Singer Shaindel Antelis has released a new music video to show the effects of bullying.
Titled “Invisible,” the video is based on Shaindel’s own experiences with bullying when she moved to a new neighborhood when she was 12.
This song is to help uplift and inspire others going through struggles, Shaindel says.
“My inspiration for creating this video was that no one should feel invisible,” says Shaindel. “It’s so sad that girls get left out and bullied in schools and camps. I want them to know that they are special and unique and that there is nothing wrong with them.”
A few of Shaindel’s fans star in the video as well.
Shaindel will be doing an “Invisible” school tour to talk about what she went through and to encourage girls to be kinder to each other.
FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS ONLY

teachers don’t always understand when students are being bullied, in fact, the usually don’t. Don’t think you understand a single thing about bullying unless you were or are a victim. Most of the kids being bullied don’t open up and when they do, the teachers and principals say “Oh, nobody hates you. ‘hate’ is a strong word. I’m sure you’re exaggerating.” And after that, the kids close up and don’t open up anymore, because, understandably, the don’t see how it helps. I speak from experience. TO #10: PEOPLE ARE NOT BULLIED BY THEIR FRIENDS!!!!!!! if they are bullied by someone,… Read more »
This is a great song with a great message, but with one problem: When the little girl is being bullied, an older girl comforts her. While that’s nice and all, its not how it should be. PEOPLE, SHE SHOULD HAVE FRIENDS HER OWN AGE!!!
this is what my daughter goes through
I was ignored by girls while growing up, when trying to contribue to group conversation I was spoken over etc. It still hurts (MANY years later) but I didn’t let them destroy me, thanks to my wonderful mother, I have grown to do great things with my life and “they” can’t ignore me now!
I think it is EVERYBODY’S responsibility to make others feel loved.
This beautiful video brought tears to my eyes. May Hashem grant Shaindel great hatzlacha in spreading her important message. Having been in the field of education for over twenty years…having worked with students of all ages and backgrounds…having seen and heard from the wounded casualties of bullying, I share with you the following: 1. Parents; Show a little (no a lot!) of tolerance for the different stripes in our midst. Yes, there are folk who look or act different than what we are accustomed to. Accept and acknowledge this fact. Model compassion for a fellow Jew without any conditions or… Read more »
Izzy Kalman (www.bullies2buddies.com) is a psychologist who teaches children who are bullied what to say to the bullies to stop the bullying. It really works, and quickly. His method is fun to learn. The effect becomes that the victim learns effective communication that turns the bullies into friends, and the child learns emotional maturity and social confidence. It is amazing to see the transformation!!! The method, like I said is fun to learn, and if you can’t see Izzy in Staten Island, he will do the sessions by phone. It is worth all the money in the world to see… Read more »
Beautiful idea!!
unfortunately, many children are bullied by friends, even when they are not new.
I am amazed that you are encouraging others, bullying is horrible. and can happen to anyone.
totally-
Jew have lost their way my mother tells me. And she’s right. Those of you reading this from the UK, you know who you are, how you allowed a little boy to be ignored for so long, how you all were so eager to join in and let your kids hurt him, cyber bully him, laugh and hit him, whilst you carried on with your empty health club days. Whilst my little boy nearly had a nervous breakdown. A little boy of ten.
Please bring awareness to silent bullying. Bullying is not only about physical assault or verbal insults. There is a more hurtful form of bullying which is ostracizing and ignoring someone. This type of bullying often goes unnoticed. Please be aware and put a stop to it in our schools. Educate your children!
Why is this young girl having to teach adults and sing about how wicked other girls were to her? Why did you adults, her teachers, ect let this happen? I have removed both my kids and refused to pay any money to institutions which shelter disturb crazy children in them. Why does the school let these kids stay? Why do you smile at the disturbed children and send the victims back into the hateful environment to learn under painful environment Torah ect? I and the disturbed girls don’t get better, they carry on the crazy ways, until they hit a… Read more »
My son was so ignored that we left the country. Caused him to have a near breakdown. Parents speak up, and take your children out of schools that let the bullies carry on. Stand up for your kids and make a noise about it.
Or Go to court and make them pay
Sadly
Love this! Its a beautiful way to bring out the lesson of bullying to girls. I hope the local schools take advantage of this opportunity.
Shaindel you’re amazing
