I LOVE that there’s no intros. You just start walking and that’s it! So refreshing
Thank you, might as well get to the point ❤️
I love this too. 💙 straight to the tea, if you will ;) 💟
@@christycarlsonromano who is recording?
it’s so good, she dives right into it! 🌊
The irony is that your portrayal of "nerdy" Ren made many of us fellow nerds feel strong, empowered, and beautiful.
This is SO true!
Yes!! Exactly! It was extremely empowering. When I forget when the moon landing occurred I start singing “we went to the moon in 1969, not 1970, but al year sooooner”
Edit- I am now a historian by trade, it paid off!!
Ren taught me the word ‘infuriating’ when she screamed it at Louis and I’ve been using it ever since lmao
Yes!
My older sisters watched you. I mostly watched later episodes of raven and her brother’s sitcom
"Bullying doesn't stop until you decide to learn how to set boundaries for yourself"
Ooof this is so true. I know someone who's a full grown adult and still a bully and they think they're just a "frank" person. They think that's the reason they have no friends...
Yup, have to set those boundaries.
My bully hasn’t changed at all. 15 some years later and the B came into my job and started making fun of me to another customer as I rang her up. At some point you just have to feel sorry for people like that as it’s pretty pathetic to never have grown out of that.
It's clearly her issue. Just rise above it and give yourself the peace you deserve.
@@christycarlsonromano I gave myself peace from the evil bullies.
@@paulanthonyhoeflich8988 That is great!
I love these take-a-walk-with-older-sis-Christy vibe videos. The way you talk is very peaceful, and the environment is very peaceful, and the way you present your thoughts and experiences is very enjoyable - even when you're talking about and remembering really unenjoyable events. Thank you for these! They're a breath of fresh air.
Of course. Hoping by sharing my experiences it can help others ❤️
Yes I actually prefer these to the cooking show because it is so authentic and raw
I agree. This one is my favorite. These new videos are raw, honest and relatable. Never let anyone dim your light. Shine as bright as you can.
Came here to say this! Yes!
Totally! Very soothing and thought provoking, sort of like a rare therapist that doesn't worsen my neurosis and or annoy me haha.
Immediately my mind went to ScarJo. Child actress. Raised in NY. Attended PCS with Christy. But anyways, I severely hate bullying. It's affected me into my adult years a little bit too. I stood up to a lot of my bullies in my tweens and beyond because I was sick of the ignorant comments. I very much don't like having an odd man out in groups because I know how that feels whether that's being ignored or the center of cruel jokes. The best thing I can do is make everyone feel included and seen.
I thought the same thing too!
My guess was her too. With the MCU being the big franchise.
I immmmediately had a feeling when she said huge- it was scarjo
I way feel you girl

Caught up with my high school bully after 4 years of college and all of my friends were judging me for doing so, but now I understand why I said yes, it was my way of making peace with the situation. In a bit of a round about way I felt a sense of guilt from her and an apology. We both recognized that we’ve grown so much and could start a new sort of friendship. Very grateful for the experience & your perspective on this topic 💓
You know it's funny the people that judged you for you doing this those are the kinds of people that will never grow up or have that evolved mentality of making peace with your demons because that's basically what you did and I commend you for that
@@supermiggio meet my childhood bully in 2004 he was going to marry this girl at a high school graduation 🤗
@@supermiggio to each their own. Meeting a bully and things work out can be awesome or just a waste of time if not. I've only been an accomplice to bullying once and apologized to said person later in life but they felt like getting to know everyone (girls) I was "friends" with on social media. 10 years ago me( at the time) and now me (10 years after and now) aren't the same person. Thankfully, who I am now raised questions from his weird advances.
Just remember you don’t have to be their friend, you dont owe them anything, you can make peace and walk away too
Y'know at least your bully regretted it. That's more than many of us get. Happy you made peace with it.
I looked up to her as Ren and wanted to be as driven and focused as Ren was.
Now watching this I look up to Christy as a person. I could listen to you tell stories all day. ❤💜❤
Thank you Sarah ❤️
Same here! She was a huge influence! I relate to her even more now!
It doesn't always make it easier, but sometimes remembering "hurt people, hurt people" puts it in perspective for me that there is nothing wrong with me... It's them.
