I feel like most YouTubers fail to show their more human side. Dodie is brave enough to admit she's made mistakes and stand up to them. She's flawed like everyone else. We could learn a lot from her.

Youtubers have a right to keep their flaws private. They are human too and they do not owe it to anyone to share their insecurities and secrets.

I don't think those other youtubers share their mistakes and flaws like Dodie tho. When they share their mistakes and flaws, it's still on the grounds where they don't want to paint themselves in a bad image at all. Whereas Dodie, she's telling us that she had once bullied a person to, something that most people in the internet would cower away from, because 'this youtuber used to be a bully'.

Santiago Olivarez shut up what about the most human if them all ricky Berwick

Анастасия Романова hell yeah dude, sounds good

I disagree. So many youtubers share their mistakes and flaws, I think its very underrated to see a 'happy' youtuber nowadays who doesn't share all of their negatives. They'd get called fake. I think those people are braver.

Hanz Franz didn't you listen? That story is an extract from her book. The book is full of honest, truthful stories. Revealing the cover is something many people have been looking forward to, and it's completely relevant to the video.

Santiago Olivarez Yes we can learn, how to place personal Ad at the end of an "honest story".


"everyone is just a collage of their favourite parts of other people"

this 😍 😍 😍

I read this when she said this and it made it even more beautiful


to the girl with the rainbow bag: you are lovable

_to the girl with the rainbow bag: _*_you are lovable_*

On a sidenote, 'to the girl with the rainbow bag' would make such a good book title.

i literally needed that in my life— im currently making a watercolor picture of that quote. might even post it as my yt pfp!

also i have a sticky note in my binder for school that says, "to the girl with the rainbow bag..." and this video makes me vv happy which is why i keep the note

*_you are confident, you are bright, and you are brave_*


i have trust issues
i would rather be bullied to my face
but i was bullied behind my back.
I just wish i knew what they didn't like

Same I got bullied by my old group of friends behind my back they would find out my secrets and start rumours they kinda outed me and remember I’m year 7 and just started high school

Juliet Nash  , SAME I often find myself instantly regretting my actions and feeling awkward , without speech when people compliment me . Simply because I’m used to the hate and discrimination .

Juliet Nash I’m going through that now :(

Dont Make Me Cringe who gives what u think?

Yeah I’d rather been bullied to my face too when I was bullied. You just have a sense of security kind of that you know who is saying those things. It just calms me down thinking about knowing who is bullying me

I had both bullying behind my back and towards my face my whole life and nobody seems to care.

this video has over 1 million views and about 4k comments, not all of which are about being bullied. and if they all were, it would mean approximately 0.4% of those who watched the video were bullied.

Im fairly local but still cant find my car radio I also have trust issues

Im fairly local but still cant find my car radio same

AHH your pfp is perfection and *sadly*you had to go through that

My friend thinks that being talked and mad fun of behind my back is not being bullied but it is and I just want to scream at every one

Stand above them! They just want to make you feel insecure about yourself, knowing that you have a great personality! Don't settle down on their Niveau,they are just jealous for some reasons.Jealousy is often the cause of being disrespectful towards others,when you didn't do anything to them. (sry im not a native speaker)

Im fairly local but still cant find my car radio aw sad for you

they only did it behind your back because theyrescared. just ignore them.

Same! I hate when random shit feels like it's being passed on about me. Of course no one would do that to me, because I don't want to brag, but I am quite nice to them, but it just feels that way.

So some girl got jealous I was hanging out with HER friend so she told her friend that I had lice. Why? So she wouldn't hang out with me. So I became Lice Girl and "Ew, take a shower!" Girl for a while but honestly I don't care. I found great friends that helped me stand up to a lot of other people!

Im fairly local but still cant find my car radio <br>I’m the same. People chatting secretly to each other about me being bi. It sucks.

Im fairly local but still cant find my car radio
I’m the same. People chatting secretly to each other about me being bi. It sucks.

there’s a reason they’re behind you, you’re better than them

I am going through the exact same thing at the moment. It's the worst feeling not knowing what you've done wrong to deserve it, especially since I find out every time it happens. I would rather not know to be honest, or like you said, have it said to my face. At least then I could change and stop it from happening.

Im fairly local but still cant find my car radio I've never related to something more.

Im fairly local but still cant find my car radio. Oh my goodness, your like my twin . That's exactly like me. 😨

you are brave, strong, kind, and innocent. meanwhile, they talked about you behind your back, because if they talked about them, no one would care.(quoting some meme I saw on tumblr) take care bud 💓

Im fairly local but still cant find my car radio I swear to god TØP fandom is everywhere and I’m not complaining

It is scary sometimes(always scary) but that's OK because there will be always someone here for you

Right?! Apparently there's this kid in my grade who keeps gossiping about me behind my back, but I'm not even in any of his classes. I wish he would just say it to my face smh

They didn’t like the fact that they knew that you had something that they would never possess, and it drove them crazy. This is what drives ALL bullies and humans crazy— the idea of being imperfect.

I hate it when things like that happen. It also sucks when you THINK that people are bullying you behind your back but you're not even sure


"Everyone is just a collage of their favourite parts of other people " oh my ... I'm gonna be thinking about that for a long time 💭💭💭

WTF I LITERALLY JUST READ THIS WHILE SHE SAID IT


I hope the girl with the rainbow bag has seen this.

The girl with the rainbow bag! All I can think of is Tilly out of 'tots tv'

Star Pixen omds same. and 1100th like lol


i was hoping for a comment saying "i was the girl with the rainbow bag"

Everyone is the girl with the rainbow bug, and dodie, and all the other children.
There is an amazing story by Etgar Keret called "pick a colour" that talks about the fact the every person is a bully and a victim at the same time, I think everyone should read this story.
(You can find the story on the internet, maybe you'll need to search "pick a color" without the U, but you'll find it)

Micah Horton that's an amazing analogy but we aren't necessarily bullied??? there's kind of a spectrum and bullying is the lowest point

Rainbow Flower we looked at your account and you are not her, but you seem amazing!

Me too lol. Now everyone’s gonna be like “that was me!”

Rainbow Flower Hun, we know It wasn’t you because of your YouTube. You’re a gorgeous girl, and you may have a rainbow backpack, but there’s no way you’re over twenty lol. But approach your bullies- if you are bullied- as you would with how you said you did with Dodie. It may be hard, as they just seem so heartless and it’s much easier to forgive someone when they’re as popular as Dodie and as open as her, but deep down everyone has insecurities hidden and we’re all our own version of Dodie. I hope everything goes well for you hunni, good luck

There are thousands of young kids lying about it being them so..

Hayley Hughes I have a rainbow backpack! But I’m only 14 and I’m not the girl in dodies story 😜

Hayley Hughes its me i told her i was ok and that she is amazing i was never mad at her just sad. I forgive her. LOVE.witch

Tempest480 hah it’s hard to believe that

In my school literally no one is bullied

L. L. I wasn’t bullied, and I wasn’t a bully myself

L. L. Agreed I know plenty of people who haven't been bullied

Megan Horton i honestly don't think all people get bullied

Hayley Hughes I was the girl with the rainbow bag!

Aren't we all the girl with the rainbow bag, though? We're all bullied at some point, and there are always people who don't respect us, and those who do.

Hayley Hughes I believe that was my sister I doubt it but it does remind me of my sister she had a rainbow backpack and was bullied by other kids


Cheers to the girl with the rainbow bag.<br>I'm sure she's a great person.

Cheers to the girl with the rainbow bag.
I'm sure she's a great person.

@Rainbow Flower You're a little kid, though? She would be an adult.

HAMILTON IS EVERYTHING yeahhhhhhhhhh ................

But i like to trust people

chocothechip because one of the comments said that they were that person


Only a year ago I had very messy, knotty and dying hair. It was so much fun for anyone to point out. They would say stuff like "you have a bird's nest" or "do you brush pour hair?". I got really nervous and whenever someone asked I said "rarely" because I was too scared to tell the truth. My hair was messy because my mum was never around to help me brush it or to help me put it into fancy hairstyles. I was so fed up. Even my friends would comment on it, they believed that I never brushed my hair. I cried for days, everyday after school I would cry about the hurtful things people said. I told my friend if someone said my hair was messy again I would cut it off and make it short. About less than 5 minutes later someone did. This year in March I decided to do it, now I have a grown out pixie cut. Now I have compliments like "I wish I could have your hair" and "your hair is fabulous". I love myself now.

