    That's how I got through my bullying too. I went to books. They took to me to somewhere else

    • @jina8960
      @jina8960 Před 5 lety +4

      swiftie1613 Me too, reading books is like having a whole other identity with characteristics that you wouldn’t think you would ever be able to have. It helps me escape to this other dimension and get rid of all the negativity in my life. I love it.

    • @addisonmarin5575
      @addisonmarin5575 Před 4 lety +2

      I was bullied to. I have an illness that affects a lot of different points in my life. I would get bullied for it, and people took it for something it wasn't, like a contagious Illness. I shut myself out from the world, and still am shut out from a lot of my friends. For example, I don't talk to one of my friends that I've known since the day I was born, when I really should (I'm 13). That was a lot of information about me.... Sorry! Books were my outlet and made me feel like less of an introvert.

    it's definitely a hard thing to go through, but that feeling once you know that person beat cancer. I swear, there is no other feeling like that.

  • @jessethereader
    @jessethereader  Před 11 lety +5

    I think the things I've been through have really opened my eyes and showed me that you can't waste your days being down, you have to keep your head up and hang in there. I still have my bad days, but I try my hardest to keep shining positivity.

  • @jessethereader
    @jessethereader  Před 11 lety +2

    It's okay. We all go through hardships. I know people have been through worse than what I've been through.

    @noodle089 Před 9 lety +115

    My Dad got lung cancer, and my whole world changed too. He died a year and a half ago and it has proven to be the absolute worst. I too pushed people away, and I also still struggle with things I was put through when I was bullied. I'm glad your momma is doing well, and I'm glad to see you've made a good life for yourself so far :) Gives me some hope.

    It was a really sad time and it's hard for me to really open up about the way I felt during that time in my life. It was a really dark time for me and I hope I never have to relive it.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. I know it's hard, but hang in there, things will get better. I still have days where I find myself crying, because I miss my grandma a lot. That sounds pathetic, but it's true. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm a message away!

    This video made me a little emotional. My grandma passed away when I was twelve, and I've also had to deal with cancer in my family, bullying and social anxiety. It's so great to see you're doing so much better now, means there's hope for all of us too! Thank you for making this wonderful video. I'd say it's encouraging rather than depressing, since you ended it on a positive note.

    @CatherineLovezJB Před 11 lety

    You are stronger than you know Jesse. Losing your grandma at such a young age, and having all those other problems at once had to be extremely difficult to bear. My grandma passed away this March and I'm 19. I cant imagine how it'd be if I lost her when I was at school and I had all these social and other problems myself.
    Just remember that you have people around you who love you. Your family and friends. You are funny, full of positivity and loved by the Booktube community Jesse. :)

    Just watched that video... It was beautiful. Brought some tears to my eyes but beautiful:') u seem like a great guy. We all have tough experiences, but we get through them. That's just life :) my grandpa died when I was young, but back
    then emotions didn't come to me as easily as they do now. I still love him this moment , though. My dad had a minor brain tumor too, but it was removed and dealt with. He is now a happy man, deth* in one ear, but happy.

  • @FullMetalAnime31
    @FullMetalAnime31 Před 9 lety +7

    It's pretty amazing that you've shared these hardships of yours with so many people. It's pretty apparent that you're a resilient individual, seeing as how positive you seem to be about things. As for insecurities about bullying, I totally understand that. I was bullied in middle school, and as a high school student fairly close to graduating, I still feel some of the insecurities that come with that as well; and, like you, I turned to books as a source of escape and happiness. You're amazing for having pushed through so much and I absolutely love your channel.

  • @jasminel_1454
    @jasminel_1454 Před 5 lety +1

    I unfortunately have a similar story, except my hardship was during 7th grade (this is what I’m focusing on) October of 2015 my paternal grandma passed away, then April of 2016 my paternal grandpa passed away, and a couple months later my maternal grandma was diagnosed with dementia. We found out about a year ago though that she was diagnosed incorrectly and she actually has Alzheimer’s. To say it hasn’t been easy is an understatement, but I wanted to share so Jesse, and anyone else who can possibly relate isn’t alone