It gets better ❤️
I was definitely hurt by hurt people.
@@cozy46 Same
I absolutely agree
Some people hurt themselves. They tear themselves to pieces, it doesn't always take someone else to do it. My bully was like that.
This really hits home for me. I was bullied hardcore as a kid and a teen, it absolutely is trauma for life. It never really goes away. You’re a GEM. You stood out and kids noticed. Much love girlfriend
❤️
I used to get jumped by 8 kids everyday in the 3d grade. I was known for being smart and a good fighter
No it doesn’t I was bullied all my life because of epilepsy
@@ashleybartels6457 Yeah, you'd think that'd stop as folks grow up, but there are those who elevate themselves by belittling others, even in adulthood. They must have very small minds and miserable lives if they have to resort to such base behavior.
@@christycarlsonromano frijoles caliente
I thought you were the coolest person when I was 5 when I saw you in Cadet Kelly. I thought, “What a cool, pretty girl. she has it all together. she’s mature, she’s tough”, and then to find out shortly afterward that you had your own show and you also voiced Kim possible was just mind blowing🖤
❤️
I loved Christy in Even Stevens. One of the best shows ever.
I loved Cadet Kelly!
Christy, I’ve adopted you to be my big sister- I’m the oldest and I’ve always needed you and didn’t know it until recently- even a 34 year old needs a new big sister 🥰
I'm here for you Amber ❤️
Agreed.
Honestly for a generation you were our big sister- Amber said it truly perfect and as the oldest sibling in my own family I agree 100%. You are definitely the big sister we all want.
Huge props to you Christy, for telling it like it is.
@@christycarlsonromano Yes, you're like the wise, big sister we all needed. Sadly, I've dealt with bullies my whole life and they just get worse as an adult.
I've really been enjoying your videos.
pretty sure it was Scar Jo since they both went to NY Professional Children’s School. They’re the same age and ScarJo did all the Marvel movies. I always got a cold vibe from her and always a warm vibe from Christy-guess vibes are real!
Hmm🤔
@@anisaromano5352 Lea Michele isn't a huge franchise star. So it's most likely Scarlett Johansson.
Yeah checked alumni out of curiosity and thought it was probably her too. I don’t think it matters though, I don’t hold anything against her as a 13 y/o we don’t know the pressure being put on those kids at such a young age.
Im from Mexico and there are 2 famous youtubers here who got to meet Scarlett and interview her and they said they got bad vibes from Scarlett and it wasn't the best experience so
It could have been scar jo she said “big franchise” movies. I don’t think she’ll say because she’s too sweet and caring.
My mom was my first bully. I cut my whole family off and haven’t talked to them in 5 years.
That's how youdo it chica socool you started this new decade alone....cut mine off 2019
Well, that tragic but, that's a harsh reality when it comes to dealing with families/friends, whom you thought would love you unconditionally but does everything in their power to ruin you physically, emotionally, mentally, in addition I really despite when individual try to shame you into tolerating toxic family member because "blood is thicker than water" *insert eye roll* I just retort to them, people can drown in blood also everyone on this planet has the right to have peace of mind, for your own sanity, whatever is going on with them, is much bigger, and has nothing to do with you as person, majority of the time these types will go though life in denial and entitled, will forever be victim of circumstances, unfortunately, now we have a culture of "victimizations".no one has to grow from mistakes, even if they're the ones who causes situations to get worst, it's always SOMEONE else to the blame.
Good for you!
@@violetviolent7980 as Luke skywalker once said in rise of skywalker, “some things are stronger than blood.”
Sorry to hear that. At times family can be the largest bullies and toxic In our lives. So at times you have to separate yourself. Good for you. Angel. I wish you well.
I have never been bullied but I was a bully myself when I was in elementary school. There are times that I will randomly remember mean things that I said or did to other kids and I become overwhelmed with shame and sadness. I am not that person anymore and haven't been since that time in my life long ago, however I often wish that I could meet those kids (now adults) again some day and tell them how deeply regretful I am of my actions and how sorry I am for hurting them. As crazy as this may sound, I never truly meant harm. I would lash out and even I didn't understand why. Now as an adult I understand that the abusive home that I was being raised in turned me into this kid who harmed others. To me, being mean was the "norm". The state eventually stepped in and removed me from my home but by then the damage had already been done. I despise bullying and as I got older I became the kind of person who always stood up for those who were afraid to stand up for themselves. If there's ever anyone around me who is getting bullied I will step in without hesitation and I have been this way for most of my life. If there's anyone reading this who got bullied by someone, I am sorry on their behalf. I hope you can take some solice in knowing that some of us do grow up and learn from our actions.
