feel). We are basically expected to fake it until we make it, so as not to upset too many neurotypicals/allistics.
@@gaaragirlgo98 That's correct, but that is how we often feel. Just as people of a certain social/economic class are expected to fake it until they make it, so as not to attract the wrong kind of attention.
5:22 I always feel like this in gym :( I have to sit there while I wait for the activity to start while everyone else is talking with there friends or playing with the balls
same happened to me in almost every single time i was any place in my school (i feel so left out because i suck at communicating and i feel jealous when some people talked to each other)

same dude. I am a muslim and swearing isn't for me. But hearing them curse, I began doing that as well just to fit in
totally agree with you!
they think it's so cool and it's just disgusting
We're in the same boat! I'm fine with swearing (as long as they don't use it excessively) but my friends think it's cool to go and hate literally everyone but themselves, even their friends. One of my friends would think it's funny to tell someone to die just cause they said goodmorning? And the other one has TOO MUCH of a big ego, just cause you're really pretty and talented doesn't mean that you can be a jerk.
the guilt feeling in the end...
This honestly is reminding me a bit of like how revolutionary mean girls was when it came to filming bullies and that kind of stuff. this short film actually captures a more realistic side to bullying rather than the you. Give me your lunch money and the jock picking on the nerds
This was insanely accurate, I was w mixed emotions during the whole video lol, nice job
Maturity is when you realize... in the future no ones gonna care how many friends u had at school or how well u fit in at school... in the future, only thing that matters is how well you did at studies and stuff. Even i have a similar situation but i keep reminding myself that I've gotta study well cuz getting validation ain't gonna feed me.
That's a very good mindset me too
ty for this comment, I rlly needed this
9:37 this scene hits hard growing up as a introvert girl😭😭😭
Helppp the mom speaking thai and her daughter speaking english
that’s literally me and my mum except instead of thai she speaks mandarin
It’s normal
That’s normal in a lot of bilingual households. I grew up in England and my mum is British and my dad is Pakistani. They both speak in Urdu to each other and sometimes English at home and when she says anything to me in that language, I respond in English. We understand it but we can’t speak it. A lot of people actually relate to that, it’s not a big deal and neither is it funny lol.
what's the point of this comment... this is perfectly normal, same for me my parents speak Malayalam a lot to me and I understand but can't speak it myself. They can understand english so they understand me and I understand them. whats so surprising about that lol
@@i.love_sTuFf True, as a Filipino myself lmao
HELPPPP THE WAY SHE THREE HER SOCK AS A PADD 😭😭
"IT'S 100% COTTON!"
why does this feel so relatable + realistic at the same time (as a person who has undiagnosed adhd)
what does adhd have to do with this
If you ‘have’ undiagnosed adhd, how do YOU know you have adhd?
I'm on summer break before the last year of high school, and RUclips has granted me this video EXACTLY at the right time, with how much I can link with it.
When I first started high school in Year 7, I had completely unrealistic expectations of how being around other kids worked from what I would often read in primary school, so I carried the idea to be cool and kind to everyone thinking it would boost popularity, not realising I set myself tf up for the worst. So ever since Year 7, I've been viewed as "that kid" being often used as the punchline of many jokes, and never being taken seriously due to how confident and cheery I'd often act.
There's other things that have blown the flames worse over the years. The main ideology at school is to wear mullets (this is Australia btw), solve any problems with other kids with your fists, take the pathway of dropping out in Year 10 for a working-class apprenticeship, and saving up for a V8 sedan with modded engines. I fail to meet these obligations as a boy, and it's something I do notice with acting less masculine than the others, liking music, reading and geography instead.
I even lack a sense of humour, to their standards at least, leaving certain times where I set up jokes of events that would flop miserably.
And I feel really comforted watching this film. The fact the bullying is all in private in the film (and in my scenario, often piss-taking), and especially the urge to fit in leading to bad consequences. As much friends as I lack, if I tried mixing with the groups of the other guys, I'd often find myself in places I do not fit (drugs, violence, and some other law-breaking stuff).
