The scariest thing is how desensitised children are now days. I can't believe how many kids walked over him while he was on the ground & no one reported it to the teachers.
How is stuff like this allowed to happen but the kid that wears the wrong uniform shirt gets suspended....priorities. I can't stand schools...always focused on the wrong things.
I share your hatred but what about the parents gigglyfitzgirl ? I mean how did it get to a point where an 8-year old boy couldn't talk to his mom about what he was experiencing. I hate blaming people who are grieving but this should be a reminder to parents to stop walls from forming between them and the kids.
Fredrich I thought about saying that but didn't cause I didn't want people to come for me and call me insensitive. But yeah there's definitely something about this story that smells off. And the fact that he committed suicide...there was something going on mentally that nobody picked up on. I don't believe an 8 year old could hide his emotions THAT well to the point that anyone who knew him well wouldn't notice that something was off. There needs to be communication between parents and their kids constantly.
gigglyfitzgirl I didn't want to seem insensitive but it had to be said, we have to reach a point where we can all voice our somewhat uncomfortable opinions without other people making us feel bad for doing so. But parents do have a tough job though, how can a parent walk the fine line between disciplining a child and building up walls, because one of the consequences of disciplining a child is the formation of walls between the parent and the kid.
gigglyfitzgirl this is why i now homeschool my children. they are very smart and active but dont have to deal with bullying the way i had to. SIDENOTE: i talk to my children all of the time about how to deal with those situations because i will not always be there.
I'd be suing the pants off of that school I don't care. That child ain't even 10 years old and had enough hurt in his heart to willingly take his own life. The kind of trauma he endured is unthinkable... Touch his soul in Jesus name 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Parents and schools have to teach their kids to stand up for themselves with violence used only to defend themselves. Tell an adult or a police officer or someone you trust who can protect you.
Indi jay I agree. I'm really on the fence with bullying because I also believe the saying "if you're weak, the strong will prey on you" I think I'd teach my child how to defend themselves at all cost. Most kids get bullied because they simply don't know how to stand up for themselves. And that's a problem within itself
swaggpro17 Ugh this makes me so angry. Not only did they allow this child to be bullied and assaulted, they had the nerve to then lie about it?? Sickening. I hope every staff member that was involved gets fired and is no longer allowed to work in any school.
gigglyfitzgirl not only that but he didn't even tell his mom oh my gosh this makes me so mad I can't believe that happened I want my son to come to me and tell me anything no matter what it is
Fiy Ade I know, I have a daughter that age. my baby is the most precious treasure I have on this planet and I don't let her get on the bus without her knowing her worth and Value. I see strength in her she can't even see. She may be sick of hearing it but she knows she's no shrinking violet and she's never alone.
ilamillad I feel the same about my baby too his not even in school yet haven't started kindergarten im so afraid of him going to school because people like to shoot up schools now I tell him how smart he is and how much we all love him everyday makes me cry I don't want my baby to every feel that vulnerable I don't care what you did tell me will fix it
Schools always talk about having a "zero tolerance policy" for bullying but when a student is actually being bullied, school officials ignore it until the kid ends up talking their own life. If that was my child, I'd sue the school/district for every penny they have.
keepyoureyesopen facts! Most schools like my high school was are "zero tolerance" but when stuff is reported not much is done to investigate or punish the bully
Keepyoureyesopen Exactly and then parents don’t even help either they rarely take it seriously,they just say” You’re being dramatic ,kids are just mean”.
Poor baby 🙁. I was bullied by a boy in high school so bad that one day I called my mom crying and she called the principal. When the principal confronted (without mentioning me) the bully began saying names of all the different kids that could've snitched. Long story short he was expelled. 🙌🏽
swaggpro17 yeah she really needs to write some books. I feel like Loni and Jeannie have so many great lessons to teach people. It's a shame they don't want kids.
I like Loni too because she didn't grow up in the industry her and Jeannie are the only ones who have real life perspective prior to getting famous. Loni has lived life and truly knows things.
Indi jay Yeah, whenever serious topics come up, I can either rely on Jeannie or Loni to offer something educated and thoughtful. To me, Tamera and Adrienne's opinions are very generic, they always sound like they're just regurgitating quotes and sayings that they've heard.
it was tearing her up emotionally towards the end of the segment. she couldn't even get the words out before she started to cry. this must hurt her so much more than anyone else.
phillygyrl30 that's what gets me. How did a little 8 year old boy know what to do to end his life. Also it kills me that kids nowadays know enough/are aware enough to know that death is and End a finality. When I was 8 I vaguely understood or barely had a notion of what death meant. It hurts my heart to think his situation was bad enough that in his mind the only solution was death. I can't fathom the desperation.
@@uniqueunique28 I'm the same way, how a 8 year old knows how to tie a tie and hang himself from a bunk bed. That your apartment is small as hell and you never went to check on your child. So what was you doing that whole time in that small apartment. Was this at night and you're sleep? I get that he was bullied that's not right but it is sad that it happened this way. Was he bullied at Catholic school as well prior to starting Public school? God bless this family
I agree with Remy. I think we're focusing so much on what to do if you are bullied, which is right-but there needs to be communication to bullies themselves. Somebody is raising these kids that are out here abusing other children. Let me find out my child is a bully, they will receive the ass whooping of their life. Like how dare you use your time and energy to make somebody else's life hard? How dare you behave like you are so much better than someone who can't defend themselves?
Criminal law should be enforced in schools. Children are some of the most vulnerable people in our society, usually without the resources or voices to defend themselves, and should be protected as such.
I bet you they would have made a phone call to the mother if he was getting trouble at school but you can't pick up the phone to tell a mother that her child is being assaulted/ bullied? Wow, sickening.
As an educator I can tell you, THE SCHOOLS ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH. Bulling is such a serious problem. There are several reasons for this 1) Schools don't have enough resources/options to handle bullies 2) Parents are in complete denial about their children's delinquent behavior and will literally challenge anything you tell them. This leaves bullies to feel entitled and without repercussion. The Schools hands are then tied and teachers are forced to ignore some issues just to get through a lesson. It's sad and not right. The wellbeing of these students is upmost important. Give public Schools more options to handle bullies! Cut out all the legality bullshit and impose REAL consequences to deter the behavior.
Agreed. There are a lot of rotten kids who sometimes do things in front of their parents and go undisciplined. People are cranking out babies without any thought about how to raise them, end up working full time and leaving the schools to "babysit" their kids. Schools with limited resources are like mini-prisons.
Let me tell y'all what bullying is : Whether it is from social media , peers , or causing mental or physical harm.... it is trying to overpower a person and make them feel bad about themselves based on your insecurities!!! Why are we still having to talk about this in 2017 not even that but these bullying cases are no longer bullying they are now homicides , murders , and etc. this shouldn't even be happening to a 8 year old ! PERIOD
I know commenters often talk about keeping persons on the show but Remy mannnn!!! That woman deserves a place at that table. She is so well informed and well spoken and she really hit home with her comments about bullying in schools. Even if y'all have her on once a week every month I wouldn't mind but it definitely is something to look into.