Thanks for sharing this ! If there's any way to reach out to those you bullied to say sorry, I bet they would appreciate it. But even so, taking accountability to yourself and changing was the most important thing. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If you can find any of those people on social media I think you should apologize for the incidents you remember. The same way it keeps you up at night, most of us remember those hurtful incidents with our bullies, the words they said, and how it made us feel. Your words will still have an impact today and can help undo some of the damage some of us carry around on a daily basis.
me too 🥺
I Definately agree with others here about reaching out and apologising, and while I can't predict how they will react, most people appreciate an apology. It might also be very cleansing to you. I really appreciate that you are genuinely remorseful and have made a change. Also I'm sorry about your background and am impressed that you always stand up for others :)
I think you should recognize the very real possibility that the people that you bullied were also overwhelmed with shame and sadness and also had a terrible home life and they couldn’t even escape it at school because of people like you.
I was bullied for being quiet, over weight, and not being the most stylish person in the world. But all of my bullies are in and out of jail now so 🤷🏾♀️ there’s that.
The bullying kept me from going to school for days. My teachers let me give presentations privately because of how bad it got. and you are 1000% correct, that never goes away. I'm in my mid 30s and find myself still changing how I act/live/speak because of things said to me when I was 14.
It gets better. Keep taking it a day at a time and love yourself. You deserve it ❤️
So sorry you went through that. As Christy said, love yourself no matter what.
Same! I was bullied a lot in middle school and high school. The words people said to me still come into my mind to this day.😢
Same!!!! But I am 20 now. It is so bright now
The honesty and transparency in this channel is blooming in such a way that your character as a person is beautiful
Big facts, exactly what I was thinking!
I loved the light cooking videos , but this is something special.
I had no idea that she had a CZcams channel. I’m glad I had a chance to sub to it cuz she’s been one of my fav actresses for many many years now.
You were bullied by Scarlett Johansson? That’s an intense thing to process. You both chose very different paths.
Christy is pretty and in-tuned with herself, that’s intimidating for other pretty women whom aren’t in-tune with themselves
Did i miss when she said Scarlett’s name? How do you know it was her?
@@jl.7739 I'm curious too
@@snoozyq9576 they went to school together besides another star who was male… so I’m guessing she guessed her from that story she had shared in one of her vids about going to school w a big star which she mentioned was Scarlett….. I believe it tho
I think she purposely chose to not say the person’s name. It might be a good idea to try not to guess, if it wasn’t Scarlett and even if it was and it’s not something she’s proud of - best to leave it in the past and not bring it into anyone’s minds those thoughts about her, thoughts which may not be true.
Christy, your channel and the content you’re putting out here is really hitting different. You have no idea how your honesty has healed and given strength in the last few weeks. Thank you for sharing your journey. You’re a beautiful soul.
I’m hoping she calls people out by name but we all know Christy is too kind and classy to do that 💜
Why would you want that
Gold times
No, she shouldn’t. That would be giving them power and validation
Lol, I feel like you guys are missing the message behind these videos
@@8LiterallyJustTheNumber8 it would be good to know if they are supporting a monstrous person or not. I personally would not want to be supporting a celebrity that is a bully. See: Lea Michele, Ellen Degeneres, etc. it goes even further to people like Harvey Weinstein. Number one bully.
Ask Me Anything.
Do you have somebody, besides your family, that does support you?
How can you handle such bullying from people in Hollywood? They mistreat you so horribly.
What did you parents taught you how to handle bullying?
Coul you make a video for potential parents of a child acting star and how to protect them from predators in the industry. Any advice?
@@RaccoonGamer9613 agreed 😎
I was never bullied. I was that kid stuck as “the nice popular kid” who was nice to everyone, but still hang out with the popular bullies. Not sure if that makes sense.
