“You actually see what the child was actually thinking, what they are experiencing,” he said.

Johnson said the video is about more than bullying.

“It’s about how the kids are responding to bullying. We have kids killing themselves,” Johnson said.

In the video, you can see kids reaching out for help, but the parents aren’t really listening.

“And the response from their parents wasn’t the response the child was looking for. I just want these kids to know that they got to continue to grow, don’t give up,” he said.

Fontaine said he hopes this video will encourage more parents to listen and talk to their kids more.