Viola is so pretty tho❤ like actually her eyes are beautiful!
Why did I watch the whole thing? I was genuinely interested
This reminds me of my school years... When I was tired of being seen as the weird girl and I tried to be friends with my bullies, I got to do things I didn't even want to do just so that they wouldn't make me cry in the middle of the school breaks, how others would be disgusted of me, stepping aside whenever they could and how they said horrible things about me.
Bullying always attacks you from the inside and you don't know when you can trust someone else after that, I lived my entire adolescence isolated from everyone, Now I am a person who hardly knows how to socialize, for them I was a mistake in their school years, for me, that was the thing that changed my behaviour forever.
This reminds me of the time when i was send to a specifically elite russian class (because i had a 1st world country background and the principal thought it fitted me)
Everyone was chronically online because that had more life than their everyday lives. The pictures they took had to look in goofy angles w a 0.6/0.5 camera zoom, everyone wore watered down baggy y2k clothes (if they had enough money for the social status) and the boys always had these blue, tight uniforms and played brawl stars (it was weird if you didn't). The gap between genders was huge. They also glazed the 2000's american style, and anything western which was weird considering the nationalism and xenophobia.
Appearance was what mattered the most, your nails, your hair, your clothes - it's like they assumed they knew you by it because that's all you were to them.
The bullying was like something straight out of a movie. I got greeted by girls walking up to me on my first day at lunch and being impressed by my phone's language being english. They "warned" me about who to avoid, because they had pre-established categories for everyone. When i asked someone if we were friends, she dead ass said that they need to find out were i belonged first,,,,
The thing that was the most unsettling however, is how the whole school bullied this one girl because of her telegram channel. She didn't post anything even slightly shocking, the main spotlight was on her seriously using emojis and posting things like "im listening to ariana grande *peace sign*" which they found peak cringe
And when i tell the whole school, i mean the whole school bullied her. Her channel gained 127 subscribers from 10 in one hour and the hallways were full of people surrounding her, asking for signatures and pictures, sarcastically bullying her by treating her as if shes famous and then posting that picture in their channel.
The rich girls added me to all the channels but there was one that stood out. It was a channel about "school events" which was ran by two almost graduating bsf's (in the "popular" circle).
They posted random pictures of the disabled kids, stupid drawings and inside jokes. It was the main school information source
My (what i thought friend) literally laughed at another girl in front of me because she "looked funny" (she meant dark skin and explicitly clarified it)
The whole school was just stuck in their own bubble, they were so terribly emotionally immature to the point that they couldn't even see anything wrong with anything they did let alone think about it. "Yeah, we joke about everyone, but it's light-hearted"
lol either you exhagerate a bit or they sent you to some bourgeoise hellschool. in my experience, high-schoolers are ridiculous everywhere. i personally prefered the russian bullies more; american ones are so subtle its hell. mind telling in which region did you go to school? because your text sounds so ridiculous in contrast to my own experience
wtf with your school
Finally someone talks about this
5:33 this part hits hard when you have close friends in a school but you moved out
But what about Viola's old friends? They seem they didn't even care about her after she moved out
@@alechianese01 huh
The way the depiction of bullying’s actually realistic is incredible. The subtle body language the actors did is amazing.
Wow this is a great film!! Really enjoyed it, the acting from the girls was excellent, and also the interdek mindset was too real… I feel like I’m reliving school lol (and not in a good way lol)
Same hr 🥲
How is this film actually so ACCURATE like it’s not just “ew ur fit” it’s actually true!!!😭😭
It’s sad how much I relate to viola, I was bullied a lot in the past and I did everything to fit in. Change my looks my personality everything you can think of.. looking at girls and her friend groups being jealous of their validation and wishing I also had friends that would care for me. Especially because I had such bad experiences with my girl friends in the past and having a strong hatred and jealously between us, seeing cute girls being friends as a girl makes myself ask why I can’t get what they have. Seriously it’s a lot I’ve been through but even at the thought of knowing how much better I am now is what counts.
i just love how accurate this was
i need a part 2 of this so good
i go to a priavate school in australia, i can guarantee you that its the same here, except ive just learnt to not talk and keep to my books,
private*
Hmm, not all private schools are like this. You just have to meet genuine people, and make genuine connections. Although, if it's an unlucky mix, with individuals that have vastly difference values and personalities then yeah, tending to yourself and making friends outside of school is the best way to go.