Now as a 27 year old, I realized that I was also a bully, not because I ever directly bullied someone, but because I never did anything to stop it and I was just on the side. I know that those that were bullied probably never hold a grudge against me, because I’m not that primary bully face, but I do feel bad now, as a mature adult, that I didn’t do anything to stop it or defend them, even tho I knew it was wrong. I am trying to be a better person now and speak up when I know I need to.
Thank you for giving us this platform and so deep videos and topics, Christy, LYSM!
I don't know as I was the most popular person always growing up but I definately hear you and am guilty in the past of not helping enough/at all with people who were bullied and I've felt enormous amounts of guilt for it. I find apologising to those people is very healing for myself and like you, I try to do better with others in similar situations and be more vocal/supportive :)
It's crazy how bullying can affect someone's life. Especially when you're an awkward kid with no social skills. The thing that helped me overcome all of that was accidentally joining an acting class in Highschool. I met some of the coolest people, they really helped me gain confidence and come out of my shell. I hope everyone has an experience like mine where they overcome it.
I was bullied and then was a bully a few times, both were painful but the regret of the things I said to other kids still haunt me. I have so much hope for this next generation that with so much access to information and other people's perspectives they'll be able to end this traumatic cycle. Thank you Christy for sharing your journey, sending love
I appreciate your honest comment. Your story can help people ❤️
I became a bully after being bullied too. What sucked is it didn't make me cooler. It made kids who would have taken me in as a friend hate me too. Then my bullies would use that to show how much of a piece of shit I was.
It was rarely physical, and when it was, it was guys smaller than me I guess because they sensed weakness, and since I've always been a big guy, they could make an example of me. Their hits wouldn't really hurt, but they'd humikiate me and I was afraid to fight back.
@@christycarlsonromano que tal un actor británico
The thing with bullies is they don’t remember bullying they don’t remember who they bullied they just think it’s normal and a lot of the time it’s their natural personality. They have issues then and now growing up. So when the people who they bullied confront them they often don’t have any memory of it or deny doing it. It’s pretty sad, kids are cruel.
A lot of my bullies are still bullies and try to peddle MLM products now,
They show no remorse and pride themselves on still being bullies.
It's the same with abusive parents. I would tell my father about something he did and he would just laugh.
@@linnycrocus6023 our parents must be related.
If it wasn't that it was that never happened or you did somthing to warrant me doing that to you
@Dan nigro that's bs and no excuse for it
A lot of these bullies grow up in highly abusive households too. I’ll never forget working at a before and after school program where we did art and crafts until the parents could pick their kids up from school. There was this boy who would say the meanest, most cruel things to the other kids there and he was constantly on a time out. And then his dad walked in to pick him up and everything made sense. He grabbed his bully son by the collar, was screaming and swearing in his face, belittling him, mocking him, and told him he’s gonna live the rest of his life as a failure since he “can’t even win a baseball game”. It was absolutely horrifying.
These bullies don’t learn their cruel tactics from nowhere!
Oh this verse came to my mind when you were talking!! "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." Romans 12:18 Great Video Girl!
❤️
Ashley Dudek if you turn the other cheek, you'll quickly run out of cheeks. If someone is mean or rude to you, you are within your rights to give as good as you get. Otherwise the bully continues to walk all over you.
You’re so down to earth. I love how candid your vids are.
I was severely bullied for being gay & in the closet growing up. I don’t know if I’ve truly healed from it, but like you said at the end... you do work on it/yourself over time & come out the other side as we both have 💜
Being bullied for your sexuality is wrong. It don't matter what ones sexuality is, your still a human being who deserves to feel good about yourself.
I was bullied for being gay before I even fully realized I was bi. I guess sometimes people sense it.
I bet most if not all those bullies live with guilt, embarrassment, and remorse for what they did. Kids don't have filters and self-awareness which leads to bullying imo. I wonder if most adolescent bullies don't even realize they are bullying.
I bullied this one girl in high school because she got my cousin into some trouble. I think about it now that I’m older it’s been 10 years and I always feel horrible about it and shame. I’d like to apologize to her someday but never seen her again
These newer videos where you dive into the tougher topics are so real and comforting. It feels like we're friends having coffee and I am here for it.
What the heck this page is so wholesome and real. Thank you for being so honest and transparent about your life!
