To This Day Project - Shane Koyczan 

I'm proud of you. that's amazing

i'm so proud of you, love! i'm glad you're still here

I was severely bullied in highschool to the point that i was doubting there was a future for me as well. Tomorrow, i start my first day as being a Registered Nurse in one of the best hospitals in my city. Go us xx

Congrats🙏🙏 🎉 t

I'm so proud of you.

facts sadly

i remember clearly when my school showed this, a kid in my homeroom afterwards said "what a waste of time" while i had to leave the class because i was breaking down because it hit too hard. those were the years when i wore nothing but baggy clothes to cover all my self harm. and to hear someone say that, made me feel like a waste of time

@Icarus Sam Hey there, Icarus Sam. How are things going?

This is EXACTLY what came to mind when he says “We both got moved to the back of class so we would stop being bombarded by spitballs” cause it’s so true! When they do something to stop the issue it’s to the bullied, not the bullies.

I watched this in my English class and most kids' reactions to it was laughing at the pork chop thing

heard this in upgrading school during a special selective student program . and as they showed it to us in the meeting room i was messaging my then long distance bf and our then mutual 2 guy besties / my crushes . i was so emotionally close to shattering and depresively relapsing so much . this poem has helped me accept myself more and more and to not care about what people think , say or do about me cause i am not here to entertain anyone and everyone . i am healing myself from the wounds on my heart and soul cause of others

my entire class is watching this for litrature so i guess this video got like a lot more views

I'm not thanks though!

but for real i can't tell if it's better or worse that the bullies on the outside disappeared because I'm more cruel to myself than they ever were

This was showed at our school and every kid that saw it still shows kids nowadays it’s a powerful video

We are so happy you stayed. Love you.

Thank you so much for staying, you've been so strong and came a long way

😭😭😭 don't ever leave unless you are pushed out the door by others.

Wow, this comment and Shane’s work is powerful. It’s beautiful how some people have the incredible gift to spin their vocabulary into something that can move others with words alone. I’m glad you decided to stay. And I’m half Shane Koyczan made this beautiful piece of work. It got me through some really tough times too :) I hope you’re doing well.

I've been where you were, and I'm so glad I stayed. 60 years old and I've had a wonderful life. Hugs.

Stay strong, please.

+eggrollyummy Yep same here

+Ming Chen you are f*cked up if any part of this video is funny to you in any way.

Every Time he says "they have to be wrong" I get chills down my spine

Me too

that part gets me every fucking time

Every. Single. Time.

That part ALWAYS makes me cry

not really

Crushes me

Same that is my favorite. And "If you can't see anything beautiful about yourself, get a better mirror, look a little closer, stare a little longer." This video has helped me a lot

They were.

can't say i care for love or romance or any of that boringness ,this poem makes me feel like it's ok to be myself and follow my own path . i am not a damsel in distress or the girl who needs a prince or lover i am the girl who loves herself enough to be happy alone and at ease

I’m on the brink.. I almost fell off the tightrope.. my girlfriend pulled me up and helped me keep my balance.. I feel like everything is just getting worse, everyone makes fun of me.. I’m that weird Christian kid that doesn’t curse and doesn’t like sports, I’m the ugly skinny kid that no one likes, Glad that others are getting on well, and able to get a better mirror and leave that circus, I wish I could too.. I’m serious, I’m glad you guys found a way out, hopefully I can find mine..

@@nitrade87 you're not weird. That's just who you are. Even though it seems impossible, you will be able to get out of the circus. You are who you are and you'll be able to find a better mirror

@@MarianeHoran2 Everything is getting better.. I have a girlfriend who loves me and am getting ready to turn in the application to get into my local fire department’s cadet program. I have three amazing friends and I feel loved.. a warmth that can only be felt when someone truly cares about you..

@@nitrade87 congrats! I couldn't be more happy for you! I know how it feels to feel so low and so unhappy but when it becomes better, you realize how much better the world is. Again, I'm very happy for you, congrats!

Cringiest Memelord same i always tear up at that

It’s hits home because my mom is a single mother and is raising 7 kids and has 2 dogs to take care of

Lucky

Bro same here.

That’s the line that always gets me too 😂

You made it. And others will meet you there. Congratulations man.

Scissorbag Im still walking the tightrope but I will make it because I see what lies in front of me and it will be worth it

Scissorbag Congrats...

Scissorbag just know you aren’t the only one

i used to watch this video when i was 14 and felt like i couldn’t go on any longer.. i’m 20 now and just found this video for the first time in years and haven’t cried this much in ages - we made it.

that line hit me hard , i used to take different kinds of anti anxiety and anti depressant meds cause i have really bad anxiety and depression , they'd only work to keep me sane and not cold and emotionless . this poem is my healing blanket

I was probably 6-8 when i first watched this. I am now 13 and its only hitting harder.

