A few months ago, CBS New York reported on Vine being a new tool used by high schoolers to harass their peers and faculty. The discreet and quick video app proved to be perfect for filming people without their permission and creating mean parodies of each other. 

But, so far, those Vines have yet to surface on any significant Top 10 list, since the most popular Viners are the ones who make fun of themselves or do socially gutsy, publicly-humilating stunts. Brittany Furlan's Vine of her "accidentally" burning herself while singing into her curling iron was featured on Jimmy Kimmel. Jerome Jarre has steadily gained an impressive following from his Vines, all of which involve him approaching strangers who may or may not like him. 

One would think this kind of behavior would be unfathomable to the average teen, lest their silliness ends up backfiring and providing prospective tormentors with everything they need to deem them a loser or freak. But these young Viners (all of whom are in the Top 100 Vine Users list, according to Seenive) seem anything but self-conscious, and, and are riding the self-mockery train all the way to popularity. Here are our favorite examples.

I don’t mind the hate comments at all, by Marissa Mayne