I can relate to this so much! Everyone acts like I haven't done anything to attempt to make my hair better and that I just don't care! It is such a huge insecurity of mine. I'm going to get short hair next week and I'm praying it goes well but I'm so glad there's someone that I can relate to because everyone uses those insults to me as well....I don't see why people think it's ok to shame people for their natural characteristics....

UH I THINK I AM YOU IM REWATCHING THIS BECAUSE THIS HAS STARTED TO BECOME A PROBLEM FOR ME WOW

I'm glad you love yourself, but hopefully that isn't because people compliment you. Your self worth and the opinions of others should never be compared.

Unborn Alien I hope you cuted your hair for you and not because you wanted to please people

Unborn Alien I love my short hair and I got a long tome ago. Som rude people called me a "lesbian"

Unborn Alien The fact that you cut your hair to a pixie cut and then everyone was saying how beautiful you were then just told me something, humanity only cares about looks. But just remember, it’s the inside that counts.

the phandøm phamily with a løve for drama

I'm so glad you're happy now... I have similar story about my hair too. Best of luck for you :)

Never change your self because of the things that people say

Look up cgh they have great hairstyle vids that i think you would love.❤so glad to know your confident with your hair now.

I have super annoying hair too!
But in my case, my mum is the problem
She is obsessed  in styling my hair in ways that make me very self-concious
I wanted to cut my hair short but she won't let me
She says I'll look like a boy
And also, I'm trans

Ads the Alien I know how you feel about hair sister! It's terrible when you can't do anything, and your mom can't help. I have super annoying hair, and now I have a cute pixie cut to! Stay confident ;)


hedy's amazing art pulls this story of growth and realization all together so beautifully. i can't wait to read more💕


I was bullied daily since I was four years old (with my bullies' ultimate goal being my suicide) and I still can't understand how people can do that to someone else after knowing how horrible it feels. :/

People do it because they want to have power when they feel helpless.  Trust me....I was a bully

She wasn’t quite sure of what she was doing also in the video she said she felt bad of her mistakes

ᴍ.ᴋ. That is so weird... How old are the bullies?


the part where she speaks to the girl with the rainbow backpack makes me cry every time. I'm Dodie, and the girl, and the people who teased them both, and everyone else, all at once. It hurts to be bullied, and it hurts to bully others. Thank you Dodie, you don't give me strength, you remind me I have had that strength all along.

Kromantik

because just like in the video dodie said that bullies will feel like they want to fit in, or maybe it could be a tragic past. maybe things aren’t good at home and they want to take their mind of things. or it could be jealousy. there are so many possibilities so i can’t write them all down. but, even tho they, the bullies, have had a hard time, their tragic past do not excuse their bad behavior. but they’ve learned from that and they most likely won’t do it again.

although i haven’t bullied others, and i haven’t been ‘severely’ bullied (it wasn’t severe bullying, they were just saying mean stuff to me but i tend to forget about it and just avoid them at all means) i think what dodie and this comment said is true.

and not every bully will feel this way, they could just be making fun of you because they think it’s all a joke and that certainly isn’t nice, but all we can do is wait. wait until they see what they’re doing is wrong. if you are a victim, you have the right to be mad at them, that’s normal. but in my opinion, i think we should see each other eye to eye and be considerate. because bullying hurts and being bullied does hurt too.

It hurts to bully others? Then why did you bully them in the first place

tasteblind i love your profile picture. that's one of my favourite movies!


I was bullied.
I had anger issues, too much energy, and was too clingy. Kids would call me crybaby, and provoke me. One girl threatened to stab me with a tac. (I am very, very small. I was the smallest in my grade, and she was big.) A bully of mine is my friend, actually. She brings it up from time to time, but it's whatever.
I was a bully, too, from peer pressure.
I was an introvert with insecurity looming over my shoulders. When I received two friends who were popular. I became a little possessive of the "popular" idea and tried to fit in. I was the clown of the group, making people laugh. When a new girl came, (Yes, I am friends with her today," my so called "friends" goaded me into doing bad things. Hitting her in dodgeball despite being on the same team, being rude, you name it. They convinced me to say swears that I shouldn't have said.
I was the joke, used, and molded. I realized this too late. I bet she's off snorting talcum powder right now, cherishing the bliss ignorance she has about "cool" things.
I will never be used again. I utterly despise false people. I am loud, and talk back to those who deserve it, and place my opinion clearly. I am not a pushover, and I will never be ever again.

I was exactly the same. My so-called 'popular' friends used me for a bit, then passed me on. I had no real friends. When I would tell someone, I was called a crybaby, and when I finally tried to stand up to them, I had "anger issues".
I was isolated.
Nobody knew I was alive unless it was for a joke.
Everyone I thought I trusted never believed me.
But it never really even stopped.
It's still happening and I can't do anything.
I've been bullied my whole life but nobody believes me.
I'm just the weird kid who nobody likes.
I'm nothing like my peers. I share no interests with them, I look different, I don't follow stupid trends,
I'm smart, but wrong.
I'm pretty, but too different.
I'm creative, but insane.
They all think I'm mad, I've been called a psychopath.
They don't realise I have feelings at all.
I only have 1 friend now, but I'm going to a different school next year and I just want her to make real friends.
I love her a lot, and she loves me (platonically).
She tells me everything that's bothering her in her life, but I can't tell her how I feel, I can't trust anyone anymore.
But because I made one friend (who is also a girl) and we are really close, suddenly we both get teased for being lesbians :/
She told me she's straight (she has a massive crush on the guy who says to me that I'm gay for Nicole. (I don't like her that way))
But I have never told anyone that I'm pan (I would date on personality).
I just don't want her to get teased for something she's not. I don't care anymore if they tease me, let them, but I don't want them hurting my best friend anymore.
But I'm just known as the artsy girl who makes references (not even that obscure) every second sentence and the scary one.
Everyone's afraid of me because I'm really tall for my age and I wear all black (and I always look depressed).
Sorry for venting yall I just really felt the same as you

bubba hubba Do not worry. ‘Standing up’ to a bully is not bullying. If you made her feel unsafe to go to school, or personally despise it OTHER than a ‘rivalry’ (meaning she/he can fight back verbally without fear) then it is not bullying. They were flat out lying. Do not be afraid to stand up for yourself. If the popular kids, like in my case changed you, ditch them. They’ll change you in ways you’ll regret.

exactly same with me, i was bullied for since i came to my new school, and then it was getting too much but the popular people decided after 2 years to let me hang out with them, this girl always used to give me dirty looks and talk about me so i stood up to her for a year and then i was told off that she wrote a letter off how i bullied her for 3 years? when i thought about it i didnt even know english those 3 years ago but i cried for weeks because i felt guilty, i still do and idk what to do any advice?

Wow, Hedy is so talented!

Also, I doubt you will see this Dodie but everybody has tried to fit in at some point in their lives. I've recently come out of a toxic friendship with a girl that brought out the horrible side in me, the side that would talk about other people, even friends, and laugh at the girls that were at the same social "rank" as me because I thought it made me cool in her eyes. I've moved on from that now, and she's officially out of my hair until summer ends and I sit next to her in English, but oh well. I'm now with a lovely group of friends, we're honest with each other and we don't plan social events if we know the other doesn't want to (which is an important thing for me haha) but I still regret what I was last year. I've since made wonderful friends out of the girls I used to talk about, and they are always there for me and I them. This video made me feel so much better about it knowing that I'm not the only one, so thank you Dodie. Your music and your videos are so inspiring and meaningful, and they really do help a lot of people including me. Thank you.

I went through the same exact thing but fortunately we don't go the same school


The girl on your bus who use to carry a rainbow bag and didn't care much about washing her hair. She didn't happen to be French, have red hair and be called Tilly did she!

Emisstillonline oml i was just thinking about that lmao

Why did that remind me of Pip from South Park? It has no relation to it.


