Unfortunately bullying of a wide variety is fairly common, much more so than when I was in school. This Ted Talk by a talented poet named Shane Koyczan is very unusual, but oddly inspirational (I hope) to those who are victims of this particularly nasty crime against the young and impressionable, usually committed by their peers. In a short space of just over 12 minutes it goes from comedy to thought-provoking pathos, the spoken-word poem backed by images from artists around the world, and some beautiful but very subtle and effective violin accents from Hannah Epperson.
