Wow. Thanks for sharing Doxin. The 'Shane Koyczan' video is beautiful. I honestly feel that reaching out to someone being bullied is the most selfless act a person can do. I hope that everyone reading this can remember that and one day, when the need arises, can step forward and just be there for another person who needs someone.

Thank you for taking the time to have a look. That video is probably the one and only time I've thought "this guy gets it". There's a lot of people in the world unaware of bullying. It gets stereotyped to this thing where people are hung from their underwear in the showers, while that's a thing that happens too I bet, it's not what happens most commonly. Most bullying is invisible. It happens when no one who cares is looking and leaves no physical marks.

I just hope to show as many people as possible this video in the hope to create awareness of what bullying is, and not what the media portrays it to be.

For those unable to watch the video for whatever reason you can find the text here[0] but it's much more powerful when spoken by the author, You can tell it impacts him deeply to tell these stories.
