This gripping and powerful spoken word poem shows the effects and dire consequences of childhood bullying. Often a dark and hidden world tucked away in schools, this video brings to light these stories and compels people into action. At the same time, it fights the stigma against mental illnesses and seeks to show the world that they are not that uncommon or strange.
This viral phenomenon can be analyzed through the lens of social science and literature to see the dynamic between social movements, psychology, and the reasons people had to share this video.

A father put a wire on his autistic son who, according to school reports, had been acting out and hitting teachers. He discovered that his son was being bullied, mocked, and mistreated by his teachers and aides.
Instead of seeking legal action against the teachers on the recording, this dad decided to take his story to the Internet, hoping that by sharing it with others he would get justice and hopefully help someone else. Chances are a story like this isn't an isolated incident.
This is an interesting example of how nowadays the Internet and social media are used in place of existing law systems. Making your story go viral can sometimes be more powerful than simply bringing a case to court.