Your recent videos truly resonate with me. I can’t explain how calming and relatable they are. Hope this is as much of an outlet for you as it is for all of us 🤍
I enjoy all these videos each week it’s nice and refreshing for somebody to be honest and authentic. I’m sorry to hear about the bullying I’m glad that you’ve grown as a person and I hope those people who bullied you I have become better people themselves because clearly they were insecure.
❤️
@@christycarlsonromano Oh sweetheart I know exactly what you went through when I was a kid everyone was bullying me and sometimes I would get hurt but as I got older they became better people and I also learned that to not let anyone get to me and I do hope that it’s going to get better for you too babe
@@christycarlsonromano today is samuell benta's birthday
@@christycarlsonromano 💖
@@christycarlsonromano hey Christy
What was your process to achieve self love? It's really hard for folks to see the beauty in themselves and it can be a lifelong struggle, so I am curious what tools you used or what reflections you had that helped you reach that point.
Love this video! As someone who’s had to go through a lot of therapy from intense bullying all through school, I so appreciate you sharing how important it is to heal your inner child from that- so many people don’t know how vital that is, and how much it runs into their adult lives. Thank you for being open, Christy! ❤️
Your words really hit my heart. Giving yourself closure just confirmed what I always needed to hear, and do for myself. Thank you.
I’m glad you’re sharing your stories because I can tell you’re strong and you’re used to putting the best on the outside so things don’t get worse even though you suffer inside , and you deserve to release without feeling fear
I love how you talk about real life problems! It’s often that we believe that celebrities are a step above normal people. I feel as if you are someone that’s easy to relate to. I’m sorry that you were bullied. Thank you for sharing your story. Love you so much!
So nice to hear this right now. I've been dwelling on the pain of bullying after college. Sometimes these moments don't leave my head late at night. Thanks for making it easier to swallow that bullying happened to me but it's also in my power to move through the trauma of it.
Aww thank you Christy for being that elder sister and I can imagine how hard it is to tell this story so your strong!
You should think about making children’s books on handling finances and others topics such as bulling and perspectives.
That's actually a really great idea Remy.
That's a great idea
@@christycarlsonromano id buy them for my kids
Could be a book for each topic bc they are so different loads of material!
Kind of like a Ned's declassified but for child acting but also general stuff, I guess.
Congratulations on surpassing 300,000 subscribers Christy. You Rock!
I was severely bullied and it truly affected me but I can say that it does get better. Thank you for sharing your personal stories. You give me hope that even in my 30’s I can keep overcoming these experiences.
Love the walk and talks. Very calming and feels like talking to a friend.
Christy, I just wanted to say that I'm an aspiring actor (going off to college for theater in a month) and while I came to your channel for a lot of the Disney stuff (I was a bit young for your shows when they first came out, but I've watched them now and I think they're so cool!) but these types of videos have made me stay. Your honesty and vulnerability is really refreshing, and I feel like I'm getting really good solid advice. You're a huge inspiration to me, and these videos have made me feel like I have a mentor alongside me on my journey
I can relate so much to this. I was bullied so bad as a kid and now I'm seeing my son get bullied. It makes me so mad seeing that and nowadays kids get in trouble for just standing up for themselves
Strong boundaries are so important.
Thank you for making this video. This is coming fellow nerdy 90's kid who still gets bullied in the workplace.... but takes it better. This week was a bit rough keeping my head up high. The timing of this post was just impeccable.
This! This right here!! I couldn't quite put it into words, but this is exactly it! You don't always get closure in life, sometimes you have to give it to yourself.
Much love Christy!
I love the walking and talking conversations, it feels like a stroll with a friend ❤️
Great message once again. Made me think about how people may think fame would allow them to escape bullying. But sometimes fame is just another target for the bullies, as jealousy is a very powerful motivator.
Keep making these videos.
Ironically one of my worst bullies looks just like you. I'm so glad you're posting about this and the healing that's necessary to deal with the trauma a lot of us grew up with.
Christy, thank you for sharing these hard memories. I was bullied growing up as well and you bring up so many valid points like about parents teaching their kids to set boundaries and closure. I think what gave me the most peace is when I decided to forgive my bullies. I had stored up so much bitterness and anger over time and once I made that decision, I was free.
“When you’re bullied, it’s like trauma for life!”
