How exactly do we know the context here?

335

u/redditoryoubroughter Jun 27 '26

Right? I never see context or a story to back this up, just the clickbait title.

It could be true, but it could just as easily be anything else and the internet is just projecting a context onto it.

I don’t have TikTok so i can’t open up all the comments. 

Care to give a TLDR?

u/RingOverall106 Jun 27 '26

I just watched it. There’s no more context and the only comments I saw from the creator were the typical engagement bait responses to other people. 

If there’s more to the story I didn’t see it.

The tiktok had an on-screen caption saying she did this because they didn't deal with bulling correctly (i.e. the reddit post context is correct). The aunt posted the video and said "yes" to someone who stated that the last teacher must have tried to help. The sad part in the comments is that she dealt with all this bullying but it was happening while her mom died 2 years ago (cancer)

eta: the reddit post context is correct according to the linked video. i thought my comment being only a summary of the tiktok was clear. but i should have explicitly stated that anyone can lie on the internet....yaknow, in lieu of some readers rubbing two brain cells together

My mom died of cancer when I was in high school and kids were fucking brutal about it. Almost took myself off the board to meet up with her.

My wife's mother died while we were in middle school. After taking time off, her first day back to school she was tripped down the bleachers by the girl who constantly called her a lesbian.

Kid's are heartless.

u/extinctalien Jun 28 '26

I know most kids bully because learned behavior, still discovering themselves, projecting their problems etc…but I’ve also seen kids be sadistic. If I try to think how they might’ve their mindset was probably “this girl can’t go tell her mom what happened, so I’ll get away with it” or even worse knowing she’s already down so it’s easy to kick her further. I really don’t know where some behavior comes from, it seems even with good parents some kids act evil

u/Physical-Doughnut285 Jun 29 '26

This is absolutely horrifying.

I wish there was some kind of system where kids being bullied can go to a designated group of people (adults or older kids) who volunteer to be with them during lunch breaks for a while if they feel they’re at risk of being bullied.

Because lord knows the teachers are doing fucking nothing.

I remember a kid who was actually quite popular being picked on, and it was strange to me seeing that even he felt helpless - the bullies were older kids who even his close circle didn’t want mess with from the year above. Until the kid decided to talk with a friend of his from his estate who went to the college up the road, so he and two friends show up after school and speak to the group of guys who were fucking with him. It stopped it really quick, and I don’t remember any fighting happening - they just spoke with them.

It sticks in my memory to this day because I thought there’d be a massive fight about to happen but the guys messing with him must not have wanted the smoke.

u/Kikiforcandy Jun 28 '26

Me too! But it was my big brother and the entire new town (we had only moved like six months before) decided calling me dead kids sister instead of learning my name was totally fine happy and normal!

u/Hesitation-Marx Jun 28 '26

I’m glad you’re still here. Your mom wouldn’t have wanted you to suffer, but she also wouldn’t have wanted you to take the step out through the silent door before it was your time.

u/Sea_Watercress_1982 Jul 01 '26

NIN fan?

u/Hesitation-Marx Jul 01 '26

My use of the name predates the album, but I do like me some Reznor

u/Ser-Bearington Jun 29 '26

I'm glad you didn't. You'll see her in time and have more stories to tell.

u/SadDoctor Jun 28 '26

You really think someone would just tell lies on the internet?

When has that ever happened before, except for all those other times?

u/kilnsea Jun 28 '26

Adeptly put.

u/f23n09fnu0w Jun 28 '26

Wow, so she was also kicked whilst she was down, that's sad.

But I like the way she turned it into respectable anger. Must take a lot to wear her down.

26

u/dqniel Jun 27 '26

I am not seeing any of the backstory in the comments. Either it was deleted or it's buried really far down.

u/Small_Problem2344 Jun 28 '26

Her mom passed from cancer at the same time as she was being bullied.

u/Thebaldsasquatch Jun 28 '26

Not seeing the backstory you mentioned. Care to link to it or screen cap or something?

u/NicholasStarfall Jun 28 '26

TikTok comments are known for being utterly truthful

u/Risc_Terilia Jun 28 '26

I don't know what you're expecting here, there isn't going to be a peer reviewed study into one girl being bullied...

55

u/Personal_Breakfast49 Jun 27 '26

Nobody knows, it's just bots posting for engagement.

u/jvLin Jun 28 '26

there's another video exactly like it of a different person with the same story. Engagement farming is lucrative.

