fuck this kid my life is 1000000000000000 times worse than his and he killed hisself fuck his coward ass he killed his self hes a fucking coward lil bitch made ass nigga
One of the most poignant, beautiful, tragic and REAL documentaries of depression (teenage depression at that) that I have ever seen. I have seen it a few times and each time I cry.
I viewed the entire documentary and it's clear that his bipolar started off right when his parents told him about how is late uncle (whom he never met) committed suicide and that's what lead him through the rumination about death. It's ashamed that he killed himself because he had good friends, a loving family, and good grades in school. Most kids don't have all of those things and they just go on with their lives (most of them at least).
This family is a train wreck. Evan was, incredibly, probably the sanest one of them all. No wonder he wanted to get away. If I had parents and older siblings as self-involved and narcissistic (the sassiness of the homosexual older brother makes it all the more irritating) as these, I'd have felt like killing myself too.
Exceptional doco. Parents very courageous: we need more films like this. My only quibble, or concern, is not the obvious: I don't have a problem with his funmeral being filmed, or photos being taken of his seemingly histrionic hanging suggestions. His parents are filmmakers, Evan was depressed. What worries me is that Evan attempted suicide from rooftops, etc. Yet his bedroom had access to an open window and sheer draft drop. Should he have had a lockede window? He was impulsive, afterall. R.I.P
lo acabo de ver en HBO y de verdad me hizo llorar, no tenia idea de lo delicada que es la bipolaridad.........que dificil decision para evan y que dificil para la familia tener que vivir con esto.
Wish it really had point other than to scare the he'll out of parents. All I took away from it is that there is little that you can do to stop a child from suicide.
What sucks the most is that he was so pretty =[ I know it seems shallow to say that but he was very pretty xD Lol. Now as far as the suicide, he was so selfish o.o I mean killing yourself is just plain selfish, and a little bit of a coward act, but mostly very selfish >=[ Oh not to mention rude v_v A huge imposition. I think that caring about "What am I going to do now that he/she is dead" I'd be more worried about funeral costs and what to wear to said funeral >_>
@friendly406 I see what you are saying but there is nothing cowardly about jumping out a window. It takes bravery to do that. He was mentally ill and in his mind he thought he was doing them a favor by being gone. Thats the difference between your mind and his, why your here and he isnt.
@soniasonia No it doesn't! It takes like motion and gravity xD It's cowardly to kill yourself, no matter the means to do it. I've jumped out of windows before, with some flair and a stuck landing... My point is that I just don't agree with suicide period. I understand that he had some depression or whatever but still, It doesn't click with me o.o
@soniasonia What are you trying to imply? That if I'm young I "don't understand"? Young or old, I get the complexity of things. Yet reasons are a non-issue, I just simply don't agree with it. However, it seems as though you were too intent on finding excuses and explaining reasons for his suicide to understand that. That said, this exchange has moved past my point of interest. Thank you for your time and attention but this tête-à-tête was going nowhere from the beginning. Good bye.
( continued) The problem is bipolar disorder is an invention made up by the prescription drug canals to steal peoples money, to make people think that they have a mental disorder when they don't. What is lacking is directed pain. When you direct the pain properly, depression does not exist.
@JamesTKirkCobain you are very ignorant my friend. Whe he went off the medication is when he killed himself. The medicine saved him as it did for my mother who is also bipolar. ANd as for your "Try running a 10 mile race and tell me how depressed you are when you finish" A depressed person wouldnt leave there house to even do that. As someone who suffers from Major depressive disorder I am highly offended by your "depression doesnt exist" mantra. Nothing horrible happened in my childhood, (con)
@JamesTKirkCobain I have no deep seated pains caused by a horrible life. I have a chemical imbalance in my brain that no matter what I cant feel happy/staisfied about anything with out medications that help create those chemicals.
Like my Great grandfather said who survived the holocaust in Treblinka: "Depression doesn't exists when you are starving." I can understand life sucks with the media constantly pushing human shit like Lady GaGa and Kanye West down your throat 24/7, but guess what? You don't have to open your mouth. You can walk away. You can choose your pain. Try running a 10 mile race and tell me how depressed you are when you finish.
I know so many pople who say: ''I'm so depressed'' and they are so not, they are just a little down because of something stupid. It sucks how they use the word Depression without even knowing what it is. This is not something to joke about, this is something serious. Depression should not be a word used lightly
There I saw The beauty of a boy I barely knew, From a distance. A friend from spaces and times. The sparkle of daylight In his eyes, But at night-time The demons that haunted him. We were of same kin. I can see What he just lately saw, And I can feel What he feels now - times ten thousand. Tormented by lies, Yet truth brings the Light, And there he was forgiven. All for love And love for all.
i'm bipolar and depression its the worst of the illness makes you have this awful toughts and you can't get them out off your head doesn't matter how hard you try their part of you so i know what he went thru. hope the best for his family.
@tvimez god I know exactly how you feel. Everybody thinks you can control it but you can't and you're stuck in this game of tug-of-war with your mind. It's horrible.
It's sad how people do this but what people dont understand is why they do it. People sometimes says its dumb too commit suicide but its cause they dont understand what suicidal people go through everyday of there life whether its at school, at home, or anywhere .it doesnt matter where you are cause most of the times some person around you is probably going through the same thing.
please respect him because this isnt a joke. sadly people kill themselves everyday cause of depression. :(
I have depression and now I have to take meds for the rest of my life because it helps. I've been put to a mental hospital because depression makes you feel very unhappy and I was to a point were I wanted to kill myself to end my unhappiness, but not anymore I'm ok now. I'm really looking forward to watching this movie
I too bawled my eyes out. I too having myself suffer from Manic Depressive Bipolar can relate to this poor boy on such a huge scale and way. I too believe that one day I will end things having tried to already 8 times. I feel so much pain for him and for his family
in my opinion, the doctors who perscribed his meds killed him. disorders are made up by psychiatrists based on "behavioral patterns" and then they are given the most DANGEROUS drugs. How do they diagnose? By watching them for a few minutes. That's it! To fully understand this, chech out the free museum in hollywood put out by CCHR.ORG. (im not affiliated with them in anyway. I just wish every parent would go through this museum)
@didnthaveto I see your point. Sometimes meds help and sometimes they don't. In any case mental disorders or distress is a family issue. You cannot simply separate the one person. Parents play a part and should be included to find out what the fuck is going on. Part of mental health is having your individuality celebrated. Even our public schools choke the life right out of us.

