Sam - Posted on May 15, 2010My story may not be much, but I would like to share it. I saw this movie with my church in January and it really made me question my walk with Christ. Am I doing enough? Have I ever saved a life? Have I destroyed a life? I soon changed how I walked around school, my community, and my church. I get made fun of quite a bit, and they tell me they are kidding, but I know they are not. I blow it off and keep my head held high. Please you guys don't ever consider suicide, cutting, or whatever. Just focus on God and surround yourself with true friends. Try to "Save a Life" and always remember, you are worth it. Someone does care. I do.... and God does. :) this may not be much, but its my story. Make your own story, make a difference, save a life.

Emily - Posted on May 15, 2010i've had troubles with self harm in the past so when i saw this movie (especially the part where the boy is cutting himself), it broke my heart. i started crying right there in the theater. this movie definitely changed my life because i saw how much of an impact i could actually make if i just reached out to people. since i've seen it, i've met a few new friends that i never thought i'd be friends with and have learned a lot about reaching out to those who are hurting. I praise God for all he's done just through me seeing this movie :)

Patti DeMeyer - Posted on May 14, 2010This movie reminds me that my words and actions have the potential to cause deep pain if I am careless ...and if I allow God to lead me, my words and actions have the potential to bring light and hope when someone's heart is filled with darkness and despair. One person can make a huge difference.

Katie - Posted on May 14, 2010I have yet to see this movie, but am waiting patiently for it. I hear it on the radio, the little sound clips, and at one point he said that the problem, we didnt do anything, and I think it is so important to make a difference no matter how big or small. I sometimes wonder who i am to others...do they see who i really am, or do i hide and fit into the typical teenager lifestyle? I think as Christians, we need to share our love and passion for God, to others, be all accepting, like in Duetoronmy 16 it is said that even the alien, and poor, the least looked upon are all loved, shouldnt we do the same?

Kylie - Posted on May 13, 2010Life is a tough thing. Just recently I`ve experienced the exact same pain. I knew this girl, we were really close friends when we were younger and we just seemed to drift apart, and I was completely devastated when I found out that she had committed suicide. This is a big issue in today`s society, something has to change, and it won`t if we don`t get up off our lazy bums and do something! This movie had such an impact on me, it`s astounding. We need to put aside our fears and just help somebody, reach out to them, we can`t keep going on like this, God didn`t want us to be cowards, we`re supposed to help each other. Who knows, you could just `Save a Life.`

Tyler - Posted on May 10, 2010When I saw this movie, it changed my life. Ever since I saw it back in January, I've wanted to make a difference in my school. But, I have no idea what I can do. I've prayed for months, but I'm still clueless. But, I'm still praying that one day God will show me the way to lead my school. :)

Anna - Posted on May 07, 2010I started cutting in seventh grade. I quit a while ago and I'm a sophomore now. It's been hard to see people go through the same thing. I met a guy, saw his scars, and I wanted to help. Reaching out may not seem like something possible when you're in the situation but it's what got me through. I accepted Christ at a concert. The band got down on their knees and prayed in the middle of the concert and then offered to pray with people. I prayed and re-accepted. Cutting is an addiction and it takes time to realize that but don't let it be that, don't learn the hard way. I have friends who have committed suicide and seeing this movie broke my heart. It reminded me to keep going. God has become a bigger part of my life. Don't give up, it's not worth it.

Anonymous - Posted on May 07, 2010I seen this movie with my church and it truly changed me. I've dealt with so many things that this movie covered. I was amazed at how different I felt about things when I was done watching it. I laughed, I cried, but most importantly I REALIZED that its okay to give myself a second chance. Anyone who hasn't seen this movie I strongly suggest you do.

Dani - Posted on May 07, 2010My sister committed suicide recently and my whole life crumbled. I have had to learn how to go from one day to the next with every effort to breathe and move on. She was my best friend. I write of that day often, how my world disintegrated, how I lost the smile that is now only a memory, how this world is not a better place without her and how desperately I want to go back and save her. I knew no greater love than the day I was picked up by my Savior. He has given me the desire to tell her amazing story of life and the brokenness caused by her death. I know no greater love than the God that still has to pull both feet to the floor every morning! And He gave this world an amazing mark by her life and a profound effect by her death.