I know!!! I know that she gets talked about because of her jail time, but when she has a clear head, everybody better listen to her wisdom. She was calm, articulate, and had great points.
Alexis G I'm not talking about this clip alone luv. Based on other clips she has also had very meaningful things to say which I'm sure someone out there can identify with.
Thank God for older siblings when it comes to bullying tho! I remember when I got bullied at 8 years old and my older brother stopped playing football to run over and you best believe he grabbed that little boy and lifted him clear off the ground😭 bearing in mind my brother was this skinny 11 year old. I was just watching with this smug look on my face like "Ain't God alright this morning? Hallelu" Needless to say, there was a rumour we were in the mafia and I was practically untouchable for the rest of primary school😂😂😭 But honestly my heart goes out to those that are defenceless💔💔
Man, the bullying in american schools is on a whole other level. These kids must be learning it from somewhere or have some issues going on within. Parents need to school their kids on being better people, it's time to take it seriously.
Sisi A plus in Japan and South Korea they have the highest rates for suicides. Nowadays bullying is happening everywhere way worst then it was back then it's sad what the new generation is like
It is very sad. Bullies don't get a kick from the fact that they've made someone cry, it comes down to a need for control. The power they feel is what gets them hooked on to it, we really need to teach kids how to channel those kinds of needs in a positive way because now we have EIGHT year olds committing suicide. He shouldnt even know how to do that, but this mess had driven him to it. Society needs to fix up ASAP
Very sad indeed, if I ever have kids, i would truly make it a priority to teach them self love and self defence to protect themselves from issues like this.
When I was in second grade there was this girl that would always punch me and pinch me for no reason. At that time, I did told my mother that this girl was hurting me and am glad I did, because after I told my mother, she told the teacher who talked to the girl and she no longer touched me again. I'm proud of myself for doing the right thing, even though at the time I was scared.
When I was 7/8 I moved from London to a little village in Ireland. I was the only black girl in the whole school and I got bullied for my accent and skin colour. At the time I didn't understand the concept of race so I couldn't understand why people would wipe themselves after touching me or why people said I talked funny. smh I told my mum after some time and she told the school. The bullying stopped immediately but it already had lasting effects on how I viewed myself and my culture. I had very negative ideas of my dark skin and I spent the next 6 years wondering why I wasn't born white. I remember I would think I was innately superior to white people and I didn't realise this at the time, but it was ingrained in my subconcious. I didn't begin to understand that there is nothing inferior about being black untill I moved to a new school where I met other young people who looked like me. By this time I had already forced myself to adopt the Irish accent. But when I was 16 I moved back to London, I decided to drop my pretend accent and actually speak without thinking of how I wanted to sound. The mixture of my accents resulted in an American sounding accent (my mum likes to call it International). I always wonder what I would sound like if I was never pressured to assimilate. Would I have an accent that actually ties to my heritage culture and upbringing rather than the ambiguous one I have now?
The school district that I grew up in was absolutely disgusting when it came to handling bullying. My younger brother has been bullied since about 3rd grade, he's going into his senior year soon. The amount of times my parents or myself have gotten involved with the administration at the schools he's attended throughout the school district growing up about the bullying he has been dealing with and how the administration has not done anything about it makes my blood boil. Thankfully he has gained strong skin and is able to push through it, even though he shouldn't have to do that in the first place. I am so proud of my younger brother though, because he is now graduating high school early and will be starting college sooner than anyone else in his school...and will be getting away from the terrible "administration" our school districts calls themselves!
I'm crying so much right now, he didn't even deserve it. I'm 16 years and after I saw this I was just surprised of how brute a bully can be, I'll will never let my child ever have that experience or even bully another kid
I'm embarrassed to be human😩😭😭😭 Wait till I have kids, I'll educated my children to tell me EVERYTHING...This is crazy coz last night my baby cousin in 7th grade called me, she is now attending the highschool I went to 3yrs ago and asked if I had some friends who is still attending that school and I told her no we're all grown and left HS already without knowing she was being bullied so she asked if I had friends from there which she could have some support from😩😩 (my mum told me after) Those kids are lucky I'm in Australia so far away, if not! only God knows what will happen..😑😑
Exactly!!! I'll tell them even if it's good or bad we'll fix things together and make it work!! I can never lose a child over bullying, it hurts way more worse than dying over a disease😩
He was unconscious for five minutes and was apparently overlooked by the school staff. When he went home he vomited(signs of a concussion), he went to the doctors and they claimed he had a stomach virus. When he got home is when he killed himself. I believe he had a major concussion and should have been monitored better at the hospital. Because of the brain injury, some neurons got crossed, and caused him to kill himself. Everyone dropped the ball here, the school, and the hospital he was taken too.
The school staff should be mad but to avoid lawsuits they ignore it. If it was the principal's kid who was bullied...oh boy. Action would take place immediatley.
Honestly, the worst thing isn't having a child who's being bullied; the worst thing is raising someone who bullies other people. Parents are too busy telling their kids how special they are and not enough time teaching them how treat other people. It's not enough for a child to know how to stand up for themselves; children need to know how not to treat their peers.
It honestly breaks my heart to think that a child so young is even capable to understand the concept of suicide. What are we doing as a society to allow our children to have thoughts like this? I was bullied at that age and suicide never crossed my mind because I didn't even know it was a thing! I feel so bad for this boy because it's clear he went through or witnessed something in his short life in order to even understand what suicide actually is. That poor baby.
I think it may have to do with the fact that children have so much access to ANY and EVERY thing on the internet now a days. There's literally a challenge trending amongst young kids that started in Russia that ends up with the children killing themselves in most cases. We live in a society where there are no longer boundaries and having any ounce of morality, priorities, organization, empathy/ compassion and goals is frowned down upon. There are so many children with massive amounts of pain in their hearts more than anyone could imagine nowadays because technology and the web has taken over basic communication. We need natural authentic communication to remain humane and sane. I think a massive part of that is not being embedded and integrated in young children anymore and most feel alone, bullies and victims.
NANA that is so true. You really hit the nail on the head there. Technology is great for so many things but it's really exposing our children to things we've never even heard about. So sad
Brazil Jones you are most welcome and you don't deserve to be treated like that just keep strong don't let nobody tell you anything different and you will be okay
Be strong boo. Never let them get the best of you cause that's honestly what they're trying to do. Know that you're better than them because you don't need to pick on someone else to make yourself feel better. Im here if you an ear to listen boo 😘😘
my heart broke hearing this. R.I.P. No one deserves to be treated so horribly! please teach your children how to treat others respectfully!! its unfortunate that bullying happens so often.
