Rebekah - Posted on June 18, 2013

Thank you for making a very accurate movie. I love how encouraged I am from seeing my kind of REALITY on the screen, what I deal with as a young Christian teenage girl. My story isn't oh so special. But in God's eyes, I am. I grew up in a Christian home. Parents.. TWO great parents divorced and left all 6 six girls and 2 boys desperate for something more. We all found out that God can be the ONLY one to go to. To this day, I'm 18. I know that sex, suicide, drugs and partying isn't worth it to me. But may be to others... so I must continue being the example they need. It's a battlefield in all ages of life. Well, thank you again for making this film... accurate film. Rebekah

I'm 15. I have tried to commit suicide 4 times, each got more and more severe. The last time was January 2nd 2013. I wrote every letter to every person that I thought was worth writing to. I rewrote it every day for 6 months. I am bipolar and have an eating disorder. I cut, and I still am off and on suicidal. And I am very tempted. This movie, it made me cry to think that anyone could do that, like why?! And it made me even more sad to think I have tried that too.

I've been there; I've stuggled with self harm and with suicide. But please, I know this is so over used but it really does get better. No matter how hard it seems it WILL get better. In 10 years you'll look back and think to yourself how glad you are that you didn't choose to end your life. Ending your life should never be an option to anybody; your life is so precious and it so rare. YOU are one of a kind; no on will ever be like you. If you think this world will be a better place without you, you're wrong. Someone in this world loves you beyond belief. I love you.

Laura - Posted on June 17, 2013

Hi, I'm Laura and I'm here just to say that things get better with time; just stay positive. Two years ago I was in the same situation as many of you guys. I thought I had nobody and I felt like my whole world was going to collapse. I was really depressed and I even tried to kill myself several times and the fact that I had no friends wasn't helping my situation. But one day I thought, "I wasn't only hurting myself; I was hurting others too." So I decided to find help and with a lot of effort and work I got better. I still have to live with all the scars but they're just the living proof that I survived a war, a war with myself. They're battle wounds. I'm a warrior now.

Jackson - Posted on June 17, 2013

Hey, I'm Jackson from Gisborne, New Zealand. I am not what you would call normal. I'm kind of big and have been called all the names. I grew up in a Christian family but it wasn't until I tried to take my own life that I really found out that God loves me and all I had to do was to move schools again to find better friends. And now even that I have scars that is not how my life is. It is just one stage. God was there for me. He will help you too. If anyone needs to talk to just another teen that has been thought it, just write me. I would love to help anyone:)

Well, I will start by saying that when I saw the film for the first time I could not contain myself and I cried. In the beginning I did not understand why he was crying but then I realized that I identified a lot with those kids. My personality was changing slowly, and I became more shy and more reserved. I began to be afraid of letting people down, so I thought I'd better get away from them. But the truth is that when we are alone our problems are twice the weight. I live with torment of my fears since I can remember and I know there's no going back for me. But for you it may be different. You only need to have the strength to change what is happening. Everything depends on you. I just gave up, I did not have enough strength to face my ghosts so I learned to live with them. PS: I ask so sorry for my spelling and grammatical errors. I am Portuguese and I don't know how to speak english.

Carolina - Posted on June 17, 2013

Hi, I'm Carolina and I'm from Portugal. 2 years ago, I made a sexual movie just to me, but someone who I had called my friend, showed and trasmitted my movie to all the school and around. In that time, I wanted to kill myself. It was necessary to have a lot of courage to go to school every single day. People were joking with me. I've lost all my supposed friends. Luckily, I was strong enough to pass through it, but I lost all my trust in the others. Nowadays, some people still look me as a bad girl, but others who have been getting to know me after, look at me in a different way. (Sorry my English)

Ricardo - Posted on June 17, 2013

I'm Ricardo from Portugal. I'm 18, and the thing is I don't have problems with anyone. I have loads of friends, and good parents, but I feel alone and although I have friends I feel like there is no one that I can actually talk to and just unburden!!! And I feel really stupid because in others people's eyes I have a great life, but I just feel lonely all the time.

Gimena - Posted on June 14, 2013

Hello. I am Gimena from Argentina. I have not had any kind of problem in making friends. I have very many but anyone can fall quickly into depression, feeling that something is missing. After seeing the movie I felt something strange. Two years ago I lost my best friend of 10 years; he was everything to me. Then after a long time I met another friend who moved quickly leaving me alone. Then I found my second best friend was as wise.

Gwyn - Posted on June 13, 2013

My stepdaughter has been called ALOT of names recently like fat, ugly, dumb, chicken nugget and I decided that it needs to stop. So I tell her to walk away and turn the other cheek and it's been working. We have started to go to church ALOT and she has been really understanding about how to walk away instead of them getting under her skin. Now she can finally come home without tears or arguments to the point where she wants to move back to her dad's.

Marcelo - Posted on June 13, 2013

I am Marcelo from Madrid, Spain. The film inspired to me to be more kind, to think more about people around me. Many times I feel so alone, however when I feel depressed, I think about people in the world who are suffering and may be feeling alone also, and make the choice to take their lives. I think people don't know how important and how easy it can be to smile to our brothers, or may be to offer help to others. If we would only think about little and simple things we can do for others, and how we can bring happiness to them by doing those little things. The world would be much better. Sorry for my English. I invite you to carry on with the mission of making people happy. We are all brothers. We are the human race and we have the responsibility to support each other and to give love for a true change. Hugs from Madrid.... Marcelo

Shanna - Posted on June 12, 2013

I know how it feels to go through depression and to always feel alone and wanting to end my life because I have felt worthless. It was after I saw this movie that it made me realize I was not alone, how I can save a life. God is there and has never left my side. I have given my life to him and it was the best choice I could have ever made. God Bless you.
