One time a boy in my class touched a girl’s bra strap repeatedly after she told him to stop. She punched him and was suspended for three weeks. Coincidentally, the day she came back, the nurse gave all of the girls how to “cover up” so we wouldn’t be distracting. It still pisses me off to think about. That’s one of the reasons this is my favorite song from K-12
This song honestly has such a good meaning. Women aren’t to blame. My fave line is “instead of making me feel bad for the body I got, just tell him to keep it in his pants and tell him to stop” . So powerful.
Don't you know? It's always a girl's fault cause how else are they gonna explain disgusting behavior? How dare a girl show her shoulders or knees in public!
Low-key, this is the most relatable song in her album for me. I've always been self conscious of my body and wondered why I wasn't as beautiful as the other girls in my classes
same I’m fifteen, but look like a twelve year old. Everyone in my family looks younger then they actually are. My dad is forty, but looks like he’s ten years younger. People treat me like a ten year old; I don’t want to be taken lightly. I may look young, but I’m older than you think.
Mel is is the only artist, who has never (to our knowledge) been sexually abused or assaulted and gets the emotions spot on. The blame on yourself, convincing yourself that they're not wrong you are, and the constant thought that you need to look the best for these people that don't deserve you. But also that dressing a certain way wint get you cat called or anything. "I dont make sure my legs are shiny" she doesnt care for apperance or the phrase "put icing ontop" she just wore an outfit but guys will say, you wore that and didnt expect this that and the other. She just gets it spot on and to see people who have never been either cat called, rubbed up on, sent nudes by people you thought you trusted or emotionally and sexually abused by people you thought were close friends go after her because she's highlighting the problem and taking away the voices of these girls and boys who have had this happen to them. They're taking my voice away and making it seem like melanie is using my issue for clout when in actuality mel never cared for fame, she just wanted her music to be heard.

istg people just have no respect- Like it wasn't your fault AT ALL and its the boy's fault. The fact that people (particually girls) are told and taught to cover up so they dont get ASSAULTED is so creepy- stop teaching your daughters to cover up and rather teach your sons to CONTROL themselves. Like damn.
unrelated but once i made a cake i was like YESS no one wants it then i put icing on it then everyone was like OO CAN I HAVE SOME so really it is my fault cus i put icing on top
I love how you choose a gif that actually looks like it's a loop, the transition is basically perfectly cut and it makes it smooth and soft matching the song perfectly ❤️❤️❤️
i can relate to this a lot because i was really self conscious of my body. I got bullied for my acne, was the reason someone physically got hurt, 'annoying' , obese, spotty rat. I just couldn't have a normal conversation with a boy without getting judged. Every boy was against me, no matter what i did i would still get judged and told that im fat and that im a spotty rat. I got beat up because i was trying to move a chair and a guy tried to snatch it from me and then his friend came over and started kicking my shins repeatedly until i let go of the chair. All of this went on for a long time and have lead me to having depression, suicidal thoughts and i even started to self harm. The scars give me memories of what happened, when i look at them i think of them as what has been said to me but on skin although they're just cuts and scratches. I still have really low self esteem but then i try to drown those thoughts out with something positive.
@@ilovemusicssooomuch283 They dont work for everyone but they did make me a bit more confident, even if they dont change you , you get to feel better about yourself like in my case. So, yeah :)
My school always talks about rape each year and the teachers always say "girls make sure to cover up, don't go out alone, make sure to wear appropriate clothing." Hmm no. How about saying "hey men, don't rape" ? Woman should be able to wear whatever they want and be able to go out alone without feeling like a man is going to do messed up shit

One time I watched K-12 with my male friend and when this song came up he kept on making fun of melanies costume when shes on the cake. He didnt pay attention to the song just how melanies costume was designed. This song is a medafore for boys being perverts and about how women are treated like toys (im not friends with this dude for separate reasons)
this song is so powerful. Instead of giving girls dress codes, they should give classes to boys about how to control themselves. It’s really not that hard.
This song honestly reminds me of how I feel about how I look. I am very insecure about my stomach. I've always wanted the "perfect" body. And when I opened up to people they won't care. I just wanna be like others. But this songs helps because i am not the only one struggling.
Its been a bit since this came out, and I'm still here listening to it for comfort. This song has given more comfort than any person has been able to give, I was 6 years old when I was sexually assaulted, over the years comments and stares from Men haven't stopped. So when this song came out, it helped me come to terms and just helped overall.

