Is Anybody Out There? 

Its really great how they put her in a space suit. Being harassed like that makes you feel like you cant breathe, cant move very well, and you feel lonely. Its EXACTLY like it shows, in space, alone and scared, heavy.

The realism with the gym teacher gaslighting her and how they actually talk and act like teenagers

I especially liked the part when coach literally acted as if nothing happened, thats how it actually happens, they manipulate. I love this video so much.

I love the fact that at the end the teacher doesn't try to hug her or touch her at all and they just sit and talk. It really shows he cares

I love how realistic this is and how they talk like actual teenagers

The ponytailed girl is a true friend. Everyone needs someone like her.

This video is one of my favorites. I liked how the teenage girl worked up the courage to tell her science teacher that her PE coach touched her inappropriately.

"I believe you" That's so powerful. More people need to hear that.

This is expressed so realistically. It is so scary how the coach sounds so "innocent" like he didn't do anything to her.

This was me at 5 years old, in Kindergarten. My molestation started shortly before. I was molested by my stepfather FRANK from age 5-12. ✊💪I’m strong enough now and want to share my story to continue bringing awareness.

I was SA’d at a young age and totally understand what she is going through! I still am in therapy for my trauma from that experience.. it’s getting better though!! 💕💕

It's good that this shows that even the people who seem safe and everyone looks up to can be monsters. The coach seemed cool and charismatic, and when she told him to stop, he started gaslighting and trying to make her think it was an overreaction. Sadly, this happens way too often. Also, the science teacher is an absolute Giga Chad, we need more teachers like that, teachers who actually care about the students.

Tbh, when I saw her in a space suit, I literally almost forgot how to breath, but that dosent matter, this is an amazing animation, and it shows how important is to tell a problem to a grown-up, great job😁

i’m scrolling in the comments and seeing how so many people relate to this. i’m so sorry you had to go through that and you guys are really brave and stronger than most of us here

That coach has some serious f*cking balls to straight up deny everything the girl is saying to her face. How did we get here people? How 😢

Its not always the adults. I also got touched in a inappropriate way by a student out if my class. I reported him right away, I didnt cry or anything, just kinda embarrassed that I got touched that way. Im happy that it happened to me back then, I was way more confident in such situations then now. Edit: I am so sorry for all of you in the replies! You can get through everything, we believe in you! :)

For anyone who wants to know the difference between the Director's Cut and this, it's the opening scene being cut out of this version-- from what I can tell, there's absolutely no other changes, but I definitely prefer the Director's Cut with the intro scene left in-- it really sets the tone, creates a quicker connection to Mari, and it introduces the visual of space naturally.

0:48 I like how confused and like “Wtf” she was. That’s an accurate description of how anyone being harassed would feel if it just came out of complete nowhere. I also love how her friend could see right through her and told her to get help. But unfortunately, not everyone has friends like that. Thankfully I was raised around kind people who wouldn’t even dream of such things, but I pray for the people who are going through this, especially the ones who might be surrounded by these disgusting people or people who don’t believe them.

I love how it potrays how it would actually feel if this happended to a teenager. It's realistic, that's what I like about this.

Sometimes this is exactly how it feels. The isolation of not really being able to tell what's going on...

For all those 9-19 children watching this, think of it as a learning lesson if anybody touches you inappropriately

Something else I found interesting is that throughout the video she wore more layers and baggier clothing as a means to help her feel safe. The details the creators add to make this more relatable is so beautiful.

That girl probebly felt so scared, and feeling like she was being watched. She did the right thing.

everytime i come back to this video i start crying. im so glad messages like this are being spread now in ways that are understanding

Its giving me shivers because this is depicted so accurately. I was in the same situation with the pool coach in middle school. My parents didn't beleive me because he was Catholic, like us, and he was "too old" and "just flirting" and "it means you're beautiful". He was pressing his frontside against my backside every time we were alone, I could literally feel his intent if u get what I'm trying to say. :( So, you know. Typical Catholic logic.

This is what our parents are worried about. No wonder they are so protective.

I almost cried when the line became unhooked; for me that resembles the start of ending one’s life. My bsf commuted during Christmas so I’m in tears rn

"I'm holding back the team" also her: litterly stuns Lu with her skill.