Same! I also go to a private school in Australia!
public schools can have snobby kids too - just less of them
I had good friends too but they started to be like this so I changed my friend group and now I am very comfortable
10:51 this whole entire scene makes me so happy im scared this won’t turn out well
i love the texting scenes lol
it's so unique
Why is the mom speaking so formally 😭?
Fr 😂
english is not everyone 1st language 💀 no need to say this
@@m-wp8lx I think they mean Viola's mother, she addresses herself very formally rather than as her mother to Viola
So we can use the captions probably
Every single thai mom speaks like this when their kids do something wrong. Trust me, I would know
Didnt watch the full video yet but i have been seeing this on my fyp forever and decided to watch it. Will say if i like or not after watching.
OML THIS ATE 10/10 IT ISNT LIKE THAT SHIR DHAR MAN WHO ALWAYS SAYS " hey you dork im going to shove you into this locker "
Poor viola... Maybe I am just like her in school. I tried to be a good, friendly student but... They don't like me and yea... 💔💔💔😭😭some like me but... Most of them don't really like me ig...
thats why im trying to find good friends that would help me at first :')
@@AverageFloof0612well, good luck😊
the way this is potrayed is so realistic IM CRYINGG AAA
Bullying by peers is not the only problem. The way teachers scream even when students make trivial mistakes that is also a big problem especially if an undiagnosed autistic student studies in the school. I am not talking about their prank on the teacher but irl many teachers just treat students like emotional punchbags and toys to abuse. Shaming, blaming, hypocrisy, heirarchy, humiliation, and lacking empathy, humanity, morality, emotional maturity is a crime; not making mistakes or being imperfect. You cannot treat students like criminals and expect them to not become one. Lead by example. They will never trust you, never pay attention, never learn anything good from you if you make them feel constantly on edge and unsafe, intimidated or in danger and if you don't prove that you're humane.
For every self-deceptive, self-righteous doomed pereon who was once an abusive teacher, parent or an abusive peer/sibling:
Don't make the universe regret by making you a human or even letting you exist. Don't be a Satan like burden on this earth: with this behaviour you are a blot on the word 'human' 'teacher' 'student'. You're nothing but an insecure envious landfill. Without cleaning your mind, intentions, perspective, behaviour, mentality and without correcting yourself, you can't grow. Faking it will not make it. Truth is truth and the only thing you can do is acknowledge it, focus on your own actions and change yourself instead of intending harm or always resenting others. Focus on your actions if you don't wanna destroy yourself because focusing on others makes one fall down. If you choose to be good today, you cannot be defined by your past but yes you will always be held accountable for it but it will lose the power to define you. We cannot grow if we refuse to acknowledge and correct our mistakes.
_Each person can only grow by taking accountability because no one is sinless._
This was incredible made. The acting, writing, story, metaphors - all of it was fantastic!
The heading literally is so accurate, girl is pretending to have friends or company and copying the vibe just to please herself for not being alone is so - stupid thing ever rr to doo !! Literally lol-
Literally man be a girl with her you would also want to fit in those so called girl groups so as fomo.
Actually, that's how the brain copes. Considering the brain tries not to make you feel too pressured.
“Stupid thing ever to do” …
it's actually really real though, once my sister became like this and dropped her friends of 7 years just to hang out with the "cool kids".
.. are you being serious?
2:49 I never really understood gossip. I hate people when they do that. And it’s not really because I have a really long history about people gossiping about me (I simply never cared) but it just says so much about a person. Like how boring they are to not have something to talk about themselves and have their noses all stuck up on other people’s business and for what? For those 4 mins of laughters
Frrr, it just doesn’t make sense
Literally
To distract themselves from their own insecurities.
she be asking for so much money 😭😭
This is so real. I feel myself when I moved to a new school this started happening to me. It’s almost exactly what happened minus more stuff that they didn't show
Singapore version of "After School Special." Brilliantly done!