One time I brought a sticker against sexual abuse at school and put it on by bag. The next day I didn’t go. I was scared because they made fun of me and the teachers told me to take it off because it was “unacceptable”. I thought it was important to say that we aren’t sex toys, but my friends told me to think of something more “fun” instead of sexual assault. Our society sucks.
wOw, NiCe. So let me tell you a little story about my life: So, Recently ive been feeling male.. Even though im a female, All the other girls in my school are showoffs and ya know, Have good bodies. Where me, I just look.. i dont know.. So i might just be male, Its better for me. But i ont know how to tell my parents
tell them in a matter that shows you really do want them to accept you and hope that they still love you. your parents will hopefully accept you for it, so whatever happens let us all know!

I remember before I transitioned a bunch of boys would always tease me about seeing my bra strap and asking me "are you on your period??" And laugh. They would keep touching me and all I could do is run because when I told a teacher she said, "its distracting." For the rest of my 3rd grade year I put up with harassment like this until I finally started fighting back. Now I'm a freshman in highschool and no one dares to touch me like that anymore :)
STORY TIME: one time in 6th grade there was this guy who would pull on girls bra straps one of those girls were me. Me and another one of the girls he did this too,told the teacher so instead of pulling this kid aside and telling him to stop want he was doing they told us that WE had to were strapless bras...I hated that school.
fifth grade a boy grabbed my butt and i didn’t say anything because i was in shock, days later he did it again and it bothers me that i never said anything, i struggle with speaking up and talking i have bad social anxiety so it’s just hard to speak up.
i finally watched K-12 because I only just listen to the song/album and watching the Strawberry Shortcake scene has so much meaning, really makes you think. It’s not fair women have to do things differently because some men can’t think properly
This hits a little close for me, as a plus sized girl, I have ALWAYS been bullied for my weight, and never was allowed to have confidence, I found God and got saved and reading the Bible I found we're all made very very unique and wonderfully. Please, no matter what, God believes ur beautiful. He made ya❤who cares about these boys
I do be wanting to wear dresses all the time but I don’t have the confidence for that and I wore a dress to school once and It wasn’t received positively :(
Melanie was right tho We get it we may wear skin showing dress thats our fault...but no one tought them not to grab/touch 💁 we need some privacy. dont take advantage instead of protecting
Yeah, pervs just don't respect women and our boundaries. It honestly doesn't even matter what we wear we will still be objectified and sexualized and its honestly disgusting. I just wanna be treated like a fellow human being, not an object.
Damn, when I first heard the snippet for this song I thought it would be boring and something I wouldn't listen too. Now, I got this song on repeat thinking of all my past mistakes...Yikes. Great slowed audio tho!😁😊✌❤
For the people who doesn’t understand the meaning of the song “Strawberry Shortcake” it’s about a girl who is uncomfortable because she wants to wear anything she wants without getting hit on by boys and feels insecure from a very young age about boys and how she wants to “look like barbie” but doesn’t want to be badly used for her body. Hope that helped! :D Check out in the reply section for a better understanding.x
I really feel with this song, since I had an experience like what Melanie talks about here. Here's the story. I was in advanced math in fifth grade, meaning I was doing 6th grade math without ever learning 5th grade math. My math class was my last hour before Advisory, which is basically a time to do homework, and sometimes my Advisory would go outside. So, I was running late for Advisory, and was packing up in the math room. We have small cushions (which the teachers called "tushy-cushies") in a basket for the people that sit on the floor to be more comfortable sitting there. This boy in the Advisory in the Math room grabbed a cushion since he sat on floor, and before putting it on the ground and sitting on it, he proceeded to stare at my @ss for a second or two without me noticing, then he slapped my @ss with the cushion twice. Thankfully, I did tell the teacher about it since it felt like/was s3xual @ssault and that is not acceptable AT ALL. She did talk to the boy and write him up, and he got suspended for about a week. I sometimes wonder if he would've done it again if I never told the teacher. Thanks for reading my story! Have a cookie :) 🍪 - FUN FACT: When you put this video on loop, the GIF starts at the very start, fully looping the video.
My dad pointed out that a lot of my body hair wasnt shaved and im supposed to shave everywhere on my body because im female. I relate to the "got to make sure that my legs are shining" part.

