This is Jillian's Dream
Hanging with a couple of friends fitting right in
But in our scenario she's got more bullies than buddies
Can I please have... HAH
What's wrong with you, why do you keep yelling I have Tourette's Tourette syndrome is a disorder that causes
involuntary physical and vocal tics
You're hurting
My ears, I can't control it
She must have like zero friends if you saw a kid being bullied for having Tourette's syndrome
- Oh my god!
Girl you need help what would you do?
Our hidden cameras are rolling at Marc and Julie's homemade ice cream in West Orange, New Jersey as Jillian
Steps up to order. do you know what you want
Can I...
Strawberry?
What's wrong with you right away this man's eyes are glued to the scene ha what is that you laughing?
I'm not laughing
-This is so funny!
Wait are you laughing at us listen I have tourettes what's happened. What's that? It's Tourette's I can't control it
It's not funny
When they answer him with more hurtful comments, but she's weird look at her he offers kindness
I'm sorry. Okay. Why are you defending someone you don't even know?
The goal is to educate you guys so that in the future
Hey, I should have be making fun of you but I should be helping them
And maybe will be helping me
Time to meet this helpful, man
It's what would you do?
Am I on Tv?
I have to get out of here
What was your message to those bullies stop we people gotta speak up when bullying happens
Just say something. What if it was you?
In fact, jillian is an actor who's grown up with Tourette syndrome
And she's experienced these very same tics in real life guys. Come on. Say hi
She knows just how it feels to be bullied
Jilly how did it make you feel when he spoke up? He's saying wonderful things like
We're all weird which we are
And that was really great
Throughout the day there are lots of different flavours on how customers confront our bullies you're a freak
He encourages our bullies to do their own research, this is a made-up disease
This mom serves it up plain and simple
She's yelling!
Okay, but that's not a real disorder
And she believes that respect should be taught at home
Shaking us upset you're mother. I am mother and oh god, I would never allow my son to even
Take a second. Look laugh anything point a finger. What would you say to parents whose kids are like this talk to your children?
Teach them acceptance not ignorance and arrogance
Is just like your desperate cry for attention
This girl just a few years older than our actors reacts with anger
Is this contagious?
And she has no problem calling out our bullies
This woman comforts Gillian
That's not even a real disorder!
It is, it actually is
She can't help it, so
Thank you very much and then she encourages her to focus on something positive
Getting cake batter thank you. You should like have a puzzle or something
Time to tell her we've got the filming part covered. What are you gonna do? Oh, my god, you're kidding me?!
Oh my god,
I was getting so upset!
Totally watch
Your in tears yeah, you know, I mean the explaination is like my brother had a vocal tics when i was growing up
it was so upsetting, you know children sometimes don't know better and they don't understand like the consequences of what they're saying
When this man hears a scoop of abuse being served to Gillian
what's wrong with you
ah i Have Tourette's I'm sorry
He tries to quickly shut it down. What's Tourette's
Don't want to catch your disease. I have to worry
don't worry you're not going to catch her disease
it's not contagious you're fine
And when their words get meaner he gets more emphatic no you should be in a hospital
Stop doing that Hey
It's not a disease you
don't know what you're talking about trust me. All right. I cannot take it. It's way too much
Fine, we'll leave because she's making me feel uncomfortable. Bye, freak!
Thank you
I'm sorry to you. It's distracting
Right time for us to do just that. I'm John quinones
With the TV show, what would you do?
Wow, you were angry. I- uh, I yeah- It's ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with her. You came over and had it in her back
I wanted her to feel comfortable. She should not feel uncomfortable because of what she has. -Thank you very much. My God, of course. Thank you