Ohhhhh so true!!!!
I like the kitchen throwback and the guest stars reacting and talking about their shows. But I also really like the personal blogs too. They are fun to get a peek into the acting/Hollywood life.
Your childhood sounds remarkably similar to mine on so many ways. Love this video! Closure is SO important and healing is super important. I hope every day my kids never become bullies or get bullied. It’s one of my greatest fears 😩
You're amazing; with everything you went through, the good and the bad, you've become a stronger person. And your daughters will learn one day how strong and kick butt their mom is. Good on you.
Reminder on. Wow, this particular video is going to be really different. Bullying is a topic that needs a lot of recognition. I remember when I was younger in my school days especially when I was a teenager I suffered a lot from being bullied and treated badly and made fun of by my classmates. Nobody with a normal mind and a normal heart wants to be bullied or mistreated for it is not a pleasant feeling. Many people would say that unpleasant experiences such as bullying can make an individual stronger since it is said that pain and rejection makes you stronger through time. I would really like to see how you Christy overcame the damage of bullying. I believe I can learn a lot of watching this video about this particular topic.
We’ve all been bullied. I’ve never let it get the best of me. Be kind to each other.
I must say the walks while clearing your thoughts is amazing. I absolutely love the content of this channel.
I’m watching “The Cutting Edge: Going for the Gold”’ and thinking of you and all you said in this video! It’s so fun watching this movie now after hearing you and your BEAUTIFUL HEART from this you tube video and other videos!! Blessings!! Thanks for being YOU and staying TRUE, REAL, KIND, and LOVING! True role model you are!!
I really like this new video series.
So much intimacy and love and artistic self expression. I guess that anybody anywhere can relate to these kinds of genuine interaction, so filled with emotional integrity.
Great stuff!
Oh and just so you know, I think you and Shia Labeouf really are antonyms in the real world as well. The both of you represent that state of duplicity in most people everywhere. That is why the Even Stevens show was so much fun. I loved it. I wish I could have seen all the episodes.
The movie was one HELL of an experience!
Christy 'm loving these '"real talk" type videos. The levels of energy you are throwing our way are amazing, Thank you for taking the time. Truly.
This is why I love you Christy you are so opened and confident to let anything you have to get off your chest. I don’t know what kind of person would want to bully you, that sucks! The Entertainment industry sucks now
I've actually grown up with my bully, and to this day all the things she has put me through in the past really sucked. It was really aggressive and scary and she sent people after me. Of course I moved to a different state, but everything she has done to me really traumatized me and I couldn't attend school without feeling this fear that it might happen again so I would skip class, and I dropped out at 16. I don't really understand why she did what she did and I am on the journey of forgiving and accepting that it happened, I'm trying to find closure. You really inspired me to keep at it and not give up. So, Thank you.
Again, I am so impressed by the cameraperson’s ability to walk backwards this whole time lol or is there some trick I don’t know? Lol
I love these videos Christy, really down to earth, insightful, and easy to watch.
I've been trying to figure that out. I think more likely, it's her husband walking ahead of her with the camera strapped to his back. I could be wrong though. Because for someone to walk backwards for so long is pretty hard. Unless it's like a golf cart set up or something
@@caomhan84 that’s what I was thinking too. She’s probably following him and looking in the camera
Cameraman here. They could be recording with the front-facing camera held on something like a selfie-stick pointing it over their shoulder. Or it could be done with something like a DJI Osmo. Google it. Either way, I don’t think they’re walking backwards or have anything strapped to their back; it’s too smooth.
If you see in 7:57 you can see a shadow of someone holding the camera .
@@Gregavision thanks. I thought about the smoothness, but I don't know enough about the technical stuff to know whether you could strap a steadicam type thing to your back. Whatever they're doing, they're doing a good job.
when she said, “in huge franchises” i instantly thought of scarlet johansson
Same!
Yeah I thought of someone in a marvel movie or something since she said franchise….
Seems on brand for her
Me too because she and Christy both graduated from Professional Children's School in Manhattan per IMDB.
It’s gotta be her
Wow, you speak so eloquently and intuitively. You speak of healing and closure so beautifully. I hope this video brings peace to so many people because it did for me. Thanks Christy!