My mom always motivated me and gave me the confidence to talk to her about deep things, she always work on my self-esteem and how to love me and defend myself... I am Dominican with cinnamon skin with curly hair. There were children who tried to make me feel bad or less about myself but their words never crossed my skin, thanks the way my mother raised me. When she saw the signs of what could be a bulling start for a "little girl" (I was like 7-8), she gave me an incredible talk and together with my father bought me two dresses that highlighted my color and a necklace of many colors... I was the bomb in my neighborhood. I still remember how my mom stood me in front of the mirror, and said to my reflection "Look at that color so beautiful, it's like milk chocolate... I wish I had that color, those thighs, that butt... wow and those killer smiles you have, your eyes are so beautiful that make me smile when I see them... never think that you are not beautiful. Many people will say ugly things either because of envy or they are not happy, do not worry about those people... people will always talk for good or bad... start worrying when they stop talking about you." That always stayed with me, I never hesitate for a second the love she feels for me. I love you mami and thanks to you I am who I am today.
I was waiting for Tam to cry. She is soooooo genuine and beautiful. I started crying when she said, "I am sick and tired of hearing about stuff like this"
My heart breaks for what this little boy went through and I can't even begin to imagine the pain and heart ache his mother feels. I have a 7 year old little boy and he's my world..if he had done this my world would come crashing down. I pray for this little boys mother. You fly high sweetheart. You the brightest Angel in Heaven💔
I was bullied for two years in middle school and I never told my mom. I think part of the reason why is because, at the time, I wasn't aware that I was being bullied. I thought that the kids were just being mean to me because they didn't like me and that they didn't like me because I wasn't a likable person. Looking back at it now, I can see it for what it was.
Poor baby . My heart and prayers go out to his family . I shed a tear watching this because As a new mom, I hope & pray my son does not have to experience bullies..
Schools need to get their priorities straight. Im in Australia and my school cared more about what we were wearing, like tights instead of normal black pants, rather than the fact that girls were cutting their wrists in class in front of teachers. My school was a zero tollerence zone and yet it took me getting an avo (like a restraining order) against a class mate before they would transfer him into a different elective class even though they could have done it with a simple signature from the principal but instead I had to go to court for them to do anything. Better policies and practices need to be put in place to protect our youths. My heart goes out to the family of the young boy. No child should ever take their own life much less a child who has barely had a chance to experience the world in any capacity 💔💔
I was bullied from grade 6 till my sophomore year of school. It was a group of "popular" kids who felt like it was funny just to bring others down that they didn't feel were rich or beautiful. I remember one incident where one of the girls that my brother dated in my grade decided to get revenge for my brother breaking up with her. Their words were so hateful that I always came home in tears. I did speak up at home after my brother noticed something was wrong. He tried to stand up to them for me but it made matters worse to the point where they wanted me to kill myself. Thankfully my mother decided to move my brothers and I to another city and the bullying stopped. Ever since then, my self-esteem has been so low that I don't feel beautiful enough or good enough to be around other people. I am thankful I have people around me that help me see how special I am and how worthy I am to get love. I also married a wonderful man that notices the minute I feel down and then tries to bring me back up.
I'm so thankful that these discussions are being had. Not just about bullying, but now about the ugly reality of schools being guilty for trying to avoid "liability" and losing their humanity and consciousness of a suicide having occurred, so they don't have to go through any trouble. It's so sick to me how innocent and inaudible that child is, I hope there is justice for Gabriel and anyone else that has been in this situation.
Bullying is natural. It will not go away but it can be prevented in some cases and punished. That being said, assault does need to be classified as assault. It undermines the full extent of what was done when you call it something less. Kids who bully need punishments from the school and their parents. Kids who commit assault need to be in juvie. Notice how they didn't say anything about what happened to the kids who hurt that poor boy.
Bullying happens all over the world. I'm from Nairobi, Kenya and I was bullied in high school and to make it worse, it was a boarding school. It was the worst experience of my life and to this day, almost 10yrs later, i haven't gotten over it. I ran away from school when my life was threatened and i refused to go back. Every time i think about how other students can get mean, it pains my heart. It's sad that this happens.
This is so sad, an 8 year old , his whole life ahead of him. Smh I'm going to hug the hell out of my kids when they get home from school today. Tell them how much I love them and share this little boys story with them. Every parent should share this story with their children,as a means of prevention, opening up the communication lines with them, and just to remember the life that was lost. My thoughts & prayers will be on this family. God help them cope.
Shows like 13 reasons why really opened my heart and mind about not only suicide but also how some kids feel alone and kids at elementary, middle and high school go through a lot. We need to come together as people not push each other away. My heart goes out to his family and friends and a 8 year old RIP 🙏🏽
Bullying need to stop man like these kids need to respect people's feelings even if it doesn't mean anything to you it could be meaning everything to them 🤦🏽♀️
gmcmim1 that's my question whenever body else are talking about the bullies why didn't you stand up for yourself what's happening in your house that makes you not feel like you could talk to your mother about what's going on especially after you were put in the hospital he looks well put together you got the physical part right but did you forget to teach your child emotional and mentally to stand up for himself how to react in certain situations why would he feel so uncomfortable to not talk to his mom but allow a stranger to beat him up and put him in the hospital are you serious right now
What Remy Ma said was absolutely true, the schools do not have the Manpower to monitor everything especially when it depends on the county you live in and how much money there is for the school. With my boys it was the opposite, I told my boys to treat everyone the way you want to be treated and to always stand up for yourself and for those that can't stand up for themselves, the end result to this little story is my boys got suspended about 6 or 7 times because they stood up for those that couldn't stand up for themselves. They were suspended for one day every single time because they got into a fight but only suspended for one day because they fought for those that couldn't fight. This breaks my heart because sometimes these kids feel like they don't have any one to speak to and this is the main reason why I volunteer three times a week at my kids old school, my kids are adults now and are in college, when they come out of college and into the working force they vow to also volunteer a couple days a week, even for a couple of hours because sometimes the school don't have the Manpower I'm not talking about this school that lie to the mother I'm talking about most schools especially the ones in a low-income area, we can all do something , just a little something
Bullying is a really ugly thing. This was a touching segment and it brought back memories of my own personal experiences. I think it's important that we teach and educate our children on how to deal with these situations and be actively engaged with the school policies, systems in place. Where you send you child to school is very crucial. Along with the type of children that go there. It's quite difficult for a parent to keep tabs on everything that occurs whilst their child is at school. Poor kid. Sorry for his parents. May he rest in power.
I'm really proud of Tamera for staying strong during this segment. It was clear how much this affected her. If I were a mother I'd be bawling too hard to read the promoter.
Kennethab13 Some people in the comments aren't bullying in my opinion. It's just that we watch the show almost everyday so certain conclusions can be made from what is said or how a person acts. Something that people do to friends, family etc. But some of the comments can be nasty Lol
This brought me to tears and hit home way too close. My first born is called Gabriel and he's 8. Even though I live in the U.K. It shows how much of a global issue this is. Shame on the school. That is disgusting. I feel for the family.
