Guys, I want to spread awareness. · 5:05am Mar 1st, 2013
We are a tight knit group of bronies. I'm pretty sure at least 90% of us support one another when we are going through tough times.
I am the Follower, and I have seen it; even more than once. Yes, I am a witness.
It is incredible to think that a few words of kindness can really motivate someone. It really can, and I'm glad to be able to be part of such an amazing, encouraging, loving and tolerating fandom. Hence:
(A bit too "colorful" for my point on the subject, but you get the drift.)
Anyways, here's the video I would like to show you. Please watch it by clicking here.
(Youtube link's broken, follow above link to video)
I know that most of you have probably seen this video, or may get around to it. But for those that don't know, I want to spread awareness about this. All of us have been called names at least once in your life, but I want to raise awareness to this video to stop bullying. It is a crime, and I want to help make the world a better place.
This video may not make an impact on you. On any of you. But I know this has made an impact on me, and I wanted to share this with y'all.
but...
...and that's what counts.
Thank you all for being here for anybody who needs a hug. Especially y'all. You guys are just super cuddly.

Yeah, it's a repost.
Yeah, I got this video. THe third person he describes is pretty much me.
"A life made up of tests and pills— even though his friends call him an inspiration, he's a stick of dynamite lit from both ends!"
>implying anti-bully campaigns work
Now I feel a bit depressed.
I love the Brony community... well most of them anyway.
Avoid mlp 4chan.
I was, and still am, the fat kid.
876613 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just wanted to pass this on. Thought that maybe it'd really stir up the feels.

876632 I don't even use 4chan or reddit! I learned a long time ago not to stray to those... sites.
876647 How ironic.

I am glad to be part of this as well.
I'm okay with this
edit: it made a pretty cool song i guess. the story wasn't bad either, but he did over exaggerate on a lot of things. i did agree with some parts especially the adopted part.
This video is really good. The man behind it has a stunning mastery of the English language. Plus, it hits close to home. As a little kid, I was bullied. I built myself from being a short, fat, unathletic nerdy kid up to an athletic, muscled nerdy kid. I am at the same fitness level as a Division 1 college athlete because I hated the bullies...and I remembered every word they sad, marked each and every last one of them, and I remembered...
I learned how to fight, became an extraordinary wrestler and street brawler and soon to be mixed martial artist....because nothing felt better than paying those who bullied me back with bruises. In high school, I was that kid that never put up with anybody being bullied. I got into more than my fair share of fights because I was the champion for the weak and defenseless. Yeah, sure I got my ass handed to me a few times, but more often than not, I was able to save a lot of kids a lot of hurt, and I'm proud of that. Does fighting make me a bad person? Maybe, I don't know. All I know is that the day that I see someone being bullied, and I let it happen...that's the day I'm no longer the person I want to be.
Anyways....thank you Follower for the always thought provoking blog posts, I really appreciate seeing what you post.
That hit me in my shattered mind.
It reminded me of what lies in my own broken heart.
I wasn't bullied at all. I have a good family, kind parents and understanding friends.
But I had an event that hurt me in a way that is hard to explain.
I love this community and how it healed up those cracks, and I will always be grateful.
That was depressing. Seriously.
Its horrible whats happening in some schools.
876747 Thank you.

876902 Me too! I'm surprised I never knew about it up until about 4 days ago!
876903 Thanks! I dunno why it wasn't working. How'd you get it to show up?
876960 Thanks for the support!
877217 I did like his dramatic reading. It made it more memorable. Plus, the animation was a bonus.

That makes me happy. Don't worry, you've got years ahead to shape up. Life's a journey, even though we may not reach our destinations soon.
And thanks for your kind words. I try.
878022 Wow! That's exactly like me!
879060 I know. That's why I wanted to spread awareness on how bad it's getting to be through this creatively animated video.
882212 That's weird. That brings up the count of people I know with a mind shattered to two.
If both of our Best Ponies are Luna, I'm banging my head on a wall.
edit: it seems he may of fixed it, but it's a good idea to use the way I explained because it works for ALL videos.
882205 it's all about how Knighty wrote the coding.
you can't use the whole URL of the video.
Say I wanted to link/embed the video "oppa sexy style!!![amv]" by drakens182
I would take the whole URL
But all that would do would be
So, what you do (and thank iloveportalz0r for finding this out) is take this part:
which gives us this:

882205
You are welcome.
882305 Weeeeellll... ish.
Mainly this.
Hm... I don't think I have a favorite pony! I have favorite shippings and all, but I like most all ponies for specific characteristics they have.
882416 Actually, the whole URL worked the first time! But thank you so much for showing me! I'll have to use that tip! Y'know, for a troll, Portalz is really good at coding things.
886051 it's like his job or something. I know he's in an IT class in school.

If this gets any more weird, I'm banging my head on a wall.
I like Luna the most, but I like all of them for one reason or other.
Cheers and Jammy Dodgers!