its sad that teenage guys or girls, in general, can feel this or even guys why is feeling it's your fault now a normal thing, it isn't your beautiful the way you are the beautiful standards are annoying but know you're unique and gorgeous in your own way 😎
please who ever reads this stop scrolling and read the things i have to say to you.. people will always have the urge to be perfect and better then they already are but no hunny you are literally just perfect the way you are. stop changing for the others satisfaction, they will never get satisfied if they weren’t in the first place. this if your life , it’s not a tv show or a commercial where everything has to be “perfect” , you have to be happy with the actions you make even if they’re not perfect to others. i love you please stop thinking you’re not perfect , you are already perfect the way you are. have a nice day
i once got touched by one of my classmates and got the courage to tell my teacher,, i told it to her but didnt do anything about it.. and after i told to her again cause i thought she didnt hear it she just told me to go back to my chair,, once it happened to me again on 6th grade i didnt tell anybody anymore cause i was so scared i'd get ignored again,, and just cried in my room. i didnt tell my parents or my siblings cause im not that open to them when it comes to problems cause i feel like a burden. and i cried cause that guy followed me home and litirally touched me in the middle of the streets some people walked by but didnt do anything. i just poured water on them until they let go of my bag and ran away holding it on my hand cause i cant run fast if im wearing it. tbh Melanie's songs are relatable irl

women aren't objects..just because we are built differently doesn't mean you interact with it without consent. and because we hurt someone doesn't mean it's our fault. a girl shot a man who raped her and was blamed for it. It's called self-defense. my aunt punched her ex-boyfriend for trying to force her she got yelled at. *We aren't here for your needs.*
don't know why our shoulders are "distracting" like again it ain't or fault its the perverts in our school so instead of teaching us how to "cover up" you should teach them how to respect women for their bodies and what they wear.

I just couldn't have a normal conversation with a boy without getting judged. Every boy was against me, no matter what i did i would still get judged and told that im fat and that im a spotty rat. I got beat up because i was trying to move a chair and a guy tried to snatch it from me and then his friend came over and started kicking my shins repeatedly until i let go of the chair. All of this went on for a long time and have lead me to having depression, suicidal thoughts and i even started to self harm. The scars give me memories of what happened, when i look at them i think of them as what has been said to me but on skin although they're just cuts and scratches. I still have really low self esteem but then i try to drown those thoughts out with something positive.
I'm sorry to hear that you should use subliminals they helped me
I am so sorry that happened to you. people are horrible :(
@@ilovemusicssooomuch283 They dont work for everyone but they did make me a bit more confident, even if they dont change you , you get to feel better about yourself like in my case. So, yeah :)
Advice: always carry pepper spray
And this is why I lean towards liking girls
My school always talks about rape each year and the teachers always say "girls make sure to cover up, don't go out alone, make sure to wear appropriate clothing."
Hmm no. How about saying "hey men, don't rape" ?
Woman should be able to wear whatever they want and be able to go out alone without feeling like a man is going to do messed up shit
lyrics hehe:
feeling unsure of my naked body.
stand back watch it taking shape.
wondering why I dont look like barbie.
they say boys like girls with a tiny waist.
now my momma's preaching to make sure I'm pure
but I never really cared about that shit before.
look around the room to whoever wants me
got boys acting like they ain't seen skin before.
got sent home to change cuz my skirt is too short.
it's my fault, it's my fault
cuz I put icing on top
now the boys want a taste of this strawberry shortcake
that's my bad, that's my bad
no one taught them not to grab
now the boys want a taste of this strawberry shortcake.
gotta make sure that my legs are shiny.
hot wax melting, burn my skin.
people all around me are watching closely
cuz it's how I look and not what I think.
mikey's eyes seem to be glued to her chest
so I'm stuffing my bra so that mine look the best
it's my fault, it's my fault
that I put icing on top
now the boys want a taste of this strawberry shortcake
that's my bad, that's my bad
no one taught them not to grab
now the boys want a taste of this strawberry shortcake
instead of making me feel bad for the body I got,
just teach him to keep it in his pants and tell him to stop.
saying it's my fault, it's my fault
cuz I put icing on top
now the boys want a taste of this strawberry shortcake.
that's my bad, that's my bad

