  • I need somebody who understands. But that's too much to ask for...

  • i'm doing this story for competitive speech, i have it almost memorized and i love it<3 great job Jamie!

  • If anyone needs to talk about their issues with depression, etc. PLEASE feel free to message me, i've been there and sometimes I still am. Even though you may not know me, please just talk to me if you are struggling with these issues... I want to help

  • Where'd you download this?

    I know you're probably one of those people who never answers, but -__-

  • @rebokkid123 it's in the description :)

  • Someone PLEASE tell me what the song is called??!

  • i dont mean to sound stupid but can someone explain what the whole story is behind this? i partialy understand

  • Between hurricane and harbor, as both claim to save her <3

  • before i heard this story, I was ready to end my life thinking to my self "Why am I hear god their isnt anything hear for me" as I said those words i felt like im no longer happy then i was cutting wood accidently cutting my self then i thought "It felt so good as if I was happy to do that" i tried other drugs and stuff i didnt get a buz instead i got more heart ach so i stopped using drugs and kept cutting my self thinking that this was good 

  • My school might do a "challenge day" this year and I am reading this story. Im the leader of it and i hope our principle says yes. b-cuz if there is one thing iv learned in the last 2 years with my addiction is that people live in the shadows no one tells the truth because we don't want them to know how we feel and those who chose not to say something are the ones who end up gone from suicide. If any one of you knows anyone who is suicidal and hurts themselves Please get help for them

  • <3 I wish I had heard Of TWLOHA before I lost a good friend . I miss her, now if I see friend even talking about ending their life I minister to them. Tell them they have a Life worth Living

  • All I can do when I hear this is cry because I have tried everything to get help and I still feel so much pain inside..

    I have lost most hope and the "god" I used to believe in now seems like such a lie..

    People used to try to help me.. but they just gave up on me..

    All I want is help.

  • @alykb97 Your life matters. You are born to be loved and to love others. Your role is coming just prepare yourself for it

  • @alykb97 You can talk to me. i will never give up on anyone. I want to help

  • @alykb97 If you need to talk, message me. I'll listen, even if we are strangers

  • What are you, some kind of faggots? do you seriously like men? you better be glad i'm not your fuckin daddy cuz i woulda slapped the SHIT out your ass.

  • @DrNecro666 If man was to love why not give it to someone he loves most?

  • im a bigg supporter for t.w.l.o.h.a.<3. & who ever 'disliked' this must have no life ; the narrator did a fantastic job.:)

  • "surrender are broken hearts" This video is like a song,i keep replaying it over and over again. He speaks words that are the truth.

  • @Lordbaldur

    That was absolutely awful and you really should stop trolling on poor kids who cannot see that behind your rude words you are probably just a small broken little man. And I feel that your parents would be disappointed and shameful of you if they ever saw you treat a young person the way you have on this website.

  • every time i listenin to this story or read it , it gets to me i love TWLOHA i support it all the way , it also helped me from what ive been through and people shldnt take depession as a joke its really serious , i wish i could be appart of TWLOHA and help people

  • 'she would want you to remember"

    ..... that comepletely passed the thresehold of emotions.

    maybe i should start

  • @XHappyLiesX no don't, TWLOHA is made to help people. not to make it worse.

  • @SuperDreamer1111 **start remembering***

    as in STOP what ive already strted, and remember the stars.... and it has helped.

  • This is an inspiration. I hardly ever cry but every time i listen to this i do. I know so many people who want to commit suicide but i tell them to talk to me because I care to listen. I would write love on her arms ;)

  • I have goosebumps everywhere. I've listened to this so many time, but everytime I listen to it, I'm covered in goosebumps. I just love TWLOHA! < 333

  • I struggled with depression for 4 years. Seventh grade to tenth grade. It was a dark time in my life and almost committed suicide twice. By the grace of God my heart has been healed and it still beats. Now I have been called to help those who deal with depression and suicide. I have a heart for the brokenhearted. Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." That verse saved my life. Jesus is there for you. Trust me. Much love.

  • That just made me cry i know a girl who cuts and i really wish i could be that person to stand by her and help her through this and i do all i can do shes a beautiful girl a lovely woman and the best photographer ive met...shes my girlfriend the girl i wanna be with forever. I didnt understand why she would cut and i didnt want her to but now i have some understand and really wanna be there for her.....i love you baby

  • Im Sarah. Im a freshamn in High School. 7th grade is when it started. The cutting and the search for love. I watch this video and I am forever changed. I gave my last blade to a friend who helped me through so much. I see it alot but I dont need to look at that for the memories. Those are on my arms. And im done cutting. I couldnt have done it without this. Thank You.

  • I'm a 15 year old former cutter, and this story helped me change myself. Thank you and I'm here to help anyone, whoever you are -3 my fb name is Nichole Lynn Garver ...