Miles Easton dude same, it’s so true it just makes me cry. I’m going through a rough time with bullying so that lyric just hit different:(

my friend that moved away because of bullying had that problem but she had me but I was no match for the entire school who hated her.

Rachel Brown Just wanted to say that I’m glad you’re here.

you’ve got this

Your comment hit really close to home cause I got through a dark time and I felt the same way you do and you will get though it and it will get better you just have to hold on a little longer

words alone should NEVER make you want to die, cry, shout, yell screem, but stay alive please.

Yes you always have to remember to live

If people laugh at something like this, then it proves their ignorance. They have never truly been on the receiving end of the stick, because if they had, they would not be laughing at something that could resonate deeply with them. It's so sad, how others so blatantly choose to not understand problems. They cannot comprehend that this is a reality for millions of people- that words do hurt, and sometimes it's just enough to push you off the end.

Actually though. It's sad

I’m here with you. Same situation. This hit me more then the pain of life and abuse.

They laughed because they were hiding their own bruises and scars.

@@domingo4420 wtf they are actually assholes if they laughed at this. This is one of the greatest poems of all time due to it's strong meaning. How dare they.

So true

💯

👍

True. 😕

Until it talks to another fish and learns that fish are not very good at climbing trees

That's the biggest crime. So many schools talk a big game about "zero tolerance", but they don't do anything about the army of assholes inflicting death by a thousand cuts, they don't punish the real ringleaders because they're the best player on the rugby team and they wanna keep winning, they make excuses about "that's locker room traditions, it's harmless", and in the case of my nemesis it was full blown nepotism (he was the nephew of the VP). And they do nothing, or call you in to the office for the bully to make a false apology and "make up and be friends! :D " because it's so much easier to smooth things over or punish the victim than it is to take action against a culture, their star player, their biggest donor's kid, or deal with half the goddamn school. And even when they DO do something like yell and scream at en entire class for bullying someone, it scares them straight for all of a week (with the bullies going "I thought it was gonna be some boring BS until he yelled BULLSHIT, then I realized we might be in trouble!") before the bullying begins again, small scale cuts until they feel they can get away with more all over again. And then they have the AUDACITY to ask "Why did this happen?!" when tragedy strikes as a result of their inaction or protection of the problem. I likely would not be here if it wasn't for videogames and a few grade school friends, which made me feel like if I was dead, I'd miss out on fun stuff.

Ali A? I missed your fortnight content :(

Yeah my school showed us this

I 100% agree. My school had a “bully box” in the cafeteria where kids could put in little slips of paper to ask for help. And eventually, they took the box down. Why you might ask? Because what bullied kid is gonna walk up, in the middle of lunch, and put something in the box for all to see, so they never got anything in the box. The thing that really sucks is when teachers or parents are like “you can always talk to me” when you just can’t. Half the time I talked to my parents or teachers they were like “oh they’re just joking, toughen up” which just made me feel great about myself :D. I too wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for a few grad school friends, and when my teacher made me watch this poem a few months ago (I’m a junior now btw) I cried in the middle of class (thanks Covid for only having less than half the kids in my class see that bc of hybrids learning T3T)

EXACTLY

Also just popped in my head, watched it like 10 years ago in 4th grade, 19 now and although I never directly related to this video I love the message and the passion put into it.

@@Mar-5016 I’m gonna sound real pretentious here, but it’s oddly beautiful knowing that this video brought two complete strangers back here at the same time ten years later. I guess it’s a testament to how powerful this piece is, and art in general in a way. I wonder if Shane had any idea just how long this would stick with people when he first wrote this.

Literally me today

@@Chromaggiait brought more than two. 🥹 I’m watching it again as a 24 year old. The last time I watched this video was when I was 12 years old, struggled with self harm and suicidal thoughts. Tried to kill myself when I was 14 and didn’t think I’d ever make it past 18 years old, but I did, and had a beautiful daughter when I turned 20 and life is now worth living…

Kagan Shepherd but it’s going to be okay!! I love youu 💛💛 your doing great in life :D

Kagan Shepherd it is sadly.

@@gracie6768 no, it isnt. It's just that information gets spread a lot more quickly and another reason is when it was 6 years ago, you were probably young and didnt give a shit about the news so you never knew about bad stuff that happened then. Just look at the 2000's. A lot of shit stuff was happening. Tensions with Iran and then, swine flu, and sars, the great recession, etc.

Kendrick Mott I guess that’s true

Kagan 2019, it gets worse

My English teacher put it up too. It was in 6th grade, though. Most people didn’t understand, they didn’t care. I wonder if they would now. I almost cried when it was showed to me in the classroom. I wonder if anyone else did. I looked around the room with my eyes watery, nobody seemed affected. We just went on after that. It hit me like a truck, though. I wonder if they would cry, too, if they watched it today. I’m a freshman and I really needed to see this. Good thing I came across it again.

