This song makes me cry every single time.

[amyperkins]

I got bullied in elementary school and middle school by the same girl, for being chubby too. I got stitches on my foot once and was on crutches. Walking down the hall at school, she kicked the crutches out from under me and made me chip a tooth. Fast forward 10 years and she and I became good friends. I got to hear what she went through as a kid, and she was dealing with something WAY worse than the bullying she put me through. Two years after that, she passed away from a drug overdose. Now, 25 years later, and I'm an addiction counselor. I wish I would've known enough then to ask her... "what happened to you?". We always ask what's wrong with you...why are you being a bully. But a lot of times the bully is going through some stuff too that is causing that aggression. Just a thought. But you are right Sebs. Love will conquer all!

This was Mark's song he released in the late 90's. Mark has some beautiful songs and obvious great vocals. The girl who joins them in singing is Mark's daughter. Home Free adds so much depth with their harmonies. I love this rendition of the song. Great reaction! I'm not crying.. you're crying.. I'm not crying!

[JohnPaul-hmys]

Pop a wheelie: Thanks for suggesting this to Seba. The words in this song are so important for people to hear! If it brings a tear to your eye, it means you felt it in your heart.

Always cry at this no matter how many times I watch it. If you cry at this video it means your heart is in the right place. Nat, the young man in the video, is the founder of "21 Pineapples", a non profit to combat bullying. Have purchased two of his "funky shirts" and love them. Your reaction was beautifully touching. God Bless.

One of three boys who bullied my when I was younger actually asked me to forgive him.

I worked at a grocery store while in high school. After graduation, I was working, and this guy who bullied me walked in, and I rang up his purchases, and he went on his way. He shortly there after came back and asked me if he could talk to me. He said that I had never done anything to him that would warrant what he had done to me. He then very sincerely Asked me to forgive him. I looked at him, and I said yes. I was 17 years old then and I’m now 58 years old. I’ve run into Minnie, Minnie times, and have been very nice. In addition, we graduated together and in September we just celebrated our 40th class reunion. Everything was awesome between us.

I had a bully when I was in jr. high all through high school. And yes, I went home & cried almost every day. My bully was very popular, so her lies were always believed. The pain lasted for decades. Than, at our 45th class reunion, she mentioned how another girl bullied her and how she went home crying every day. I told her she made me cry almost every day. She was shocked and honestly had no idea how badly her words hurt me. Then she hugged me and apologized profusely. I'm so happy that happened & my heart was healed. What a blessing. She passed away a few years later.

Thanks for your reaction! This song has a very powerful message to a very serious subject. Love that Home Free isn't afraid to tackle the issue of bullying. And I really appreciate that Home Free doesn't take the limelight away from the original artist & the message. Both of these young actors have Down Syndrome & they did an awesome job in their parts!

[LadyGator]

Seb, What an awesome message to start my day! I’ve been bullied most of my life. It started when I was in elementary school. I am now 58 years old and still experience some bullying and/or discrimination. When I was in rehab for my alcoholism, I wrote 3 poems…prior to writing those 3 poems, I’d NEVER written a poem or anything it like it.

Why?

Laughing, playing and running around.
So many friends and so much fun.

Then, one day it happens…
Fatty, fatty two by four.
Couldn't fit through the bathroom door.

Why? What did I do to you?

Then, one day it happens…
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

Why? What did I do to you?

Then, one day it happens…
I'm pushed off my bike.
I'm kicked and punched.

Why? What did I do to you?

I thought you were my friend.
I liked you, we shared good times.
We laughed and played together.

Why? What did I do to you?

I was your friend!!!

Beautiful reaction, I taught coached Special Olympics for many years, I swear those children (and adults) taught me far more than I taught them.

[mellissagolemon]

For 12yrs I took care of a guy with Down’s Syndrome and I always said that there was a special place in heaven for him. He passed away a year and a half ago and I miss him more every day. He was an angel on earth. I was devastated when he passed. I was at work when his niece texted me and told me. I fell on the floor and just cried. I couldn’t imagine a world without him in it. These kids hold a special place in my heart.💔💔💔😢

Enjoyed your heart felt and sincere reaction and sharing your experience. I'm 59 and I was bullied in school for being extremely poor from 5th grade until I dropped out of school beginning of 10th grade. I never fought back and everyone, friends included thought I was a coward. They didn't know the reason I didn't fight back was because my parents were elderly and it poor health so I didn't want to get into trouble for fighting and worry them. Like you I thought about thanking a former bully for telling me in front of the class that I'd never go anywhere or do anything. I've seen half of the U.S. and been to six other countries proving him wrong. Spent my life working law enforcement in the army, then as a civilian I worked security and then as a corrections officer in jails and prisons proving I'm no coward. God bless brother.

[justinpayne]

One of the most emotional songs there ever has been sung. If this don’t make your eyes sweat…y’all need a heart!!

[ShyAnny]

Brother Sebs, I just love how honest you are with your emotions. Thank you for sharing your reactions with us.

[jenniferanderson]

My son had a learning disability and a speech impediment, he was bullied and made fun of a lot at school. This song came out when he was small and he was sing it all the time. He is 28 now with 2 girls of his own. He still sings this song to them today.

[JCourtsk]

Mark has so many great songs, he has such a great voice, and I would say he is highly underrated

[toukie]

I had the pleasure of meeting Mark Wills when I went to his concert a long, long time ago. He was so nice. And his songs are amazing.

[thewritequilt]

This was powerful, man, it made me cry too. Great request @Popawheelie

[kerrissawatts]

Growing up being bullied for my weight this song always meant so much to me. Now as a parent it hits harder. My daughter told me a couple weeks ago she was being bullied and because of it she doesn't want to be alive anymore... the overwhelming amount of pain, sadness and anger is something you can't even describe. No one deserves to be bullied. You never know what kind of impact it might have on them

[jacd]

My cousin's favorite group was Peter, Paul & Mary. She was born with Aicardi Syndrome & was the light of our lives. When she was deemed terminal in her early 20s she wished to sing her favorite song Don't Laugh At Me with her favorite person Peter Yarrow of Peter Paul and Mary. Through family outreach she got her wish. She was always an awesome performer & that night did not disappoint. The video used to be here on YouTube but I can't find it now which breaks my heart. Thanks for your reaction.