I'm glad they talked about this because I know how it feels to be bullied and its painful. I will also say for the school not to call the parents/ guardian of the child that is being bullied is beyond messed up especially when they knew about it and didnt fix the issue. I hate schools that don't take the time to care for the students when they are being bullied especially when a bullied student already told a teacher and/ or the principal. Bullying truly has to stop.💯💯
What the hell is wrong with these parents? Like do you think this crap is okay? Don't have kids if you can't handle them because other people actually love their children and want their child's wellbeing
This really hits hard. I had to relocate my daughter an hour away for her to feel safe. I thank God everyday for providing me the help of my aunt to make it possible. Being low income it’s sometimes not an option but He has seen us through thus far and I am happy to say my baby has been thriving and growing into such a beautiful young lady 🙌🏽
This breaks my heart. I'm so sorry that this happened to him. And that he had no one to trust enough to tell his feelings to. I know what that feels like. #tears Mother's, father's just family period it's so important to talk to your children everyday. #questions #support #love
Bullying is such an important topic that needs to be taken more serious. Im sick of hearing things like "-they're just being kids" or "it wasn't that serious" etc. Believe me it's that SERIOUS! My heart goes out to that young boy and hes beloved ones
TheStarLaura Oh goodness, battle rap is not bullying. I don't want to assume anything but you either don't understand battle rap culture or you are younger than 24. Either way this situation and battle rap aren't the same. Also Nicki is not an innocent child, she is rich based on completely copying other 90's rapper and is known as a female rapper who slept her way to the top while blocking other female rappers.
Red Delphino I understand battle rap culture. Remy calls herself a bully, why are you going out of your way to defend her? And because Nicki is rich, she deserves to get bullied? How does that sound??? And the ONLY thing Nicki copied from Lil Kim is the colored wigs, which she doesn't even wear anymore. Nicki surpassed Lil' Kim, and is the highest selling female rapper of all time. These are facts, not fake opinions like that one about her sleeping her way to the top. You must have her confused with Lil Kim.
Remy ma, talking about bullying when the only reason she's relevant now is because of her trying to bully Nicki Minaj haha 😂 saying "it starts at home" when shes a public bully... ridiculous.
As someone who was bullied because of my epilepsy and then antagonize from certain family members making me feel like it was my fault then bullied in the veterinary field as the only male working with females as a licensed veterinary technician. I understand and took many years to forgive.
Tamera I feel your pain girl. You have a beautiful heart. You can tell that Tam was really hurt by this and she really tried to hold back her tears. My condolences to the family of the baby boy
y'all... this is probably the 10th times in this season they talk about bullying. I get it's news too but its like they choose to only talk about the less polarizing news topics...that is why i prefer the View sometimes...
swaggpro17 me neither. I never complain about the repetition like some other viewers. But when i saw the title I cringed and when i heard the content and notice it was still the same angle of " bullying is bad, look what happen again " I flipped my laptop lol
Tan T you didnt get my point, which was they brought that subject way more often only to have the same angle on it. Its always facts then storytelling by one of the girls. At this point they could bring some expert to make awareness or do a segment on it besides the girl talks.
An 8 year old should never commit suicide. How horrible? It’s so sad that this little boy who was so young felt that that was his only choice. It’s heart breaking
My mom lost a child, its the worst feeling in this world. I pray the parents of this little boy got some kind of justice. I pray the lord wil lift this burden...god bless them
Child bullies scare me... If you're this evil at 8, what will you be like at 18?
jennifer atlet exactly!!!!
The scariest thing is how desensitised children are now days. I can't believe how many kids walked over him while he was on the ground & no one reported it to the teachers.
SASSY13169 yes!!!
I wonder what parents these kids might have... this is such a horrible story! I feel so bad for the little boy and his family.
Darnelly Daniels yess!! Wendy keeps it REAL!
How is stuff like this allowed to happen but the kid that wears the wrong uniform shirt gets suspended....priorities. I can't stand schools...always focused on the wrong things.
gigglyfitzgirl rt
I share your hatred but what about the parents gigglyfitzgirl ? I mean how did it get to a point where an 8-year old boy couldn't talk to his mom about what he was experiencing. I hate blaming people who are grieving but this should be a reminder to parents to stop walls from forming between them and the kids.
Fredrich I thought about saying that but didn't cause I didn't want people to come for me and call me insensitive.
But yeah there's definitely something about this story that smells off. And the fact that he committed suicide...there was something going on mentally that nobody picked up on. I don't believe an 8 year old could hide his emotions THAT well to the point that anyone who knew him well wouldn't notice that something was off. There needs to be communication between parents and their kids constantly.
gigglyfitzgirl I didn't want to seem insensitive but it had to be said, we have to reach a point where we can all voice our somewhat uncomfortable opinions without other people making us feel bad for doing so. But parents do have a tough job though, how can a parent walk the fine line between disciplining a child and building up walls, because one of the consequences of disciplining a child is the formation of walls between the parent and the kid.
gigglyfitzgirl this is why i now homeschool my children. they are very smart and active but dont have to deal with bullying the way i had to. SIDENOTE: i talk to my children all of the time about how to deal with those situations because i will not always be there.
I'd be suing the pants off of that school I don't care. That child ain't even 10 years old and had enough hurt in his heart to willingly take his own life. The kind of trauma he endured is unthinkable... Touch his soul in Jesus name 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Parents and schools have to teach their kids to stand up for themselves with violence used only to defend themselves. Tell an adult or a police officer or someone you trust who can protect you.
Schools have to be zero tolerance and have to expel/arrest children so the fear of God can be put into them.
swaggpro17 I agree, the school needs to pay.
Sued to the core...that poor child
Indi jay I agree. I'm really on the fence with bullying because I also believe the saying "if you're weak, the strong will prey on you" I think I'd teach my child how to defend themselves at all cost. Most kids get bullied because they simply don't know how to stand up for themselves. And that's a problem within itself
Thank goodness there was a tape. Imagine if there was no proof of what actually happened. smh
gigglyfitzgirl I thought the same thing. The stories of what happened would be out the roof
swaggpro17 Ugh this makes me so angry. Not only did they allow this child to be bullied and assaulted, they had the nerve to then lie about it?? Sickening. I hope every staff member that was involved gets fired and is no longer allowed to work in any school.
gigglyfitzgirl not only that but he didn't even tell his mom oh my gosh this makes me so mad I can't believe that happened I want my son to come to me and tell me anything no matter what it is
gigglyfitzgirl I didn't recognize that it was you loved the new look dear
Ladyk Ladyk Thank you 💜
Mercy. He was eight.
unfathomable.
Fiy Ade I know, I have a daughter that age. my baby is the most precious treasure I have on this planet and I don't let her get on the bus without her knowing her worth and Value. I see strength in her she can't even see. She may be sick of hearing it but she knows she's no shrinking violet and she's never alone.
ilamillad I feel the same about my baby too his not even in school yet haven't started kindergarten im so afraid of him going to school because people like to shoot up schools now I tell him how smart he is and how much we all love him everyday makes me cry I don't want my baby to every feel that vulnerable I don't care what you did tell me will fix it
I don't even understand how an eight year old KNOWS how to commit or even know what suicide even is.