It's brilliantly done. But I've never seen anything so totally excruciating. It's so difficult to find words to describe the film. Watching it is such a severe kick in the gut. For his family, I guess it serves as a memory, a legacy that they chose to share with the world. But there's no moral to Evan's story. No explanation. And the viewer feels an overwhelming sense of tragedy and grief. I watched it last night and it's still haunting me. The film is almost too powerful.
@silentsurfer2004 I love your comment! It was well stated, and well put! I share the DVD of this film with all the teachers I know!! I think ALL teachers should watch this! It should be the Law!! I have shared it with all my friends and 2 school teachers!! They agreed that it should be viewed by all teachers!!
I feel for Evan and his family, it's so sad that this happened,. To anyone dealing with depression, self-injury, addiction, and suicide, go to twloha.com . It's an organization that promotes community and awareness to break the silence of these issues. Each one of our stories matter. You matter.
thanks God that even if everyone passes through such a phase when's a teenager & more kids feel it 10000 times than others,everything has a solution...i had a solution...i almost got to be bipolar & just when i saw the movie i found out.The director knew what she was doing,she's helping people even now.I don't know if i should say this but i chose to live for my mom because she was the only one in my family i feeling close enough to me& got well and then she died...& im grateful i chose to live.
@danutzxxxxxx I'm glad that you chose to live too. :) That you chose to smile again, and wait for the sun to come out. Sometimes it feels impossible to see that there is a solution, that things will turn around and get better. But we push through and come out on the other side of it a stronger and happier person. You are important, you matter, and your story matters.We are meant to share our stories & by doing so, helping others see that hope & help is real and possible. Thank you for sharing :)
well this is heart breaking, it's the second time i see the documentary and it shocks my whole being even now... tears just want to flood me... gosh what a handsome sensitive boy... mental illness is not something you can joke about and like those fellows from the institute who helped him, in such cases you gotta be strong and let him know he's the kid and you're the adult, he just has to be a kid and stop trying to be an adult. Anyway his eyes were in some way telling something is wrong w/ him.
OMG im in tears i knew evan we went to school together he was a year old then me i been trying to find him on facebook and i heard about this documentry i remember him as be popular and fun to be around, i also remember he went up on the school ruff and was going to jump but his friend and the swimming teacher talked him out of it i was in the 4th grade i miss him so much it breaks my heart that he went through with it he was always so great to be around :(