She sings good
Looks good
Draws good
Is there anything dodie can't do?

do none of y'all actually read previous comments before repeating the same reply??

diddly darn dank oofTM her sister was drawing

diddly darn dank oofTM the drawings are of her little sister's, Hedy

diddly darn dank oofTM her sister drew the drawings

hedy drew but yeah she's basically good at at everything


She, she screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Wait-ing for a sign to smash the silence with a a brick of self control

Are you locked up in a world that been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool with out a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you

She, she's figured out
That all her doubts were someone else's point of view
Wak-ing up this time
To smash the silence with a broke of self control

Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you (scream)

Are you locked up In a world that's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social took with out a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you

My entire 7th period signed a paper so we all make sure a boy in our class who gets majorly bullied is okay.
I'm really proud of that class.

where are those people at my school because we need some nicer ones over here

Awww I can relateI always make my classmates sign a piece of paper for my sister with social anxiety so that she's happier and feels like people care even though they all do


"Everyone is just a collage of their favourite parts of other people" love this video! 💗 I'm SO excited for your book! And omg Hedy is an amazing artist!


You honestly have no idea how grateful I am for this video. But while most of the comments are about how people themselves were bullied, I'm here to show a different side of the story- the bully's side.

3-4 years ago I was a bully. One of my first friends often acted like one and I copied her. I bullied one of my closest friends, disliked my first ever friend because our parents had fell out- I assumed that it was the good thing to do. Stupid assumption really. But most of the things I thought were idiotic back then.

I bullied one of my so called best friends because I was scared of losing my best friend who I'd known for four years. I also bullied another girl because she was mean to me and my so called friends one time. I've been told that she still doesn't trust me to this day and I can see why.

When I got to my final year in Primary School I looked back on those things and then looked at my current friends. I had three amazing best friends- one whom I had known for 7 years at this point. And my closest friends included two of the girls who I had bullied.

The guilt ate me alive and still does. Two of the girls often made jokes about how I used to bully them. I would laugh along and say how I was so stupid back then but I was destroying myself on the inside. I told myself I deserved it- still do in fact. But this isn't about me pitying myself, no that shouldn't happen.

Since that experience I've changed as a person and my view on life has changed as well. I'm in my first year of High School and have a group of friends- we're all really weird and crazy but that's just us and we're happy- sometimes.

I now try to see both sides of the story before not liking something or someone. I'm a lot more self concious and a generally self-loathing person but I derserve to feel the same way that they felt- even worse than how they felt.

I still beat myself up over it but this video has helped so much. While I'm not at peace with my history yet, I'm starting to realise that it doesn't define me.

Thank you so much for sharing your story Dodie Clark and thank you to whoever decided to take their time to read my stupid little self-hate rant.

You're all important and your stories should be heard. I love you all.

You don't need to hate yourself for what you've done in the past because that's not you anymore. Love yourself for having the bravery to admit you've done something wrong and change from your old self. You are all very strong.

Me too and I struggle of depression because I was being bullied a lot and I was too a bully but u swear I've changed now I pray more often and way nicer and I hate myself for bullying🔪


Something I'll never forget was in 4th grade. There was this boy named Alex who liked me and I kinda liked him too but he wasn't popular and neither was i. I'd be bullied if I hung out with him so in my mind I thought thst if I called him names around the popular kids that i wouldn't be bullied. They laughed at my jokes like when I called him a fruit loop but in the end they still made fun of me regardless. I thought I was bullied because he always tried to be around me so I tried distancing myself from him. When it came time to work in pairs he always came to me and I felt embarrassed because I didn't want the other kids to attack me for it. I realised too late that it didn't matter wether or not he was around me. I was still considered a joke. I was still made fun of. I left that school in 5th grade to never see or hear from him again. It made me realize that I shouldn't put someone else down to try to lessen what happens to me so In 5th grade through high school I didn't do that. But I was made fun of worse in high school. Never went to a single dance nor prom. My time in 5th grade to 8th was probably the worse. There was a time when a guy named Daniel got his sports heat packet taken away and when she left the room he took it back from her desk. For 2 weeks we had to stay in for recess until someone confessed. The entire grade made me say that I did it. I was then given after school detention for a week for something I didn't do. I was a new student at that point. I don't know how the teacher would've even believed that it was me because I wasn't popular, didn't talk, and was well behaved. It was my first year there soooo. I was sexually assaulted in 6th grade by a 7th grader for a few days straight in school. Someone who was kind of my friend told a teacher.  All the school did was suspend him for 2 days then he got to go back to school like it was nothing, but then when I was showing signs of depression and suicidal ideation though a poem i wrote they treated me like i was going to blow up the school. Immediately called my parents, took me out of school and wasn't going to let me come back until my therapy visits checked out. I remember when the school counselor told me to go grab my bag across the school and were telling me not to go anywhere else and to stay in their view like i was about to be a school shooter or something. But the guy who sexually assaulted me wasn't treated anywhere near that. My parents didn't even do anything about it. They just asked like twice if I was good, I said yes, and that was the end of it and it's never been brought up since. I was going through intense bullying and pulled my frustration in poems (mind you i never said I wanted to hurt anyone, I didn't. I just talked about myself) and they treated me like i was the bad guy about to explode on everyone. They didn't care about the fact that I had emotional problems. They just wanted to stereotype me and make themselves look good on record. There was the same issue in high school when I was self harming by cutting. The school notified my parents and my parents freaked out and just yelled at me for an hour and just kept telling me about how it could get them in trouble and me taken away. They didn't really care about my mental stability. They just didn't want to get in trouble for anything and they just wanted me to be normal and not have problems.  I'm 21 now and still haven't gotten help for anything I've been through. I'm even more angry and out of touch with reality. I can't get the help I need because my family doesn't get it and through the years I've never been respected by anyone enough to solve the problem. Now I just hide every negative emotion I feel. And nowadays i don't have one single friend and haven't hung out with anyone in 2 years.

That's actually horrible I'm so so sorry that you had to go through all of that alone. I know this is weird coming from someone way younger and a complete stranger on the internet but I would totally be friend with you. You are amazing and I hope you can stay strong and learn to be happy. ❤❤❤

what i think you should do is still get help. your family doesn't need to get it. you have so much more power over yourself than they have on you. you're an adult and your parents don't own you so use that advantage and do what <b>you</b> think is best for yourself, because i know you can get better.

what i think you should do is still get help. your family doesn't need to get it. you have so much more power over yourself than they have on you. you're an adult and your parents don't own you so use that advantage and do what *you* think is best for yourself, because i know you can get better.

If u truly feel this alone, I want to tell u something comforting but I know it must be hard to accept that from a stranger, who doesn't even know u. If anything, I'd recommend u get a dog. I'm being completely serious. They are so kind and loyal and they make you feel wanted, like you're the most important person in the world. They are loving and always there for u when u need them. I honestly hope that you're ok, and u should get help if u truly think that u need it. There is so much more to life. So much more that is worth living for. Don't let the scars of your past tell u otherwise, because u can't get rid of scars. U can only live with them and make the best out of the life you're living. Its been 2 months since u posted this, and I hope since then u are doing better.

Oh my god!! You’re beautiful. Nobody in the world could possibly be as strong as you. <3


I was a bully, I was insecure, my grandad had just been diagnosed with alzheimers, so I would take out my frustrations on this kid. I got my comeuppance though. I have dark hair, which means the hair on my arms and legs are more visible. My teeth are large and stick out. I was called werewolf, and ape, and i deserved it.

I became bullied. I still am, kind of, and I deserve it. I deserve it for being so mean to people, but I know exactly what Dodie means about the social awkwardness. I don't speak much among my friends, I mutter, and stutter, and trip over words, so I vow never to speak. I try not to.


HEDY IS DAMN AMAZING!!! When I first watched this I didn't know she was so young!!!!


Is anyone else soothed by her voice and the watercoloring? 😍

Cutebaby05 AJ same. Serious message. Beautiful Imagery.


I was bullied all through school- not just name calling, I mean I was pushed down stairs and had my nose broken with my favorite book ..
then a new girl came and I thought bullying her would help my chances in school.
1. bullying is never the answer
2. she's my best friend now, 8 years later


i've literally been bullied my entire life. Yes, some parts were harsher than others, but they always come back for more. The teasing went away for a short while, but then other people were bullying me,now that the other group stopped, the first group have started up again, and i know this will continue through sixth form because there are too many bullies to escape<br>, but this is my final year and despite the fact no one can or will stop the bullying, i hope i can get through it all, To anyone being bullied, please know you arent alone

If there's anything that the movie Koe No Katachi has taught me, it's that no one is perfect. Everyone is mean at some point and sometimes we hurt the most sweetest people with only the purest of intentions. The world is an incredibly unfair place.