Schools always talk about having a "zero tolerance policy" for bullying but when a student is actually being bullied, school officials ignore it until the kid ends up talking their own life. If that was my child, I'd sue the school/district for every penny they have.
keepyoureyesopen Preach it!!! That is so true
keepyoureyesopen facts! Most schools like my high school was are "zero tolerance" but when stuff is reported not much is done to investigate or punish the bully
keepyoureyesopen zero tolerance is a joke
Truth
Keepyoureyesopen Exactly and then parents don’t even help either they rarely take it seriously,they just say” You’re being dramatic ,kids are just mean”.
bullies are usually dead inside. there is something wrong with them
Breaks my heart to hear what this poor boy went through..He was so young..RIP :(
Remy said everything 100% correct in my opinion. This type of learning starts at home.
Labria Kennard I agree and applaud this. So much starts with home.
Summer Lyric yes! So many kids and sadly adults, lack basic home training. It's really sad.
Yes 💯💯💯 I hope to God my daughter has the same trust my mother and I had when I was growing up
Labria Kennard 💯
Poor baby 🙁. I was bullied by a boy in high school so bad that one day I called my mom crying and she called the principal. When the principal confronted (without mentioning me) the bully began saying names of all the different kids that could've snitched. Long story short he was expelled. 🙌🏽
Lei Karma! 😉😉💖
This is what disgusts me about bullying the bully never thinks it's their fault.
Lei girl you're way to pretty to be bullied I was bullied by my 1st grade teacher about my color and hairstyles
Vanessa pitts wow.... That's what's wrong with the world... I hope she's not a teacher anymore... Sorry you had to go through that..
Ann Estewar thanks for that she still is a teacher at my brother and sister and cousins school
I like how articulate Loni is on subjects. She's so smart and wise.
Yess! I love how precise she is with her points. I really pay attention to things like that
swaggpro17 yeah she really needs to write some books. I feel like Loni and Jeannie have so many great lessons to teach people. It's a shame they don't want kids.
You Tried It! sometimes producers are the ones telling them to look in the camera when talking, not all the time they're going to look at each other
I like Loni too because she didn't grow up in the industry her and Jeannie are the only ones who have real life perspective prior to getting famous. Loni has lived life and truly knows things.
Indi jay Yeah, whenever serious topics come up, I can either rely on Jeannie or Loni to offer something educated and thoughtful. To me, Tamera and Adrienne's opinions are very generic, they always sound like they're just regurgitating quotes and sayings that they've heard.
Aiden is lucky he has a mother like Tamera!!
it was tearing her up emotionally towards the end of the segment. she couldn't even get the words out before she started to cry. this must hurt her so much more than anyone else.
TRUE STORY.
Am I the only one still stuck on how an 8 year old knew how to go about committing suicide?
phillygyrl30 no you're not... I can't wrap my head around that...
phillygyrl30 that's what I said
phillygyrl30 that's what gets me. How did a little 8 year old boy know what to do to end his life. Also it kills me that kids nowadays know enough/are aware enough to know that death is and End a finality. When I was 8 I vaguely understood or barely had a notion of what death meant. It hurts my heart to think his situation was bad enough that in his mind the only solution was death. I can't fathom the desperation.
I don’t understand either.
@@uniqueunique28 I'm the same way, how a 8 year old knows how to tie a tie and hang himself from a bunk bed. That your apartment is small as hell and you never went to check on your child. So what was you doing that whole time in that small apartment. Was this at night and you're sleep? I get that he was bullied that's not right but it is sad that it happened this way. Was he bullied at Catholic school as well prior to starting Public school?
God bless this family
I agree with Remy. I think we're focusing so much on what to do if you are bullied, which is right-but there needs to be communication to bullies themselves. Somebody is raising these kids that are out here abusing other children. Let me find out my child is a bully, they will receive the ass whooping of their life. Like how dare you use your time and energy to make somebody else's life hard? How dare you behave like you are so much better than someone who can't defend themselves?
Criminal law should be enforced in schools. Children are some of the most vulnerable people in our society, usually without the resources or voices to defend themselves, and should be protected as such.
I bet you they would have made a phone call to the mother if he was getting trouble at school but you can't pick up the phone to tell a mother that her child is being assaulted/ bullied? Wow, sickening.
As an educator I can tell you, THE SCHOOLS ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH. Bulling is such a serious problem. There are several reasons for this 1) Schools don't have enough resources/options to handle bullies 2) Parents are in complete denial about their children's delinquent behavior and will literally challenge anything you tell them. This leaves bullies to feel entitled and without repercussion. The Schools hands are then tied and teachers are forced to ignore some issues just to get through a lesson. It's sad and not right. The wellbeing of these students is upmost important. Give public Schools more options to handle bullies! Cut out all the legality bullshit and impose REAL consequences to deter the behavior.
Agreed. There are a lot of rotten kids who sometimes do things in front of their parents and go undisciplined. People are cranking out babies without any thought about how to raise them, end up working full time and leaving the schools to "babysit" their kids. Schools with limited resources are like mini-prisons.
Let me tell y'all what bullying is : Whether it is from social media , peers , or causing mental or physical harm.... it is trying to overpower a person and make them feel bad about themselves based on your insecurities!!! Why are we still having to talk about this in 2017 not even that but these bullying cases are no longer bullying they are now homicides , murders , and etc. this shouldn't even be happening to a 8 year old ! PERIOD
Myronn Coleman I hate bullying... poor kid. rip little boy 😢
Forreal! An elementary school aged child committing suicide... I’m just thinking, he was still a baby!! Like how does that even come to thought??! 😞
Remi Ma was made for this table, the producers need to stop playing around with us and just keep her
jennifer atlet I was thinking the same thing! She's really good
jennifer atlet she's boring with a capital B
velvetchoker are you supposed to be funny and entertaining when tackling serious subjects?
Eddy6159 im saying she's boring in general fatty
jennifer atlet your a hater with a capital H
I know commenters often talk about keeping persons on the show but Remy mannnn!!! That woman deserves a place at that table. She is so well informed and well spoken and she really hit home with her comments about bullying in schools. Even if y'all have her on once a week every month I wouldn't mind but it definitely is something to look into.
I know!!! I know that she gets talked about because of her jail time, but when she has a clear head, everybody better listen to her wisdom. She was calm, articulate, and had great points.
Jay 2.0 just because she spoke "well" on the subject doesnt mean she should be a host and be on there more often
+Alexis G well I mean ... that is what a host do
being well diverse in various topics not just one.
Alexis G I'm not talking about this clip alone luv. Based on other clips she has also had very meaningful things to say which I'm sure someone out there can identify with.
Bullying is serious. Bullying is real. And it's WRONG. Everyone take action and stand UP for your peers, friends, etc. no matter what.
Thank God for older siblings when it comes to bullying tho! I remember when I got bullied at 8 years old and my older brother stopped playing football to run over and you best believe he grabbed that little boy and lifted him clear off the ground😭 bearing in mind my brother was this skinny 11 year old. I was just watching with this smug look on my face like "Ain't God alright this morning? Hallelu"
Needless to say, there was a rumour we were in the mafia and I was practically untouchable for the rest of primary school😂😂😭
But honestly my heart goes out to those that are defenceless💔💔
Izy Mafia. lol 😂
"Ain't God alright this morning? Hallelu" LMAO
Man, the bullying in american schools is on a whole other level. These kids must be learning it from somewhere or have some issues going on within. Parents need to school their kids on being better people, it's time to take it seriously.
