Guy "Confesses" Love To Bully Through Song During Talent Show, Bully Threatens To Kill Him

Some people turn a talent show into a stage for revenge, and this one got awkward fast. What started as a simple performance ended with a bully taking the song a little too personally.

In this story, a Reddit user says he planned to play guitar at a school talent show, then decided to change the performance into a confession of love aimed at the class bully. The move got laughs from the crowd, but it also sparked threats afterward, which made the whole situation even messier.

By the end, the performance was the least dramatic part of the night. Read on.

Here's the original Reddit post by Reddit user u/NunsWithNunchucks:

Reddit

u/NunsWithNunchucks had a talent show plan that took a sharp turn.

OP initially only intended to play the guitar in the talent show and leave.

Reddit

That is, until the performance turned into something else entirely.

OP received some threatening texts later on from the bully himself.

Here's how Reddit users reacted to u/NunsWithNunchucks's situation:

The parents could've done something about it, but they decided to simply watch.

Reddit

One commenter thought the whole thing was a pretty effective power move.

He needs to keep it going to confuse him further.

Reddit

Always use your skills and talent to overcome obstacles in life.

Reddit

You only get a certain amount of it; don't use it all up.

And for another family blowup, see a woman confronting her brother over how he treats their elderly parents.

The parents are worrying about all the wrong things.

Reddit

OP relates a lot to what the previous user said.

Reddit

Power play for the win.

Reddit

Some people need to reevaluate their parenting methods.

Reddit

If they can't recognize that, it's on them.

Reddit

It's usually a near-death a$$ whooping, but it could still be serious.

Reddit

The bully didn't find it funny, though.

Reddit

Threats like this should not be taken lightly.

Reddit

I mean, what can you do in a situation like that?

Reddit

Some people even suspect that this whole story is fake.

Reddit

All it does is add more harm to the mix.

Reddit

He lost the competition but won the crowd.

Reddit

OP's mom is not as supportive as this random internet stranger.

Reddit

The bully managed to get OP's number this way.

Reddit

OP's parents could've prevented him from getting bullied, but they decided to just sit there and watch. They have no right to question his mental health because he defended himself the best way he could, given the tools at his disposal. There are only a limited number of things you can do in that position.

The only thing they should be doing now is making sure their son is not getting hurt and harassed by his school bully, because now things are going to be much worse after the "romantic confession."

That bully is definitely not laughing anymore.
