Nobody is talking about how the mom agreed for him to talk with her son, I think that was a really great thing to do and I wonder if other parents would have done the same thing?
That's one of the oldest looking 11 year olds and youngest looking 8 year olds I've ever seen. That must've been scary getting picked on by SUCH a bigger guy
Eh it’s one of those things as a kid you can’t fundamentally understand it so get mad lol cause thats about all a child can do. But once you grow up it becomes one of the reasons why you respect your father not as a dad but as a man.
That's bc this father has a damn good Father- GOD the Father. God lead this father to show the hurting boy unconditional love and compassion instead of anger and criticism bc that's what God would do for us. Like FATHER like son👑
My uncle invited my bully to live with him and my cousins. The guy was racist as all hell to me and they overlooked all that and showed him nothing but love. I hate him and my uncle now.
@@morro570 No doubt, but young men need strong male role models as well. It's hard to explain, especially to a girl, but it's a different type of connection. One that I found extremely beneficial as a kid. If I didn't have strong male role models around, I don't know where I'd be.
@@gavinmoye8260 well thank God, that changes the whole makeup of the sentence. I mean did it matter? And in that case where was his period at end of his sentence?
I’ve been bullied before and if I came home to my bully sitting in my house with clothes my dad bought him I don’t think I could talk to my dad again tbh.
I don't think it all happened over night. The dad probably spoke to his son and explained what he was going to do and why. The dad stopped a bully from being self destructive and bullying his son and others giving them issues. And after this no one is going to mess with his knowing he gain a new big brother
Not even being mean, but I genuinely frels sorry for you. Living with hate in your heart only hurts YOU- its poison. The dad has healed the young man AND his son- through love.
Man I am fighting tears. This is an amazing man and father. I tell my kids to never bully anyone because you never know what a person deals with at home. I'm glad that Tamarions mom allowed him to speak with her son. It's a beautiful thing to see when someone is uplifting to people instead of tearing them down. I wish there were more people like him in this world
I grew up in inner city Detroit. My parents were addicts.... We often went without electricity or a stove. We lived in a car for months at a time. I went to 13 schools. If anyone had reached out this way I would have loved them forever. This video made me cry. I may not look it, but I grew up rough. Edit:THANK YOU
Our exteriors often hide our damage. I hope your rough up bringing hasn't broken you but strengthen you and help you see and empathize with someone like yourself.
joseph liao Then you definitely need help. I mean I was literally bullied from elementary to high school because I was fat at the time, and gay. I’m still not a malicious person who takes things out on others, it shouldn’t be an excuse.
I used to bully certain girls growing up. Of course it was the girls I thought were weaker. I was damaged and lost myself. One of the biggest regrets of my life. I've cried knowing I did ppl like that. It was selfish and I had no idea if they themselves were going through their own traumas. Today, I can't even be sarcastic or give attitude to women. I'll politely disengage, but something in me can't mistreat women. Men...😂😂 bullying them is my PLEJ- UH..😂 they love it.❤
That’s the solution the parents of the kid being bullied have to befriend the bully find out what could be triggering this behavior and shower them with love and support
I know it sounds a bit racist but I think is just unfortunate context, cause I know plenty of white and mixed people that call their family a tribe. I think it also applies, because a tribe is one big family made of many families, so idk. 😂
The fact that this man cared enough about his son to fix the bully issue by turning the bully into his sons brother is a whole other level of wholesome. He helped two lives at once.
As someone who was bullied for quite awhile, I gotta say that this is such a big step to helping both bullied and bully. Honestly, sitting down to have a mature conversation and talking out differences may take a few minutes, but it can sure as heck make a big difference!
I would have liked to hear how the actual son felt. This was great for the bully and the dad, but I would think it felt like a betrayal of the son by the father. What if the kid was only nice when father was around? The biggest problem I think is MAKING his son be FRIENDS with the bully. That seemed very selfish of the parent to me. Everything else is cool. The bully needed help. That is undeniable. The father was a good man for that. Involving his son, though, is questionable.
@@lucydean4028 the only reason to think the son wouldnt be friends with him, despite being told so by the people involved, is your own insecurity clouding your judgement. Let that little boy be happy
Wow how shallow and short sighted we've become. What he taught his son is how to turn the other cheek, (by the way Jesus taught that you know...if you care) What he taught his son is to look deeper than what the eyes can see. What he taught his son is that fights can be won without a punch at all. That young man does not look miserable, and looks to be about the proudest son of an awesome father. He shows no signs that he is lacking any of the love his father obviously has for him. Maybe your ears were clogged when he very pointedly said he tried to deal with this several times through the school but it didn't work. This man had the charisma, the character, the brains, the heart and the foresight to handle this in a way that everyone around the table has benefited. Its soooo easy to strike back. Its much harder to be a real man and do evil to know one. The fact that he even thought of the idea to get to the heart of the problem of what was the underlining issue to HIS SON'S suffering shows the intense forethought here. So what he taught his son is to love, discern, forgive, empathize, and in the midst of all that...gave his son a "brother" ... but I guess this went over most of your heads.