  • I wish someone can help me like that:/ Actually, my 16 year old friend is kindly giving me advice. He's been hostipilized,done drugs, and cut himself. I'm glad he's willing to help me even though we are not able to see eachother<3 This is truly an amazing story.

  • this video made me cry :'( TWLOHA is the best organization it helps alot of ppl and im trying to get my freind to listn to the help i myself am a cutter but my freind attemped suicide and she needs the help more than i do so im trying to get her to try to find help my insparation is TWLOHA they have changed my life

  • TWLOHA changed my life

    t.w.l.o.h.a. 's a great roll model . i just really need adives

  • My 2 bestfriends having cutting and depression problems and I don't know what to do. I need help

  • @heymondayfan1234 It's ok.. 4 of my friends have cutting and suicide problems,and I'm the one who helps.. The biggest supporter.. Just try and make it through.. Helping them will help you :)

  • please visit my channel. not many videos yet, but all subscriptions, comments, video responses...go towards supporting all those in need or guidance. SHow them we care. TWLOHA

  • Brought tears to my eyes, <3

  • Every time I feel hopeless and depressed I listen to this, it makes me feel better even though it's really sad, but comes out good in the end. Thank you TWLOHA and thanks for uploading this, really, thanks<3.

  • I love sitting here and just listening to this, just like it's a song.

    I beg of anyone who is depressed or suicidal, talk to someone or get help. Because you don't know how much it will effect the ones you love if you're not around anymore. You are loved, no matter what you may think. And whatever is going wrong in your life at the moment, it will get better. Just don't do it. Nothing and no one is worth taking our own life.

    < 3

  • I am crying so hard right now. This is just amazing...wow

  • I've been thinking about killing myself for many months. It seems my whole world is crashing down with no hopes of survival. TWLOHA is slowly helping me. I haven't cut in over 3 weeks. I pray TWLOHA can help many others.

  • aww ... this is really powerfull ... i'm glad Renee got better and that TWLOHA is there for everyone ... :')

  • <3 TWLOHA

  • there's nothing left to say but ...wow

  • This is literally the most beautiful thing i've ever heard.

  • I love this. I love this. I love this.

    There is no way to explain how inspirational it is.

    I love this.

  • This story is so powerful, and inspriational. I have listened to it over and over again, and yet I tear up during it. Jamie, Renee, everyone who supports TWLOHA are my heros. Just because someone doesnt know who you are, or your name doesnt mean that you cant make a difference in someones life.

  • this is, without a doubt in my mind..the most beautiful thing I have EVER heard in my life.

  • Thank you... :)

  • I cut myself for so long. It seems like the right thing, everyone around me hurt, and it tortured me to know that I caused more hurt to others than to myself. So I made it fair. I cut myself, knowing I deserved it.

    I found my razor blade, I was going to leave a few more slashes tonight, and was contemplating how to hide my wounds till they scarred.

    That was ten minutes ago.

    Renee's story is a powerful one, one that reminds me that I'm a child of God. It gave me the strength to say enough.

  • this is up in my locker. <3 :')

  • This story is so well written :) i just keep listening to it over and over again....... <3

  • I went to the TWLOHA website and read this. I struggled to see through the tears\: this story is so sad \':

  • i went to TWLOHA.COM and hand wrote the entire story..i cried while doing it

  • I've heard this story before, actually, read it on the TWLOHA site. I loved it. Honestly loved it. Best part: she gives him her razor. that shows she wants to be happy again.if i cant help myself. i will support the ones, with all i have, who can help theirselves.

  • LitM<3

  • this is crap. the only one i feel sorry for is the girl, i'm sorry that these people would put out a story like this.. but anything to get famous, no?

  • @theDifferenceIsLight this wasnt an attempt to get famous. stop being ignorant. learn what happened.

  • @allstarglittergirl Learn what happened? I tried. I listened to this whole speech. But I guess I was distracted by the tackiness of it all. Bye.

  • @theDifferenceIsLight real mature there

  • @theDifferenceIsLight she's the the one that agreed to let this story out and yes to get famous or at least so people could know about them because the more people that know about them the more people that can get help it's very quite simple really

  • (cont.) and when you think you have nothing, your wrong. you have your life. no one can possibly know what tomorrow holds. you have to keep pushing. suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. it is never the answer. help is real. treatment is real. hope is real. spread the love. cause after all love is the movement.

    With love and hope,

    Amanda

  • this story is amazing. and everytime i listen to it or read it i cry. it hits me deep. i really think that twloha will be the thing keeping me alive in the end. im going to try and have twloha at my high school. to speak hope into any student that may be suffering in the shadows. there may not be many, but at least one. and to save one life is all needed. I personally send my love and hope to anyone anywhere suffering. you will get though it. (cont.)