i am left in a trance with this movie. Its a touching movie and very heartfelt. This poor young man tortured with no hope. Very sad because he was sooo loved. From the movie, you can tell he was intelligent and had such charm. Rest in Peace Evan! You will be missed. :)*
I watched this documentary before work today and I almost couldn't make it to work today. I am on the verge of a breakdown even now, there aren't enough tears to shed for this beautiful boy and the mental illness that eventually took him from this world. I am so sorry for his family and friends. I can't imagine the sadness of those who knew him, since I know nothing but a documentary and still feel like I can't breathe when I think about his story. God bless Evan and those who knew him.
i too felt like i knew him by watching this doc. my heart goes out to those who held him touched him and heart his laughter and tears cuz it HURTS me so bad and i didn't lose like they did so i can't even imagine your pain. what a beautiful beautiful boy. physically beautiful. and i'm sure as beautiful inside as outside. how this boy didn't have girls all over him, i'll never know (which is usually, for a 15 year old) a means of feeling "loved" "worthy" .. such a waste. such a beautiful boy.

i didn't used to take mental illness as seriously as i should have.
i watched this at a time when depression was not only in my life but the biggest thing. and that's what mental illness is, it blurs your view of everything and sucks the hope out of life.
please take this shit seriously people because it's real
i dont understand this story, on tv says he had found a gun adn on computer it say he just threw himself off a house or whatever it was.... theres like 2 different stories and i dont understand now how he died
@briangurl24 ....I watched and the only time I remeber a gun mentioned was when he was younger I think he jokiingly mentioned using a gun to kill...when he killed himself he jumped out his bedroom window
I didn't cry..I was just like..Wow Evan was just like me..Wanted to die..But I was helped..And I don't try to attempt anymore..But Evan felt there was no way out and kill himself..It hit home to me and some ways effected me in a good way
goodness how mental illnesses are so heart breaking. in order to keep a mental illness from peeking, you have to make sure that you take your medication when you are perscribed to take them.
Evan is the perfect example of a reason why depression may be a hard thing to go through, but why it also makes people more emotionally aware of others, and more sensitive and enlightened than other individuals. There are other ways to be more sophisticated at a young age than having to go through depression. I just wish more people were like him though(as far as being more insightful)
they shouldnt have taken him off his meds when he asked. if i was him and i asked my parents to take me off my meds it would only be to make it easier for me to kill myself. i think thats what he was thinking. he had already planned to and was oing to do it eventuallly :(. and depression especially mixed in with other illnesses is the most aweful feeling in the world. rest in peace evan
they took him off graudally because they thought he was cured, because he had been acting normally for like 2 years. and like you said, he was going to stop taking the pills and kill himself eventually :(
One of the best and most heartbreaking documentaries I have ever seen. The Perry's have opened their lives to us and we share their grief through this extraordinary film. I feel their pain and their love for Evan and each other. I thank them for sharing their son, their lives, and their love with us.
This movie broke my heart, made me cry like a baby and I've had Evan on my mind ever since. I saw another website where they attacked his parents movie and said some messed up things about Evan that enfuriated me. God Bless You Evan.........
when i watched this film it made me feel for evan so much. i feel like i knew him. and with that said, lost him too. well made documentary. i hope i have half as many people who loved me as evan did before i die