That science teacher is an amazing guy.

I hope they can do a movie like this and a boy is going through something like this. Would be amazing :)

I relate to this so much since i was a huge victim to several counts of something similar to this video. It really shows what its like

I can’t never share how greatful i am for these. They changed my life, so much. In fourth grade, a fifth grader touched me. It made me very uncomfortable and he knew what he was doing. I found this channel and i found out i wasn’t alone. Thank you.

What I really enjoyed about this is how it shows just how manipulative pedos are. Glad that it encourages those going through this to speak up.

When I was SA'd I had absolutely no idea because it happened so fast. It took me a year and a half to finally realize what he did to be. I love how this video portrays the flashback because it's something i get alot, especially during class. Love y'all. Thank you ❤❤

i like how she told another man what happened, in these videos it usually shows the men as the villains and the women as heros, which is the case in a lot of these sutuiations, but it’s important to show you can tell ANYONE you trust about this regardless of their gender

Damn I’d love a show in this style, the animation is wonderful!

i literally HATE it when you go to talk to someone that hurt you in the past and then you tell them about it and then they pull the "i don't know what your talking about" shit. and that is one of the ways someone can manipulate you.

You've got to love the level of symbolism and perception going on in this, they portray her inability to tell anyone about her situation: her isolation to that of outer space and an astronaut. The rope attached to her suit is her will to tell others about her situation and that's why its constantly attached to her for most of the video. When its broken off and she starts floating away, you can tell she is fully isolating herself, no longer willing to talk about her problems, but is eventually dragged back to the ground by a person she can trust :> i like these kinds of things

this is amazing. it perfectly captures how I feel. so alone, with almost no hope to finding happiness, you're floating farther and farther away and you wish someone would help you. you're too sad to even cry so you just feel numb and emotionless. it feels like the only way you move forward is to go further down the road in space.

I'm sorry for all the people who experience this, you all don't deserve that, no one deserve it. If you experience this, please tell someone you really trust, its not your fault.

"It's not your fault" line broke me. I have been SA'd multiple times at the age of 13-14 by an older cousin and I've been down a rough road my entire life. I finally got the help that I needed at the age of 30 and that line was the start of my recovery to moving past that. My wish is that everyone can find the courage to tell someone so that they can find the help that is needed for those that have been SA'd.

0:53 the detail that she freezes up in shock after what happens is terrifyingly realistic

The suit is her feeling lost, spaced out, dissociated, hardly breathing and floating away, unable to help herself. When the chain broke, she lost hope people would help her. That's when she started to degrade more, and her attacks became more severe. The teacher taking that end of the chain and pulling her to the ground was metaphorically a way to show how he brought her back to reality: making her realise that there _was_ help. He cared and that restored her faith in there still being humanity, in her flickered a light of hope and she stopped isolating in her pain and numbing out. She's such a strong character.

if you’re going through this, dont be embarrassed or afraid to speak up about it and get some help from somebody you trust. nobody is gonna make fun of you for it, and if they do, then you shouldn’t even be listening to their inconsiderate and mindless thoughts. their opinion is invalid, and dont let them make you think otherwise. you know this is a problem and *you should not let other people’s opinions get in the way of your comfort.*

SO WE AREN'T GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW WELL WRITTEN THE SCIENCE TEACHER IS?????

I literally tore up, I wish i could find someone like the teacher who helped, but instead all I got was backlash. Which completely shut me up about it.

She was so brave for speaking to the coach about it at the start. I would be way to afraid to do that

I told my dad that I was being abused by a family member. His response was, "what do you expect me to do about it?" I was so shocked that I didnt tell anyone else. Not my mom, or teachers, or counselors. I didnt talk about it again until i was in my mid twenties.

I literally teared up at the end. This is really emotional, and it’s a good way to show what some people are going through.

I genuenly adore these videos. They're so informative.. I was once touched weirdly by this teen in a wheelchair and I've never opened up about it.. I'm scare people would call me abliest

The animation is fluid and the way they showed mr.ramirez pulling her out of her panic attack and back to reality was beautifully depicted. In love with this

Powerful picture of dissociation after SA. And her reluctance to speak out after the first reaction to her story is so real. Well done!

