    This video is great. When I have children, I will always teach them to be strong to stand up for themselves, their loved ones and, most importantly, everyone who needs help. I know that peer pressure make people do and say things they don't mean, but it's also a matter of education. Be brave and confront people!

    This is such a beautiful and powerful video. I agree with you @AndreTheGiant, parents need to teach their kids to not only stand up for themselves but also for others who need it.

    I loved how they conveyed the pain and suffering through the visuals, the poetry and the soundtrack. I was lucky enough to never experience any severe form of bullying when I was younger (everyone does a little to some extent), but I would be curious to hear from anyone who has. What do you think about this video? Does it portray the phenomenon of bullying in a truthful manner? Could watching it help kids who are victims of it, or is it just a beautiful piece of art?

    Oh and I would also like to add that, while a little hassle is kind of normal between kids (I say "a little", mark my words) and is considered a necessary evil for growing up stronger and affirming one's place in society, we need to stop the commonly accepted idea that it bullying is a normal and formative thing. Parents need to be aware of that, so they are able to support their children in other ways that just saying things like "punch back! man up!". Only then will kids stand up for themselves, and for other kids weaker than them.

    A general question to the community: Do you think it is okay to react with violence to being bullied? I am completely against violence and would always search for another way to solve a conflict, but I can't say that I did not enjoy when Casey Hines decided to fight back... What do you think?