shelbee our hero
Everyone hail to our savior
There u are lmao tysm
bold of u to assume us crybabies dont know the lyrics but ok
This song is kinda true for me.. everytime i walk on the streets there are boys calling me a “slut” or “hoe” and i never know why-
Ugh, I just cannot even write what I felt when I read this comment into physical words. Honestly, what's wrong with men sometimes?
One time I watched K-12 with my male friend and when this song came up he kept on making fun of melanies costume when shes on the cake.
He didnt pay attention to the song just how melanies costume was designed.
This song is a medafore for boys being perverts and about how women are treated like toys (im not friends with this dude for separate reasons)
I- Wow. Thats disgusting, and pretty much proves the point of the song.
@@peiithos i know the dude also wasnt my friend anymore cause he says im to obsessed with anime,while I barley talked abt it

this song is so powerful. Instead of giving girls dress codes, they should give classes to boys about how to control themselves. It’s really not that hard.

This song honestly reminds me of how I feel about how I look. I am very insecure about my stomach. I've always wanted the "perfect" body. And when I opened up to people they won't care. I just wanna be like others. But this songs helps because i am not the only one struggling.
“It’s how I look and not what I think” I think most girls can relate😔🤧
"Boys acting like they aint seen skin before" EEEEE i wanna cry listening to this ;-;
Its been a bit since this came out, and I'm still here listening to it for comfort. This song has given more comfort than any person has been able to give, I was 6 years old when I was sexually assaulted, over the years comments and stares from Men haven't stopped. So when this song came out, it helped me come to terms and just helped overall.
first hearing strawberry shortcake: 🥳🤩
now, knowing the lyrics: 😔🥺
still a fucking bop tho

@Lil Nugget idk if it will work but here is it
hi todoroki
OUR SAIVOR, THANK YOU!
i think this voice is a good one for the female character i have in mind. i want her voice to be deep but also pretty.
One time I brought a sticker against sexual abuse at school and put it on by bag. The next day I didn’t go. I was scared because they made fun of me and the teachers told me to take it off because it was “unacceptable”. I thought it was important to say that we aren’t sex toys, but my friends told me to think of something more “fun” instead of sexual assault. Our society sucks.
wOw, NiCe. So let me tell you a little story about my life: So, Recently ive been feeling male.. Even though im a female, All the other girls in my school are showoffs and ya know, Have good bodies. Where me, I just look.. i dont know.. So i might just be male, Its better for me. But i ont know how to tell my parents
Do whatever makes you happy. I’m sure your parents will understand if they don’t you always have your friends. You are never alone.
I feel like that too, you're not alone
@@onceabibimpap8296 yay c:
tell them in a matter that shows you really do want them to accept you and hope that they still love you. your parents will hopefully accept you for it, so whatever happens let us all know!
@@laurac.405 bro shaddup, if they're trans, they're trans, that's fine. People have different ways to say they are trans and the op sounds trans
do you think you could do teachers pet?
yes this would. be a MIRACLE
Yesss, teacher's pet is my favorite song on the album
Omg yes teachers pet is my favorite
yesss i love teachers pet
search it up on youtube it doesn’t have to be on this account 😑