I'm very grateful with this, it brought me so many feelings, since I also suffered from inappropriate touching when I was 8-9 years old, also grooming; I can tell it feels exactly like that, being in a heavy suit without being able to tell anyone how you feel, soon after floating you just stop thinking and try to forget, thank you all for representing and making these situations visible.

It really does feel like you’re floating away from everyone when you’re in a situation like that. My own father sexually abused me from as far back as I can remember to age 15. I started self isolating once I realized what was going on. Everything and everyone seemed so far away, and nobody knew the nightmare I was living through every day. Old habits are hard to break and after my father was put in prison four years ago I still mostly kept to myself. Instead of being scared every day, I was depressed and struggling to take care of myself. I distrust people so much I couldn’t even bring myself to open up to my therapist. I’m finally starting to have more good days than bad ones and I’ve made friends for the first time in years within the past two months. I still struggle every day and I think it’s important to talk about this because there are so many people out there who once experienced or are experiencing this horrid nightmare right now, no matter how big or small it seems, and abuse leaves deep scars that no amount of healing will ever completely vanish. I don’t know if this will reach anyone who needs it, but I hope you’re doing alright and that you’re safe. If you’re not, find someone you can trust to help you. It gets better, I promise, you just gotta keep going

I went through something like this! So in kindergarten, we had this P. E. Teacher. When i was walking out of class, i felt a hand grab my butt. It was the P. E. Teacher! So i told my mom principal, and my teacher. Now that i think of it, it was super brave of me to tell. Eventually he was fired and went to jail.

Wow I actually cried watching this. I knew this kid in middle school who constantly said horrible, traumatizing things to me and justified it. I was scared to tell people because I thought they wouldn’t believe me. There’s this girl that I’ve known since I was 10 who was there for me kind of like the science teacher in this video. I cried when she said “they wouldn’t believe me” bc I literally said the same thing

I remember in 6th grade my teacher (he was very old & I was only a 10 year old girl) was very creepy to me and none of the teachers ever believed me and they only belived me after he was arrested. I am so glad that they are actually talking like people

I like how this is actually accurate instead of trying to “babietize” it while still making it understandable 💗

It almost made me cry how much it resembled my own experience. I wish that I would have had someone who'd have believed me.

I JUST LEARNED ABOUT THIS CHANNEL FROM MY SCHOOL AND I WISH I LEARNED ABOUT THIS CHANNEL IN 2020-2022

The way this perfectly shows how it feels, and the emotions and affects these kinds of experiences can have on a person. The feeling of helplessness, as if you’re by yourself, alone in space. From the expressions, it shows the thoughts that went through her head, the feeling of giving up on trying to defend yourself, as if it was pointless to try. As someone who has experienced something like this this back in the day, I know how difficult it can be to talk to someone about these kinds of things. I wish more people, including myself, could’ve brought up the courage to seek out help. It really is a relief that these things are being acknowledged and talked about more nowadays :)

I love how this actually says how teenagers talk and how they react to stuff like that I’m gonna go show my teenager this😊

The fact that people can relate to this animation scares me. I genuinely felt so sick watching this, so good job for showing how it feels like a dead end in those situations. I need to know, is this stuff actually THIS common?

I had the same experience but it was with a kid, and he touched me in the playground like, how did no one realize that. I wanted to tell someone but, it felt wrong, I had a feeling like. What if he did it as an accident? When I was admitted to the counselor, he said he already said sorry but, I didn't hear one, this made me feel like, I was taking people's attention or wasting everyone's time. And once my teacher got mad at me for crying in the elevator because of that "kid". After the incident, his parents made him move schools, and my parents gave me a lecture being all like, "Why didn't you just slap him? You know what he did was wrong. Next time someone does that to you you should hit them." but, not slapping him was a great decision because it made me not get in trouble at the playground where everyone can see. And now that he moved schools, some other girls thanked me, because I thought I was the only one that was getting touched by that "boy" It made me feel proud of my decisions and so every girl in my school that was touched, and me feel more comfortable in school. ❤ Please everyone, never be scared to share your feelings with someone you feel comfortable with. If you don't feel like telling or confronting the person that touched you, you can start by speaking to a counselor or just a teacher you trust. I know it feels hard but, don't be scared, I'm sure they will try to help. Take care everyone

