Nice episode! Thanks for all your storiess. And its very rare to see past bullies actually aware of their wrongdoings and even admitting. Very brave of you to admit and glad you've changed for the better, Dewy!
I feel so bad for shalome. I really cannot how someone can go through this. The taking out of her clothes and taking naked pics of her is too far! I really cannot believe that racism can go this far. Just because she is the only Indian does not mean that we should not disrespect her and make jokes of her. I feel like her parents should ask her why she got bullied but then they just assume that she is not doing well is studies. Also, how does her parents not see her scars? Shalome, you are a brave girl and I respect you. If one day you see your bullies(only if you can still recognise them) and they say bad things about you, just walk away and wish that karma is a bi*** and hope they fall down and graze their knees ( i am being too mean but they need to have a lesson learnt). I can also kind of relate to Jia Wei. I am also a bit of an obese person ( I am p6 now) and I have a classmate who kept saying stuff like “ wear a bra, your b**bs are too big” " you need to go to losing weight secondary school" things like that.( the fact that she is a prefect is worse) I also laugh it off but I will never tell anyone cause I am really scared that people will fight me for exposing what they did. I also scream like a girl and I am slay so some people call me gay, girly pop, transgender those stuff. I also just laugh it off but I am quite affected by it to the point that I just fat-shame myself too. I also got touched on my butts twice but it was not accidental. When I was queuing up of food, a student from 6D touched my buttocks and that happened once in p4 and once in p6. I feel like these are considered minor but Shalome’s bullying is too far. I wish that there is a world that there are no people like this. These people do not know how far these can go and they do not know in what way they are wrong. I really feel bad for people who got bullied before because I am also one. (I am a boy fyi)
I’m 29 this year and I still often dreamt abt my secondary school classmates that bullied me like I was back in secondary school…. I think I suffer from ptsd
Bullying is an understatement. What they experienced are considered criminal intimidation & acts. Should have called the police. It’s embarrassing how Singapore schools & parents do not bother educating every child when to speak up when intimidated at the slightest.
when we were growing up, we were taught to be nice and it was reinforced, so when we got bullied, we only know how to play nice. truth is the world is filled w awful people , where awful things happen, stop trying to be nice all the time. don't put your views, sensibilities and desires in 2nd place or last place.
I am Sec 4 this year, but when i was in P6 i was bullied by like this group of bullies and like they went to bully me. The worst case was when one of them dared another guy in the group to push me down the stairs and he pushed me down from the top of the stairs and im suffering a permenent injury from that injury. P.S. The guy got expelled like a month before PSLE
I got bullied when I was in secondary four, I was having insomnia, which I gained a lot of weight and I started to have bad habit of binge drinking a lot of water at one go. that year was rather torturous and till today I still had the trauma playing in my head which became my anxiety, and remember exactly what had happened that year. it started off with every pe lesson, they would throw either captain ball onto my private area or hit my head. then to became they would kick the soccer ball more than 5km away from the field and target at my head. I probably got headshot two to three times. the list goes on, finding trash in my bag, lost textbook to asking for my homework to copy, to following me home, which I only realised they followed me home when I saw them while going up the lift, and seeing them outside my house, they would even tell jokes of me to the entire class, which everyone laughed along. I was so sleep deprived I screwed up my n level ebs coursework. we were working on the coursework, on second day, the teacher decided to change up the schedule to free period instead, which I didnt hear, neither did those around me heard it, so I asked them, they said carry on from the previous lesson, so I did. and when the teacher walked towards the door as he was heading to the staff room, he turned around to get the keys but saw I was doing the coursework, he had to ask me to delete the entire file as I was breaching the exam by having the copy out of the thumb drive, and doing the coursework out of the specific timing. I got depressed and didnt attend school ever since then. and eventually got thyroid as the principal suspected that I have thyroid which was jackpot spot on. all these happened nine years ago, been to the doctor for thyroid and issue with the female hormones as I dont get period ever since then and this year finally found the answers, I have pituitary gland problem , I read up the symptoms, the anxiety/depression due to that incident actually cause these issue. I initially thought it was the head injury or the private injury, but everything, especially those trauma and injuries led to current state. I suppose it considered as the worse case of getting bullied, the scars will be on forever since it damaged my pituitary gland. I had been having trouble getting a job, and the symptoms of the pituitary gland immediately explained it all. probably a answer I have been waiting for the past nine years.