You are changing people with every video you make. I hope you know that. You are so humble and so self aware. Its a relief listening to these videos
I love her voice. I can be walking somewhere and it feels like my conscious is just speaking to me
I was bullied heavily in middle school and high school. And till this day sometimes I’ve still found myself thinking about the cruel things said to me but like Christy said you have to let go of these bad memories for yourself because no one else will do it. I love these authentic videos so much. I grew up watching Christy on Disney Channel in the early 2000’s and you’re still the big sister I need in my life! Much love 💕
I've always wanted a big sister, ever since watching you on Even Stevens as a kid. I watched every episode multiple times and you have been my mind's image of a big sister ever since. So I'm really happy to see you posting regularly and telling your stories with your unique storytelling abilities. You've got a sub and lil brother in me for life!
I’m at the point where your walking videos are the only videos on CZcams I can watch start to finish. No long intro, no fancy outro, straight to the point and saying things of sustenance. I am so glad I came across your videos! It’s also nostalgic after all this time… from- a Disney loving 90s baby
You’re my internet mom, and this is my comfort channel. I’m really enjoying this series so far, and I’m excited to see more 👉👈
I was bullied my entire life, even til now it happens and I’m 33, but the biggest lesson I’ve learned is that hurt people, hurt people so I didn’t want to hold onto that hurt anymore. It’s great to see you send that message of healing and positivity and moving forward in a healthy light! 🤗💜
Thank You for BRINGING THIS TRUTHFULNESS TO EVERYONE!!! Unhealthy household creates Bullies and it is not being recognized.
I'm new to the channel, but my sister and I used to adore you when we were kids. This is the best video I've seen thus far.
When you started talking about "hurt people hurt people," it hit me like a tonne of bricks because I was best friends with my bullies when I was a kid/teenager. We stay close to this day as mature women who were able to HOLD ON and later become each other's support systems.
You truly do not know what goes on behind close doors, the best option is always empathy.
I was bullied by my mom. And also by my peers for being poor. It does stick with you and takes a lot of self love to not let those negative memories shape how we view ourselves as we grow older. Thanks for sharing!
💕💖
Thank you Christy, this is what I needed to hear right now. Despite being 30, I've never grown past who I was as a young teenager. I've been working on it for years, and it feels like I've made no progress, but I'm getting there. Baby steps. ❤️
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the turn that this channel has taken.
Grew up with a massive crush on you, Christy. I was a bit of a nerd, theater geek, and didn’t have many friends in high school. Crazy to hear you grew up like that. You’re right when you say that you never know what someone is going through, even if you think that person is really popular.
I was majorly bullied too and I remembered watching you on Even Stevens back in the day. It's a really good thing you got out of the system, especially given all the pedophilia that is coming out, starring Disney. I hope you were able to escape that. Know you have a support system out here that is bigger than you realize. God bless you!!!
No matter what people have said about you, you'll always be one of the coolest people we've ever known - not just because of what remember you from, but also your personality and what you're teaching all of us. You seem like a great role model and a great mother.
And I relate to being bullied too. Even now, I still have that happen to me.
Just when you think it’s all been done, you come up with the walk and talk videos! These are so awesome.!
I love what you said about telling your kids to have boundaries. So very important from them to know that you don’t have to allow people to treat you any way. I was bullied I I school as well. Painful, I somewhat brought it on myself, with creating this false persona to try and fit in. It tore me up inside and I ended up needing to change schools and get a new fresh start, and perspective. Growing up is hard, but unfortunately many people never grow up, and learning to have boundaries is something you will need to retain all of your life. With “adult” bullies as well as friends and family. Such a great piece of advice Christy.💗
Bullying does suck, and before I had kids, I looked at it like it was learning experience…something that I was proud of overcoming by standing up to my bullies. Then I became a dad, and I see how many ways that kids can be bullied today. It’s no longer just some scumbag making your life miserable at school. It follows you home online, and it’s 24/7. There’s no standing up for yourself anymore, and having that moment. Thank you for sharing your stories!
I was bullied all throughout school and college, too. I was nerdy, studious, and got A's which made many jealous, thus the bullying. I have forgiven those who hurt me because anger is toxic to the soul.
I appreciate the fact you didn't name your famous bullies. It shows you have a lot of class and a great character. ❤
PS: I don't think your teeth are huge.