Alot of people don't take molestation seriously its important that we address this

4:36 attention to detail i think? not sure if it was intentional but he said ”that could be you someday” when he said in a inspiring way but with context of this animation it’s saying ”this could happen to anyone" hope this makes sense sorry for my bad english

To this day I can’t wear a blind fold from something 6 years ago because it floods all the bad memories. I was 8 the last time it happened, I have only told 2 people and it’s hard because I’m falling apart. You want to trust them, you don’t want to think they are doing something wrong. I never got to watch him go to prison because he committed suicide. Everyone thinks he was innocent. I want to scream and yell about how if he was innocent then why did he jump. But instead it’s safer to sit. I don’t want my family to think I don’t trust them so it’s better they don’t know

That was a work of art, it perfectly captures what being sexually harassed/ abused feels like. I’m gonna admit I cried

I tried once but i was to shy to ask later on Jesus gave me the courage to say it and i was free

after I watched this film, I scrolled to the comments and saw how many people related to this. I hope y’all are better now

This is exactly how i felt. My love for space grew stronger and i can't even comprehend how much it makes me think of myself when i look at her. I'm happy that she got to get rid of that burden she has been carrying, she's strong for that..

as an 11 year old who has been using the internet for 8 whole years, this has been depicted accurately, the way she talks especially. The way she talks at about 2:37 or so is the exact same I felt when I even had to talk to an adult, I could feel my stomach hurting too and I couldn't even look at them, but I was never in a situation like her. She didn't deserve this either, because being touched by an adult that you trust doesn't only destroy your relations with them, but it could damage you, especially if you didn't even consent for it

i like how its centered around space, because we always need space and there is always someone out there

I geniunely love this video. It shows how abuse, of any kind, can feel so pressing in your everyday life that you sort of just become disconnected at times. It starts by isolation, whether you DID tell someone and they shut you down, or you just can't bring yourself to talk to anyone, or when somebody asks and all the red alarms go off so you opt for the easy way out, assuring them that nothing's happening. At times, everything can seem kind of tuned out until for one reason or another the panic starts to escalate as seen in the planetarium. It can feel overwhelming, and if you don't have someone there who cares who can help you through an attack and source the problem to help you as a whole, its just a never-ending cycle. At least, this is just my interpretation and connecting it back to my experience. Others might find key points in what they have gone through, be it molestation or not.

I personally haven't gone through something like this but its amazing to see content like this and it inspires me to do more for people like her thank you so much

In 1965, my mother held me tightly while she let 4 men r@pe me, her innocent, loving little boy. My 2 sisters were there at the time and they both taunted me with very cruel things they said as they stood beside me and watched. It was horrible. I screamed, I pleaded and I cried my heart out for them to just stop. That was a very long time ago. But it destroyed who I could have been. I was going to be a fireman so I could save people from fires. After that happened to me, I felt no friend would want to have me as a friend, no worker would want me working beside them, no girl would ever love me either. I'm old now. Who is there to listen to an old man's torments recalling a horrible childhood? Who would honestly care, or fully understand? Some things you can never get over, some things others can never take back. I still love my family very much. They were just 'sick' was all. I don't want to see them hurt. Ever. I was 'born unloved' though, and that part hurts more than the r@pes did, though it had destroyed my insides some. They did other cruel things later. Very cruel things. Things I remember in vivid detail, yet still go on and on living the best that I can. I could have you crying if I told you my whole story... maybe. I am the human line separating compassion from indifference. Listen to me and you'll know which person you really are, kind or cruel. "Maine" says "Hello", and hopes you're doing well and good. "In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all, and to the young it comes with bitterest agony, because it takes them unawares. The older have learned to ever expect it." Abraham Lincoln

Nobody should ever be used to something like that. I love how it shows real problems like this & there are help. Friends Family & others.

