When you embedded it did you paste the whole URL? It won't work if you do that. You have to use just what comes after the "=" in the URL. In the case of your video, it is SWMGsmyq7zM.

Yeah, this one and beard guy are my two motivational video favorites now lol.
Common man in fairness the guy provoked it. He threw about 3 punches and kept going. He wanted to the big kid to try fight back even his friend was recording just waiting for something to happen. Not every kid in school may follow the path of ignoring comments and some things can be really hurtful and you have to respect that. These are only kids and even bullying in the adult workplace can be a very serious matter.

Got any sources? Letting people hurt you over names is just a sign of weakness. Literally, they are just saying words. Oh my, how horrifying. My feelings are hurt! Their sound waves are +1 effective! Nope, you're just weak. You won't be able to get any good paying job, because people are going to "emotionally" bully you so they can get that job. Won't be able to get a girl as even if she laughs at you, you're going to cry, then she's just going to laugh even harder.
I would much rather get laughed at then hit, cause I can laugh at myself. If anyone knows the reference to the quote.
Edit: I'm not saying you as in you, but you as in general population.edit on 15-3-2011 by Gnarly because: clarification

Imaging studies have revealed that the emotional pain of social rejection activates two brain regions that are also important in the response to physical pain. Pain activates the anterior cingulate cortex, which signals higher brain regions that impel an individual to act to stop the pain; social rejection similarly triggers activity in this region. Activation of the right ventral prefrontal cortex appears to help dampen the distress of both physical pain and social exclusion.
