1
I know I tell a lot of funny stories on this channel, but this is not one of them.
2
I'm going to tell you about what I went through growing up with my stepdad.
3
I'm just going to warn you now, this is going to be a very painful video, but if you do choose to stay, when I tell this story, I want you to know the purpose of this video.
4
I don't want to blame him.
5
I don't want you to feel bad for me.
6
I just want to say how I feel, because for the longest time, I never told anybody.
7
So if there's just one person who feels seen when they watch this, then this video has fulfilled its purpose.
8
When I was six years old, my mom brought over a friend.
9
He was nice.
10
I remember he bought me my first gaming system and he would teach me how to play games.
11
I liked him.
12
But over time, he started staying over longer and longer
13
and eventually he moved in and he would hear from my mom that I would misbehave in school.
14
And my mom was tired of disciplining me.
15
So he started beating me.
16
I don't remember much when it started.
17
To be honest, I don't even remember the pain.
18
There were other things he did that hurt me more.
19
I was about eight years old
20
and I was already afraid of him by this point
21
but he came to my room and asked me
22
if I wanted to check out the ps3 he just bought
23
so we went into the living room and I sat across from him
24
and we looked at the shop together I was surprised
25
because he was being so nice to me I wanted to say something
26
so as we looked at the shop together I stuttered
27
and said do do they have any racing games
28
and he just looks at me like I asked him the
29
dumbest question ever he said you think I'm buying games for you go to your room
30
And so I went back to my room
31
and I just laid there thinking I just wanted to talk to him
32
and I messed it all up I just wanted to be his friend.
33
I cried myself to sleep that day Um, it's one of those memories where you don't realize you'll remember
34
this moment forever I've been able to push away a lot of bad memories, but that's one I can't forget I was 10 years old and he got really sick.
35
He needed a transplant or he would die I remember my mom was stressing
36
so much taking care of him He was turning yellow and he lost so much weight.
37
He hurt me a lot by that point, so when I heard he could die, in a weird messed up way, I felt relief.
38
I should have felt scared, but I didn't.
39
He got a transplant.
40
As I got older, it got worse.
41
I was 13 years old.
42
His temper was worse than before.
43
I was maturing and I would start talking back and disagreeing with my mom.
44
And he would start beating me because of it.
45
Anytime I would disrespect him or open my mouth when I shouldn't, he would get the belt.
46
One time he was hitting me so hard it broke and I stared him in the eye feeling strong for a second.
47
He smiled at me and went to grab another belt. That one didn't break.
48
I would cry now from the anger I would feel after he beat me.
49
The pain hurt but not as much as the humiliation I felt from being hit over and over again.
50
I would just lay there after he was done and out of breath.
51
I was left with nothing but shame.
52
One time, he was so angry at me, and I don't even remember what I did, but he pushed me to the ground, and he screamed in my face,
53
I don't even know why he called me that
54
and I asked him while I was crying on the ground why did you call me
55
that I'm not even black and he hesitated
56
and said no that's not what I meant so what did you mean
57
and he couldn't answer but I understood he just hated me
58
so much that the only word in the English language
59
that could paint the way he felt about me was that word My mom watched the whole thing happen from the doorway.
60
And you know what's the strangest part?
61
I don't even remember what we were fighting about.
62
I only remember what he called me.
63
What did I do to deserve getting called that?
64
I mean, I must have done something horrible, right?
65
That's the only reason he would say that.
66
I went to school that week, and one of the essays was about overcoming a challenge in your life.
67
So I wrote this story about how he called me that.
68
And my principal called me into the office that day and asked me if I was okay.
69
I told him I was fine.
70
In fact, I was even surprised it was a concern in the first place.
71
I didn't feel like I had any actual problems.
72
The next week, we had a parent-teacher conference, and all the way home, my stepdad was complaining about how my principal wouldn't stop staring at him like he wanted to fight him.
73
And that made me smile in the backseat.
74
It would be the only time someone held him responsible for his actions.
75
It was the day before my 16th birthday.
76
I was grounded, but I had been using my laptop to paint.
77
I would sneak away and paint digital art and hide the computer before he got home.
78
But my mom told him what I was doing
79
and he told me to show him where it was
80
But I wasn't going to let him take away my art
81
So I refused He then smashed my phone right in front of me Then he stormed into my room
82
and started tearing down my closet He was making such a mess
83
that he was going to rip my drawing
84
So I reached up to stop the shelves from breaking and he pushed me off And he said, you just put your hands on me, you're out of this house
