The worst things always happen to your kids when you turn your back for just a moment.
"It is a rather chilling notion that I was standing in a hallway, poking a would-be murderer with a stick over a paper, and I do sometimes wonder how differently that situation would've turned out if I didn't have a witness."
Rebecca, "My Teacher Murdered Someone"

Even though Rebecca has tons of funny and inspiring stories on her channel, she has some stuff that is, quite frankly, very disturbing.


  • In "My Teacher Murdered Someone", the titular villain E's Ax-Crazy behavior and Hair-Trigger Temper made Rebecca have a good reason to be scared of him. And the fact Rebecca poked a soon-to-be murderer with a stick over a paper he downgraded, makes her wonder how differently that situation could have gone if she didn't have a witness (a friend of hers that was in the hall).
    • Rebecca's reaction to getting said downgraded paper bears mentioning, as she glitches out and gets replaced by... something for a split-second.
  • In "Dumb Things I Do", Rebecca briefly gives the audience a Death Glare complete with red eyes and a demonic voice. The fact that this comes straight out of nowhere can send a brief chill down your spine.
  • Medusa, in "My Crazy Theatre Teacher". Where to begin?
    • "Medusa" was her actual nickname, and she wore it like a badge of honor, even putting up a sign referring to herself by that name. Talk about your real-life examples of Card-Carrying Villain.
    • She was the only person running the entire theatre department, so there was no other adult there to witness her behavior.
    • The fact that she manipulated Rebecca for almost four years is just disturbing.
    • There's also the fact that, despite Rebecca having proved many times to be a great student, actress, had already endured Medusa's classes for years, and was perfect for the lead role in a play, Medusa still never gave her the chance to have a decent role in any of her plays. All simply because she viewed Rebecca as a friendless loser. Medusa would be a perfect real-life example of Jerk with a Heart of Jerk.
    • Rebecca's reaction after finding out the real reason she wasn't cast in the latest play? Laughing like a fucking madwoman.
  • In "Bitten While Defending A Friend", our introduction to Milly establishes her as not only a psychotic bully, but an indiscriminate bully. She makes no distinction whether they're boys, girls, tall kids, short kids, or "kids climbing on rocks". At best, they're subject to petty insults and stolen items. At worst? Physical violence.
  • "My Terrible Mouth Accident" is enough to make one shudder not out of psychological fear, but rather in discomfort thanks to its Realism-Induced Horror and being one of the only videos Rebecca's made that actually features blood. Rebecca being flipped over on a porch swing and landing face-first on her patio while she was a kid sounds pretty painful enough, but the way her mouth is smashed in looks extremely graphic, and the descriptions are even worse. She bit through her lip and left a scar that remains to this day, her front teeth had been pushed back and up through her gums, which the doctors were forced to push into their original position, her two front teeth needed a root canal, the one directly to the left of her front teeth needed a half-metal crown on the back side, and come getting braces in middle school, four of her teeth needed to be forcibly removed in order to let the last four adult teeth properly grow in.
  • In "My Scary Barracuda Story", Rebecca's shiny hair beads attract a pair of dangerous barracudas who get dangerously close to her. A bit concerned, a young Rebecca checks out if she isn't far away from her scuba diving group, which thankfully didn't abandon her, but Rebecca's blood runs cold as she saw that her group is mortified upon witnessing her being pretty close to the dangerous animals, huddling together and scared for her safety. After seeing them, Rebecca turns back, only to find that the large barracuda is mere centimeters close to Rebecca, directly staring at her face with a menacing glare, ready to attack her, which they attempt to do when Rebecca flees from them in a panic.
