  • im still goin through being judge but thank yu b scott

  • love ya doll your amazing and a huge inspiration and am not even gay

  • Love is never late, so as always and ever more with each day, LOve You B Scott....

    continue to do you cause you help us all do us, in grace. You are a blessing born walking the earth. : )

  • I really relate to this video beacause i've really been rejected my entire life b/c, I wanted , stood for, went after, & was blessed to have more. I've learned that people hate extreme difference b/c 1.) Either your diffence may cause them to question themselves internally. 2.) Or They fear your difference may out shine them or Both. I now say to haters,"That's why God is always gonna see me thru & bless me above & beyond b/c I don't sit around hating and thinkin bad thoughts on others."

  • ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS.... I may be late, but I LOVE IT!

  • The 5 people who dislike this video are the ones who have that special place in hell reserved just for them.

  • you are such a inspiration...

  • You are a blessing from God B scott.

  • I say if your a mother and a REAL woman or father and a REAL man or even both you will raise your children to be accepting of all types of people gay, straight, black or white and there's always gonna be a special place in hell for a bully even though I'm not gay I've been teased and picked on because I'm unique and it wasn't until now that I finally realized I have a future thanks to my family and my friends :) if it wasn't for them being there when I really needed it I would not be here today

  • Let me explain something to you and all the people who have been disowned. Its not your fault that your family and friends have turned their backs on you because of your sexuality. My youngest son is gay and I am not angry and I love him. Because he likes men doesn't make him a monster. I knew my son was gay when he was a child. Be strong and never think of hurting yourself because you and my son are one of Gods children. You are and will always be loved no matter what.

  • thank you sooo much b you made me feel better and your videos always touched my heart including the funny ones :O)...no matter how rough life will get..im still going to walk with my head held high and don't worry about damn thing but..myself !!!!!!!!!

  • This video really resignated in my heart and spirts. I remember there were days when I was so alone. When i sat on the playground and someone would call me a fag are you a girl? You got a little sugar in your tank! Why is your voice so high pitched. To one day in woodshop class and one hick comes behind me and puts a knife to my kneck and say;s Do YOU WANNA DIE FAGGOT!!!! Let me tell you. thats was on of many lows. but i know if you stay true to yourself and never falter you can make it.

  • Thank you. <3

  • BScott is funny, hes charming and totally adorable. He makes us laugh like hell the boy is just crazy and can tell a story so well, he is ridiculously entertaining but when it comes down to it BScott..Brandon Scott Sessoms is just a truly caring individual and just watching this and countless others like it you can clearly see his soul and feel that the message he is conveying though to a total stranger is truly from the heart...Thats what makes me Love BScott

  • This video is so powerful. Got nothin but love for you b.scott. You are a true beauty. 

  • God gave you a special heart, B. Scott. There is something about you that brings forth the immaculate enlightenment that people need these days. Always speak the truth to these people: these psychological killers that prey upon innocent young men and women. Show them that you cannot judge or condemn people for who they are; something that is inate and cannot be changed. As a fellow VLogger, I also take upon that duty. It's my treasure, and I value that. God bless you, B. Scott. Goodnight.

  • Beautiful... very touching <3

  • i am really touched by this video seeing that i am a bisexual female and i have been raped three times in my life and i also have that feeling of being alone and of not having anybody i have cut myself and burned myself because i was constantly tortured and terrorized but with god my family and love i know i am somebody this video really touched me in many different ways lets just hope that it touched many more to come

  • Damn! I don't know about anyone else but....... that was THE REALIST SHIT I EVER........ HEARD IN A LOooooNG TIME!!!

    Thanks B. Scott for all you do! :,0)

  • I want to thank you so much B.Scott. I'm fortunate enough to have family that accepts me. But I feel for the person because I understand how it can be. You truely are a beautiful person and you just make me feel so much better about myself.

  • I don't feel stupid saying this, but I love you B. Scott.

  • I happened to watch this at the right time. Thank you, B. Scott.

  • THIS VIDEO IS THE TRUTH!

  • Comment removed

  • You are such a nice guy.

  • well i'm not gay but people can't see me 4 me after i was gang raped and beat 2 death but u is soembody

  • I can relate to this video so much because i have a lot of the same problems.

  • All ic an say is thank u B. Scott!!

  • I love you B. Scott, you helped me so much with that video. I love you so much, bro.

