<p>Sounds good, looking forward to it. Surely, you will be posting it here?</p>
<p>Sounds like a ■■■■■, but if not, that’s seriously something you’d have to be insane to do. It will get you ridiculed and bullied by EVERYONE in your school if you do that. You really think you can remain anonymous? That your classmates won’t figure out it was you? And that freaking harvard won’t be able to figure it out?! If this kid really got accepted to Harvard, then he has worked long and hard and deserves it. You taking that away from him makes you wayyyy worse of a person. Sorry you’re being bullied, but there are other solutions.</p>
<p>^That…</p>
<p>What bully goes to Harvard… o_o</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>My dad always says that. When he was in school, this one kid used to call him “FAT-LOMBO!!!” (our last name is Colombo. He was trying to make a funny pun or something, but he failed miserably.)</p>
<p>My father’s reaction? He waited by the door this kid came out of after school and started beating him up. This kid attempted to do some karate moves and, once again, failed miserably. Needless to say, no one tried bullying my father after that.</p>
<p>Drop the kid, none of that video stuff only because its weak</p>
<p>I think the best revenge is success. If you can show up at a high school reunion 10-20 years from now with a great job, a loving family, and an overall happy life, you’ve triumphed over him. You’ve shown him that his attempts at breaking you were unsuccessful and that you could still go on with life as a strong man/woman.</p>
<p>I agree that you should only show the footage to whomever it may concern within the school. Chances are Harvard wouldn’t even watch the video, and if they did, they probably wouldn’t care. </p>
<p>Exacting such strong revenge against the kid just shows the bully he succeeded in breaking you down. Even if he did succeed, the worst thing to do is to let him know he did. Eventually, if he stops getting the desired effect, he’ll stop. If he keeps getting the reaction he wants, he’ll keep doing it.</p>
<p>LOL, I expected 10 replies over night not 66. And to clarify some things…</p>
<p>I read up on laws about filming someone and I am only filming things that are deemed legal. And plus there are plenty of videos on YouTube showing other people are bad at school. And to whoever thought of the idea of brodcasting it throught school, I will thanks for the idea. We have a school news club and we make a video for the entire school each week, so I’ll add my video onto it. This person isn’t just a bully to me he is a bully to EVERY single guy that he thinks isn’t smart (pretty much half the school). But he bullies me a lot cause we are in the same E.Cs. </p>
<p>I’ve worked on this far too long, and if I have to I will censor his eyes out and give him a diguised voice, so that only people who know him, will be able to identify him. </p>
<p>Also no one actually answered my question on their story on bullying, except for the people who said that they took someone’s lunch money. Which isn’t true.</p>
<p>I’ve been to scared to go to my club meetings, and it’s time I take a stand for myself, teachers will not do JACK cause he will just lie and he has more trust with teachers than me.</p>
<p>OP will delivarrrrr if I can get more footage. Since he got accepted into Harvard he just stopped coming to meetings, but he still comes to some.</p>

<p>I forgot to add, I’m not going to be in the video, at ALL. And also he won’t know it is me, cause he bullies a lot of other people as well.</p>

<p>You’re trying to justify this, but it’s not working. OK, think about it. It’s obvious this guy is a jerk, but what will this accomplish? It’ll humiliate him? It could possibly (?) keep him from Harvard. Ok. Will that really truly make you be better? So cliche, but be the better person, I would not want to be friends with someone who does something like you’re planning to do just to get revenge. Two wrongs do not make a right, just show it to his mom or your GC or principal. Think about yourself in 20, 30 years from now. Will you still be happy you did it? Will it really matter? Doubt it. In the grand scheme of things, this is a tiny, tiny part of your life, and I’m sure you’ll end up a better person than he is. That is, if you don’t show this video to every kid at school.</p>
<p>I agree. High school is short, and a lot of people make mistakes. Show it to a school.official, and if they don’t do anything, so be it. You are a senior-there is only five months left and then you never have to see this guy again. He may change, he may not.</p>
<p>When I was in middle school, my classmates bullied a boy very badly. They made fun of his nose (it was kind of hooked like Aztec nose i guess), his voice, everything. They pushed him in a hole when he had a broken leg. They pantsed him completely, beat him up. It was daily. I stood up for him, and always was his friend. </p>
