- Hey guys,
as requested, I will try to give you my advice concerning a very important topic. Getting bullied as an exchange student. I have a bit of a personal story concerning this one which I do not feel a hundred percent comfortable sharing, however, I want to give you as many tips as I can to prevent you from being bullied or disliked by anyone during your exchange.
If you have any further questions or videos you´d like to see me do, please leave them down in the comments below.
Lots of love,

Conflicts & uncomfortable moments for a newcomer to any environment are inevitable. Humans are selfish by nature, friends are also you rivals.
Perception becomes reality: you are treated the way you're perceived ( often unfairly ), but it's pat of the whole experience.
Very wise words!
Hi Laura!! Proud of your work☺️☺️ Quick questions what is something you expected from your exchange year in return? How many friends could you make?How long did your exchange year last? And what were some things on your exchange year that you regret doing?
Laura...nice video. I hope you realize that much of the advice you gave, like not gossiping, understanding the connection others have to each other is very important, especially in the Workplace, where getting along with your Boss and Coworkers is VERY important for your day-to-day happiness there. Also....I think you may NOT want to do a video about the problems you had with your Host Sister..You seemed to have made peace and patched things up, so doing a video about WHY things were not good back then could RUIN all that! BTW, are you making these videos in Germany...or a you in England as you have mentioned before? Tschuess!
Yes, definitely! I think so many of these tips are applicable to any new situation you get thrown into. I am actually in England at the moment but I pre-filmed all of these videos in Germany because I wasn't sure what the conditions would be like over here (privacy, lighting, wifi speed etc.). Starting around Christmas time, there will be fresh content from me again thats not pre-filmed anymore
@@honey27003 Thank You Laura for you reply!! It's always a pleasure to hear from you!! I hope you come back to the US someday and explore the GREAT LAKES area that surrounds Michigan. There is actually a LOT of history about Michigan that started with French and British explorers over 300 years ago. Plenty to see and much Beautiful Nature to enjoy! Please come by someday!! Tscuess!
@@balancedactguy Great idea! There are way too many beautiful areas in the states I haven't seen yet
@@honey27003 YES!! Please visit Michigan someday!! Michigan comes in TWO PIECES (besteht aus zwei Teilen!!) The UPPER and LOWRER Peninsulas!! Michigan has the MOST COASTLINE of ANY STATE except Alaska. If you have the time, look up places in Michigan...I recommend looking up Traverse City, Mackinac City, Mackinac Island and crossing the Mackinac Bridge!! (The Mackinac Bridge was at one time the Longest Bridge in the World!! ....about 8km long!!) Tchuess Laura!!
@@balancedactguy Thank you for the interesting facts and travel tips! definitely didn't know Michigan had the second longest coast line
Thanks this motivate me
I'd really like to know more about your personal experience, and thanks for the video
Thank you! I am sure I will talk about it one day. Are there any other videos you would like me to do?
Did you have to repeat a year when you went back to your home country
hii! I love your videos so so much!! I have a question but I'm afraid it'll be understood the wrong way though. Have you ever felt unsafe during your exchange?
There are no stupid questions around here. I am happy to answer anything people are curious about. Could you maybe specify certain contexts just so I can answer in more detail in one of my upcoming Q&As? Do you mean because of guns, religion, racism etc? Or in certain places like school, church, with my host family?
@@honey27003 yes, for example with all the shootings at hight school, weren't you scared of that?
@@rebeka4301 I'll definitely talk about this soon! Great question
American high schools can be brutal, no matter what. I had a very hard time in my junior/senior year. I had moved from a very affluent area and prestigious high school to one in the country (parents decided to move) and it was not well received. To make matters worse I had gone through major surgery and could not walk without crutches, so yea I really got bullied bad.
I'm so sorry to hear that :/ I just feel like high school kids are at an age where their hormones just go crazy and there is so much drama that they just kind of freak out and behave really badly towards others sometimes. I think this is probably a global phenomenon that everybody has t go through, unfortunately. You just gotta keep reminding yourself that better things are coming. Even though that is obviously very hard to do in a horrible situation like that
du sprichst echt gut englisch
Danke!!!!
@@honey27003 It's amazingly perfect English!!