There was a girl named Lucy in my middle school Latin class. She was, well, an easy target. Her social skills weren't up to par with everyone else's, she had an aide with her at all times, she would demand things. I remember that feeling in seventh grade of making fun of her - it was easy, it was something I could say to relate to other people in the room, to make myself one of them by moving any comments toward her. A part of me felt bad, but at the time, I didn't care.
By the time I reached high school I vowed to be better to her. It didn't mean much; she left the class after freshman year. But I remember her. She didn't deserve that.
Middle schoolers are the worst.


CAN DODIE KEEP DOING THIS CAUSE HONESTLY I COULD LISTEN TO HER SOFT VOICE READING FOREVER

I could watch/ listen to this on repeat for so long, it's so meaningful and hedy is so talented

Jacketeer : It's like ASMR but better because it's meaningful


I wish I was best friends with the girl who told stories about being magical she sounds awesome


I remember in 7th grade, i was bullied. I was bullied by one of my best friends friend, i never knew why she hated me so much. She would call me names as i walked by her, or just straight up say it in my face. Because of her, i was diagnosed with depression and felt like i wasn't worth anything. Eventually the bullying had stopped and she had apologized to me in 8th grade, which i knew was a fake apology. I remember after she had "apologized" i ran out of the area i was in, and ran to the bathroom and cried. Behind my back she had asked her friends why i didn't accept the apology, and said she wanted to fight me. To this day i'm still afraid she might bully me again. She has sorta been nicer to me, but i know she has been threw some things in her past but i just wanted to finally get it off my chest. thank you to whoever has read the whole thing.


This was absolutely beautiful, Dodie. Don't laugh, but It made me cry. i love your video and your voice. also, ive aready pre-ordered your book, i cant wait to read it and i will comment on it when im done. Thank you for your time.


I dont get bullied as much, and havent really been since elementary school. Even then, it didnt happen often, but once i got to middle school, it all pretty much went away. I had more self confidence, and i was friends with the nice popular girls, and had a prety wide-spread friend group, as well as my extremly reliable online group. I have also been a bully, but its moslty just things i say in my head or under my breath. But i do talk about people behind their backs, and it stems from my social anxiety and the feeling of needing to be included.


i started reading a part in dodies book and i just thought ‘huh, this sounds really familiar!’ so i looked up this video and it was just a mini audiobook session and it made me happy


I got the book for Christmas today, and it was one of the best gifts I got, and I got lots of wonderful things. I read along while you talked, and your other stories inspire me SO much. I'm going to celebrate Christmas with family that is a good couple hours away, and I will definitely bring this book with. I love the cover, and I think my favorite story is the one about hedy, and 'fame.' I love every word, picture, and page in this book, and I love that you took the time to write it. I hope you have a very merry Christmas, Dodie! Again, thank you for all the wonderful things you have done.


I remember reading this part in her beautiful book, so many of her stories have stuck with me, and helped me, I have re read her book numerous amounts of times, and always skim over my favourite paragraphs. I love you dodie😌 (also Hedy is an incredible artist)


I used to be outgoing like the rainbow backpack girl. I would wear a thick rainbow headband and a cute fox hat. I had a few problems that I already tried to leave behind, but that never stopped me from wearing what I wanted. Every day I heard people calling me names like "furry" (and furries aren't bad people, or kept calling me gay and teasing saying other things like, "Where's your girlfriend?",  but they brought things further... to worse levels. I was teased, called names, and every now and then I would call my mum to take me home. About a year later, I wore a dark grey sweatshirt. No one noticed me much anymore, yet I still heard people mumble things like, "Isn't she that one girl from last year?" To the next note, I had two really close friends to me. One was way to conceited and bragged a ton, but I still love her and the other was a quiet person I never listened to when I wish I had. These people made me feel more powerful... outgoing again. Till one day, I felt I had power over them. Due to my stupid actions, I lost them. My actions still somewhat haunt me, but every now and then I see them around and I dearly miss them. I felt that my story closely relates to yours. Not quite the same, but you reminded me of it. You're a great person and I learned to not let anyone tell you lesser.

There is a girl in my school that has a massive crush on me, and everyone tells her to die because she's gay. But I totally accept her.. and to be honest..  I like her too.. this is why I hang out with her so much and defend her even though most of the time she's defending me.

It's been a year we are getting better thanks:) happy ryland 1 million

Aww, I'm sorry for your loss. I hope everything's getting better. Happy Garret 1 Million. :')))

This is personal but my cousin actually commited suicide and it left us all horrified. Please just watch Shane or ryland or dodie and have a nice laugh. I don't want anyone getting hurt :') happy Shane 12 million

Nice name, but I've already tried.   :')

Nice name, but I've already tried.   :')


Hedy is an amazing illustrator omg. also this was beautiful


the key to stop bullying is to just be funny (literally)
like in middle school this girl bullied me all the time
and he said something stupid "I hate your face"
then I actually said back to her "well I love yours sweet cheeks" (I was weird okay)
and everybody busted out laughing
but she had nothing to say back to me :3

and it works because they only bully you to see you get upset so just don't get upset

no not really, I tried it in 6th grade and came home with a bruise and broken glasses


Throughout the whole video I thought dodie was the one drawing and I was like, "wow, how can there be so much talent in one family?" But then she said it was drawn by Hedy. 😂 They're still both very talented.


Moral of the story: A bully can change if they choose to


I was bullied from primary school literally non stop until I was around 16. I was too smart, the teachers pet, I was weird, a freak, the other kids would refuse to play with me, one kid choked me, one kid said I had a disease and informed everyone not to touch me, and they listened. They had a petition they all wrote on for me to kill myself. I felt on the outside, I felt I was only in my friend group out of pity and I found it really difficult to make friends and keep them. I found out why years later. I have autism, sure it's not the only reason but a big part of why I am the way I am. I had believed what others said about me for so long that now it's ingrained in me. Even if I know it's not true, some part inside doesn't. I'd like to say I'm 100% better now but I'm not. I'm human and we all have our own struggles but I'm working on it.

Calvin McLaughlin I'm picked on a bit at the moment, and as a really socially awkward, incredibly shy person, I can't stand up for myself. Also everyone calls me teachers pet behind my back. My name is shouted over the class really loudly, and to some they take it in their stride, but for me its the most humiliating thing ever!! My self esteem and confidence is plummeting. I am now wondering why this is, and think it could be that I possibly have Asperger's. How did you find out, and do you have any advice!!? Thanks!! ❤

Calvin McLaughlin Omg it's Calvin from Kelly's channel. HI


WE NEED MORE AUDIOS OF DODIE READING!! this video helps me get to sleep i find dodies voice so soothing!


Aaaah!! I knew Hedy did the illustrations! I just felt it! I'm so proud, she does so good! I loved the story and I hope to have the money to purchase your book someday!!


This was such an inspirational video and I have been bullied, I haven’t been a bully so I can’t relate. I’m asking for your book for my Birthday so I can read it, I’m really looking forward to reading it. 💕🌸


please please please do an entire audio book! your voice is so soothing to me and this video is one of my favorites ever!


They should honestly show this in schools; this is beautiful.

Literal gonna send this to my form teacher lol


Hedy is an amazing artist!! I hope she sticks to it. She's incredible!!


Omg Hedy is amazing at drawing and I'm so happy you shared this story with us Dodie! Love you both!


Omg I am literally crying. She writes so beautifully! I am SO excited for the book, if it's half as good as this video!  Also, omg Hedy is so good at art it's unbelievable.


"...until I secretly became a collage of my favorite parts of other people."

What a beautiful yet utterly heart-breaking line.


at first i was like 'wow dodie can draw really well' and then i noticed the hands were a bit too small for dodie hands and i literally screamed 'OH ITS HEDY'

toilet brush You are literally making fun of a disorder where people suffer from it therefore it is normal for people to stand up for it. "Welcome to life and the Internet so don't get butt hurt" is a poor comeback. Think harder for the next one lol. 😂

omg i was just thinking wow i didn't know dodie could draw i didn't even realise the hand size hahaha

Ooooh i'm starstruuuck, oooh no gravity for us <3

Claire Feather OH MY GOSH ITS HEDY????!!!!!??!?? omg. IM STARSTRUCK!