I remember before I transitioned a bunch of boys would always tease me about seeing my bra strap and asking me "are you on your period??" And laugh. They would keep touching me and all I could do is run because when I told a teacher she said, "its distracting." For the rest of my 3rd grade year I put up with harassment like this until I finally started fighting back. Now I'm a freshman in highschool and no one dares to touch me like that anymore :)
STORY TIME: one time in 6th grade there was this guy who would pull on girls bra straps one of those girls were me. Me and another one of the girls he did this too,told the teacher so instead of pulling this kid aside and telling him to stop want he was doing they told us that WE had to were strapless bras...I hated that school.
She made 121 spins :>
Sorry if I'm wrong .^.
U r literally a god
@@sercezopium thank you.^.
That dress is pretty!!!
ikr?!
ikr!! (goals.)
okay so we have to cover up because they cant keep it in their pants-
this song is the best btw

You gotta do orange juice !! 😉
Cat Food I thought you said orange justice for a second so I was about to start screaming 🤣🤣🤣
fifth grade a boy grabbed my butt and i didn’t say anything because i was in shock, days later he did it again and it bothers me that i never said anything, i struggle with speaking up and talking i have bad social anxiety so it’s just hard to speak up.
i believe you. you are valid
now the boys want a taste of the _strawberry shortcake_
...Sayonara- ;-; IM SORRY---
That’s my bad, that’s my bad, no one told them not to grab
I want you to make Detention
Yeess
Beautiful profile pic.

Are my favorite lyric
Same :D
i finally watched K-12 because I only just listen to the song/album and watching the Strawberry Shortcake scene has so much meaning, really makes you think. It’s not fair women have to do things differently because some men can’t think properly
This hits a little close for me, as a plus sized girl, I have ALWAYS been bullied for my weight, and never was allowed to have confidence, I found God and got saved and reading the Bible I found we're all made very very unique and wonderfully. Please, no matter what, God believes ur beautiful. He made ya❤who cares about these boys
I do be wanting to wear dresses all the time but I don’t have the confidence for that and I wore a dress to school once and It wasn’t received positively :(
Dont let others tell you what to wear! Its your body, not theirs! I bet you look AMAZING in a dress.
Girl, you probably SLAYYYED that runway. no no YOU DID!
Melanie was right tho
We get it we may wear skin showing dress thats our fault...but no one tought them not to grab/touch 💁 we need some privacy. dont take advantage instead of protecting
i always wear jeans and and a oversized hoddie and yet can still be a victim of a pervert :/
ya boi tangerine UwU Exactly, this proves that it’s not our fault and how we dress, it’s the fact that pervs should learn to respect us.
Yeah, pervs just don't respect women and our boundaries. It honestly doesn't even matter what we wear we will still be objectified and sexualized and its honestly disgusting. I just wanna be treated like a fellow human being, not an object.
Damn, when I first heard the snippet for this song I thought it would be boring and something I wouldn't listen too. Now, I got this song on repeat thinking of all my past mistakes...Yikes. Great slowed audio tho!😁😊✌❤
This song is so under-rated in my opinion.
I swaer so many people can relate - this masterpiece isn't getting the recognition it deserves.💗
Legend has it, she is still spinning around to this day.
For the people who doesn’t understand the meaning of the song “Strawberry Shortcake” it’s about a girl who is uncomfortable because she wants to wear anything she wants without getting hit on by boys and feels insecure from a very young age about boys and how she wants to “look like barbie” but doesn’t want to be badly used for her body. Hope that helped! :D
Check out in the reply section for a better understanding.x
this is amazing 🖤
i feel like the gif suits this song perfectly ngl
i just realized that she sings like word to word
i don't have words to describe it.