God I´ve just watched the movie and I´m speechless!!! My heart is aching and I can´t express what I´m feeling right now!!! Such a handsome boy, talented and smart!!! But such a devastating desease!!! I know a few people who say they´re "depressive" but after watching this video they´re nowhere near to be depressive!!! They´re just faithless!!!
I saw the movie and I was like...omg, I cried so hard at the end and when his friends was saying something about trust after he read the suicide note. God bless him and his family
Wow, what a beautiful & talented young man...I'm so sorry to his dear family who did absolutely everything in their power to save him. Thank you to his family for sharing your story, it has GREATLY helped people like me understand mental illness better.
I praise Dana Perry for making this video. This video made me cry and cry. He was all the things he thought he wasn't. He WAS Talented, Funny, Smart, Sensitive, and a Handsome Young Man. It is such a sad occasion and I am sorry for his family's loss. I hope this video helps someone who needs to be helped. It certainly has helped me. Bless his family and Damn it Evan, we miss you!!!!
i did actually no him cause i have the same therapist he had n i met him a couple times n usually he was quite n i saw his therapist cause i 2 almost try to commit suicide n its not like oh my life sux let me just pull the trigger no its not like that at all its so complex so ik where he is coming from the only difference between me n him is that i got better
man... I wish there was someway i could help . RIP evan.
I really dont understand why kids make fun of people, or all the things that kids to to gain social status. but yea, evan was probley enduring more pain in his mind than social status. I feel really sorry for the parents, and family.
hes really handsom :) but this is really sad. I heard about this about a week after it happened when i was in the 5th grade, because i live in manhattan. i never thought anything of it, but now watching this documentary 4 years later, i realized how serious and sad it really was.
what really fucking pissed me off was that the parents only drugged him up and sent him to therapy they only asked him once if he thought about suicide and he said no but they saw how he was and they believed him.. parents if your kids are like this and they say theyre okay.. either they dont wanna bother you or they dont want you in their way

people who commit suicide, Who REALLY WANT to commit suicide, will do it. I do not blame Evan's parents at all. I TRULY BELIEVE they DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD. Evan would have eventually taken his own life one way or another. Whether it was then or 5 or 10 years down the road, he would have done it. I will say, taking him off the medication was probably not a good idea due to the severity of his mental illness. God Bless Evan and HIS FAMILY!!!
This video has change my life and the way I see my Bipolar depression and how important is to take your own medicine, God bless you Evan, and your family too. THANK YOU, for this film. Thank you for helping us.
Saw this lastnight...it's so sad how much he was loved by everyone. It made me think about how many times he'd be in his room contemplating & beating himself up from this illness...thinking why this is happening to him. 15 years was to short of a life. I pray he's happy wherever he is & that he's not feeling the pain he endured when he was alive. Noone could do anything more but love him.
i watched this todayy. so sad. i cried but i know he is in a better place and him and his family will always have a place in my heart. rest in peace evan scott perry.
the psychologist really bothered me. nothing he said sounded like he knew what he was talking about. but maybe he did and i just didn't hear him right.
he looks like someone i know which is so disturbing to me..
There's so many things I want to say, but I can't...8(.

And the viewer feels an overwhelming sense of tragedy and grief. I watched it last night and it's still haunting me. The film is almost too powerful.

@silentsurfer2004 I love your comment! It was well stated, and well put! I share the DVD of this film with all the teachers I know!! I think ALL teachers should watch this! It should be the Law!! I have shared it with all my friends and 2 school teachers!! They agreed that it should be viewed by all teachers!!