It made me cry.. this is exactly how I feel... Flying away...

idk why but i really enjoy watching these animations

this video was played so accurately. ive only told a couple of my rlly close friends abt my grandfather and him touching places that make me feel uncomfortable, and saying strange sexual comments to me. only when hes drunk he does this (hes an alcoholic too)but thats no excuse. this has been happening since i was 9 yrs old. i havent brought the courage to tell my parents bc i dont wanna cause drama and i doubt they would believe me. but i rlly love this video, im glad ppl know the struggles some kids have to endure

Im so so sorry to anyone who has been through this💔 no one deserves it, you are so strong and amazing and we love you❤ im here if anyone ever needs to talk❤

8:48 to 9:04 im bawling, i wish someone would have said those words to me when i was younger. "I believe you" goes a long way

God if this helps anyone , there is someone on the other side that can help you. You just haven’t met them yet. I was groomed when I was 14 by a math tutor my parents hired. I didn’t understand if was grooming for years because he was a college student and I had the biggest crush on him. Im 23 now and only just started processing it AND THATS OKAY. I wasn’t safe to do that yet. My family was unsupportive and I had no one I could talk to. I got through it myself, which is never ideal but it’s what happened. But then in college I met THE BEST support person. I love them with my whole heart and they made me feel safe enough to unpack what happened to me when I was ready. It was a chance encounter. I never could’ve predicted meeting them. I left my school and bounced 3 different schools and senior year I met them at my last ditch effort to get my degree. I felt a love that was unconditional. Just by caring they made me remember who I am . I’m really wanting to tell you, please. The most important person you meet can come in your life 2 hours from now. You never know. Hold on.

8:57 wish i heard this when i needed it most.

I was... Groomed/SAd online and i have that exact feeling. You can't tell anyone.. i told my parents after months and they had a screaming fit. I was being abused.. but i didn't see it until wayy later into the relationship.. I'm so glad i blocked him

THEY BACK THEY BACK!!!

the end brought me to tears. i was never able to talk to anyone about what happened to me and i still live wall to wall with my abuser. maybe one day I can start leaving this behind

I love the message it tries to give, most Teenagers have to face this issue in their life’s, so it is important to say it. There are people who will understand :)

I started tearing up cause things like this can really happen. I hope anyone whos dealing with anything like this are able to get some help 🙏

i literally cried for 5 minutes watching this bro how is it so relatable :(

This is exactly how it feels… the fact that she had someone that believed her is refreshing. The want to not get anybody in trouble because the fear of no one believing you is so strong, it took me years to report my abuser because I didn’t think anybody would believe me.

0:45 Shoulder: Hey, people do it. When we are proud of happy for someone. Dont worry about it too much, unless its a absolute stranger you have never met, or even heard of. 0:46 Lower shoulder: They might have been trying to go for the actual shoulder but missed. If its sliding down, ask them to stop. Waist: If it was a family member trying to pick you up, like your mother for example (if you small enough) then it’s probably fine. However, if it again, is the sliding motion, tell them to “GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME.” Butt/(you know what): Do NOT HESITATE. Especially if again, sliding motion. Shove them away, and say “I am fully capable of reporting this to the police. I WILL NOT HESITATE TO DO SO. GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME AND DO NOT TOUCH ME EVER AGAIN.”

I'm gonna cry....like the science teacher gives me hope in this cruel world

When the Science Teacher said “well I believe you”, I was immediately pushed to tears. As a survivor, those words are the same ones that helped me stand up for myself. Validating the experiences of others can save them from their situations.

I was raped by a teacher in 2nd grade. People think it doesn't happen or that it's rare or that you were asking for it. Spread awareness, this could be happening at your school, to your friend, to your child. Always believe victims first.

This almost made me cry it really put this as a great example ❤

The fact that it doesn’t always end up like this is saddening

I’m not sure if this is right, but I think the word “groomed” can apply between even people of the same age. Whatever the word is, I experienced that. It’s hard, and sometimes I still feel obligated to keep that sorta secret, or that I’m crazy and the problem. This hit home is what I’m trying to say, it so silently crushes your heart, I’m so glad that a whole animation team gets somewhat of what I’ve gone through, and the audience it has reached :)

9:30 Serves him right big time!