Girl, it's not just America :( It happens in Canada too. There are university suicides where the school also brushes it off to avoid responsibility :/
Sisi A plus in Japan and South Korea they have the highest rates for suicides. Nowadays bullying is happening everywhere way worst then it was back then it's sad what the new generation is like
It is very sad. Bullies don't get a kick from the fact that they've made someone cry, it comes down to a need for control. The power they feel is what gets them hooked on to it, we really need to teach kids how to channel those kinds of needs in a positive way because now we have EIGHT year olds committing suicide. He shouldnt even know how to do that, but this mess had driven him to it. Society needs to fix up ASAP
Sisi A I live in Switzerland, and unfortunately it happens here too :(
Very sad indeed, if I ever have kids, i would truly make it a priority to teach them self love and self defence to protect themselves from issues like this.
When I was in second grade there was this girl that would always punch me and pinch me for no reason. At that time, I did told my mother that this girl was hurting me and am glad I did, because after I told my mother, she told the teacher who talked to the girl and she no longer touched me again. I'm proud of myself for doing the right thing, even though at the time I was scared.
When I was 7/8 I moved from London to a little village in Ireland. I was the only black girl in the whole school and I got bullied for my accent and skin colour. At the time I didn't understand the concept of race so I couldn't understand why people would wipe themselves after touching me or why people said I talked funny. smh
I told my mum after some time and she told the school. The bullying stopped immediately but it already had lasting effects on how I viewed myself and my culture.
I had very negative ideas of my dark skin and I spent the next 6 years wondering why I wasn't born white. I remember I would think I was innately superior to white people and I didn't realise this at the time, but it was ingrained in my subconcious.
I didn't begin to understand that there is nothing inferior about being black untill I moved to a new school where I met other young people who looked like me. By this time I had already forced myself to adopt the Irish accent.
But when I was 16 I moved back to London, I decided to drop my pretend accent and actually speak without thinking of how I wanted to sound. The mixture of my accents resulted in an American sounding accent (my mum likes to call it International).
I always wonder what I would sound like if I was never pressured to assimilate. Would I have an accent that actually ties to my heritage culture and upbringing rather than the ambiguous one I have now?
yea your beautiful they were just jealous
God bless Gabriel 👼🏻🙏🏽
I always didn't like the whole "snitch" or "whistle-blower" mentality that society has.
The school district that I grew up in was absolutely disgusting when it came to handling bullying. My younger brother has been bullied since about 3rd grade, he's going into his senior year soon. The amount of times my parents or myself have gotten involved with the administration at the schools he's attended throughout the school district growing up about the bullying he has been dealing with and how the administration has not done anything about it makes my blood boil. Thankfully he has gained strong skin and is able to push through it, even though he shouldn't have to do that in the first place. I am so proud of my younger brother though, because he is now graduating high school early and will be starting college sooner than anyone else in his school...and will be getting away from the terrible "administration" our school districts calls themselves!
I'm crying so much right now, he didn't even deserve it. I'm 16 years and after I saw this I was just surprised of how brute a bully can be, I'll will never let my child ever have that experience or even bully another kid
I'm embarrassed to be human😩😭😭😭 Wait till I have kids, I'll educated my children to tell me EVERYTHING...This is crazy coz last night my baby cousin in 7th grade called me, she is now attending the highschool I went to 3yrs ago and asked if I had some friends who is still attending that school and I told her no we're all grown and left HS already without knowing she was being bullied so she asked if I had friends from there which she could have some support from😩😩 (my mum told me after) Those kids are lucky I'm in Australia so far away, if not! only God knows what will happen..😑😑
Darkskin princess Same here. If I have future children, I would want them to speak up and tell me what happened.
Exactly!!! I'll tell them even if it's good or bad we'll fix things together and make it work!! I can never lose a child over bullying, it hurts way more worse than dying over a disease😩
He was unconscious for five minutes and was apparently overlooked by the school staff. When he went home he vomited(signs of a concussion), he went to the doctors and they claimed he had a stomach virus. When he got home is when he killed himself. I believe he had a major concussion and should have been monitored better at the hospital. Because of the brain injury, some neurons got crossed, and caused him to kill himself. Everyone dropped the ball here, the school, and the hospital he was taken too.
The school staff should be mad but to avoid lawsuits they ignore it. If it was the principal's kid who was bullied...oh boy. Action would take place immediatley.
Honestly, the worst thing isn't having a child who's being bullied; the worst thing is raising someone who bullies other people. Parents are too busy telling their kids how special they are and not enough time teaching them how treat other people. It's not enough for a child to know how to stand up for themselves; children need to know how not to treat their peers.
Tatenda Madondo home training your kids yessss
It honestly breaks my heart to think that a child so young is even capable to understand the concept of suicide. What are we doing as a society to allow our children to have thoughts like this? I was bullied at that age and suicide never crossed my mind because I didn't even know it was a thing! I feel so bad for this boy because it's clear he went through or witnessed something in his short life in order to even understand what suicide actually is. That poor baby.
I think it may have to do with the fact that children have so much access to ANY and EVERY thing on the internet now a days. There's literally a challenge trending amongst young kids that started in Russia that ends up with the children killing themselves in most cases. We live in a society where there are no longer boundaries and having any ounce of morality, priorities, organization, empathy/ compassion and goals is frowned down upon.
There are so many children with massive amounts of pain in their hearts more than anyone could imagine nowadays because technology and the web has taken over basic communication. We need natural authentic communication to remain humane and sane. I think a massive part of that is not being embedded and integrated in young children anymore and most feel alone, bullies and victims.
NANA that is so true. You really hit the nail on the head there. Technology is great for so many things but it's really exposing our children to things we've never even heard about. So sad
Alexandria Nichole Its a bitter sweet thing for mankind unfortunately.
God no. This is so heartbreaking
Parents and schools have to teach their kids to stand up for themselves with violence used only to defend themselves.
That could back fire tho cause if the person fights back someone can call an older family member and that might just escalate to more violence
omg look at that sweet kid if it was my child i would be mad as hell that school need to be sued left right and centre
Honestly , making bullying illegal would help a lot.
I blame the school for not saying anything to the mom . 😓😭😭
I get bullied everyday my teacher just found out today and I hate it
Brazil Jones aww i am so sorry to hear that keep strong 😊
Angel Wight thank you I'm only in the 5th grade
Brazil Jones you are most welcome and you don't deserve to be treated like that just keep strong don't let nobody tell you anything different and you will be okay
I'm really sorry! Stay strong love ❤ like ^ she said..I'm also here if you want to talk.