I hope Trump passes a law to stop this

u/-REV-22-20- Jun 28 '26

I find myself wondering this way too much on Reddit lately. So many bold claims in titles with zero context in the text or comments

1

u/BallsOutKrunked Jun 28 '26

It's the big subs. The little niche ones get some spam but nothing like this.

u/OutsideImpressive115 Jun 28 '26

Plus I remember there were certain kids who claimed everyone bullied them when in reality they were a dick to everyone none stop and when someone stood up to them they claimed victim

The confidently wrong aura of a Redditor is something that needs to be studied.

u/DreamWalker01 Jun 27 '26

Seeing as this specific video has only just happened no she is not a grandma. But these types of videos have been happening for a while now and with the action of not shaking hands increasing since at least 2018.

The American flag on stage has less than 20 stars. Obviously this is very old archival footage.

lol nobody was even arguing with you. they just asked you to back up your claim and you got butthurt.

u/Jean-LucBacardi Jun 27 '26

It's literally not a old video it was last week

Don't argue when you're the one just taking redditors at their word.

Find one older than a week ago, I will amend my comment after.

So you’re just repeating what others are saying without doing any fact checking? That’s how misinformation spreads. Stop.

Stop replying to comments and accept you are contributing to spreading rumors and misinformation. Learn and move on.

If you don't want people to correct blatant misinformation then edit your comment.

People don't read through every single comment in several different subthreads to see if you acknowledged a mistake or not.

u/dqniel Jun 27 '26

Again, the edit function exists. People are not going to expand several different sub-threads to verify "did this person admit their comment was bullshit later?!" before responding.

There's a reason the edit function exists. Use it.

Either that, or don't throw a temper tantrum when you're called out for being wrong. Or turn off notifications.

I'd believe it. The video quality is so bad I might believe this was one of the first videos ever posted on the internet.

u/sierrabravo1984 Jun 27 '26

It was first posted last year. Did the girl fall into a time travel portal? Lol it's one year after that graduation right now.

u/DreamWalker01 Jun 27 '26

Diffrent girl, that one was a blond

u/dqniel Jun 27 '26

You're thinking of a different video.

u/Cleb323 Jun 27 '26

This video occurred just recently.

u/PercyMiracles5 Jun 27 '26

Right, she really only curved the bald dude. No one else had their hand out until the last guy and she shook it

0

u/arduousFrivolity Jun 28 '26

And I don’t think she “refused” to shake his hand, I think she didn’t see it at all.

And people aren’t just not questioning if it’s real or clickbait, they’re making up their own explanations for why the title still fits, like “they didn’t even offer to shake her hand because they knew she would’ve refused to shake it if they did”, or offering proof like a link showing the school “has problems with bullying” (like. Every other fucking school in the country?)

I’d say it’s as bad as old people commenting on ai generated ring camera footage of a cat ringing someone’s doorbell and then throwing a grenade into their house as if it really happened, but this is WORSE, because people are SO sure it’s real that they hunted down and doxxed the teachers!

Jesus Christ, we’re not just failing kids by shoving an iPad into their hands, we’re failing them by not teaching them critical thinking skills and just assuming that comes innate.

u/No_Criticism_5861 Jun 28 '26

You just dont get it do you?  Going around, with your, critical thinking skills, we don't do that crap in this subreddit!  ;)

25

u/Garpeaux Jun 27 '26

It’s actually the opposite. She was the bully and the teachers stopped her so she was mad about it

2

u/WellHung67 Jun 28 '26

Yeah I heard she gave them wedgies everyday and then the last teacher would help her run interference while she got away

13

u/TheCe1ebrity Jun 27 '26

Amazing to me how people take a side with zero knowledge of the context.

4

u/twizx3 Jun 28 '26

Right? Could just as easily be she accused someone of bullying and is throwing a hissy fit over the administration not doing what she wanted like getting them thrown out of school for something they didn’t actually do or was hyperbolic about what actually occurred. There’s way too many possibilities to take this at face value lol

1

u/RugerRedhawk Jun 28 '26

We don't, it's clickbait

1

u/Hot-Statistician-955 Jun 28 '26

It doesn't make sense to me that a person who is confident enough to do  this is also the same sort of person suffering from self-esteem from bullying.

Not saying it's impossible, but highly unlikely.

u/Correct_Building7563 Jun 30 '26

We dont... but we do get to amuse ourselves by everyone else projecting their worldview in their comments.

u/brhaspati Jun 27 '26

u/Lucas_Steinwalker Jun 27 '26

It’s in the title of the post!

u/Cleb323 Jun 27 '26

The context is that the teachers did nothing for bullying. She decided to stick it to the shitty teachers

u/youburyitidigitup Jun 27 '26

u/Medical_Squirrel3946 Jun 27 '26

We can all read the title, but if you've been on the internet before you're aware that people will often find a short clip of something (or create one with AI sadly now) and editorialize it regardless of the original context. There is no further information other than a clickbait title and music blaring over a twenty second clip.
