Block him, but take care of giving him the hardest time possible, by all there is in means of legal possibilities, provided by the YT community!
And also don't hesitate to take legal advice and report the bully to the authorities, if possible.
You may become a victim, if someone starts bullying you, but you don't have to stay a victim.
Social Networking Sites have rules and guidelines, to protect the users, and people who overstep those rules, are subject to legal consequences, within the Network, or even beyond that.
Don't fight back one on one, though. Don't lower yourself down to your opponent's level.
But: Don't retreat, either.
You can be strong and smart! Bullies can only be mean, brutal, and dumb.
And please share this video. Pass it on to friends. Make the message heard.
"This film is one of the finest portrayals of mental illness I have seen. Being a therapist myself, I know the stigma that comes with a family member being diagnosed with schizophrenia and this film does the struggle great justice.
The film follows the Marino family, who live in South Florida. Joe Panteliano plays the father, a struggling working class man whose wife (played beautifully by Marsha Gay Harden) has been diagnosed with schziophrenia.
They have a child named Chris who is struggling to find his own identity while dealing with his mother's troubling illness.
In the beginning of the film, we see Mary's attempts to connect with Chris through her artwork and his disappointment that she continues to paint the same scene over and over, a beach with a lighthouse. We come to discover through the movie that Mary holds onto this memory because it is one of the last times she was able to really be a mother to Chris.
Mary, like many people with mental illness, believes she does not need her medication and stops taking it. Mary decompensates one night during a thunderstorm and becomes very paranoid and ends up accidentally hurting Chris.
Mary is then taken to a hospital, where she stays for the remainder of the film.
Once Mary is hospitalized, the film turns its focus to John and Chris, both trying to hold together their family and both failing to do so.
John begins building a sailboat in the backyard, both to distract himself and to find comfort in an activity that he and Mary used to enjoy.
Chris turns to sewing t-shirts for his friends, and begins to make money doing so.
All the while, son and father are not connecting.
Mary's occasional visits home are disasterous and the family nearly breaks apart when Chris tries to destroy the boat John has been working on, in anger. In addition, John loses his job at the company he has worked for for 15 years and is now completely on his own.
John finally realizes that he is all his son has and makes an effort to connect with him, through fixing the boat. Chris uses the canvases from his mother's paintings to patch the sail (hence the title) and the two finally get to sail the boat together.
And finally, John even gets to fulfill a promise he made to Mary ... "
I just stumbled over a joke, and I thought: Well, why not pass the torch ... so: Here goes!
______________________________
Flooding has trapped a man inside his home. The water has risen so quickly that rescuers must come by boat to pick him up.
“No thanks,” he says. “God will save me!”
The water rises until it is waist deep and another boat comes by to get the man.
“No thanks,” he says. “God will save me!”
The man has to climb onto his house because the flood waters continue to rise. He stands on the peak of his roof waving off a helicopter that has come to pick him up.
“God will rescue me!” he shouts.
A short while later, unable to stay above the water, the man drowns.
When he gets to Heaven, he confronts God.
“Why didn’t you save me?!” the man yells.
“What do you mean?” asks God. “I sent two boats and a helicopter!”
A message to the world, written by me (Chaz) and Eric. It was conceived to wake up everyone in the form of a catchy song. Along with a video that fits the theme of the earth evolving, as its revolving, (R)evolve plans to tackle the issues of the world today. It's also my first real single with a featured spot from the talented rapper, Raw Deal (Eric Kimbrough), who is also my uncle.

LYRICS:
(R)evolve Chaz Featuring Eric Kimbrough (aka RawDeal)
Chorus: We evolve as the world revolves around. Nothing's The Way It's Been Forever, We'll Move Forward Through The Weather.
We evolve as the world revolves around. Together, We ain't gone never say never, the rough of the weather is making us better.
Verse #1 - Chaz As a new age rolls on in, we look back on our old sins, we try to go back again, but it's not the direction that we should be headin' in.
Forward, to a new generation, we can try and look back but we can't go back again. Forward, to a new consciousness, look to the world and understand the truth.
Chorus: We evolve as the world revolves around. It's an evolution for some restitution, what's the resolution, yes inducing revolution, that's the resolution.
We evolve as the world revolves around. Constant elevation coming to the nations, it's a revelation, yes a celebration, no more separation.
Verse #2 - RawDeal Nothing stays the same, the human brain keeps evolving, Chaz gave Raw a call, now we both are problem solving, While walking through the universe, I saw the earth revolving, Start talking with the stars, they shared some light and start resolving.
Justice for resolved, the city halls we overhauling, the homeless and the starving and the jobless gonna be ballin' The elderly, we catchin' them, we not gonna let them fall down. We used to tell the politicians Yes, we're telling them naw now.
We are not gonna crawl grounds, Now we standing tall. Now, terrific when you lift your head instead of dreading all clouds. Specifically, let's shift ahead. Hold on I gotta call now.
(I ain't got no money, got no friends tell no one it's true, it's funny cuz i feel i'm at my end, tell me what to do.)
Cut your crew, follow through.. you feelin me? it's really up to you. When life gives you lemons, watch it dissolve. You must revoke negativity, get free and evolve.
Chorus: We evolve as the world revolves around. It's time for higher speaking, no more prior thinking, now our eyes are seeking what's behind the teachings.
We evolve as the world revolves around. Now we mesmerizing, words are hypnotizing, worldly visions rising, all religions we should bridge 'em, so we're driven higher.
Verse #3 - Chaz As a new world is on its way, changes will come, it's safe to say... our progress, what we've done so far, it just shows who we are.
Forward, it's the only direction, the only path we can control what will happen, Forward, to a new consciousness, look to the world and understand the truth.
Chorus: We evolve as the world revolves around. It's an evolution for some restitution, what's the resolution, yes inducing revolution, that's the resolution.
We evolve as the world revolves around. Constant elevation coming to the nation, it's a revelation, yes a celebration, no more separation.
Chorus: We evolve as the world revolves around. Nothing's The Way It's Been Forever, We'll Move Forward Through The Weather.
We evolve as the world revolves around.
Together, We ain't gone never say never, the rough of the weather is making us better!