The best short movie which I've watched so far. Kudos to the team. 😌👏🏻
Viola is so innocent please do not do her dirty 😭
edit: wait what does nsk actually mean
i think its neighborhood school kid
BANDU PFP SPOTTED IN THE WILD
It's neighborhood school kid, I also did not know and searched for like hours to find out lol
this film honestly resonates with me so much. I went to a new school 3 years ago and ive had to change myself to fit in aswell.
why change to be liked by others that don't like your real self???
This is what real bullying looks like
Ngl i thought this was a cover of not like us. But anyway im glad i clicked on it
this film hits the spot
went through the same thing before i realised that this friendship didnt mean shit. i left everyone of them behind and am way more happy now.
SAMEEE
I'm another kind of Southeast Asian but this hit so hard certain moments gave me flashbacks from school and these flashbacks aren't good ones... Toxic wealthy friends that expect me to catch up to them and withstand their bs, watching everyone at school casually enjoy something I can't afford normally but having to stay quiet since I don't want to bother my parents
*"Bad company corrupts good character"*
Its scary the amount of relatableness i feel 😢
Singaporean flim ❤ nice movie thank you so much . Having enjoyed
Can someone explain the sudden happy song segment bit?
its what's going on inside her mind in those times
eg; when her mother first gives her $15, she is happy and is no longer upset. like the way children would suddenly see their parents in a better light after an argument because they would offer to buy them mcdonalds or something.
the second segment is when both viola and eve were exempted from pe class. In her head, viola saw eve as an ally, because both of them had to be exempted & she naively thought they could both bond over it
That’s a good explanation, but what about the last bit?
Yea im also confused about that@@lemoncable
@@ILoveSeals1 yeah
@lemoncable She probably wants her old friend and the new friend to become friends, so that she wouldn't have to avoid her old friend anymore 😅 I'm not rlly sure though..
I don't usually like short films but this was really good.
HELLLLLLLP THE WAY SHE THREW THE SOCK 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
viola mind says 🗣🗣
That was the most realistic gossiping I'd ever heard GOD DAMN.
11:28 and we cant control our blood sir
Viola is so cute !!
srsly true rn as a student to the point one of my classmates expressed his desire to unalive himself, all bc he was just a little "too quirky" and "weird" for some of the ppl in my class. i'll admit, the way he talks sounds off (he puts on an accent but ig thats his style, we all got our own style of talking) but does that warrant us the permission to mock him?
He's probably just autistic. 🤷♀
i can relate to this film. You can't just fit in no matter what you do.
This is actually like year 5 and 6 for me. SO REAL
this really reminds me of a girl from nowhere episode tbh, but without nanno
btw what does nsk stand for
Neighbourhood school kid if I ain’t wrong
Omg same
Viola is just like dino
Ep?
wait sameee omg
Unfortunately, this is how many people on the autism spectrum (like me feel). We are basically expected to fake it until we make it, so as not to upset too many neurotypicals/allistics.
this isnt about autism, its about economic/social class and privilege
@@gaaragirlgo98 That's correct, but that is how we often feel. Just as people of a certain social/economic class are expected to fake it until they make it, so as not to attract the wrong kind of attention.
@@gaaragirlgo98 She was trying to say how she related to Viola in a way.
literally me ‼️‼️
same but with adhd
Why does the school remind me of alrawabi school for girls?😭😭
frr
Yeah, but the victim stood up for herself
"let it live. catch some sun" IM DYING LMAO
I loved the way that this was shot omg
5:22 I always feel like this in gym :( I have to sit there while I wait for the activity to start while everyone else is talking with there friends or playing with the balls
same happened to me in almost every single time i was any place in my school (i feel so left out because i suck at communicating and i feel jealous when some people talked to each other)
They not like us
literally the first thing I thought when I saw the title
WOP WOP WOP WOP
@ilvjyx what?
