89. Meeting a camera

~3rd person~

Beep. The camera started recording. The ginger girl's footsteps seemed to echo in her room as she walked to sit on her bed, directly in front of the camera. Her little fingers were shaking, and her palms were sweating. She swallowed her nerves making her mouth go as dry as a bone, but she when looked down on her bed to see the sticky note with the mean words on she was given bravery that would let her speak her mind.
"Look at this." She began holding the note to the camera so that the words could be read.
"Think it's funny? Well I'm here to ask some questions about it." she continued seriously moving the note away.

"Starting with why. Why do you even do this?" She started to ask frowning at the camera.
"Did you think it was funny? Did you think you were cool to do it?" She continued to ask tilting her head.
"Did you not think that it would make the person feel sad? Did you even want to make them feel sad? Or were you silly enough to think the person would laugh?" She laughed and shook her head looking away from the camera for a second.
"Did you choose to do this? Did someone else tell you to do it? Why did you even do this?!" Her voice went louder at the question she repeated.

"How can you even judge a person that you just met as well? Are you a psychic? Are you too lazy to get to know them? Or are you just a person who judges a book by its cover?" Her voice now became curious.
"Why does anyone even do this? Why do others let this happen? Why do teachers let it happen? Why do other parents let this happen? Why do everyday people let this happen?!" She was shouting now getting louder with each question.
"Why, why is bullying still in this world?" Her voice was quiet again.

"Do you not know it's really easy to stop it? Or are you too scared to stop it because it might happen to you?" She asked her head tilting the other way.
"Do you not even think it could happen to you? Do you think you're immune to it?" She laughed again.
"Do you not know how bad it can hurt you? Do you not know what it can make a person do?" She asked raising her eyebrow at the camera.

"If you're a parent, then have you ever asked your child if their being bullied? And if you're a child watching this have you ever told someone if your being bullied?" She continued then held up the note again.
"This may not be a one off. It could repeat itself over and over, and also would you want this to happen to you?!" Minty snapped, her little heart was pumping with passion that drove the questions out of her.

Her eyes had become a little watery almost letting some tears slip away from her green orbs, but she wiped them on the back of her forearm and kept a brave face on.
"Why did you even do this? And why is it that bullying is still here?" She asked then let an almost silent sob escape her lips. She sighed then stood up to her full small height then walked over to camera and pressed the stop button. The video had ended.

~Minty~

I watched myself in silence, making sure I got all the questions I wanted to ask out of me. I didn't even know why I wanted to make a video in it, but the questions...I had to ask them. I didn't care if I'd get shouted at, or people thought I was weird, or that people said the questions were stupid. I needed to ask them and get some kind of answer. Doesn't matter if it was from Amber and her friends or the rest of the world. I just needed to know why.

I also needed to set up my own YouTube channel which is something I'd need help from my parents. I put my camera on the bedside table and the tripod away under my bed before I left my room to go downstairs. Mom was on the iPad and dad was in the kitchen. I didn't want to be mean and ask one but not the other so I went into the kitchen to get dad. What? Mom was the one who was carrying a baby.
"Dad? Can you come with me for a second?" I asked him tugging at his hand slightly.

"Sure, are you okay?" He asked as we walked hand in hand to the living room where mom was.
"Yeah, I just need you and mom to help me with something." I told him just as mom asked the same thing. I repeated what I said to dad as he sat down next to her.
"What can we help you with kid?" Dad asked me while I fiddled with my fingers a little. I hadn't even realised I was nervous about asking them. What if they didn't like the video I wanted to upload? They kinda are the best people to ask because they've got experience.

But both of them are unique you tubers and people love them for them so, maybe that'll hopefully happen to me? Yeah, I can't back out now anyways.
"I want to set up my own YouTube channel so, could you help me?" I asked making them both grin broadly.
"Of course we can." Mom said then got a fresh tab on the iPad. Dad picked me up and sat me on his knee so I could look at the iPad with them both, and before I knew it I had a YouTube channel under the name 'Mintypie' with 2 subscribers. Mom and dad.

"Are you gonna upload a video?" Mom asked me and I nodded.
"And I want you both to be the first ones to see it." I told them honestly and dad awed loudly then cuddled me.
"Please can you be honest about what you think of it as well?" I asked looking from him to mom.
"Why wouldn't we be Minty?" Mom asked and I sighed.
"Because people will think it's weird and not like it." I muttered and dad rubbed my shoulder.
"People think we're weird every day but we don't care." Dad told me while mom nodded.

"Some even thought that your dad was gay but..." Mom trailed off grinning at dad. I looked from her to him seeing he was grinning as well.
"It's not called being gay, it's called being FABULOUS!" He cheered. He held his hands out flat under his chin when he said fabulous in a silly voice. All of us laughed hugging our tummies with tears in our eyes.
"O-okay. Thanks." I sputtered between laughs. While they slowly stopped laughing I got up and stood in front of them facing them.

"I'm gonna go and get my camera." I told swaying my arms backwards and forwards a bit. They both nodded and I nodded too looking at the ground. Then I turned and sprinted towards the door to the stairs to go and get my camera. I felt giddy, like a I got a sugar rush. It was a sudden excitement that I think was caused by what I was going to do. YouTube. I could get use to this.
