Kassie - Posted on July 21, 2010After I saw this movie with my Youth Group in Michigan, I definately wanted to make a difference. But, I had no idea that I already had before seeing this movie. A Friend of mine had been addicted to Weed, Acid, and Alcohol for the past 3 years. And, after years of dealing with my constant nagging about quitting, she finally went to Rehab. Afew weeks after she was out, she gave a call out of the blue. 'Thank you, Kass.' 'For what?' 'For sticking behind me all these years. For constantly dealing with seeing me high or drunk and not giving up on me.' She went to rehab in April and she's been clean of since. And to this day, she still calls me once in a while to say thank you. And seeing this movie sort of helped me to keep on her. I didnt want to lose a friend to the things she'd relied on for so long.

Peyton - Posted on July 20, 2010I always felt like it was better to be alone than have friends and be hurt. I grew up with mean friends who eventually abandoned me, saying it was an embarrassment to be seen with me. I was once told by a close friend that I deserved to be alone and tat I wasn't allowed to be happy. You know...It's hard enough thinking like that, but when you are told, you believe it so much easier. I attempted to take my life twice and at on point threww my hands up in the air and asked for God to take control. He brought a true friend into my life and eventually took me to a christian school were I bonded with God and made the best friends anyone could have! I know that god loves me and he let this happen to me so I could share my story with others.

Ashley - Posted on July 20, 2010A youth group member at my church committed suicide about two months before this movie came out. Everyone was heartbroken, and miserable. When we saw this movie, we decided to do something about it. We all grew closer together, and basically grew closer to God. If it wasn't for this movie, there is a big chance that someone else in our youth group could have done this. I am so greatful we saw this movie.

Tabitha - Posted on July 19, 2010My Junior year of high school was the hardest for me. I played varsity sports, participated in clubs, took all honors classes and worked a part-time job. I put myself under so much pressure trying to do everything and be the best at it. On the outside I looked like an average teenager, just another student in the hallway, but on the inside I was lonely, stressed and depressed. It took me to hit rock bottom, to attempt suicide before I realized I am not perfect and no one expects me to be. Within weeks after attempting I recieved help and accepted christ into my life. I know God loves me for who I am and has great plans for me.

S.M - Posted on July 18, 2010I just watched this movie last night and it hit me hard. I look back and wonder if maybe i could have been that one person to make a difference in someones life and helped them change their mind. i have known many people who have taken their lives and now i am inspired to go out into the world and try and be that person to be there and help pick up people and be there and tell them how much God loves them. It impacted me so much and i cried the whole movie and put a face to everyone in that movie of someone i know. Amazing Movie and so life changing! Thank you for showing me that i can be that difference

Pencil Boone - Posted on June 07, 2010I'm the Pastor of Thrive Student Ministries at Bangor Baptist Church in Bangor Maine. We incorporated to Save A Life into our graduation weekend. We did a special baccalaureate Service yesterday in our church celebrating Middle School, High School and College graduates. Then last night we pre-sold a meal deal to see the movie FREE. We sold 1oo meals (pizza, chips & soda) but had nearly 400 people show up. Mom and dads along with students even a few grandparents came. We also did a Q & A at the end and past out the suggested started questions to each family. It was a powerful night, people are still buzzing about it today. This Wednesday we will kick off our seven week study on the movie. Yesterday morning the message was on being a people of spiritual integrity and the movie we really sent that message home. Challenging us that one person can make a difference in this world.

Stacey - Posted on June 06, 2010I am a single Mom of two wonderful kids. I just got back from seeing this movie, and it touched me so deeply. I am almost 40 yrs. old, and I still have thoughts like these kids. I know that with Christ as the center of my life, no matter what I may face, I can bear all things through Him. I know that I am never alone, and God guides me every step of my journey through this life. I can only hope that I can help others as much as they have helped me. Remember... you're never alone!

Destrea - Posted on May 25, 2010I waited for this movie to come out for months. When I saw the preview, it reminded me of a friend I had that killed himself. I was expecting a sad movie that would bring back all the memories, but that's not what happened. After the movie I went and sat in a church parking lot and cried my eyes out. God used this movie to touch me. I learned something from this movie that most people didn't. I learned that I wasn't perfect and that I didn't have to make people believe I was. Since that day I have been more open about the fact that I do mess up and people aren't so intimidated to talk to me.

Kat - Posted on May 25, 2010I saw this movie a couple of days ago. I wasn't expecting much. What I saw was picture perfect to my life. I have delt with all of the thoughts, the being made fun of, the feeling of being so alone that there is no one who cares enough to help. This movie made me realize that there are people who care. That my one life makes a difference. Thank you for making me realize this. I am letting this change me. Hopefully, I will have the chance to change others and return the favor to you.