  • omg i love this video!.... and i miss ur curls!!:(

  • In life, we all as individuals face trails and tribulations(gay,straight), but fighting a war physically and emotionally because of your sexuality is rarely understood by most people,who are not gay. While acknowledging that fact that ignorant people will always exist, find Love within yourself. Self worth, along with focusing on the people who do accept you will make a big difference in surviving each day in hell which we call earth. At the end of the day it's you and God baby.

  • This video is a life changer (for me at least).

  • Adoro-te B. Scott. Os seus videos servem como uma inspiracao para tantas pessoas. Eu sou negro e gay e os seus conselhos tem me ajudado me conhecer e lidar mais com a vida diariamente. Gostaria de agradecer-te do fundo do meu coracao. Espero tudo de bom para voce. Beijos e Abracos do Brasil.

  • You have no idea how much this video helped me when I first saw it B. Scott. Thank you so much!

  • I agree with BlueMouse07! You SOOO needa be on tyra.. Love ya B!

  • you should totally beon the tyra banks show and share your love and knowledge with the world.

  • GOD BLESS YOU BSCOTT!

    May God continue to bless you and may all of the positive energy continue to fulfill your life with love and success!

    I have much respect for you, and I am so appreciative of you extending your hand to provide help and guidance to this individual! I hope everything turned out OK.

    Your aura just emits so much love and strength, and it makes me tear up!

  • Unfortunately god does make you that way... You need to realise that being gay is in your DNA. Thats who you are.

    Did you chose to be the height you are now?. If so, write back x

  • As sad as this is I know I am going to have to watch this video again one day and possibly break down whilst watching... The consequences of following a dream are not and I WILL not let it be greater than the triumphs that lie in it...

    Thank you B. Scott for being there for him and all. xxo

  • Thank you B. I'm 21 now, but life is still very hard, especially with the city that I live in. I come home everyday from work and watch at least one of your vids. Just something to make me smile and make me know that everything will be okay.

  • how would you know?

  • Being gay is not a choice. You cant change what arouses you! You think I can just suddenly wake up with a hard on for women?

    NO its not that easy!

  • wow.....dang B...u gt me cryin

  • I do feel that SOME people make a choice, however, there are some people that came straight from the womb gay. I have met little boys that had completely masculine fathers, mothers who tried to make them as manly as possible, and they have been feminine since day one. As soon as they were old enough to discover their sexuality, there was no surprise that they were gay. The same thing for women. At any rate, I love people for who they are, no matter who they choose to love.

  • Nice grammar style. :) For real.

  • Truely inspiring, made me cry =')

  • that's so sad, but i am glad that you could be there for someone. god bless you.

  • i love u so much b

  • You, B.Scott... are absolutely amazing in every sense of the word. Thank you for representing light and love. This video moved me beyond words.

  • i love you bscott

    you dont know how much you have touched me

  • Blessed.

    Wolfe

  • B.Scott you are so amazing.

    I can't even explain.

    I love you.

  • bscott i love ur soul and everything about u !!!

    you're truly something special !!!

  • Thats awesome B.Scott.

    You will be more than okay. <3

  • You are real and may god continue to bless you with the gift of touching others lives.

  • it would be nice to find out the update to this situation...is the person ok now?

  • BSCOTT...THIS VIDEO IS LIKE SUPER OLD BUT I'M JUST SEEING IT.. THE MOMENT II SAW YOU CRY I WAS LIKE II REALLY LOVE YOU.! I don't even know you but i've watched your videos and it really lifts my spirit i just love watching you...ii even told my mother about you!!!!!! I don't know your just something super special i don't care what anyone says.!

  • Thanks B Scott

    You really inspire me

    <3

  • im goin thru alot a guy played me ahain

  • B scott you reach alota people.. I know that you probably dont read all your coments but i think that you are truley a gay role model.. I think that you are a strong man inside and out and i think that your show is ovah.. I just started doing my shows but i have been watching you since i moved from hollywood off of sunset and n seranno to atlanta ga to birmingham alabama.. I lthink that your great. And your something spectaculiar Q

  • I have a gay uncle and the family loves him very very much. I am very happy to have him in my life because it makes me very loving of ALL persons in the world. I believe that having him in my life will make me very comfortable to have a lebian daughter or gay son...to me its about how you love, not who you love. I am sure that this video helped that yound man. Keep doing what you do, it obviously is helping people! xoxo

  • B.Scott! I love you!!

  • B.Scott, you are a true genuine soul and you have been placed on this earth to help others in ways you probably cannot fathom. Seeing this just reminds me that there is purpose behind helping others who are lost in life. Thank you for putting "goodness on blast".

