Why did you say that suicide is for attention? That's just stupid. I doubt you have any clue what it's like to be in that place, where you just want to die and would kill themselves to reach that. You may have statistics, but you don't have any of the real emotion along with it. No one thinks it's "cool" to kill themselves. Most people call it, as you said "a cry for attention." It's not.
@TheLikeWoahhh: You haven't any right to judge us, and tell us what we did and did not do. Go sit in an ER for a day. Talk to the on call psychiatrist. Or visit a psych ward. Then tell us that not one person in this world does it for attention. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED IT FIRST HAND. And for you to say that we have no real emotion with it when our friend was the one who killed himself is incredibly disrespectful. It was made to help people. Not to live up to your so-called expectations.
When teens commit suicide its when they are depressed and feel there is no need to live on; and its pointless for them to be here. but they are wrong. thats why i hate when people are bullied. because they have no one to turn to; so everyone needs atleast one friend to lean on. like when teens commit suicide unexpectedly that means they had no one to seriously talk to...*personal thoughts*
suicide isnt desperate for attn. if a prsn isnt depress they cant kill thmslf. being hppy w fmly,frnds, etc. doesnt mean that they're hppy within. I was a teen, and was an outgoing person, i have frnds fmly that love me. i always act like am so happy arnd them. showing no sign of deprss. i tried to kill myself several times, but nobody no it. But i finally overcome it. what i m trying to say is, suicide is not a desperate for attention. it a depress.
This is one of the most amazing videos that I have ever seen. I agree with Evildarkme. We need to put this out on television, and in the schools. You can really help people. God bless you.
im friend's with alex...josh's younger brother and honestly ifeel reall bad considering alex is the one who found him. i try not to think of the day he died cause every time i do i cry josh and i werent always great friends but he knew me and i feel bad for bobby. i myself have thought of suicide but i stoped my self because i thought on what would happen if i did kill myself. so i havent done it and to be truthfull ive trid 22 times for many different reasons
this was an amazing video it pushed me away from my thoughts when i saw his brother. i almost ended it all when i thought i was unloved by everyone, my parents treated me horribly and the one girl i thought i loved more than anything said on valentines day,she didnt love me she loved some jock i was on the brink of the knife i remember having the pen to write the note in my hand i was going to smother myself and then my friend called and invited me over he saved me. friends save...thanks joey :)
sorry if the comment was graphic but i needed to get that out, i know adult and doctors are always thinking "what leads people to suicide" me it was feeling useless and unloved, it wasnt a cry for help or attention i genuinely felt unloved. i give huge praises to the creator of this video it was expertly made. i see a career in documentary making or directing you have a talent. Best of luck. Thanks again :D
This is a great video, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. The person who put this together, did a good job of getting information and facts. I lost a brother to suicide, and this helps to know that I'm not alone in trying to help save a life.
THIS MAY SOUND REALLY BAD BUT how did he like die i know suicide but wat way? IM REALLY SORRY FOR THE BAD COMMENT BUT I JUST KINDA WANNA KNOW .......IM SORRY PARENTS AND OTHER FAMILY I RESPECT THIS DUDE EVEN THO I DIDNT KNOW HIM IM SORRY
hello everyone i am josh's brother cameron and this was a very tragic accident, I MISSS AND LOVE MY BROTHER SOO MUCH AND I KNOW I WILL SEE HIM AGAIN SOMEDAY!! but to all of you people out there thinking about it.. don't do it you have sooo much to live for, talk to someone , if you don't have anyone to talk to go to a psychiatrist or ssomething ... don't take your life and hurt others who care about you
I am Josh's dad and 3 years ago today I buried him.His sister Olivia & bro.Cameron miss and cry for him so much and I dont know what to do to take away the pain 4 them.I can only reassure them that he is watching out for them and he is in a better place and we'll see him again.The loss of him is killing me but I MUST be strong for them.If any of you are thinking about taking your life,PLEASE DONT!!IT WILL GET BETTER,I PROMISE.YOUR PAIN WILL PASS,BUT WITHOUT YOU,OUR PAIN IS F O R E V E R!!!!!
Surely, it will get better. 29/M After my probation is over-( I was falsely accused).
& after severe symptoms of Asperger Syndrome are gone; if Medicare starts D allows me sufficient medication qtys. that I was formerly taking, &; 4) when I get a NEW FAMILY. I'm age 29 male-- cannot concentrate enough to watch ANY TV/movies. Never purchased music in life time. I'm U.S. white citizen. Mom gave me holiday gifts last year-I poured bleach and scratched out tags. THRIFT STORE DONATION!
What if parents never wanted me in the first place,gave me up and met them at 19 & till today i am not part of the family, i have no friends really I have no friends at all only people I know in msn that is my only social life and my jang put spot,i have no job, no money,live with someone because i have no other place to go unless i become a homeless once more in my life because no one is there and have never been,abused,laughed at,in jail for sving my baby and taken away with no psbl cstody.
Good point. Or get imprisoned for "false accusations"--lose money in legal fees and job---have TREATMENT RESISTANT depression, Asperger Syndrome (which is NOT a TEMPORARY problem); seen psychiatrist and counselor for 15 years since teen, and treatment only helps MARGINALLY, still homeless, because SSI doesn't pay living wage. Depression interferes with CONCENTRATION and PRODUCTIVITY STANDARDS in terms of employment ability--NOT simply "feeling bummed out". Just further examples...
You must be very strong already. Try to get a job, even a little one. It will make you get out there and meet people, give you a purposeful feeling about yourself. Keep strong, you are doing better than you may realize. God Bless!
