  The upside down American flag in the classroom is a nice subtle touch. For those of you not in the know, the American flag upside down is a symbol of distress.

  R.I.P. Trevor Wilson, the actor who played Jeremy. He died in 2016 in a drowning accident in Puerto Rico. He was 36. Thank you Trevor 🙏

  This song is based off a boy named Jeremy Delle, he was a sophomore at Richardson High School in Richardson, TX. Throughout most of his short life, his parents ignored him and were always quarreling. To make matters worse, each day at school, he was harassed and tormented by his entire class, and it drove him into a depression. Finally, on January 8, 1991, Jeremy walked into his classroom and shot himself in front of his entire class, leaving his classmates in shock and horror.

  My daughter was in the video. Those children were in a hot schoolroom in NJ for about 10 hours. At home we talked about the importance of Eddie bringing this tragedy to the forefront.

  As a kid who was bullied in school for being "weird" for being silent, shaky, lonely & misunderstood. I'll always be thankful for this song. Cured my depression

  I was 17 when this song was released. It was played a million times a day on MTV. Eddie Vedder is a genius song writer. He dared to bring this kid's suicide to light in a time when mental health was a stigma. No one ever spoke about these issues in 1992 but he felt the need to tell the story of that young man. At the time I didn't know it was a real story, but when I found out, I loved the song even more.

  I love how the song is from the perspective of a classmate who witnessed the horror of Jeremy's final moment. Eddie did an incredible job with the lyrics but even more importantly the tone. I could just imagine a kid going home to his parents and being so traumatized that all they could utter was "Jeremy spoke in class today."

  I&apos;m a teacher and I really love this song. Whenever I have troubling students, I always think of Jeremy. <br>We can learn from his story. <br>Out of all the crap he had to go through, the straw that broke the camels back was his teacher asking him to get a slip. I always remember that and I always give the kids a break. We dont know what&apos;s going on at home, so we should give them a break. School is not supposed to be a prison.