Now if that child is ever bullied again, do you think he will come to his dad for help? Because I would want my parent to stand up for me and not just reward the bully. Hope there was some sort of punishment involved for the young one’s sake.
You know kid is just a kid. They make mistakes but still a kid. Im glad that he being so nice and kid to him because if i be him.. I probably be mad.. But now i learnt from him to be a better person.
What a blessing to have a parent to step up and intervene... hats off to the father and to see pain through a young man heart..and to see his family struggle! There’s so many situations we go through and all it takes is one person to step up to see if you need a helping hand! God bless everyone! Be safe and have a wonderful weekend!
Great dude. And respect to the mom for letting him talk to her son. I know some parents would get defensive, and not do anything about their child’s behavior.
Yes but keep in mind that sometimes bullies *do* bully because they're in a tough spot and they're taking it out on everyone around them because they're unable to change anything about their normal life. Pain breeding pain, man. That's just how it is. Those kids deserve a chance for understanding. In the case of people bullying just to bully and for no reason behind it? Yeah those brats need a whooping. But kids who have it rough don't need it to be rougher, they just need support. You ever been so upset or frustrated you've snapped at someone? Think of it like that, but ontop of that add the fact that if you're a kid you're pretty much helpless to whatever happens around you- you don't have the same control an adult would.
@@ghostieyog6445 They're emotional and children themsleves most likely. They cannot understand problem solving. Not everything has to be violence or extreme scolding. If anything that rises tensions.
I'm sorry you bully my child ain't no way in hell I'm ever liking you, you know its wrong and idgaf if "you where raised wrong" you hear it your whole life...don't bully others, treat others the way you would want to be treated, wanna make someone else's life miserable expect someone else to do the same to you
you’re not wrong but u can’t expect everyone to listen; that’s not realistic and not the approach we need to take if we want to grow as society. We need to do better. Be better. Love the ones that hate you. fight hate with love. it’s the only way. god bless
If my bully is sitting at my dining table when I get home one day.... I’m just gonna slowly close the door and live with my grandma for the rest of my life that’s my bullies dad and house now
Ima pass on this one. If my parents bought my bully anything, I’d be mad. Especially if I’m being bullied severely by this individual. Forget forgiving the bully but think about the mental state of the child for a second.
I think u missed the point of this video man. The dad saw a lot of himself in his sons bully, and wanted to help the kid out. I don’t think his son was being severely bullied either... in the end the dad probably helped to change that kids entire outlook/direction in life. The video explains that the bully wasn’t a bad kid... the whole reason he was stealing stuff in the first place was bc he felt embarrassed by the lack of his own commodities. Respect to the father
@@anklescollected1368 no I understand the point I was just saying if I was in his shoes I’d talk to my child first bc he’s still a human being n have feelings just bc he’s a child doesn’t mean he shouldn’t have a say I understand completely I was just stating what I’d do
@@anklescollected1368 and u don’t know how severe the bullying was bc they didn’t show all of it they only showed what the family allowed but regardless I was just saying I’d let my child have a say in what I’m doing bc regardless he has emotions just like adults do
This mindset is so self-destructive. "No i refuse to acknowledge the humanity of this 11 year odl who mistreated me. He is a heartless irredeemable monster and should be treated as such. How dare you try to stop my bully and give me a new friend dad?"
This makes me cry so bad I commend the actions of parents I didn't get tht far my 15yr son was being bullied in school and he took his own life June 2017 🥺 it took my soul away and I encourage EVERYONE to please pay attention to what's going on with there children I send prayers and blessings to you and everyone's family's.
How do u help ur son with the next bully? Will u take that 1 shopping too? U still have to show ur son how to deal with bullies, or hell be fighting that same battle forever
@@mohayc8877 I get both sides. The boy does look hardened, but he may have endured years of trauma, neglect or instability at home. And this doesn't change overnight. And who's to say his parents can even manage that kind of money, so their problems may persist. If so, he doesn't get the chance to be a kid because he's always worried about home life. On the other hand, it gives the bully access to this boy, (who seems genuinely caring and trustworthy) and the bully can create a deeper form of mental bullying and/or grooming. I just hope the dad uses his intuition, and if he feels some things off with the boy, remove his access from his son, and get him professional help.
@@mohayc8877 what do you mean he still seems like a hard ass? The reason he said the bully was handsome was because he wanted to bring him up and make him feel better. Why would he need to tell his son that at this moment?
What in da hell?? I would be so mad if my dad did this. Matter of fact, if anyone in my family befriended my bully or someone I didn't like they'd have major problems with me. But props to this man for trying to change the bully.
@@ultra3806 being poor and sad isnt a excuse to bully people. Thats the mindset of people who wont be anything in life. Because they blame. Everything else but themselves