  • you can have my heart on my hand....I'm so much with U....thank U B.Scott

  • This has to be the most touching video I've seen, so deep, I connected with every word you were projecting. I admire you so so much, keep doing what your doing, because I'm sure their are many people you've saved because of your videos B. <3

  • It takes heartless shells to turn their coldness unto other people who are different and make them feel like shit.I'm not gay but i come from a really homofobic society...and hell i've always been different so why stop now...BScott love your videos and your personality.And for those out there who are different just brush em off!

  • b you have helped me get over a lot and i thank you <3

  • omg!! I LOVE YOU B!!! DON'T STOP DOING WHAT YOU DO YOU HELP ME ALOT WITH THESE VIDEOS

    TE AMO MUCHO DARLING

  • aww baby u strong for putting this out online n i so understand how u feel u lost most of my friends and family member when i can out and told every body i was a lesbian but u kno wat i Didnt Stop Being Me.

    I LOVE U B

  • That is so relating to me that's exactly what i am going through right now this moment of time. Its so hard! and i was thinking about arming myself. its so fucking hard. getting kicked out and be living in the street everyday cant find a job. i hate my life and i hate being gay. why did god make me gay in a such homofob family why i don't deserve this!

  • dont let it get you down baby things will get better *hugs&kisses*

  • Good Lawd,what is wrong with these folks?

    My sister is gay,she was damn near shaking when she told me,due to how afraid she was of my reaction. I love my sister,our brothers love her and so does our mother. I mean,my sister is my partner for life.

    It's okay,B! We love ya,darling. To all my gay brothers and sisters,I got a hug for ya'll!

    People need to leave other people alone. Shit,it ain't none of your business what other people do.

    B,you got such a big heart and God loves you!

  • The poor child. If you're watching,baby,don't hurt yourself. God got you and there are people in this world,like me and others posting who don't give a damn and don't judge. Not all straight people are ignorant ass mofos.

    Pray,stay strong,and know you'll make it.

  • You have no idea how much you touched so many people, including myself, I was like that at one point, but I got through it because I know deep down that I'm LOVED!! All of us should rise above the hate and love one another, and treat people the way you want to be treated...And once again, Luv Ya B!!

  • i luv you soo much for doing this!

  • i was there three years ago. i'm only 17 now. but i'm better now

  • God bless u b. scott. my play brother eric commited suicide last month for being picked on....he hung himself n the bathroom at school leaving a note sayng"to those who hated me for being me"

    i miss him soo much..thank u for this video

  • im glad u made this vid because i am a former cutter and i tried to kill myself b4 and if i had videos like your back when i was going thru i wouldnt have been thru the things i been thru

  • This is ridiculous. Why must ppl put others down? R u so pathetic that u must tear others down? Homophobic ppl make me want 2 puke. Ignorant bastards...={

  • I totally agree!

  • its ok boo boo, i love you, lots and lots of hugs <3

  • I am sad to say in todays society we are quick to judge but slow to respond. This young person is reaching out for help and his own family has condmned him. What bull! B thank you for doing what you do best darling which is take your expereinces and help others through their situations.

    My personal preferrence should never be the first thing you look at when judging my character. Judge someone by their actions not the life choices they make for themselves.

    Luv ya B!!!

  • i love you. you inspire me. your amazing and thankyou for making these videos

  • Let's hug right now boo boo.

  • Hi B

    My parents have always taught

    me that being gay is a choice

    but i always knew that wasn't true, like how could yu choose that,

    and they told me god doesnt aprove

    but when i watch you i know,i know that god lives in you and i love yu b.scott stay blessed

    14yr old female

  • i love you b scott! ::internet hugz::

  • TOCHED ME BEYOND WORDS!

  • AMEN!.

  • This is so touching......I Love this side of you

  • B.Scott, you help give us permission to be who we are. Thank you.

  • thanks 4 making dis video! its helps!!

  • no one has the right to put another down just because his/her orientation or difference does not fit with what they consider norm...God created each and every one of us, differences and all, in his own image and if God saw the beauty in His creation, who is someone else to dismiss it...God loves us, God has a purpose for us and God will see us through, regardless of how bad it may seem now, He is always with us...TAKE HEART, GOD LOVES YOU :)

  • I was the kid on the playground with no friends either. I was there too...

    But you are so right, you pick yourself up and there is a reason to live whatever that reason may be life is beautiful and worth struggling through.

    There will always be people who put you down and criticize who you are, but you have to realize they are only doing that because the qualities we dont like in people... are usually the qualities we hate within us. Hold your head up high...

