Bullies Called Him Pork Chop. He Took That Pain With Him And Then Cooked It Into This.

Shane Koyczan was bullied a lot when he was a kid. So he took that pain and made this stunning video with the help of some amazingly talented people. It's kind of breathtaking and powerful, just a warning. Also, it has a happy ending.

At 1:20, he reminds us all what we heard growing up.
At 2:07, we meet another girl who was bruised by words.
At 2:57, we learn why she's awesome.
At 3:12, we meet a kid who was pummeled by pills.
At 4:28, we learn how many kids have to deal with this to this day.
At 5:23, if you've been bullied, you REALLY need to hear these words.
At 6:00, seriously, listen to these damn beautiful words.
And at 6:49, we get to the point that everyone should take to heart.

animated video and spoken word poetry at source.

Zzzzzz...

This is the link to another telling of the spoken word poem, minus the animation.

If you can post the original youtube link, it will be much more exciting. :)