<p>Today, he is happy, well adjusted, and probably headed to an ivy. And you know what, the two of the classmates that bullied him, I am friends with them in hs, and they have.both apologized to him via FB. They felt very bad looking back on what they did when they were 12. </p>
<p>People do mature, and regret what they did earlier in life. This guy might, and if he doesn’t and continues bullying people, he is going to have to live with his self. By broadcasting that video, you are stooping down to his level. </p>

<p>I think enough people have eloquently expressed how stupid of an idea that is, so I won’t comment on it. It’s most likely fake anyway.</p>
<p>My bullying story… well, in fifth grade, I moved to a new school. These girls used to make fun of me for being smart, white (I was the only white person in my class, so they used to call me some racial slurs), and nerdy looking (I was an awkward child). They also made fun of my mother and said some really horrible things. They cheated off of me in class a lot and threatened to beat me up; once, during a test, I wrote down all of the wrong answers, they copied me, handed in their tests, and then I changed my answers to the correct ones. I got an A and they failed, so they threatened to beat me up again. I told my mom, my mom called the school, and it never happened again. Yep, I was a tattletale.</p>
<p>This kid may deserve it (honestly, as a former victim of bullying, I’d say he DEFINITELY deserves it- there are plenty of kids who are desperate to get into Harvard who aren’t because this hog took their spot? Not right), but this video isn’t going to help you. Unless you made a nonpartisan, no-specific-bully video (which I’d actually think would be a great idea, just as an example to kids of how horrible bullying is), I don’t think this is going to do ANY of the stuff you want to accomplish. A publicly shown video is probably just going to get you in trouble, let him be the maligned victim and YOU the horrendous bully, and will not accomplish ANYTHING you want to accomplish.
I’d honestly say from experience that the most you can do at this point is get this reported to official channels- they may or may not report it to Harvard. And don’t sound like you’re out for revenge- it will make you sound like a petty baby. Be mature about it- say, “This kid is causing me and a lot of other kids physical, emotional and mental harm every day. If necessary, I have videos to prove it. We need to make sure that school is a safe place for us.” DO NOT BRING UP HARVARD.
Remember- revenge just puts you on a moral equivalency with your attacker- both of you are attacking each other for no reason and in ways that could possibly change each of you forever. There is no gain to this. What you really need to do is devote yourself to getting this stopped in a non-violent way. If it takes angry parents (or an angry you) at a board meeeting, so be it. But you’ll get a lot more points from them if you show yourself as a crusader for justice and not a vengeful victim.</p>
<p>ETA- I’ve looked over a lot of other responses and what I write here seems to have been repeated ad nauseam already. Dude- not a good idea. And if it is a ■■■■■ (I prefer to judge favorably, but you never know) then if anyone else is in a situation like this I hope that the responses help at least somewhat.</p>
<p>okay, this isn’t standing up to a bully. I’m really sorry if this sounds harsh, but this is cowardly. submitting an anonymous video defaming someone else? what standing up to a bully really is is not caring about him. so you can shrug him off when he tries to bother you, or you can stand up to him when he bothers someone else without worrying what people think, because you’re confident with yourself. I know that’s a lot harder than it sounds, but you should at least try.</p>
<p>if you really believed that this kid was so bad that he didn’t deserve Harvard attention, why did you give him so much attention in this vid? why is he worth so much of your time? and it’s better for EVERYONE if you can just shrug everything off with a whatever. I used to care way to much about how a bully treated me. and I felt obligated to one up her, but I was so much better off when I just… stopped. I have my own life to worry about, screw her.</p>
<p>vengeance isn’t justice because you’re doing it for yourself, not for the “common good.”</p>
<p>Don’t do this. If you are being seriously harmed, report it to someone else and they can take care of it. Revenge is never the answer.</p>
<p>DARN IT CC LOGGED ME OUT, I WROTE A LONG RESPONSE, NOOOO.</p>
<p>All the normal people here want me to not upload (Except for the 4Chan users here, they want me to get screwed over or something), but I want to say that this isn’t a video for just me, it is a video to make present bullies and future bullies stop bullying. The video/movie I made is close to looking like this one