Be strong boo. Never let them get the best of you cause that's honestly what they're trying to do. Know that you're better than them because you don't need to pick on someone else to make yourself feel better. Im here if you an ear to listen boo 😘😘
But yet they use the cameras to see us skipping class
This is so heartbreaking I can't even listen 😔😔😔
my heart broke hearing this. R.I.P. No one deserves to be treated so horribly! please teach your children how to treat others respectfully!! its unfortunate that bullying happens so often.
this is so sad RIP baby boy you are in a better place now 😥 I wish this didn't happen and hope something like this never happens ever again
My mom always motivated me and gave me the confidence to talk to her about deep things, she always work on my self-esteem and how to love me and defend myself... I am Dominican with cinnamon skin with curly hair. There were children who tried to make me feel bad or less about myself but their words never crossed my skin, thanks the way my mother raised me. When she saw the signs of what could be a bulling start for a "little girl" (I was like 7-8), she gave me an incredible talk and together with my father bought me two dresses that highlighted my color and a necklace of many colors... I was the bomb in my neighborhood.
I still remember how my mom stood me in front of the mirror, and said to my reflection "Look at that color so beautiful, it's like milk chocolate... I wish I had that color, those thighs, that butt... wow and those killer smiles you have, your eyes are so beautiful that make me smile when I see them... never think that you are not beautiful. Many people will say ugly things either because of envy or they are not happy, do not worry about those people... people will always talk for good or bad... start worrying when they stop talking about you." That always stayed with me, I never hesitate for a second the love she feels for me. I love you mami and thanks to you I am who I am today.
I was waiting for Tam to cry. She is soooooo genuine and beautiful. I started crying when she said, "I am sick and tired of hearing about stuff like this"
This story just breaks my heart 😔 that poor little kid. God will deal with the ones that did this to him. Karma is REAL (No pun intended)
My heart breaks for what this little boy went through and I can't even begin to imagine the pain and heart ache his mother feels. I have a 7 year old little boy and he's my world..if he had done this my world would come crashing down. I pray for this little boys mother. You fly high sweetheart. You the brightest Angel in Heaven💔
Usually teachers ignore all types of bully cases. When they do get involved they punish both victim and bully saying "it takes two to tango"
I was bullied for two years in middle school and I never told my mom. I think part of the reason why is because, at the time, I wasn't aware that I was being bullied. I thought that the kids were just being mean to me because they didn't like me and that they didn't like me because I wasn't a likable person. Looking back at it now, I can see it for what it was.
Same
What hurts me the most is that schools care about their reputation more than a kids life.
Poor baby . My heart and prayers go out to his family . I shed a tear watching this because As a new mom, I hope & pray my son does not have to experience bullies..
PREACH REMY!!!!!! YASSSSS I love what she said
Schools need to get their priorities straight. Im in Australia and my school cared more about what we were wearing, like tights instead of normal black pants, rather than the fact that girls were cutting their wrists in class in front of teachers. My school was a zero tollerence zone and yet it took me getting an avo (like a restraining order) against a class mate before they would transfer him into a different elective class even though they could have done it with a simple signature from the principal but instead I had to go to court for them to do anything. Better policies and practices need to be put in place to protect our youths. My heart goes out to the family of the young boy. No child should ever take their own life much less a child who has barely had a chance to experience the world in any capacity 💔💔
All I have to sayyyy is yesssss Remy! She is bringing the REAL to the Real literally
That poor beautiful boy. Look at that smile 😢😢 I hope those kids get what's coming to them. Pure evil.
Love everything Remy said!! She spoked nothing but the truth.
Remy Ma gave the PERFECT response.... Well said.
I was bullied from grade 6 till my sophomore year of school. It was a group of "popular" kids who felt like it was funny just to bring others down that they didn't feel were rich or beautiful. I remember one incident where one of the girls that my brother dated in my grade decided to get revenge for my brother breaking up with her. Their words were so hateful that I always came home in tears. I did speak up at home after my brother noticed something was wrong. He tried to stand up to them for me but it made matters worse to the point where they wanted me to kill myself. Thankfully my mother decided to move my brothers and I to another city and the bullying stopped. Ever since then, my self-esteem has been so low that I don't feel beautiful enough or good enough to be around other people. I am thankful I have people around me that help me see how special I am and how worthy I am to get love. I also married a wonderful man that notices the minute I feel down and then tries to bring me back up.
That’s heartbreaking 💔💔look at how innocent and beautiful that boy is💔 he is in a better place ❤️💕REST IN HEAVEN
I'm so thankful that these discussions are being had. Not just about bullying, but now about the ugly reality of schools being guilty for trying to avoid "liability" and losing their humanity and consciousness of a suicide having occurred, so they don't have to go through any trouble. It's so sick to me how innocent and inaudible that child is, I hope there is justice for Gabriel and anyone else that has been in this situation.
Remy would be a perfect addition to the crew
Bullying is natural. It will not go away but it can be prevented in some cases and punished. That being said, assault does need to be classified as assault. It undermines the full extent of what was done when you call it something less. Kids who bully need punishments from the school and their parents. Kids who commit assault need to be in juvie. Notice how they didn't say anything about what happened to the kids who hurt that poor boy.
Bullying happens all over the world. I'm from Nairobi, Kenya and I was bullied in high school and to make it worse, it was a boarding school. It was the worst experience of my life and to this day, almost 10yrs later, i haven't gotten over it. I ran away from school when my life was threatened and i refused to go back. Every time i think about how other students can get mean, it pains my heart. It's sad that this happens.
This is so sad, an 8 year old , his whole life ahead of him. Smh I'm going to hug the hell out of my kids when they get home from school today. Tell them how much I love them and share this little boys story with them. Every parent should share this story with their children,as a means of prevention, opening up the communication lines with them, and just to remember the life that was lost. My thoughts & prayers will be on this family. God help them cope.
Get real people...bullying will never stop! But there are solutions out there to prevent it though.
Pray to Jesus and ask him to give you spiritual strength and mental strength and also ask him to stop the bullying.
This broke my heart smh
Shows like 13 reasons why really opened my heart and mind about not only suicide but also how some kids feel alone and kids at elementary, middle and high school go through a lot. We need to come together as people not push each other away. My heart goes out to his family and friends and a 8 year old RIP 🙏🏽
It breaks my heart to hear about this. God bless that little boys family and may he rest in peace. 🙏
Bullying need to stop man like these kids need to respect people's feelings even if it doesn't mean anything to you it could be meaning everything to them 🤦🏽♀️
Honestly I have to question what was going on at the house for an eight year old to kill himself. No really.
gmcmim1 that's my question whenever body else are talking about the bullies why didn't you stand up for yourself what's happening in your house that makes you not feel like you could talk to your mother about what's going on especially after you were put in the hospital he looks well put together you got the physical part right but did you forget to teach your child emotional and mentally to stand up for himself how to react in certain situations why would he feel so uncomfortable to not talk to his mom but allow a stranger to beat him up and put him in the hospital are you serious right now
What Remy Ma said was absolutely true, the schools do not have the Manpower to monitor everything especially when it depends on the county you live in and how much money there is for the school. With my boys it was the opposite, I told my boys to treat everyone the way you want to be treated and to always stand up for yourself and for those that can't stand up for themselves, the end result to this little story is my boys got suspended about 6 or 7 times because they stood up for those that couldn't stand up for themselves. They were suspended for one day every single time because they got into a fight but only suspended for one day because they fought for those that couldn't fight. This breaks my heart because sometimes these kids feel like they don't have any one to speak to and this is the main reason why I volunteer three times a week at my kids old school, my kids are adults now and are in college, when they come out of college and into the working force they vow to also volunteer a couple days a week, even for a couple of hours because sometimes the school don't have the Manpower I'm not talking about this school that lie to the mother I'm talking about most schools especially the ones in a low-income area, we can all do something , just a little something
Bullying is a really ugly thing. This was a touching segment and it brought back memories of my own personal experiences. I think it's important that we teach and educate our children on how to deal with these situations and be actively engaged with the school policies, systems in place. Where you send you child to school is very crucial. Along with the type of children that go there. It's quite difficult for a parent to keep tabs on everything that occurs whilst their child is at school. Poor kid. Sorry for his parents. May he rest in power.