I was bullied in JC. I never expected this because I was really excited to meet new friends (and i was never bullied in my whole life before jc) 😢 tbh what my bullies did (called me names, made up rumours about me, constantly kicking my chair, following behind me and shouting my name v loudly non-stop until i replied, messaging me random things etc etc) doesnt seem much compared to what the girls in the video shared (really really horrible and im glad they are doing so well now), but to me I felt so depressed and suicidal back then. Can anyone imagine the daily fear of going to school when u fucking wake up in the morning? I was also late to school a few times because of how much i dreaded going to class. I also told my parents about it but they just brushed it off, saying i was petty & sensitive, and should learn to be tough. I also remember writing to my form teacher in J2 (when she asked us to write about the class. she did absolutely nothing. The worst thing was when i told my friend in class (the only friend i had) about them and all she said was: they are just joking. Honestly i dont really remember much about JC except that i dreaded going to school every single day, and that i would cry myself to sleep every night. I cannot imagine how i survived when there was pw, or other grp & class activities, where i had to go out of school with them. The only reason I kept going cuz I was active in my CCA and had friends there. Its pretty ironic cuz i know that my bullies will never know what emotional trauma they caused me since they think that they were just joking. FYI my bullies were literally all the guys in class, which caused me to be v afraid of men, even up till today. I don't really dare to befriend guys cuz in my mind ill just think that they are probably judging me and making fun of me. But like lmfao no i will never forgive my bullies. At the age of 17 and 18, there is absolutely no excuse for bullying. And for the girls in class who did nothing to help me are plain disgusting as well. I think its very very important for someone to speak up and help. In my case, i just felt so helpless because my parents, friend and classmates either kept quiet or victim-blamed me (saying that i am too sensitive, over reacting etc). Honesrly, i did question if i was just over reacting but after some thought, I was very surebthat i was not over-reacting. Its not possible for me to feel such feelings of fear and dread for no reason. Also, even if what my bullies did were not as serious as it seemed, no one should be made to feel this way and what they did was wrong. Honestly bullying at JC is really childish, like what joy can u get from hurting someone? I initially laughed it off but eventually i just ignored them (which is why the bullying died down in j2 ig). Then when i finally graduated from JC, i thought that my bullying will stop BUT NO, i experienced workplace bullying while working at my part time job (while waiting for uni to start). That's another story to tell but long story short I developed fear of work ever since (as in i feel that i wont ever be able to perform well at work) and even though i am a full time working adult now, I still feel that fear that I will get fired anytime. The impact of bullying is real and words DO HURT as much as physical bullying. I still and never will understand how people can be so heartless as to feel joy through bullying.
I have been bullied till i was 19 not once anyone has stand up for me till today i haven't got strong only weaker and weaker for real childhood has been very bad for me
Nice episode! Thanks for all your storiess. And its very rare to see past bullies actually aware of their wrongdoings and even admitting.
Very brave of you to admit and glad you've changed for the better, Dewy!

Yea… so sorry she had to go through that sia..
I hope you continue standing up for yourself too !
@@braydentann3489 Thanks I appreciate that
@@braydentann3489 kinda shocked you were able to read all this haha
Fight back actually works! Reminded me of my own past. It did scare off the bullies and growing in height did helped in deterring the bullies.
I’m 29 this year and I still often dreamt abt my secondary school classmates that bullied me like I was back in secondary school…. I think I suffer from ptsd
Love this series so much. Keep up the goodwork

Watching this reminds me of similar experience in secdondary school, sadly no stood up and I had to tank through those shenanigans

We need more awareness then > move to action to support people in need
I have been bullied till i was 19 not once anyone has stand up for me till today i haven't got strong only weaker and weaker for real childhood has been very bad for me

The excessive use of sound effects really distracting to the tough stories.
Sorry I think those perpetrators must be prosecuted. Pls make a police report.