Claire Feather I actually knew it was hedy cause of dodies snapchats yesterday about how hedy was working for her bebe


Can we just appreciate for a second how good she is at painting like OMG 💚


people hated me for having heterochromia cause one day my bully ripped off my eyepatch saying like "why do you always wear that stupid eyepatch?" People started calling me <b>weird eye freak</b> but hey my friend told me to ignore them and i did i wouldnt be here if i never met my friend Anyway thanks for reading all of my blabbing heh ( ik my english is bad sorry)

I've always found heterochromia to be so cool and beautiful! Embrace the differences. They're too blind to see the beauty

What colours are your eyes? (If you don't mind me asking)

What the actual frickydizzle are they talking about. Heterochromia is actually the coolest thing ever!

Ninja Midnight heterochromia is hella cool. Keep being you and embrace yourself for who you are!


omg I had NO IDEA Hedy drew those pictures!! wowowow she did an amazing job :) well done hedy 💜


What a beautiful collage of art and philosophy - thank you for this :)


I teared up a bit. I used to be one of the girls with a rainbow bag. Hearing you say those things gave me some sort of feeling of closure, even if the people who laughed at me were others. I hope she sees this because it's beautiful and so reassuring.<br>Thank you for creating this, both to you and your beautifully talented sister. I love this video <3

I used to be what Dodie was. People would make fun of me, so to try to fit in, I kinda picked on this one kid a bit. Looking back at it, I feel so horrible and hope they know, somehow, that it was not their fault and there isn't anything they should fix about themselves. It was me that I needed to fix. I guess why this video hit me so hard.


Currently being bullied, something I never thought I would have to deal with. I dread going to school and haven't figured out how to continue going, since it's all my old friends who have turned against me - I have almost no one left. I still have the rest of year 12 and the whole of year 13 before I can get away, and you can be sure as shit that if one of them is going to my uni I'm going to go to a different one.

Hey,  I'm not sure if you'll read this since your comment is a month old, but I just wanted to say you'll get through it. I know those two years seem a lifetime away, but they'll come soon enough. High school/secondary school depending on what you call it is not much like real life. I'm finally a senior in high school (year 13) and I've never had too many friends. I don't dress as nice as everyone else, I don't have much money for a person in my area, and I'm a bit too 'different.' I've had to deal with my share of bullying but something I've realized along the line is: it doesn't matter. Sure, it hurts and they should not be doing it, but none of it will matter soon enough. The people who really matter will stick by you, and anyone else who doesn't was never worth it in the first place. You'll meet new people in uni, and in life itself that will love you for you. Those people who've bullied you won't matter and you'll end up stronger than they'll ever be. You are lovable, you are loved, and you'll be okay. Just keep your chin up, finish school, and never stop being yourself. No matter what anybody else says.


I needed this. Thank you, Dodie. I was bullied severely when I started secondary school, to the point that I hid myself away from everyone and rarely spoke to people about what was happening to me. There actually came a time when a group of people came up to me and smashed my head into a lamppost because I was getting the same bus as them. No one did anything to help me, instead they laughed and jeered at me because they wanted to fit in. I didn't retaliate because my mum always told me to be strong, and I tried my best. Hearing this made me realize that I'm not alone, so I thank you Dodie. Thank you.


Hedy your illustration was absolutely beautiful, you've developed such a style for yourself and at such a young age! Brilliant work never stop learning new techniques and styles in illustration, you're amazingly talented!


Welp, we can't all be perfect. We were all bullied and we all did something like bullying- you had the courage to tell the world!  atlest you aren't

"I was perfect. They hated me for it! I loved everyone! I never did anything wrong!"

You are.

"I was bullied- but I did the same. I am just as bad,"

You are very brave.


To the girl with the rainbow bag ~ you're just like all of us, except you chose to be yourself for you and didn't change for anyone else.

Got to say, i'm probably the equivlanet of the rainbow bag girl, except i had a black bag with patches, as did other kids in my class and as do many people now. I have always, always been myself. I like what I like and I do what I want to do. I'm 24 and all but one of my childhood friends has left me.<br>It's liberating to be yourself but my god it's lonely sometimes.

It's liberating to be yourself but my god it's lonely sometimes.

I felt like the rainbow might symbolize being part of the LGBT and thus, the story kinda symbolizes a child who chose to be herself being bullied, but I know that's not true according to the story. Nonetheless, it was a really great story to put you in bed or just for listening, thank you Dodie, for spending your time making awesome videos 😌.

I have sudden urge to cry after listening to the vid and reading this comment

doddlevloggle Thank you Dodie, I love you so much!

doddlevloggle. We all have those bumps in the road. Some harder than others. And some could make that road all messed up. We're here for you. All your wonderful fans. And believe me. Your videos help. They make us happy, or sad, or even upset because of what other people did to you. But what's important is that even though all of this. You stand, and even though you might fall. You get back up, no matter how long it takes.

Your fans love you.
See you in the next video.


I have finally just pre-ordered this! Thank you thank you thank you!! You are the most inspirational person and strongest person I have ever seen! You never fail to amaze me! Keep smiling! :D xxx


I'm SOO in love with hedy's illustrations, like for real, how can such a young girl have such a talent when i'm sitting here being 19 and cant do anything right :D <3


you are so brave and wonderful for doing this, dodie. it shows how far you've come and how much you've learnt, and i'm so proud of you. <3


I was bullied in second grade by a girl called Chelsea but I under stand why she didn't get to live with her parents which makes a huge effect of sadness in your life but I don't under stand why she flick paint water in my eye (paint that is in water) and I didn't like the class put all attention on me :(


Both of you have this chilling, aesthetically pleasing way with any form of artistry.


Awww, this art style is adorable! And the aesthetic of the wood with the watercolor is just 👌<br>Great story too of course 😊 Thanks for sharing and being so open 💕

Great story too of course 😊 Thanks for sharing and being so open 💕


I am actually going through what you used to, I'm glad you shared this. This definitely helped. I just hope the bullying will staph.


Thanks for sharing! I just found you're channel and I'm so glad I did! P.s Time to go on the hunt for you're new book, looks lovely! 😘


I love how pretty this is. I might really want to paint this good. Hedy is a talent powerhouse.


Dear the girl with the rainbow backpack,

I'm sorry for what you went through and I hope that you look back on the moments where the laughter felt the worst and you smile because you know that you got past that. I hope that you are living a good life and are surrounded by people that accept you. dodie sends the same wishes and she can sympathize with what you went through, even though she was part of your pain. I hope you still have the backpack and that you still dream big, because no matter the hardships, fantasizing can always help. I hope that there were people there to help you. I hope that you are happy and content and well. People get bullied because they are different. You were different. But different is strong.

Is there nothing that hedy and dodie can't do between them? They're so talented! ❤


Bloody hell, this was amazing. I was the male version of this experience and still feel guilt for anyone I may have upset then too.

I feel even more inspired to start own vlogs, as part of my own healing process, based on the back of watching this video.


Thanks for this wonderful story, it asks for sympathy and when you hear stories like these you understand the motive. Have a nice day :)


Beautiful job, dodie and hedy! Brought me to tears!


You are so sweet... I'm so glad I get to know you in some way even if only online. Cute story Dodie and beautiful paintings Hedy!


you should do an audiobook thing where you read your book because your voice is sooo nice to listen to its so calming

river song ;) ayyy nice dw reference in your name and also same i love dodie's voice lol


This was truly inspirational. And your voice was so calming, soft, and sweet. I feel as if I am the girl with the rainbow bag in other cases. This made me cry tears of joy. Thank You.