  • ohh B scott.. you tocuhed my heart .. this is the most amazing meaning video i've ever seen.. i love you .. and it broke my heart to see your tears..

    i'm going through the same and i'm being botherd a lot of times .. so it was really helpfull for me to watch this video .. love you

  • B. Scott is a shining light in a dark area :)

  • u reallt touch my heart with this video and i know yhat u touched alot of other people.

  • B.Scott you really touched me in this video I am always being judge by everybody around saying I'm leading the wrong life and i dont see it that way...in the lgbtq community I get looked dwn upon because i say im a lesbian but sometimes i might be interested in a guy its very rare that this happens but i feel alone because i dont have anybody to talk watching this video moved me and made feel so much better thank you so much hun u are truly an ANGEL sent from HEAVEN

  • U're a strong person B Scott. Be proud of that. I know you are.

  • I respect you B.Scott for the person you are. I love the fact that you are comfortable in your skin. I hope more people can be accepting and wake up and see that everyone is not the same. A life is precious you should neve make someone hurt because of their sexual orientation. That is their identity..

    iLy B.Scott!!! muah

  • b scott u are a special person and you were sent here for a purpose and u are fulling it with your videos

  • I've been slowly getting through all of your videos but when I happened upon this one. I felt so compelled to be there with you to give you a big loving hug. If I were your friend growing up with you, those mean and hateful people wouldn't have been able to scar your loving heart the way that they have because I would have single-handedly B****-slapped each and every one of them. Please continue with the good works God has singled you out to perform.

  • Oh wow i have much respect and love for you. But after seeing this video it allowed me to see a whole new side of you and truly shows that you really do care and are so very genuine. You are definitely a motivation for gay people to be ourselves and forget about others and what they think. Keep it up and stay focused on what you are doing...because we as your love muffins definitely appreciate it.

  • Your videos give me a whole new perspective on things. They really cheer me up, keep it up BSCOTT!

  • OMG. . .your totally cooooolll B SCOTT. . . I like watching your videos. . .and your ficking gorgeous. . .LOL. . .stay beautiful & keep up with the videos. . .but I understand personally exactly where this video is coming from. . .

    muah

  • B Scott i love you and i think this video can be an inspiration to any young boy or girl who feels they need to take their life because they are different, you said it best that there is a special place in hell for people who bully and make fun of other people. <3 you

  • I feel you B! <3 This made me cry 'cause I can relate...I have a hard time trying to be myself. And I care too much of what others think and what my family thinks. But you...you inspire everyone to be who they are! At times it's hard but...you've told me not to give up. That...threw all the bad comes good xoxo tysm words can't describe how much of a great person you are.

  • You see B Scott, you are what heroes are made of.

  • b scott i love ya style, babe, that necklace is cute..but this message is beautiful...be you and stay u...people are creul..they do it to feel better bout themselves!

  • Lawd have mercy, I will never understand how people can be so cruel. I actually dropped out of high school due to teasing and being made fun of because of my weight. It's hard when your a kid, parents need to start doing a better job of teaching there kids that words hurt more than anything! I would knock my son out if i EVA heard him say anything to put anybody down for any reason! B. Scott God Bless You because you words are needed. You give me hope :-)

  • this iz wut im goin thru..im 14..and the ppl that i thought were my friends ..turned their back on me ...and now im startin 2 feel alone..i dont have any1 2 talk 2 but GOD!..and without him and B.Scott..and my mother..i wouldnt know what 2 do!

  • this video made me cry. thank you so much b. scott. god bless you!

  • I feel You B Amen to That!

  • Thank you B Scott. I love you.

  • That was beautiful! :D:D I can relate to it..

  • you really touch my heart...i just started watchin your videos like a couple of days ago and i've been glued to them since. you make my day betta and im sure im speaking for a lot of other people...please continue to do what your doing! you are loved...:)

  • That was a really beautiful message B.Scott. I'm so glad I discovered your channel. God bless!

  • BScott, you should never apologize for being emotional.....you have a BIG heart, and this video is proof of that. Glad you decided to share. I will remember this, and say a special prayer for subscriber...i don't know them, but God does. "Lord please encourage this particular person BScott is talking about, please touch their heart and encourage him/her to stand in midst of their storm".

  • i have been there myself life was not easey and it still isnt for me at times being made fun of is so hard to deal with i am almost 30 and i still get treated bad but i will get even

  • u jus made me cry, i can't believe tears r actually falling out of mii eyes right now. i knw wat ur talking bout. i had a dream that sum1 on youtube was gonna talk about this and its u.....