I was laying unconscience on a floor because I couldnt take it anymore, could be dead but woke up some how, now after treatment and my best friend talking to me, she can realate I have been okay for almost a year now. I was under a LOT of stress from school for three years, and my mother screaming for not doing well enough, that bad thoughts took over and I ended up in a major depression episode that was clinical. THRERE IS HOPE PEOPLE DONT GO NOW!!! Depression is one of the mosr treatable.
i never cry during movies in books, only extremely rarely, but this video made me cry so much, even though i don't even know this guy that's just so sad :(
i can see why because his friends had so much problems and he realized he was like a broken tool, and of no use to them anymore. saw all problems and regrets and try to help but soon realized he cant, all he was doing was temporarily masking thier emotional pains
this could help people, who have lost love ones lik ethis, or ppl who r thinking about suacide. verry good, and beauthifull vid! soory for your lost. wish the best for all of you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Indeed suicide is a tragic loss and the ones that commit this unforgiveable act do need our prayers- especially so at the celebration of the Eucharist. So please see your heretic Christian Priests and have them commemorate Joshua in the Body of Christ!!
sometimes you leave eveything inside for so long theres nothing left...i'm a cutter i have attempted suicide over 30 times and thought about it many more...he may have seemed happy but everything could have been eating at him...anyway have any questions u can ask me. bye
Hey guys. This is Brittany, I am one of the creators of the film. I want to thank all of you so much for coming and watching our film. I hope everyone is more aware and will pass this video on to everyone they know.
Oh man, when Bobby was there talking about his brother brought tears to my eyes. That's so sad to lose someone you love so much so young. I don't know how it feels to lose a family member to suicide, but I've been there myself. And it's only because of my friends that I'm still here.
A very sensitive film about a subject thats not really talked about..
That sounds clinical; the fact is that life sucks and life is hard and cruel and its certainly understandable while someone would contemplate taking their own life..
I remember after my friend died.. Christ that was fucking rough, but I was lucky to have good friends then..
16 is too young, far too young. You don't know anything at 16. Shit, I'm 38 and I'm still a fucking idiot, I know I don't have a clue
To those of you who don't know Josh's whole family,he has a brother named Cameron and a sis named Olivia and I as his dad can tell everyone this has devastated our family but we are doing the best we can.Thanks for remembering my son
You are trying to look and treat for the "symptoms" leading to suicide. But you are failing to see the "CAUSES" for the "LEADING SYMPTOMS" to committ suiced. Have you ever heard of,
1. DEEPLY CARING SOCIAL CULTURE?
2. STRONG FAMILY STRUCTURE, SOLID ROOTS & UPBRINGING?
3. STRONGLY FRIENDLY NIEGBOURHOOD & SCHOOL SYSTEM? Find out why "suicide" is more prevalent in USA than Europe, Africa, Asia or the rest of the Americas. WHY?
thankyou to all of you who watched mine and brittany's video. thankyou for your positive feedback. after seeing how badly a suicide has affected all of my friends and myself... i know how hard it is and i would never want anyone to have to experience it..
especially josh's family.. "JoshuaDandreaDAD" i know josh misses you, jean, bobby and alex sooo much. and im thankful that i knew him. he was such a good person and im sure he has everyone smiling in heaven. <3
rawartschool: i know that you mean well, but if you have never been suidical and had the feelings that it comes with, you don't understand.... I'm a cutter, and it is hard to find people who understand..
At first, I was about to Sucied myself;however, there must be a legal way to die without incountering Lucifer or any dark forces. Since the person who made this video is closer to God, I want him to give God the father this message : God,untill you talk to me, I not only coming after you, but if you do not reply soon, I will go to the extremes to mess your reputation up, and prove you are a fraud! God,stop ignoring me, or you will be sorry.
1) I've been through many experiences of suicide. Either from friends or myself. 2) Usually people dont do it for attension. No one does it for attension. It's just like self injury, it's an escape.
If we cannot handle life, why can God Almighty give us either a reason to live, or after we allow him, just take us off of earth? God to me nevered made any sense...BTW I definaly know that God is eiter lazy, igorant,cocky or just playing a dumb game on earth to we wise to a certain degree. God is a player hater and cannot stand the fact that some people need help. Like his bible says "Be ye perfect as my father is perfect"...Yeah right!
I don't think God really enters into it. The world is our relations with one another and how we treat one another
You don't necessarily need faith in God to find life beautiful and a good thing, I think. Perhaps just faith in other people and that people are generally good at heart
(1)I am Joshua's father and want to let you kids know that I truly believe in my heart of hearts Joshua did not mean to take his life it was a tragic accident.Suicide is not the answer it is a permanent solution to a temporary problem
(3)I miss my little boy more then anyone knows and would surely give ANYTHING to touch him, hold him,and tell him"daddy loves you" Kids, PLEASE reach out to someone for help,life has so much to offer,I was young once too and thought"my life sucks" but it got better and your's will too,I PROMISE. Bye for now, Josh's Dad
(2)The devastation this has had on our family is to large to measure.There is not one day that goes past that we don't miss our son.When you catch your breath for a moment and think,"I can do this" BAM!! a thought of happier times spent with Josh fills your mind and the tears start flowing.
2. I have read through a few postings and kids, if you are even remotely considering suicide, please please talk to someone, there is ALWAYS someone out there wanting to listen, just find that person. I know being a teenager is hard, but if you can just make it through these next few years you will see how great life is and will one day wonder "why was I ever thinking of suicide".
I just wanted to comment on a few items. 1. Girls, the video is nicely done and very thoughtful, it made me cry, I hope that your message gets out to others and helps to save a life.