Yes, REMY MA!
Adrienne that blouse got me like😅😅😂
I just finished watching 13 reasons why on Netflix, and hearing something like this is just something i cant swallow.
I'm really proud of Tamera for staying strong during this segment. It was clear how much this affected her. If I were a mother I'd be bawling too hard to read the promoter.
Remi is beautiful 😍
Ughhh, this is sad. CZcams comments bullying is real too 👀 stop it
Buuuut What's up with Adrienne and Israel's shirts lately. Siss🤔
Delete this delete this delete this delete this delete this delete this delete this 💀💀💀💀
swaggpro17 why are you triggered tho 🤔😂😂😂
Straight....to...hell!! 💀💀💀💀
Kennethab13 Some people in the comments aren't bullying in my opinion. It's just that we watch the show almost everyday so certain conclusions can be made from what is said or how a person acts. Something that people do to friends, family etc. But some of the comments can be nasty Lol
tea
This aches my soul ... My whole soul... I was suicidal at 8 as well.. A lot of trauma that time in my life... Poor boy... God bless His soul....
This brought me to tears and hit home way too close. My first born is called Gabriel and he's 8. Even though I live in the U.K. It shows how much of a global issue this is. Shame on the school. That is disgusting. I feel for the family.
OMG how can a 8 years old commit suicide😳😳😳😳.. Mercy Lord 🙏🙏
I was bullied in 7th grade for 2days. A sharpened #2 pencil ended that immediately.
segil123 lol that's right
segil123 should I be concerned 💀
I'm glad they talked about this because I know how it feels to be bullied and its painful. I will also say for the school not to call the parents/ guardian of the child that is being bullied is beyond messed up especially when they knew about it and didnt fix the issue. I hate schools that don't take the time to care for the students when they are being bullied especially when a bullied student already told a teacher and/ or the principal. Bullying truly has to stop.💯💯
Remy said the most logical, REAL thing on the panel.
What the hell is wrong with these parents? Like do you think this crap is okay? Don't have kids if you can't handle them because other people actually love their children and want their child's wellbeing
some of u in the comments are bullies and frequent offenders at that. it all countsm what a heartbreaking story. prayers for this fam
This really hits hard. I had to relocate my daughter an hour away for her to feel safe. I thank God everyday for providing me the help of my aunt to make it possible. Being low income it’s sometimes not an option but He has seen us through thus far and I am happy to say my baby has been thriving and growing into such a beautiful young lady 🙌🏽
I PRAY That These KIDS Get What They Deserve. These KIDS KNOWS exactly what they are doing.
I understand he was bullied but most kids dont kill themselves due to being bullied. Something deeper here.
gmcmim1 but SOME of them actually do commit suicide because of bullying 🙄
He's one of those "some" people
Is Adrienne wearing Israel's clothes?
Lisbeth Romero I think so! So ill-fitting.
Seriously that’s what you got from this video
How sad
This breaks my heart. I'm so sorry that this happened to him. And that he had no one to trust enough to tell his feelings to. I know what that feels like. #tears Mother's, father's just family period it's so important to talk to your children everyday. #questions #support #love
Bullying is such an important topic that needs to be taken more serious. Im sick of hearing things like "-they're just being kids" or "it wasn't that serious" etc. Believe me it's that SERIOUS! My heart goes out to that young boy and hes beloved ones
Talking about bullying while Remy is at the table? And the cohosts were JUST praising Shether? Pick a side!!!
TheStarLaura umm she wasn't physically harming someone who ended up committing suicide... that was a rap battle there's a difference
TheStarLaura stop it. That's the epitome of false equivalency. Stop deflecting, you can like Nicki and Remy.
Bullying is BULLYING. Stop picking and choosing!
TheStarLaura Oh goodness, battle rap is not bullying. I don't want to assume anything but you either don't understand battle rap culture or you are younger than 24. Either way this situation and battle rap aren't the same. Also Nicki is not an innocent child, she is rich based on completely copying other 90's rapper and is known as a female rapper who slept her way to the top while blocking other female rappers.
Red Delphino I understand battle rap culture. Remy calls herself a bully, why are you going out of your way to defend her? And because Nicki is rich, she deserves to get bullied? How does that sound??? And the ONLY thing Nicki copied from Lil Kim is the colored wigs, which she doesn't even wear anymore. Nicki surpassed Lil' Kim, and is the highest selling female rapper of all time. These are facts, not fake opinions like that one about her sleeping her way to the top. You must have her confused with Lil Kim.
Remy ma, talking about bullying when the only reason she's relevant now is because of her trying to bully Nicki Minaj haha 😂
saying "it starts at home" when shes a public bully... ridiculous.
Seriously how did she bully Nicki when Remy was just responding to a bully?
Rudy Abdul Nicki ain't no bully 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
As someone who was bullied because of my epilepsy and then antagonize from certain family members making me feel like it was my fault then bullied in the veterinary field as the only male working with females as a licensed veterinary technician. I understand and took many years to forgive.
Tamera I feel your pain girl. You have a beautiful heart. You can tell that Tam was really hurt by this and she really tried to hold back her tears. My condolences to the family of the baby boy
y'all... this is probably the 10th times in this season they talk about bullying. I get it's news too but its like they choose to only talk about the less polarizing news topics...that is why i prefer the View sometimes...
jeanne violette I like them cause I don't want to hear the same story on 4 different shows
swaggpro17 me neither. I never complain about the repetition like some other viewers. But when i saw the title I cringed and when i heard the content and notice it was still the same angle of " bullying is bad, look what happen again " I flipped my laptop lol
jeanne violette because bullying is at it's all time high now! who complains about preventing bullying?
Tan T you didnt get my point, which was they brought that subject way more often only to have the same angle on it. Its always facts then storytelling by one of the girls. At this point they could bring some expert to make awareness or do a segment on it besides the girl talks.
jeanne violette It's good to keep talking about it and reminding everyone how serious this issue is until it's not an issue anymore.
An 8 year old should never commit suicide. How horrible? It’s so sad that this little boy who was so young felt that that was his only choice. It’s heart breaking
My mom lost a child, its the worst feeling in this world. I pray the parents of this little boy got some kind of justice. I pray the lord wil lift this burden...god bless them
Thank you Remy for speaking the truth!