Please do Wheels on the Bus or Recess
I really feel with this song, since I had an experience like what Melanie talks about here.
Here's the story.
I was in advanced math in fifth grade, meaning I was doing 6th grade math without ever learning 5th grade math. My math class was my last hour before Advisory, which is basically a time to do homework, and sometimes my Advisory would go outside. So, I was running late for Advisory, and was packing up in the math room. We have small cushions (which the teachers called "tushy-cushies") in a basket for the people that sit on the floor to be more comfortable sitting there. This boy in the Advisory in the Math room grabbed a cushion since he sat on floor, and before putting it on the ground and sitting on it, he proceeded to stare at my @ss for a second or two without me noticing, then he slapped my @ss with the cushion twice. Thankfully, I did tell the teacher about it since it felt like/was s3xual @ssault and that is not acceptable AT ALL. She did talk to the boy and write him up, and he got suspended for about a week. I sometimes wonder if he would've done it again if I never told the teacher.
Thanks for reading my story! Have a cookie :) 🍪 - FUN FACT: When you put this video on loop, the GIF starts at the very start, fully looping the video.
*I like the part when she’s spinning* 👌
My dad pointed out that a lot of my body hair wasnt shaved and im supposed to shave everywhere on my body because im female. I relate to the "got to make sure that my legs are shining" part.
the legend says she's still spinning
edit: can you guys count how many times she spinned?
121 times I think!
109 i counted
Iv been waiting on this 🗣

its sad that teenage guys or girls, in general, can feel this or even guys why is feeling it's your fault now a normal thing, it isn't your beautiful the way you are the beautiful standards are annoying but know you're unique and gorgeous in your own way 😎
Yes this is what we all needed.
dang the girl can spin.
Girls shouldn’t be told off for “showing too much skin” boys should be taught on how to be respectful
please who ever reads this stop scrolling and read the things i have to say to you..
people will always have the urge to be perfect and better then they already are but no hunny you are literally just perfect the way you are. stop changing for the others satisfaction, they will never get satisfied if they weren’t in the first place. this if your life , it’s not a tv show or a commercial where everything has to be “perfect” , you have to be happy with the actions you make even if they’re not perfect to others. i love you please stop thinking you’re not perfect , you are already perfect the way you are. have a nice day
Background is Phenomenal✨..
The way she say “shortcake”
Legend says that girl still spins till this day...😳
Thank you for not having an eye sore gif that doesn’t loop
"People all around me are watching closely, cus its how i look and not what i think"
legend has it she is still twirling
*legends say she still spins till this day*
Legends say shes still twirling.
i once got touched by one of my classmates and got the courage to tell my teacher,, i told it to her but didnt do anything about it.. and after i told to her again cause i thought she didnt hear it she just told me to go back to my chair,,
once it happened to me again on 6th grade i didnt tell anybody anymore cause i was so scared i'd get ignored again,, and just cried in my room.
i didnt tell my parents or my siblings cause im not that open to them when it comes to problems cause i feel like a burden.
and i cried cause that guy followed me home and litirally touched me in the middle of the streets some people walked by but didnt do anything.
i just poured water on them until they let go of my bag and ran away holding it on my hand cause i cant run fast if im wearing it.
tbh Melanie's songs are relatable irl
you should do drama club 💕
I had to pause the video so my girl can take a rest from spinning too much
Could you do class fight??
I loved it💙
I remember first thinking this song was only about dress code when I first heard it, now 1 year later I'm feeling so upset
when she spins at that one part ;-; inspiring

women aren't objects..just because we are built differently doesn't mean you interact with it without consent. and because we hurt someone doesn't mean it's our fault. a girl shot a man who raped her and was blamed for it. It's called self-defense. my aunt punched her ex-boyfriend for trying to force her she got yelled at. *We aren't here for your needs.*
*shit* I am not sorry for the dude who got shot
Legends say she's still spinning around
If you like this song I recommend "Boys will be Boys" by Dua Lipa, it hits spot on and gave me chills like this song
Strawberry shortcake is so underrated
Omg!!! Thank you, I love this !💕
I love it 💞💕
don't know why our shoulders are "distracting" like again it ain't or fault its the perverts in our school so instead of teaching us how to "cover up" you should teach them how to respect women for their bodies and what they wear.
Gurl chill, with the way 2020 is going we don't need another tornado