This was really relatable, thank you dodie<3


Thank you for this. This was so healing.... (trigger warning extreme bullying and suicidal thoughts). The bullying in elementary drew me into trying to end myself in my third grade class. My bully was sitting next to me telling me horrible things. Trying to make me believe things about the future of me and my mom. When she saw that I was choking myself with an extreme enthusiasm and without a thought of having a limit, she pleaded me to stop. She was crying. I continued. The teacher must have done something. Thinking back about it, maybe she was bullied too. Doesn't justify. But it helps bring closure and to understand that it wasn't because I did wrong. I openly loved things I liked too. Maybe she was mad about that freedom. If she was abused too....because my mom saw that the girl's mom always seemed....off...only if the girl knew that we both were being tortured at home. Maybe we could have helped each other heal. Maybe we did....She taught me that hurt people do bad things. I taught her that actions have consequences that may be permanent.


the story was amazing!! and ur sisters drawing skills are just wow!😍


this is absolutely one of the best stories. down to earth and real. i'm proud to be a fan of yours, and i'm really happy you are able to own up to your mistakes.


Thanks Dodie for posting this really amazing video, it's really great that you spoke out about both sides of bullying and I'm sure most people can relate to all sides of the people in your story.


Love the drawings :) you're story really resonated with me... good luck for the future.


watching this for the third time, and i tear up every time.


Love this! And to the girl with the rainbow bag, I hope you still have a little bit of that little girl in you, the little girl who didn't really wash her hair, told stories of magic and fairy's and carried around a rainbow bag... ❤


i love listening to you talk. your voice just soothes me and make me feel calm.


This story touched my heart 💛 I CANT WAIT TO READ UR BOOK!


This is a really amazing story and hedy is an amazing artist. Also your voice is h e a v e n l y with headphones <3


Oh my gosh Hedy's drawing style is so beautiful!! I might try to do something like that (if she doesn't mind of course :3)


Why am I crying?!!😫 my new favourite quote: everyone is just a collage of their favourite people

I LITERALLY FLIPPING READ THIS AS SHE SAID IT WHY DOES THAT HAPPEN

no one probably cares but, I thought that it was bad and I felt that I was copying them...

Maddy Anna often not expressed as only personality traits

Maddy Anna i think matt bellamy said something like that once too 😊

ikr.  like, it's so true when u rlly think about it though.  and then from the different parts of other people,  we make new characteristics, which make us into who we are.

Kinda sad but also so real and beautiful.

I literally paused to write it down because I loved it so much.


i like to come back to this video when i feel sad, and it makes me feel better. thank you dodie for making me feel happy x x


After watching your videos, I often feel so relaxed and comfortable! Your videos are relatable, your songs are lovely and you just encourage me to always be kind. Thank you <3


I've been really struggling to ~find myself~ recently and the part where you said "I felt guilty about that for a while, until I realized that everyone is just a collage of their favorite parts of other people." Wow. Thank you. That one sentence is really what I needed.


And look at you now, dear. You've come so far, and I can say I relate to you in a lot of ways. You're an inspiration to many and a joy to listen to.


I used to copy people's clothes, the way they did their makeup and even their gestures and the way they speak etc. all throughout my life and i still feel guilty about it but i can't help myself because i was so insecure and i still am

Ive been doing that lately but small things from my favorite celebrities like how they bite their lip or lick thwir lips

Hey everyone probably does it mine is probably worse I used to watch tv so much my accent changed, but sometimes it makes you feel better to "copy" other people. if I didn't do that I wouldn't have become the person I am today. I like to do stupid and dumb things that make people think I'm absolutely insane and it's the funniest thing ever <b>i basically laugh at my own stupid jokes lmao</b>

frank iero and the piløts at the disco I like your username

I speak exactly like my friend. It isn't on purpose we're just around each other so much I picked up on it. It's weird.

I relate. I copy the ways my friends speak. They don't seem to notice, but sometimes I realize I am and try my best to act like myself. This is a problem for me since I have one friend that I'm super confident being weird with and joking around and not caring what others think. Then I have a friend that's quiet. Shy. And talks in a deep voice. I act more like myself with the first friend. However I'm getting better at "being myself" and I'm beginning to stop immitating less and less. I hope this shows people who do the same as I do that you don't have to act like your friends for them to like you. That was my mistake.

I did the same because I don't have creativity

It's natural to imitate the gestures and language of those around you.. for example your parents. If you think about it, you make a lot of the same facial gestures.

+stell la you think it's 'traumatic' to have someone copying you? I feel much more sympathy for the one copying as they are not confident enough to be themselves.

stell la not at all, i completely understand where you're coming from! i didn't think of it that way. however, i do think that guilt is a wasted emotion and she's learned from it. what matters now is we lift each other up and learn to be comfortable in our own skin. i totally agree with you on that. :)

+emma campbell not to be mean, but she should feel guilty because it's traumatic to have someone else copy you and try to be you. She wasn't just "drawing inspiration" from others. However she understands that she was wrong; which is good. Hopefully she'll be less insecure as time goes by and she won't plagarize other people anymore. We all make mistakes, what matters is how we learn from them.

Omg that weird girl from cheese in the trap? Lol you should read the manhwa called cheese in the trap. The main character was a victim of this. You'll be able to understand how the other person feels and hopefully you'll be less insecure and won't cooy other people anymore. :) webtoon has the manhwa with english translations or odd squad.

ipek iero i totally relate to this. easier said than done, but don't feel guilty. you were drawing inspiration from other people and figuring out who you were. what's important now is that you love yourself and build your own, strong, beautiful person! but i have a feeling you're already all of those things. :)


I've been bullied, but once, I've been a bully too. It wasn't horrible, but because I wanted to fit in I turned on one of my good friends. It was in year ONE, YEARS AGO and even though she accepted my apology and what not, I STILL feel horrible. I If I could go back in time, I'd undo that. But now, I'm one of the kindest people out there and I know things would have been different if I undid that. I wish we got closer ( I moved away for a two years then came back ) when I returned, and now I always wear the burden of bullying her, even if it was not even a full lunchtime I did. I'm sorry again, Hope.

( As I mentioned above, that was a one time thing. Never again do I ever, EVER want to do it again. I've learned from that one mistake and would rather jump off a cliff then bully. Please do not attack me. Thank you Dodie, because of this video you too have made me feel confident sharing this personal experience. I usually get to ashamed to talk about it but this video helped me.)

Same,But I was peer pressured into bullying and I regret being friends with them then they started to change me into a bad person now I realize all my wrong actions and have changed my peer group now I sit with nice people. And I was also being bullied a lot at school because I was too thin and people would often take advantage of that but I ignore them now. Now I'm way nicer

ClearFlower you. Are. Me.  I did the exact same thing ONCE and I regret it more than anything

I think the person who was bullied gets to decide how serious it was and whether they felt it was bullying or not but I understand

I wasn't a serious bully though. It wasn't even for a whole little kid lunchtime. I only consider it bullying because my desire to fit in and be welcomed ignored the victim wanting my friend and I to stop. I feel really bad about it though and would NEVER do ANYTHING relating to bullying again.

oh and you "won't try to change my mind"? you say that like my mind should be changed 🤔 or maybe i'm reading too much into this

anyway i doubt youre gonna reply to my comments anymore so have a good one

Popcorn Wolf interesting that you feel like you wasted my time. i thought you seemed very nice and had good points on the subject but i understand if you don't want to have a conversation about this like i would have loved to hear more about your views on the subject but if you don't want to i understand. have a good day/evening/night

L. L. I understand that and won't try to change your mind. You have your views, I have mine.

I'm sorry for wasting your time.

Popcorn Wolf i don't buy that whole thing about bullies having it bad at home or something tragic that changed them and made them bully other people

like im sure a whole lot of them had it like that but bullies are actually more confident and they tend to have it all together. for most of my bullies it was like this. they had fun picking up on me. i was literally just a joke.

and i appreciate that people are trying to make up for the past but if my bullies came to me with an apology i don't think i'd be ready to forgive

and a lot of the time the reason kids get bullied is because there's something different about them. it's not always about the bully themselves having a tragic past or being jealous of the kid they're bullying. people who act or look or talk different get bullied because kids are conditioned to think these are bad features.

for example i took everything literally and i didn't quite understand people's humor and i got easily obsessed with stuff like comics and i was uncomfortable doing group work - as you may have guessed these are common features in autistic kids. and people love to make fun of autism. now i don't think i am actually autistic but there is definitely something different going on in my head like i've just always known it. anyway on top of all this i always tried to please everyone which was apparently a very annoying feature to have!! and all my friends were members of the opposite gender which doesnt sound bad at all now that i'm a lot older but at the time it was something to make fun of :/

and idk about you but in my country people use the word "autistinen" (it means autistic as you may have guessed) to describe people that are annoying, disliked and weird. kind of how in english people use the word "gay" as an adjective to describe things they don't like (other quite a commonly used word is r*tarded)

 it is no coincidence that people who differ from the norm are bullied. its the result of systematic oppression rather than the tragic backstory of the class bully - even though i admit it does play a part (one of my bullies really seemed to have it rough at home and all his friends seemed troubled too but for the most part my bullies were just enjoying life tbh)

and again i'd like to say i appreciate that people are trying to make up for the bullying but it is no coincidence why yall picked certain people to bully and why everyone else thought it was funny too. i think people kind of unconsciously pick out the "annoying" and "weird" kids without realizing why exactly they think the features these kids have are annoying and weird. like im not trying to call anyone out i just feel like its good to acknowledge this.