  • i admire your courage and glad you were there for that person. you touched somebody who was in a place where they had no hope and you inspired them to not give up. keep makin videos. they bring joy to the hearts of many.

  • really needed to hear this.God got a plan for me and I will fullfill my dream.NOW I'M SURE! thank u

  • This hurts me to watch...

  • i be goin thru it too! but this video helps me a lot!

  • B, i really needed this, thanx 4 your loving spirit and guidance, it is because of messages like this that i feel proud to be who i am as a human being. Thank You! :)

  • i feel so sorry for those guys. hope everything is gonna be alright 4 dem and they gotta be strong cuz god will always protect dem even if so people dont like dem 4 some reasons, God is there 4 ya so..... be strong!!

  • you are a wonderful person for this video and i feel you i believe some ppl are born that way

  • How do you disown your child? I mean you may not like them but they'll always be your child... i don't get how you can kick them out though...

  • i cant say dat i knw wat u & dat young man r goin thru but i understand kuz i had a friend who was gay & he took his life kuz his dad didnt accept him he felt like he didnt have any1 2 turn 2 i knw dat he's n heaven now .this video touched me .ppl can be cruel these days & its sad. i sit back & wonder why ppl act da way that they do. idk its just sad. whether ur gay str8 or bi shudnt matter kuz @ the end of the day we're all people! we're human beings with feelings & we should be treated as such

  • Oh B,i can sympathize with u guys. There are so many small minded in the world that fail to realize how much damage they can do in someone's life by throwing those emotional stones that they pelt around so carelessly.Some people can be so full of hatred and rotting os much on the inside that they act out on others.But to the person you made this video for:I hope all will be well with you & i hope you realise that NOTHING is worth hurting urself or taking ur life for.Love yourself and live!xoxo

  • B. Scott I love you baby. I know how the pain can run deep, but you have grown to be a beautiful person. Your videos give me hope and they help me to continue to love myself. I am so thankful that God gave me someone like you, because I am still learning to accept myself. Your advice and honesty gets me through. Thank you so much for being youtube doing you. I love babes!

  • man i totally can sympathize im straight so i cant empathize i havent been there but i know my gay brother and his friends go through that and sometimes people look down on me just for sticking up for MY OWN FUCKING BROTHER bcuz hes gay WAT THA FUCK! people like that piss me off and i love you, u are totally fabulous FUCK THEM!! this one had me in tears and i cant wait for people to realize cuz its like exchangin gays for blks in slavery this is BULLSHIT,srry im just mad abt this topic imma stop

  • yeah and we ALL should know that SLAVERY WAS AND ALWAYS BE FUCKED UP!!!

  • I agree with hotgurlamber101.......ppl should not be that way...and as long as parents are teaching hate......children will suffer from now until the end of time....unfortunately.

  • thnks gurl

  • you're welcome!!!

  • dang b. scott.

    that's deep.

    keep ya head up.

    love you!!!

  • THIS ONE MADE ME CRY :(

  • my heart goes out to all of the people going through this.one of my close friends is as a fabulous as you and everytime i hang out with him i see people staring at him and i could just imagine what he's really going through even though he covers it up and just ignores it.me and my other girlfriends always defend him everytime one of our guy peers say something to him.but i know that we're not always gonna be with him whenever some jackass tries to act all tough and *ish.and that truly scares me.

  • B Scott I love you, you're such a positive person. I really think you do a lot for people so please do go on. You're a perfect example for a human being! You're beautiful on the inside and on the outside and YOU INSPIRE PEOPLE TO BE GOOD AND STRONG!

  • I love ypu so much B. double kisses forreal

  • The good posta out weigh the bad but its crazy how the negative things bein said to us stays with us for a lifetime.B.Scott, im a witness that a lot of ur videos has saved my life.Your words of encouragement has made me put down the knife,drop the bottle of pills, and step away from the balcony.You are a voice to the voiceless, and strength for those who dont have any.Ur love muffins love you B.Scott.We're in this together, not alone.Thanks 4 all u are and what you have done B. God Bless

  • I think about that all the time because I am bisexual and im scared of that kind of world. im scared that if i came out i would be rejected to the world and to my family.

  • feeling you totally....

  • i think we have all been there. some more serius than others. i aint gon put all my stuff in the street cuz idk who sees this but, in my own way, i know exactly how that feels. and i know what it feels like on the other side when life is good. you just gotta find wat you need in YOU. peace.