I feel for Evan and his family, it's so sad that this happened,. To anyone dealing with depression, self-injury, addiction, and suicide, go to twloha.com . It's an organization that promotes community and awareness to break the silence of these issues. Each one of our stories matter. You matter.

thanks God that even if everyone passes through such a phase when's a teenager & more kids feel it 10000 times than others,everything has a solution...i had a solution...i almost got to be bipolar & just when i saw the movie i found out.The director knew what she was doing,she's helping people even now.I don't know if i should say this but i chose to live for my mom because she was the only one in my family i feeling close enough to me& got well and then she died...& im grateful i chose to live.

@danutzxxxxxx I'm glad that you chose to live too. :) That you chose to smile again, and wait for the sun to come out. Sometimes it feels impossible to see that there is a solution, that things will turn around and get better. But we push through and come out on the other side of it a stronger and happier person. You are important, you matter, and your story matters.We are meant to share our stories & by doing so, helping others see that hope & help is real and possible. Thank you for sharing :)

well this is heart breaking, it's the second time i see the documentary and it shocks my whole being even now... tears just want to flood me... gosh what a handsome sensitive boy... mental illness is not something you can joke about and like those fellows from the institute who helped him, in such cases you gotta be strong and let him know he's the kid and you're the adult, he just has to be a kid and stop trying to be an adult. Anyway his eyes were in some way telling something is wrong w/ him.

I watched this documentary before work today and I almost couldn't make it to work today. I am on the verge of a breakdown even now, there aren't enough tears to shed for this beautiful boy and the mental illness that eventually took him from this world. I am so sorry for his family and friends. I can't imagine the sadness of those who knew him, since I know nothing but a documentary and still feel like I can't breathe when I think about his story. God bless Evan and those who knew him.

i didn't used to take mental illness as seriously as i should have.
i watched this at a time when depression was not only in my life but the biggest thing. and that's what mental illness is, it blurs your view of everything and sucks the hope out of life.
please take this shit seriously people because it's real

Evan is the perfect example of a reason why depression may be a hard thing to go through, but why it also makes people more emotionally aware of others, and more sensitive and enlightened than other individuals. There are other ways to be more sophisticated at a young age than having to go through depression. I just wish more people were like him though(as far as being more insightful)

they shouldnt have taken him off his meds when he asked. if i was him and i asked my parents to take me off my meds it would only be to make it easier for me to kill myself. i think thats what he was thinking. he had already planned to and was oing to do it eventuallly :(. and depression especially mixed in with other illnesses is the most aweful feeling in the world. rest in peace evan

they took him off graudally because they thought he was cured, because he had been acting normally for like 2 years. and like you said, he was going to stop taking the pills and kill himself eventually :(

One of the best and most heartbreaking documentaries I have ever seen. The Perry's have opened their lives to us and we share their grief through this extraordinary film. I feel their pain and their love for Evan and each other. I thank them for sharing their son, their lives, and their love with us.

what really fucking pissed me off was that the parents only drugged him up and sent him to therapy they only asked him once if he thought about suicide and he said no but they saw how he was and they believed him.. parents if your kids are like this and they say theyre okay.. either they dont wanna bother you or they dont want you in their way

people who commit suicide, Who REALLY WANT to commit suicide, will do it. I do not blame Evan's parents at all. I TRULY BELIEVE they DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD. Evan would have eventually taken his own life one way or another. Whether it was then or 5 or 10 years down the road, he would have done it. I will say, taking him off the medication was probably not a good idea due to the severity of his mental illness. God Bless Evan and HIS FAMILY!!!

Saw this lastnight...it's so sad how much he was loved by everyone. It made me think about how many times he'd be in his room contemplating & beating himself up from this illness...thinking why this is happening to him. 15 years was to short of a life. I pray he's happy wherever he is & that he's not feeling the pain he endured when he was alive. Noone could do anything more but love him.