L. L. It's not easy at all. You think about it and think about how you could have affected that person. You destroy yourself because of it and you want to make yourself feel the pain that person felt.

But instead you try to be a good person. You try to make sure that no one feels that way- even people who hate you and bully you.

When you first bully someone you don't do it for fun. There's always a proper motivation. For me it was that I wanted to stay friends with the "cooler kids". Other people do it because something bad is happening at their home.

While it is a bad way to cope with things and the bullies aren't completely innocent- people like this person are trying to make up for their past.

I understand if you don't get it, I only get it because I have been the bully and know what you feel when you realise what you've done.

Popcorn Wolf still like i could not stand the thought of making someone feel bad for merely existing...yall must have known thats how you made them feel? how do you cope with that

L. L. I think they were bullied after they actually bullied this person but I can't be sure.

i just don't understand why you would do that when you know what it's like... idk about yall but being bullied made me wanna fight every bully in existence.. like i'm glad you learned from your mistakes but still

SwaggyGal Msp Hey, I understand that you're having a hard time right now but that doesn't mean that you can call someone else out. I've been a bully in the past and I've tried to redeem myself- so many people have gone through this exact experience. Just because something bad is currentlly happening to you doesn't mean you can hurt someone else.

That makes you become the bully.

I do sincerely hope it gets better though. Best wishes :)

Thank you so much, you're right - it won't do me any good if I feel guilty 24/7.

Don't be ashamed. It was a mistake and you've learnt from it. I understand where you're coming from. Don't let the guilt eat you, it's okay to feel it but don't let it eat you. Move on a try to rebuild a friendship.

~A random girl on the internet


This is such a beautiful video ❤❤❤ thank you for so elequantly describing anxiety, insecurity, growth, individuality and bravery. Truly inspiring and made me smile in that way of relief when someone understands


This vid actually made me tear up a little. Love your videos dodie <3


Thanks for this video ♥ I used to be bullied, pretty badly by my best friend until about the second year into high school, luckily I had supportive people in my life and managed to step away from that 'friendship' we are both doing better now and I'm so glad things went the way they did ♥


being beautiful isn't always about the shoes you wear or the way your coat looks. it's about admitting to your past faults and experiences and being able to come to terms with them. im really proud of you dodie

CourtneysNoneExistingLife    I completely agree.

Beauty can be about outward complexion yes just as long as that doesn't shadow the more important things like personality and etc...


I love your art style! I'd love to see you draw more!


Everyone is just a collage of their favorite parts of other people. I love that. We can't be likable to everyone and not to everyone. Seems like it always lies somewhere in between.


this was beautiful ❤ I thought you were drawing until i reached the end of the video when you said it was Hedy lol


the drawings are sooo adorable! the style is cute! <3


it's really brave of you to admit the fact that you bullied someone, i appreciate that.


I was a bully for a bit when i was 10 and i nearly got expelled so I've definitely learnt my lesson!<br>Don't do bullying,kids.

Don't do bullying,kids.


This is amazing, dodie 😢 reminds you to always be yourself or you will regret it when you grow older x


fake acceptance. in primary school i used to be friends with a group of girls who'd call me a smart ass if i used longer words than they were used to. it brought down my confidence so much, but i stayed with them, they were the popular girls who'd hang out by the bins before school, run through the corridors at lunch and i ran with them. they'd laugh at the smarter, more out there girls in my class, calling them geeks and nerds and would say the same to me if i showed interest in them. if i didn't join in i'd be ridiculed, not just by the girls but by the boys who thought they were amazing. i was never like them, small and beautiful, i am 5"9 and uncomfortable. but they are now also the girls in high school who drink vodka at the beach at 3 in the afternoon. i don't run with them anymore, i stopped after the amounts of times i fell. they tripped me up but never had the time to help me back up again. so no i do not drink at the beach but i do hug my best friend of two years and laugh with them and feel safe and beautiful and happy. thank you dodie.

Planetary Immy <br>THATS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AND STILL IS TO ME RIGHT NOW

Planetary Immy
THATS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AND STILL IS TO ME RIGHT NOW

jessica badhan it was seen as cool idk either

im sorry and your comment is amazing but they hung around the bins lol


This was actually the first video I saw from dodie. Now she is my favorite youtuber and I own her book.


"Everyone is a collage of their favourite parts of other people" dodie this literally planted something inside of me and gave me a new perspective. When I'm feeling down this way of thinking always makes me smile :)


wow, this is beautiful. it completely describes my life and expierience with both bullying and being bullied. it affects you still years after it happens and the struggle to speak up in conversations and feel lovable is soooo fucking true


I love her voice I wish she did audio books💗


When I first started watching dodie I was not in a good mind set. I was a very weird child so I often got bullied by it. But then there was this girl who started hanging out with me... I finally realized 6 months later that I was in love with her. I would always hang out with her and call her and then one day she showed me one of dodies videos and I fell in love with them now I love dodie and her. There are still some people out there that will make stupid little comments about my hair or acne but as long as I have dodie and my love I will always be able to get past it. Please if your getting bullied tell someone I know it might not seem like anyone's there for you but right when you least expect it you'll meet someone and you will no longer be alone. Oh yea me and that girl are dating now and watch dodies videos together. And all because we were to weird children who needed a friend.❤❤

Luckyyy id never be able to date my crush. He's one of my friends, so I'm kind of scared to ruin that if i get rejected. I'm also extremely introverted so that's no help at all

I ship to many people awww that's the loveliest story xx

i ve seen your comments twice now..... and they are both amazing!

Awwwwww this is the cutest story I have ever read <3

I ship to many people Awe, that's so cute. <3

I ship to many people immigrants! #beverlynaidoo

your story really moved me, i hope that you and this lovely person will stay together and live happily for a long time 💛

cece x I wish I could hug you. You are a great person. Thank you from everyone he offended and you stood up for. You deserve a medal 😂❤

davey Crockett i was responding to a point you made, and never mentioned older women, that was you ? the equal rights i was talking about were between the hetero and queer. why should heteros be allowed to love who they love but lgbtq+ people can't ? why does it bother you so much ? this is the conversation i was trying to have, YOU changed it, not me.

davey Crockett when did this turn to feminism ? equal rights doesn't just refer to men/women, and I wasn't even talking about that so im not going to discuss this. you legit just completely changed the subject. im talking about letting people be who they want to be. also, my grandmother was depressed. and my mum. so am i. people have been depressed at every point in history so don't even go into that.

davey Crockett every generation has it's issues. there were good points of the past, but also terrible ones. it's called nostalgia, my friend. we remember the good in the past but always think we have it worse right now, which isn't necessarily true in all aspects of life.<br>and you're talking about focussing on issues that "aren't important" such as equal rights, then why don't you just let these people live and go raise money for people overseas ? why are in this comment section right now undoing work done in a movement that we wouldn't even need to spend time on if people like YOU didn't exist ?

davey Crockett
1. i did lol but sure
2. that's cos they were FAKING IT. do you honestly think a smile means someone's happy ? you cannot tell what someone's life was like by a photograph. we all know the media only show what they want us to see, just nowadays honesty is becoming more socially acceptable.
3. they're not bragging about their identity by talking about it through social media ? they're helping others understand that what they feel is okay. sexuality is not a choice. seeing a picture of amber rose cannot turn someone lesbian. nothing can turn someone lesbian. something can make someone realise they are, but it isn't possible to change someone's sexuality.

davey Crockett okay so if you want to get all sciencey pal here u go.<br>homosexuals are actually essential for the survival of many species. this is because when heterosexual parents died or abandoned their offspring, the homosexual couples would adopt and raise them, whereas heterosexual couples wouldn't as they were able to reproduce themselves. homosexuality exists in over 1500 species. homophobia only exists in one: humans.

davey Crockett can you not just accept that we're happy the way we are, you're apparently happy the way you are, and move on? It's not hurting you, so don't hurt us with your snide comments and rude remarks.