People who want to suicide, I think, are just too coward, they just think they won't make it, without really trying to. They have a pessimistic approach, and they say themselves "oh Gosh, I won't make it, I wanna end it all, I don't wanna suffer anymore"
Suicide is the worst solution to end anything. Suicide is a coward's solution.
This movie makes me cry. Sucide is a way out, and for who ever calls it the easy way out, dosent know how it feels to feel pain inside for so long. Kids today are seeming to get it more these days. Parents thinking that... oh there just kids, what stress could they possible! LOL Bullshit. Are they that blind???
theres multiple reasons for a person to even feel suicidal its never just one specific reason. i myself have attempted suicide at least 6 times... its never just one reason and never for attention.... not a *real* attempt anyway. usually its becasue you give up. you say to yourself "what the hells the point of all this? never ending pain and suffering...who would care anyway? no one." usually people who attempt were abused or neglected and the majority have mental disorders
You girls did a great job doing this. I really mean it all of you did. Britt, Melissa, Lee-c all of you did great. Made me cry seeing this again was worse seeing it on here then when I was watching you guys do it. Missing all of you!! Tommy
wow.. omg. this is such a great video. When Josh's little brother said, "he died" I started crying.. it was so sad.. wow.. suicide is a horrible thing. I've been suicidal and luckily got help. This video was great. You should get it seen by perhaps schools.. anyway.. I'm so sorry for your loss..
Some of these comments are completely disrespectful. It's a shame that this type of behavior often causes these types of incidents. This was an excellent documentary. You should definately continue to bring light to topics such as this.
i've always hated the phrase "a cry for help." i've struggled with suicidal feelings myself, and that phrase is misleading. if you're truly suicidal, you don't want help; you don't want others to catch on... you just want to end your life. one of the biggest concerns for those who are suicidal is not being found out before they attempt it. "a cry for help" is someone who still wants to live. as for the rest, they unfortunately make it happen.
Suicide is Always a bad option! We have one life and should make the best out of it. Experience as much as we can. Bad things happen, but good things happen too. There is always a way out - you just need to reach out for help. this video does not judge - it was made to help.
how naive to think that suicide is just a cry for attention.

