You make my heart warm, Adam. Know you are a fantastic person.

[TheLostGirls2]

Powerful stuff, the words you speak. DFTBA

[GalanNorman]

Thank you for making this video Adam. I am a phone counselor who answers 1-800-SUICIDE calls and it is so encouraging to see somebody else reaching out to help others who feel so hopeless. I know that you already know this, but by speaking out you are helping break the silence that makes so many people feel so alone in this battle. I truly thank you for that, and for being willing to speak out. If anyone doesn't know where to turn, please call 1-800-SUICIDE. We truly want to help you live.

[NeilSonOfNorbert]

[mochabean234]

This is a stunning and powerful video! I am only sixteen but already I have lived through the death of one friend by suicide and the attempted suicides of three of my best friends and my cousin. Never forget hope! Don't try and cope alone, get support. Remember somebody always cares, even if you don't think so, you will effect someone's life, you will!

<3

[angelsinthewindow]

For a very long time, I would tryed to kill myself..... Thoughout the time that I knew you..... most of thoughs smiles that you saw me doing, were mostly fake or empty. I never actually got to the point that I could but I tryed many times. I'm on pills now so it helps a little.

[mandapantsyeah]

I like you<3

[MichelleTells]

i dont like you based on your comment, but I don't even think that you should. I think you need to leave now.

Adam <3

[livin4hymn]

Very powerful vid, Adam =) Glad you made this video. Letting people know that they matter and are loved is so important. This cause along with TWLOHA and HopeLine have done so much to help, but it's very much friends, family, and other individuals that make the biggest difference =) Glad you stayed with us, so that many more could be impacted by your story and caring.

[araneus1]

Always hope.

spider.

[Uhurahears]

hahaha - yes. John Green. My fault, I was not being clear at all, I apologize. It was the music on your NWYT Gathering this past summer.

[Uhurahears]

So Adam I tried to find the music on SMHH site - scrolled down in a tiny box looking - no way...didn't find. Is there a simpler way??

[vulcanbirdbrain]

wow man

that all i can really say

DFTBA

[QuiteAware]

I loves AdamTheAlien.

Brilliant video, Adam.

Welcome, new Alien subscribers.

[TGal227]

Imagine how many comments there would be on this video if every reply Adam made were counted as a comment...

I think it would be a lot. And probably way more than the number of views.

[TGal227]

because the current amount is very close to the number of views

[Droid116]

Great job, Adam. Thanks for making the video. Very moving.

[Uhurahears]

Great, great, great job. Some stat i read a long itme ago said a large percentage - maybe 20% - were spur of the moment, non pre-mediated attempts, especially done by younger people. Which I find even more scary. Both your bravery in speaking and your gratitude for life are inspiring. Thank you for posting.

[Cin3ris]

Great cause =)

I'm glad you're still here with us.

[bibbib91]

Comment people. :D

[bibbib91]

[bibbib91]

Yay!

[Kimbahley]

I could really do with Salt and Vinegar chips.

[livin4hymn]

the names we call most native american tribes are actually their enemy's name for "enemy", but the names they call themselves usually mean "the people"

[Kimbahley]

Kantata originally meant 'village' I think, and the settlers assumed Canada stood for the country. We fail at country naming.

[theamberyone]

GO NERDFIGHTERS!!

[Kimbahley]

I had pizza last night. Boooo yeah.

[missysue]

cheese pizza is good

[Meyvol]

My blood moves like the ocean tides apparently.

The word "nerd" was first coined by Dr. Seuss in "If I Ran the Zoo."

[Meyvol]

It isn't broken, our levels of awesome just can't be read.

The modern day word "meloncholy" derives from "meloncholia", which comes from the latin word for black bile. Ancient and medieval medicine recognized four main fluids in the body: Yellow bile, black bile, phlegm, and blood (the four humors). An excessive amount of black bile was said to cause depression and other mental illnesses.

[TheGreyLadies]

The hippocampus is a small area area of the brain that controls short term memory. Hippocampus come the Greek words "hippos" and "kampos", literally "horse sea monster". Hippocampus is also the name of the genus that seahorses are in. Early scientists thought the part of the brain looked like a seahorse.

[Kimbahley]

Standard letters are measured in points. You know what a point is? It's 1/144th the size of the French King's foot. But I don't remember what king that was at the time.

[Kkxlovesxyou]

we need to go go go

[theamberyone]

[valerie2776]

Earl would get CRUSHED. :)

[FancyNewAmie]

A fear of long words is, ironically, called "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedali­ophobia"

[missysue]

that is ironic

[BluesDrive504]

poopie

[tv555]

Earl stumbles over words

[BluesDrive504]

OK. I say Hank because I stumble over words.

[TheGreyLadies]

Modern english defines a billion as one thousand million (1,000,000,000). Many other languages define a billion to be one million million (1,000,000,000,000).

[theamberyone]

i think hank would win

[TheGreyLadies]

The English language commonly uses "blue" to refer to any color from cyan to navy blue. However, many languages, including many east Asian and African languages, do not have separate terms for blue and green, instead using a single word for both. At the same time, some languages, like Russian, Italian, and Hebrew, have different words for what English calls light blue and dark blue. This is the same as the English distinction between red and light red (pink).

[BluesDrive504]

whooaaaaa, lots info

[FancyNewAmie]

Hank would beat Earl, sorry Earl.

[kira902k]