Valeria ibanez I'm sorry that really sucks.:(

davey Crockett you have you  opinion and I have mine I love my girlfriend just like you probably love someone. It's 2017 everyone can love whoever they want to. I wouldn't go up to you and say straight people are fucking disgusting because there not. I don't care who you like or marry as long as your a good person. Tearing someone down just because of who they love is not ok. But you can have your opinion but just don't be mean about it. What if you said that to someone who was suicidal and they were so done with hearing that , that they killed them selves. And all they needed was a friend how bad would you feel. And there are PLENTY of lesbian couples that stay together for there entire life so I don't know where you got the idea there is none.I just wanted to say that even though you commented something quite mean I hope you have a nice day.

davey Crockett okay look. I disagree STRONGLY with your comment and I understand that you are entitled to your opinion and it's not my job to tell you what's wrong or right or try to change your mind, but I do have the right to give you my opinion on this and maybe give you a new perspective on stuff. Anyone can love anyone. And sure your heterosexual and you feel a strong attraction to men or women depending on your gender. But is their someone in your life who means SOO much to you that is the same gender as you?? You might even say you LOVE them? Just not sexually? Well I could tell you that's wrong but you can't help it, you love this person and I don't have the right to tell you who you should and shouldn't love. That's my opinion and maybe I gave you a new perspective on stuff.

davey Crockett I disagree, there are MANY married lesbian couples that live happy together. You just haven't seen them.

davey Crockett EURGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH<br>People shouldn't dictate who others are allowed to love that's just wrong.

davey Crockett EURGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

davey Crockett *throws clocks at you bc you need to get with the times*

You're so strong. I wish I had the courage to tell my crush that I like her. But I cant bc unfortunately, she likes someone else...

I ship to many people I'm very happy for you two ♡

This almost made me cry. (I'm just emotionally unstable)

Dreadgroundhog4 I like your profile picture too 😂

This was so sweet and nice. Thanks for sharing. Also, I love your profile picture :)

Clare // aww thanks and it makes me happy that your happy 😊

I ship to many people this was literally so sweet, and it brightened my day so thank you :) and I'm so happy for you

milkybags awww thanks I'm the happiest I've ever been right now and hopefully my girlfriend is too.

this was so pleasant to read!!! i hope you two are very happy because i'm happy that you're happy!!!!!!!!


I’m getting bullied for a long time. I want to talk about it with my friends and family but evertime I mention it they say I should ignore it or say something about it to them. But that’s easier said than done. I tried talking to my student counselor because I thought maybe she would understand, but she said it wasn’t that bad and if it was she would have seen it. Everyday I’m scared to go back to school. Scared of what they will say or do. Scared of things getting worse. Of losing people. Scared my friends would agree with the bullies and bully me too. I am going to an other school this year but instead of being glad I won’t see those bullies again, I am scared of getting bullied again.


are we going to talk about how beautiful the illustrations are?! holy heck Hedy is filled with talent


I was bullied and I was also a bully. I could relate to this video on so many levels. Thank you for sharing this with the world. ✌🏽❤


I love you so much!! I'm so excited for your book to come out, I can't wait to get it!!!


Patricia Santana 😏😏😏😏 references, references

Mildchilddd :p Practice? Or maybe she's born with the talent OR maybe it's maybeline


I just wanna say that her "Everyone is just a collage of their favourite parts of other people" has made me feel okay with myself, more than she could imagine. I've always felt wrong for copying and letting myself be influenced by the rest, but this, and reading many comments that relate to it, made me look at it from another perspective. I've got a lot of thinking to do now <3


I have never related so much, to every single word of a video. Thank you so much for sharing this.


Oh goodness my heart aches, it was like you'd read
from my own childhood memoirs! Although I don't think I bullied anyone as directly as this, I'm sure I did socially exclude or neglect other kids which is just as shitty.
Highly recommend John Green's video "On Middle School Misery" - heart wrenchingly honest.


I have a duck bag and people keep quacking at me :(
I try not to be sad or annoyed though because I love my bag and it means a lot to me because my old best friend (who moved away to Pakistan with no way for me to contact her) had one.
Thank you for listening to my story...

Tasmin Loganberry it's probably a joke so I would stop taking it as an insult

DUDE, where can I get that duck back, that sounds amazing

DUDE, where can I get that duck back, that sounds amazing

Tasmin Loganberry you are a beautiful person, people shouldn't treat you like that at all, if I were you I would just ignore them or point out how disgusting and fucking ugly they are. Don't worry I am here and I love you ♥♥♥

Tasmin Loganberry i used to have a cute bag with cat ears and every now and then people would say pussy over and over again behind me, it made me uncomfortable at the time and i didn't understand why my friends would laugh when i told them but looking back now and it was only about 2 years ago i find it hilarious

Tasmin Loganberry just be like "GOT A PROBLEM WITH MY DUCK BAG? DEAL WITH IT!" stay strong Hawiting!!

Tasmin Loganberry <br>It's ok fellow ARMY we're here for you

Tasmin Loganberry da'aww that's so cute honey! Keep on being you!

Tasmin Loganberry da'aww that's so cute honey! Keep on being you!

Tasmin Loganberry I have been trying to find a duck bag or any animal I'm jelly of u!!!!

Tasmin Loganberry It's okay at least you have family (us ARMY) and just tell those bullies to be quiet and that they have no jams (jk but seriously it's okay we're all here for you :))

Well I'm Afraid That I'm sorry that they do that (I love mcr too it has helped me a lot) but people asking if you cut often is terrible but stay strong because I would love a backpack like that

Dude i LOVE cute animal bags I have a fluffy dog/wolf bag that has a hood (the hood is the head) and it's the best thing I've ever had if you just stay proud of your back and don't let people make fun of the bag. Maybe next time they quack you can quack back. Someone once said to me "haha did you kill that dog" I answered "yes I went all the way to the woods and shot an innocent wolf just to create a back pack" haha they didn't have anything to say.<br>I did have to get a new bag though because the back pack straps keep on slipping. I wanted to get a really bright bag to hurt people's eyes when I walk in the halls. If it wasn't that I would have made it my duty to get that bag that's covered in bells (I love annoying people indirectly)

Tasmin Loganberry they're  just jealous because  your bag is better

Tasmin Loganberry be proud that your backpack is something unique and when someone quacks at you again just ignore them or try to laugh it off

Next time someone quacks at you don't be sad. Just be happy because you have a cooler backpack then them.

I would love a duck backpack.

Tasmin Loganberry lol, i have a friend who looks like a duck because of his lips so we quack at him when we see like a duck figure. hes also the tallest guy in our classroom lol.

Hey! I live in Pakistan too! I feel really sorry for you because sometimes these little things are the memories left of loved ones.. I hope you two get to see each other someday ☺

Just simply don't care, when I moved to a new secondary school, I used to get bullied, although I wasn't bullied harshly. I just laughed with the "bullies" and they simply didn't bully me anymore, now I'm friends with one of them and in good relations with the others

Tasmin Loganberry I love ducks they're adorable!

Tasmin Loganberry just say, "you want some bread for that scabby mouth?"

Tasmin Loganberry I am so sorry for the situation. Also love your pfp! I would reccommend to do something to embrace the character of the duck, like quacking or flapping your arms. You can enjoy it and play with the rude people. Show them that the bag means a lot to you and don't feel embarresed. If that bag makes you feel happy, no one should stay in front of you enjoying it. If I would see a duck bag on someone I would think that the person is cool behind it because she has something that has character. Embrace it!

BOII I HAVE A DUCK BAG ALSO!! AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT BAG OMAYGAD!!

I'm sorry for what happened to you, no one knows your story so fuck them right?? 😂😂

Hedy is so talented! Also I'm glad you made this video, it's going to sound cliché but I'm in you shoes. It's horrible.


I really wanted this book for so long and now I’m finally getting it TOMORROW! I’m so excited!!!!