I don't know
Maybe it can be a cry for help
Maybe not
Its certainly done to get out of a bad situation, from a situation one feels one can't get out of, a situation thats grown intolerable
In that kind of situation (a broken marriage, a failed business) it can be seen as a legitimate action to take
I'm sure a lot of times there are signs, cries for help that crop up, but most of us don't think someone we know will take their life..

(2)The devastation this has had on our family is to large to measure.There is not one day that goes past that we don't miss our son.When you catch your breath for a moment and think,"I can do this" BAM!! a thought of happier times spent with Josh fills your mind and the tears start flowing.

2. I have read through a few postings and kids, if you are even remotely considering suicide, please please talk to someone, there is ALWAYS someone out there wanting to listen, just find that person. I know being a teenager is hard, but if you can just make it through these next few years you will see how great life is and will one day wonder "why was I ever thinking of suicide".

I just wanted to comment on a few items. 1. Girls, the video is nicely done and very thoughtful, it made me cry, I hope that your message gets out to others and helps to save a life.

People who want to suicide, I think, are just too coward, they just think they won't make it, without really trying to. They have a pessimistic approach, and they say themselves "oh Gosh, I won't make it, I wanna end it all, I don't wanna suffer anymore"
Suicide is the worst solution to end anything. Suicide is a coward's solution.

This movie makes me cry. Sucide is a way out, and for who ever calls it the easy way out, dosent know how it feels to feel pain inside for so long. Kids today are seeming to get it more these days. Parents thinking that... oh there just kids, what stress could they possible! LOL Bullshit. Are they that blind???

theres multiple reasons for a person to even feel suicidal its never just one specific reason. i myself have attempted suicide at least 6 times... its never just one reason and never for attention.... not a *real* attempt anyway. usually its becasue you give up. you say to yourself "what the hells the point of all this? never ending pain and suffering...who would care anyway? no one." usually people who attempt were abused or neglected and the majority have mental disorders

wow.. omg. this is such a great video. When Josh's little brother said, "he died" I started crying.. it was so sad.. wow.. suicide is a horrible thing. I've been suicidal and luckily got help. This video was great. You should get it seen by perhaps schools.. anyway.. I'm so sorry for your loss..

Some of these comments are completely disrespectful. It's a shame that this type of behavior often causes these types of incidents. This was an excellent documentary. You should definately continue to bring light to topics such as this.

u know my brother commited suicide in front of me when i was 4 years old he shot himself in the head after telling me that i shouldnt do what he did.

i can't even imagine what you experienced. interveining with suicides has been horrible enough.
PurpleShampooMohaw 4 years ago
i've always hated the phrase "a cry for help." i've struggled with suicidal feelings myself, and that phrase is misleading. if you're truly suicidal, you don't want help; you don't want others to catch on... you just want to end your life. one of the biggest concerns for those who are suicidal is not being found out before they attempt it. "a cry for help" is someone who still wants to live. as for the rest, they unfortunately make it happen.

The gravitas is kind of negated by the folks who put omg in their comments. Although the Suicide is a sin comment was amusing.

sorry for your friend.... but you shouldn't judge... sometimes suicide isn't as bad an option as you say
bpoil 5 years ago
Suicide is Always a bad option! We have one life and should make the best out of it. Experience as much as we can. Bad things happen, but good things happen too. There is always a way out - you just need to reach out for help. this video does not judge - it was made to help.