Watching your videos has been so therapeutic for me. I love hearing you talk about your life experiences. It’s helping me get through a lot right now.
I'm happy to hear that, hon. More to come ❤️
You’re so right that closure is something you give yourself not something you get from other people.
Christy, I was dealt by bullies ever since the 3rd grade and I tell you the one thing that I deal with bullies is just walk away and ignore them. You are a strong caring woman and I am sorry that you have been bullied in the past. My advice to you is to be courageous and walk away from bullies. Thank you Christy and always be kind to one another.
I love her
Sorry you were bullied in the past.
I feel for ya Jeremy and hope you don't have and serious lasting effects. I tried to walk away at times but sometimes I would be surrounded by other students who would not let me leave. I'm talking 20-30. One time I finally snapped and charged at a bully. Although I did get whopped that bully left me alone after that since he saw I was no longer a passive target.
Walking away didn't work for me growing up, I was followed and harassed. My fear of fighting back didn't come from the kids, it came from my parents. I was afraid of getting suspended and disappointing them. I was known as the good kid who didn't bother people and stayed out of trouble so my parents were proud of that and I didn't want to disappoint them.
Man I can always count on you to deliver such a beautiful message. I've also learned that closure was whatever I said it was, and that I may not always get it and I would have to make peace with that. I am so glad I found your channel! I feel like it's just you and me having great conservation. Also I am be 32, and I still love watching Kim Possible on Disney Plus lol.
I hate that I’m just coming across your page within the past week.. but am so grateful I have! You have sparked my inner nostalgia as a child, but also have hit home with my inner demons, and along with helping me relate with personal things. I wish I would’ve seen these things sooner. 😂 Thank you for being so transparent, and continuing to be such a genuine role model! 💗
Just here to say I recently found your channel, I've loved everything you've done since I was a kid, and I love seeing you in Austin. That's home for me so it's been so fun to watch your videos and feel like we're walking and chatting in some of my favorite places growing up. Thank you for being our big sister. I'm the oldest, married with two babies now, and it's comforting to hear you just talk about your life experiences and share your wisdom. Thank you for sharing your heart with us!
I hate that you had to go through that Christy, still a supporter.
Christy, these videos you've been doing recently are so amazing! I love seeing you talking so openly about experiences that are often universal but that a lot of people don't talk about or bury. It feels like going on a walk with an old friend. Love it!! Also, your advice is great!
Thank you, happy to share ❤️
This is amazing Christy. I am still in therapy from middle school bullying. I was an overweight gay kid, and it was awful. It does stay with you. It's hard to look back on those days still, but I think it's great that you are working through it and honest about it. I hope I get to the point of being at peace with it. I have grown from it mostly and I have a great 34-year-old life now, but I hope to not be hurt by those days in the future.
Wise words from a wise woman just hits different. Thank you!
My biggest takeout is that we have to find peace. I was trying to find closure from the others who hated/hurt me (e.g my ex and friends who hated me to be exact) - years later and I finally agree with you: I'm not going to get that closure with most people in life, everyone has moved on, and I can totally relate.
Nevertheless, Christy, I'm enjoying your content!
I feel like I was only ever bullied by the people I called my friends in school. I was always the type of person who loved easily. It doesn’t take very long for me before someone starts to feel like a friend. I had a few friends in junior high who basically kept a diary that they passed to each other all about me. I know about the diary because long after one of the group had left the school, she came back for a visit and gave it to me. It was pretty traumatic, because I could see by the date on the diary around the time that they no longer considered me a friend, and it was a lot earlier than I would have expected. One thing I noticed when I came back for a visit once is that those girls don’t remember bullying me at all, and so I let it go. I have much better friendships as an adult that are genuine.
That's interesting.
Wow I had a similar experience in middle school. It’s so weird when a group of friends decide to drop you inexplicably. You internalize it a lot. Especially at that age. But it’s funny you mention that they don’t remember bullying you, the girls who did the same to me all reached out years later with no memory of how they treated me. I wonder why that is.
I’ve been struggling with bullying my entire life
Thank you Christy for encouraging people to be courageous and firm throughout despite the hardships
Sucks that some of these people were famous
Glad you got out of that situation and glad that you found peace after everything 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