Me too, 9th grade today. English class

Mine was 8th grade

This is the most beautiful video I do really owe to it as well

Maddie Otterson this made me sob. I love you❤️

When i first saw this I was fresh out college and depressed... Now I'm an adult whos more lonely, full of anxiety and more depressed instead... Some times people's life's get better, sometimes they don't...

@@imcrazyforwar Things will get better for you too Elias and try to find one thing good in each day.

Hey Potato Chips and anyone else from 2013, when you watch the video, does it seem as though the animations changed? I honestly don't remember it looking like :12 and :36...it seemed like they changed it, but I can't find the old versions?

I’m still waiting for my future I hope I make it

Damn it these comments make me so happy. I discovered this when I was a teenager, and I'm watching it as an adult and crying because I've come so far. Life is so different and it truly does get better.

7 years later and 9 months later still a masterpeice

yes

No. They don't tell anyone. Except friends who don't care. Teachers that you don't tell. Because you know they're doing their hellish job. Teachers, grades, very few friends. And the SILENCE! trust me I'd rather be bullied, than have everyone ignore me. And I want my cursed, tainted mind wiped.

If you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around, do you ever really crash or even make a sound?

Keep saying I am worth everything and great things are happening to me everyday. Write it down

really stood out to me too :)

I’m glad you’re still here and doing better. Best wishes my friend

Good for you :) I've watched this around 100 times in 10 years, but I have a Question to pose for you as a Psychologist: You see, I've been broken myself since I can remember, I studied Social Work and despite being depressed myself I still worked with suicidal Patients and People with Schizophrenia for quite a while. Successfully, too - I always seem to be able to connect and have somewhat fitting Words of Encouragement for other People. However, my Problem aligns with the final Statement of this Video: We're successful because we're still here, "we made it". I'm 30 now and yeah, I made it up until now. But I'm still broken, still more or less a stick of TNT lit from both ends. I think about it a lot and it feels like the Medal you get in Elementary School for Participation. The Kids feel integrated, but the Parents see the worthlessness of the Medal. Why would I still take part, why would I be proud about making it this far when the entire Journey was Painful ? For the worthless Medal everybody gets xD ? And don't tell me my "unique" Perspective helped several Patients in the past. I mean it did, but I ain't special, there's plenty of People working in the same Field who could've achieved the same thing. I'm not insane enough to kill myself YET, I just wonder what you'd say to someone who got inspired by this Video and came to the Conclusion that the final Message doesn't actually give Solace or Encouragement :D Sorry for potential mistakes in this "Question", English isn't my first Language.

It's sad knowing that treating others with dignity and manners is a pretty basic principle who many people ignore. Aside schools and specially when you're a growth adult, there are so many toxicity and mistreatment around us in the street, workplace, etc. For me the most important lesson of this is that how you behave aside these mean individuals, if you think on it, it's so hypocritical being rude when you don't allow people like this anymore.

Sooooo... It impacts you To this day?

HAHAHA

+Jackthewartortle You just made my day :)

Don't worry I'll be here all my life;) That's a joke about comedy and the fact that I can't stop watching this🙂

shut up

Will always be beautiful

I used to put this on repeat when I was writing, but I found it today, and it hits harder than ever, I understand this completely now, and I want to cry and get angry but I can only do one

This video is timeless

And 100 years later it's still going to be just as beautiful.

Same here. My teacher showed this to me back in 8th grade, and I've carried this with me ever since. Bullying is stupid, and I always try my hardest to not condone it among my friends.

What is scary is that kids today have the power of anonymous to be behind of. I was in the generation of if I was picked on, they either said to to my face or did it secretly behind my back

Crazy because I’m also 24 coming back to this 7-8 years later. And I hear what you mean, we come back to this for a reason. Gotta be willing to keep working yk, hard for sure. We deserve to graduate from the class of “we made it”

Felt ❤️

because they are heartless monsters who can't apreciate beauty

Maybe they dislike it because its not their type of thing? Poetry isn't for everyone. Maybe they dislike it because they dont like how things are portrayed, how their opinions clash with Shane's claims, and even how the video in general is to them. It's a video on RU-vid, remember that.

Maybe some people didn't like the poem or the animation

And just like Mulan said: _"Sometimes your song can't start, until you go someplace, to reflect."_ Your image is _not_ broken. Your self-portrait is _not_ damaged. Show that your reflection cares about you, and never let your image say "No". You can't hide who you are. Someone who doesn't know you, or someone who tried to know you, is all just fabrications. It's very important to show who you are inside of you.