85
And then he called the cops on me The police showed up
86
and I watched him complain to him that I put my hands on him when I never wanted to hurt anyone.
87
My mom didn't try to stop him, even when she knew he was trying to kick me out of the house.
88
So when I was alone with the cops, I asked them, did you ever fight with your dad?
89
What do I do?
90
All he said was, their house, their rules.
91
When you turn 18, you can move out and do whatever you want.
92
I'm 18 years old now.
93
Long story short, I was fighting with my mom, and this time it got so bad, I ended up kneeling on the floor in a ball while my mom held a knife over me, screaming how she's going to kill me.
94
My stepdad was watching us from the counter, not saying a word.
95
I looked at him and begged him for help.
96
I don't know why, I just thought the situation was so bad he would help me.
97
He did not.
98
He just watched.
99
And when I walked out of the house, I had to call the cops on my mom.
100
They found the knife on the floor, and they took her away.
101
And when I walked back upstairs to my room, he looked at me and said, You know you're not staying here tonight.
102
I said I know.
103
I didn't feel safe with him in the house anyway, but hearing that after what just happened It made me feel like it was all my fault.
104
I Was so tired of not being loved.
105
I'm 21 years old I moved out my roommate
106
and I are at the gym
107
and he brought his boxing gloves I've never fought before
108
but I wanted him to teach me and so we end up sparring
109
and he hits me a little too hard and it stings But not that bad.
110
I do my best to handle it But for some reason, I still let out a few tears.
111
He asked me if I'm okay, and I'm like, yeah, I just don't know why I'm crying.
112
It didn't hurt that bad.
113
But as we were walking home that night, I start tearing up again.
114
Because I realized why I cried when he hit me.
115
And so I told him, the only time I've ever been hit in my life, it was my stepdad.
116
So when we were boxing, I didn't see you.
117
All I could see was him.
118
I broke down in front of him crying.
119
And no matter how far from home I was, I didn't realize that the scared little kid was still in there.
120
And it broke me remembering how scared I was, how powerless I felt.
121
I started going to the gym more after that.
122
I'm now taller and stronger than him.
123
And sometimes when I walk around the house and I'm next to him, I get these intrusive thoughts.
124
I realized that if I really wanted to, I could get revenge for all the times he hurt me.
125
It would probably only take me one good punch.
126
But why would I ever want to hurt someone weaker than me?
127
I don't know.
128
And I don't know why he did
129
when I was little we visited his dad's house
130
And he would joke and say
131
that grandpa used to beat him up all the time
132
when he was angry And so
133
when he was nice to us He would say it was weird
134
because his dad was so mean to him growing up
135
And I would just think about how funny it was
136
that he would continue the cycle with me if you knew how bad it was
137
Why did you have to make me feel that way too?
138
I don't know who to talk to about this stuff And
139
so I've never really told anyone not even my own sister knows everything every night Tonight, he goes up to her room and he talks to her before bed.
140
Last year, he told my sister that he's proud of me.
141
I had to hear that from her.
142
The man who beat me is afraid to tell me he's proud of me.
143
Growing up, I would hear my stepdad call me worthless and say it's all my fault.
144
And it just hurt to hear that because sometimes I already think those things about myself.
145
I'll be honest, when life doesn't have its meaning, when I feel alone, making something, anything just to make someone else smile or feel seen,
146
that's what keeps me going.
147
So when I pick up the pen, when I make that video, when someone's day gets better because of me, then everything I went through was worth getting through.
148
I know I talked about a lot of dark thoughts and giving up in this video, and there may be some of you who are suffering right now, but you are never alone.
149
There's always someone out there fighting the same battle that you're going through.
150
It's our responsibility to take our pain and turn it into something we can use to help others.
151
Every battle you overcome makes you stronger, and one day you'll be strong enough to help someone like you.
152
I'm making this video because I know what it's like to feel alone, to grow up scared, to never feel loved, to be hated by people who are supposed to love you.
153
Not everyone will understand what that feels like, and I'm glad they don't.
154
But for those of you who do, I made this video for you.
155
holy shit man like i gotta give you some like aftercare
156
that was quite a ride i feel like
157
that was such an emotional video
158
but the truth is i've always wanted to make this video
159
watching youtube growing up it helped distract me from all my
160
problems in my house it gave me a taste of the world outside all the abuse right
161
so this is why being youtuber was my biggest dream i
162
just wanted to inspire people like I was growing up
163

164
I mean you gotta what else can you do I just
165

166

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