  • i attempted suicide 2 years ago

    and regretted i didnt succeed

    so i cut and smoked weed

    2 years later i'm glad i did, i got an amazing girlfriend and the greatest friends a 16 year old guy can want, i told them everything and ever since then they have helped me with it all

    Love Is The Movement

  • But 1 guy changed it all He came in2 my ilfe & changed so much It scared me I was scared 2 get hurt But he helped me & I helped him We both stopped cutting 4 each other I luv him with all my <3 Hes still in my life even if Ive done stupid things He really does care He really does luv me I trashed my blade 4 him I gave up the pills Everything I luv him i love Kirk Hes really changed my life

    ~shelbye~

  • I remember when I used 2 cut & try 2 kill myself I didnt think there was anything 4 me in this world Things were going crazy with my life Death of friends & family, devoirce guys hurting me & almost being raped by my so called friends Alot of things kept bringing me down I was with a guy for months he lied and didnt care

    ~shelbye~

  • this made me cry! <3

    TWLOHA!!! :D

  • HAppy TWLOHA day everyone! <3

  • i just recently attempted suicide, and, by the grace of God, i failed. i am hoping to get my school to do an assembly promoting TWLOHA so everybody can see what i'm going through and what millions of teens are going through. i have never done anything like this before. as a matter of fact i've hidden in the shadows all my life. but now it's my time to make a difference. i have no idea what i'm doing but with the help of my friends and TWLOHA im going to change the world a little bit.

  • Your story, I'm sure, is inspiring. I hope everything goes exactly the way you hope. :) xx

  • @13mlc314 Man, I wish I could do that. I wish I could convince our principal to let me have a few minutes to read this, in memory of a girl who hung herself a few years ago and for anyone in my own class struggling with life. But I know I would start crying because I almost started crying just listening to it. Not because it's sad, but the amount of hope the just radiates from it.

  • @13mlc314 Blessed are the sufferers of pain. For your savior suffered for you, and died and rose again for your transgressions. Like he who will cometh again, you will see the kingdom of my father, our father...amen.

  • @13mlc314 If you want to change the world, come to my school, its full of judge mental people that have perfect families that think there life sucks when they get grounded, they dont understand that life is a free ride (i live in a rich town where everythings handed to you) they need to UNDERSTAND! but no matter what if you explained it to one person who didnt understand before but now do, thats one more person helping someone else :)

  • @13mlc314 How did you commit suicide. If you don't mind me asking. There are so many different way and I hope you change the world ALOT.(:

  • I remember my sister was doing a huge project about suicide and stuff, she won and got her picture she made for it onto a suicide hot line bulletin in my town

    i love this organization

    it pisses me off so bad that people in my town are making rude remarks about it...

    I'm promoting it into my home town and some dumbass kids ripped down ALL my fucking posters around the school...

    Dumbass student councel....

    Hopefully my benefit show that i am throwing will change everyones minds about this..

  • what jerks! who would rip down posters for such an amazing cause!?!? good for you raising the awareness :D

    god bless youu:D

  • what a wonderful story :) it made me smile and reminded me i too have hope and i can beat my addiction of cutting.....its going to be extremely hard tho :(

  • @GunsandRoses96

    way to believe in yourself.

    i dont know you but i know you can do it(:

  • who started TWLOHA?

    were they american, australia?

    who?

  • wow.

  • My friend is going through bad things, and she wants to commmit suicide. what do i do to help her?

  • @Unicorncherries what you do is be there for her tell her ways to get her mind of stuff....take her way from what ever is causing her pain..even for a little while. if she cuts...dont get mad when she slips...but instead..tell her calmly how much it hurts you...tell her how much she means to you. let her know how your life would be with out her.. be a sholder to lean on when she crys.. when she feels alone..try to make her feel speical. if you need more advice send me a message ill send my aim

  • Thank you. Im always there for her. I tell her about how much i would miss her. She did the right thing. She was too scared to do it. Im proud of her.

  • @Unicorncherries no problem im glad to help. if you need more advice about that stuff you can ask me..i been through it for whats going on 5 years now..

  • Wow thats long. Thanks for tthe advice

  • 1-800-SUICIDE

  • i normally cannot watch things like this, but i have goosebumps and tears are streaming down my face.

  • This is amazing, simply amazing. Thank you for this. It helped me get through a challenge this morning. God is good, God is great. God is everything. Amen. Thank you so much for this.