@{{KipoTheFox}} *_Everyone_* deserves one last chance while they still have it. While it is _just_ the beginning, it is _not_ the end of your life. It has already just begun, and no bully or nerd will never traumatize, or antagonize you. You need to believe in yourself, and give proof that all bad days might change, but if it happens, it's on _you._ Don't be a _wrong_ answer, and try to make sure that your life depends on the right answer alone. You _can_ do this. Your heart depends on your life, and it is important that every day seems to get better.

Earth will be _disappeared_ forever. *_Be_*_ a player, a virtual _*_RU-vidr,_*_ a gamer, an illustrator, a graphic designer, an IT technician, whatever job you may want to be._ This is your last and final race, so put the pedal on your left feet, and beat your opponents while you still have the chance. Soon, your ranking will be risen into first place, and the winner who will be chosen is _you!_ Don't press "Quit" or "Exit Game"... Return to your game, hit "Continue", restart the race again, and if the opponent wins while you're still in the middle, don't get mad... This is only your first race, and the game just isn't the same without you winning. Just like the kids at school, when the nerds bully them, you have to stay strong and tell those school bullies to never let anyone try to antagonize their students as long as you tell the teacher or principal. We all know 2020 is going to become the worst year in existence, but if we put a stop into bullying, and get rid of the villains and antagonists, 2020 will actually be _not_ a good year, but a better year that will happen in our lives. We must not resort to other bullying, or our school year will _definitely_ be the most devastating year that has ever happened in other recent years. Let us take a moment to cherish our lives while the pandemic continues to spread even more.

@@littlejohnandbaloo9701 PREACHHH

This might not help but this is something that helped me... it depends on how your perspective I though. Whenever you look in the mirror don't think of who is in there as yourself, think of it as a completely different person, or as your friend. The reason this worked for me is because I have never thought that anyone was ugly but I constantly said that I was... But when I started imagining how I could be hurting the person in the mirror with my thoughts and words then I started to think of the mirror as a human and not just a reflection. Once you learn to accept the person in the mirror then little by little try to think of that beautiful person as yourself again :)🥰😊 my body and mental image still isn't as nice as I would like it to be but I've come a long way.

Right, I see it in most of my classes

Fuck this. I am a teacher and actively fight bullying when I see it. Just remember that we care and sometimes not all of your teachers do, but many of us do. I for one do. It is difficult, but we care, I care, just hang in there.

Worse... not only do they put up "no bully zone" signs, the colleges tell anyone who dissents from the Staff Approved Views that they must speak in a "Free Speech Zone", and shame anyone who disagrees... *Making the people who often advocate the loudest against bullies the biggest offenders.*

They act like a bully is gonna see the signs and be like "Oh look that sign tells me to stop bullying so i will." No. They see it and just look past it. Schools don't understand they if they don't put a stop to it, it will continue happening.

+Polarcere Aj yeah I know

The strongest words ever spoken to me is "If you can't see anything beautiful about yourself then get a better mirror. Look a little closer. Stare a little longer. Because there is something inside you that kept you trying despite every one telling you should quite." Never have words been more resonate after reaching the light at the end of the tunnel, and looking back to see how much i have grown from it.

@@anonymousperson3023 ikr

Same except I was in like 5th grade

what was your teachers name i might know her

Same. And I’m a senior this year. I love this video. It’s so touching.❤️

please get out ikr they showed this at my school yet still don’t do anything it’s so sad really 😕

I am a teacher and I show this video to my Grade 8's every year for the last five years. It is not always about what the teachers can do. In many ways we are powerless with the use of social media and the bullying that happens on it. I can only speak for myself, but if I see bullying in plain site I stop it immediately. Maybe have a talk with your teachers, protest their inaction, do something that the weak are unable to do. I hope I helped. (I was bullied at school, I became a teacher, I made it!)

When something so big has been moving for so long the only way to stop it is to throw things at it til it breaks. The only way bullying ends is if adults and the kids who don't bully, but dont stop it collectively say "no...thats enough." But the adults have more important things, and the kids are acutely aware that standing up for a bullied kid had a chance of making them a bullied kid.

Well unless they're the board members of the school, there is really not much they can do.

please get out when I was younger I build up the courage to tell my teacher that I was being bullied and I swear this is what the teacher said: “it builds character”.

i used to know it by heart when i was around 13-14. i had forgotten about this video until today, when i saw in my google drive a folder with the transcript for this video. i remember walking from school listening to this and trying to remember the words and to say them just like in the video (i'm french so it's a bit more challenging) i listening to this now it gave me hot flashes and i almost started to cry ( i was showing this to my boyfriend for the first time so i didn't want to cry lol), but the nostalgia and just all the words coming back to me.. it's such an amazing video.

I know it by heart too idk if it’s sad but it says something

that's FACTS. I first watched this in 2013 when Shane first shared this video. I still cry every time, and at this point, nearly 8 years later, every word is still burned into my memory.

I used to repeat it daily. You’re not alone ❤️