[Bully</a> Official Trailer #1 - Weinstein Company Movie (2012) HD - YouTube](<a href=“Bully Official Trailer #1 - Weinstein Company Movie (2012) HD - YouTube”>Bully Official Trailer #1 - Weinstein Company Movie (2012) HD - YouTube)
It shows the effects of bullying, and the horrible feeling of getting bullied.</p>
<p>And for all those who say to not upload, THEN WHAT DO I DO. Do I continue to sit back and get bullied, no. If I get a loving family, and a great job and come back for high school reunion, will the bully care that I have these things, absolutely not. The only things that will stop me from uploading are the following:
- I get accepted into Harvard (Highly Unlikely)
- Justice is served (Impossible, even if I show the teachers my video, he will lie somehow, and the teachers will give him lunch detention at most, cause he is the prized jewel of our school apparently) </p>
<p>So persuade me to not upload, so far all you have been saying is to do nothing and keep getting bullied, and be the better man. If not the release date will be May 27 the last day of school and my birthday.</p>
<p>This kid really needs to be held accountable, but I’d make showing the vid to a lot of kids the last resort. </p>
<p>If you want, you could recruit the other people he bullies and ALL go to the authorities. There’s a measure of strength in numbers.</p>
<p>So I’m guessing he bullies you because he’s cocky about his supposed intelligence and getting into H worsens this attitude? </p>
<p>All through middle school I was bullied. My culture, grades, clothes, appearance. Everything was fair game. I would have kids stealing my hw to copy it then call me very name in the book (EVERY) if I told on them. Teachers? Worthless. They didn’t care. In fact, these barbaric demons often found favor with teachers because they could make them laugh and what not. It was sickening. I was already dealing with a harsh home life and to be abused at school and home was too much.
Those three years of hell completely demolished my self esteem. That time is the primary reason I HATE alpha males and alpha females. Lord. But yeah. None of them are successful now. They reached their peak in middle and high school. Many aren’t in college, many are pregnant or have fathered multiple children. The ones who are in college couldn’t even fathom thinking of the unis I’m struggling to get into. This isn’t to brag, but I’m so pleased that my hard work and focus on my studies has paid off. Just seeing your enemies somewhere living in the ghetto on welfare with three kids at 18 is satisfying. I can’t lie and say it’s not.</p>
<p>…weak. </p>
<p>by that time no one will remember. do it now</p>
<p>I would upload it. Honestly people really don’t know what happen when you do something like this. Exposing a bully to the general public is far more impactful than simply telling a school official. I recommend doing something else. Take it up with your parents and have them take up the action against the school. Show them the video.</p>

<p>You haven’t made it clear what you hope to accomplish.
Do you hope to get the bully booted out of Harvard? An anonymous video put out three months before the fall semester starts will probably not help.
WHY will your getting accepted to Harvard stop you putting the video up? Is your main motivation bitterness about you, the innocent victim, being rejected/waitlisted and your bully being accepted? Because if so, then your motivations are kind of strange- I can understand them (I’ve been bullied and I’ve been bitter) but you’re not going to win any to your side that way.
Is your motivation just plain, bitter revenge? Then if it’s the documentary about bullying that you portray it as, you won’t accomplish very much in that regard.
Another thing- a school that would defend/not punish a physical bully is just not okay. As I’m not a public school student, I don’t know what, if anything, you could do about that- any public schoolers who have any suggestions? Going to the school board?
Don’t put it in terms of the bully. Will the bully care if you end up with a wonderful family and a great life? Perhaps, and perhaps not- some bullies might not care at all and will still continue to hate you, and some bullies will be annoyed that their senior year project didn’t work out as they wanted it to.
But either way, think about YOURSELF. If you don’t go to Harvard, then after this year you will never need to see this kid again. Is that te time at which you want to launch an attack? What will it get you? Closure? Even that’s not likely.
I think that a strictly nonpartisan video from the victim’s perspective about bullying could be wonderful- I just think that you will probably be very disappointed by the results.</p>