  • I use to listen to this every day on the ride to school for some reason. I printed out the story and put it in my binder then a bunch of people ask my "what is that?" and usually when I get bored during school I read it and I cut out the rolling stones article about twloha and re read that all the time. :)

  • Wow

  • i cried throughout the whole story.. then went and clicked play again

  • thanks

  • this is so great its like the only thing that makes since to me at all

  • i have spent 14th and 15th and 16th bday in places like phil haven but more secure..it came to the point were you got to realize feelings arent facts..they hurt and thats a fact but its a feeling and they can change facts cant...and if it was changed that it was never a fact in the 1st place.

    -love for those who need it

    **Mariah**

    p.s its only been 5 months since i last cut

    and a year since i tryd to o.d

    i know what its like guys

    just remeber

    you only have one chance

    you cant relive it

  • i dont know you, but i'm proud of you. gives me hope that i can stop. i dont think its gonna be for a while though. i just wish i had someone to love me

  • look around. there are people there, even if you dont realize it.

  • Comment removed

  • my facebook is under mitch salva just say its you when you add me and thanks for the chance

  • for me its been 3 months since my last attempt my parents never found out and the one friend i had in the world hadnt had a deep conversation with me since she broke up with me. I was at the lowest point in my life then guess what happened the rest ill send to you in a message if you want to hear cause its to personal for me to share here. so please let me talk to you because i think i can help just please dont be one who cant

  • can i hear your story?

  • this is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

  • but the ones that can will be and ill give my all to get those ones who cant be to be.

  • hey i wanna make some videos to encourage people to donate to twloha and i need some people to share their story..any takers? just send me a message

  • what how detailed do you want the story to be? (sorry for the english im and from germany im still learning)

  • i am currently struggling with my friend, to help her not commit suicide, but it's not working. i don't know what else to do. ::sobs:: please help?

  • that is the most amazing thing I have ever heard.

  • This was amazing! I'm so glad I clicked on this. At first I was pissed at TWLOHA for I've always believed that people never helped people, that they only cared about themselves, for hurt is all I've known and help wasn't going to come. Now I see that hope lies somewhere. For me it's hopeless, but I've been filled, with what I'm not sure, and tonight the bruises won't come, and the scissors won't look as tempting. I'll be my own savior! For I'd rather live alone, then die alone.

  • Wow!-this is amazing!

    Jamie and Renee r my heroes!

    nd Jamie writes amazing things! =*)

  • as long as ive been following this and hundreds of times ive seen this video, i still dont know that the pedro song there talking about, dos anyone?

  • Pedro the Lion was a band :)

  • This story is amazing.....such an inspiration to me. I always find encouragement listening to this story and watching renee's videos.

  • my friend alexa told me to look this up. when she found out about my problem. she and i share our problem but it was she who had the strength to reach out and suggest another option. we are both now in counseling, but she is no longer in my life, though she remains in my heart. she has inspired me, and now i am quitting. because she wasnt afraid to give me hope. to give me another option

  • where did you get Jamie reading it?

  • This story is beautiful. I've been a supporter since the first time I heard about it, but I have never heard the real story. This is such a great foundation. I am more than honored to be a supporter.

  • This is so imspiring i swear. I've never heard such words before and it makes me happy the fact that another life was saved. God is always there with you bt you have to choose your own path. Renee is so lucky to have friends like Ryan and Jaime.

  • =( crying from this. this is such a bitter sweet story. God can help. I have been through depression and just remember there is hope.

  • LOL! I just bought a crap load of stuff from their site after watching this.

    This made me cry <3

  • AWESOME video =]

  • best story ever.

  • a lil bit yea

  • i love twloha.

    it's a little strange, but the story makes me want to fuck my life up really bad, and then come out of it.

    i feel like it would make me stronger.

    is that naive?

    =/

  • not at all. Because I know EXACTLY what you mean.

  • :] thank you for that.

  • your welcome. I always want to tell myself "its ok to be like renee. She came out of it, so can you..and shes so much stronger now" but I know that thats not going to be the case for everybody. It was God's will that Renee had friends like Ryan Kirkland and Jaime Tworkowski, and even though He loves everyone, its not everyones fate to end up in a great life after something like that. and sadly some people dont get over stuff like depression...and that keeps me from doing that.

  • I know what you mean. and it probably wouldn't be a good idea for me because I'm prone to depression. But I don't know... I think I would be strong enough to come out of something like that. bah! Life is mostly chance, and some choice.

  • who wouldn't support this.

  • Huge supporter of TWLOHA, thank you soo much for making this video, but it seems to get to me more when i read it but this is a great video for people who can't be assed reading the story..

  • this is an amazing video :)

  • I love this video so much. Renee is such an inspiration and definetly my hero.

    If I only I were as strong.

    But thank you for posting this video. <3 it!

  • this was amazing.

    i put it on m myspace.

    ive known the story for quite some time.

    but in this form, its amazing.

  • this is beautiful, youve done an amazing thing.
