Mom Shares Video Of 9 YO Boy Crying To Reveal The Kind Of Effect Bullying Has On Kids

Children don’t realise the kind of effect their words and behavior has on other kids. What they understand as a prank might escalate into bullying without them even knowing it. Pranks might end up scarring another kid for life. According to a study done by The Independent, 1 out of every 5 kids contemplates suicide after getting bullied at school. Many end up with mental health issues. Thankfully because of social media, awareness surrounding bullying is increasing. However, that isn’t enough.

Speaking of which, a video of a 9-year-old boy having an emotional breakdown inside a car after getting bullied in school has widely gone viral on the internet, reports News18. The video has been taken by his mother who posted it on social media with the intention to show others the kind of effect bullying has on kids.

In the video, the boy cries inconsolably and keeps on saying things like, “Give me a rope, I’m going to kill myself,” and “I just want to stab myself in the heart. I want someone to kill me.”

The mother revealed that the boy suffers from dwarfism, a reason for which he gets bullied in school continuously. According to a report by Mail Online, the mother caught his son being bullied by another student. The student kept patting the boy on his head like he was a “puppy” and called him “midget”.

At the beginning of the 7-minute long video, the mother says,

“I just picked my son up from school, witnessed a bullying episode, rang the principal and I want people to know this is the effect bullying has. This is what bullying does. This is the impact bullying has on a nine-year-old kid who just wants to go to school, get an education and have fun but every single fricking day something happens.”

She continues:

“So can you please educate your children, your families, your friends because all it takes is one more instance…and you wonder why kids are killing themselves.”
