My Youtube Story

[LilMizzChatbox]

you are such a cutie!! I remember coming in from school and instead of doing my homework i'd watch you on twotube which i loved! then you did the rumour room and i just thought that was the funniest! i was so sad when they changed it and all the old characters were gone i don't really watch you anymore mostly because i'm in 5th yr now and actually have to do my homework! i've only recently discovered your youtube videos and i absolutely them so keep doing what you're doing!!!

[NaomiHStabell]

I LOVED "Back to School."

[SuperSpeckybecky]

I find this video really inspirational. how you started out with only 36 subscribers in 6 months and look at you now. I am a small you tuber and you've just given me hope and prooved anything can happen on this website <3 This is the first video i've watched of yours and I am glad I did :D thank you for sharing this with us Subscribed :D

and Merry Christmas and a Happy New year :D

[patsch4895]

You,boy have incredible blue eyes and you look like a Rockstar.

<3

[CharliiJo]

You're beautiful.

[alexis474542]

Who knew beautiful people could be so deep -333333 well...there is tom milsom, but he's not you. If ever you're feeling down, just @ reply me on twitter and itll make both our days :3 i make videos too, but they're no good. Im more of the performer tyoe than the video type, i guess. But i still love you and please forgive me for tweeting innappropriate things to you when im bored or tired kthxbye luf chu!

[katcolorz]

That's truly amazing :) and very inspiring. I want to start making videos but I kinda feel like youtube is dying out or that my videos will suck. But it's videos like these that keep the idea alive. SO, if I make a horrible video and decide to post it on youtube, I blame you! :) I love all your videos, they always make me smile :) <3

[LlamaLynn24]

How could you blend in? Your so sexy!

Haha your amazing, Stephen, and I'm so glad I found you : )

[EvilJirachi]

@LlamaLynn24 That says something about the people in ireland.

They must be all sexy...lol

[lunaleonheart]

@EvilJirachi Its not the Irish who are sexy, its actually all the foreign guys who are hot hahaha :D Some of the Irish guys are hot though, but mostly not :L

[XxEmoPrincessWolfxX]

I love you...you are my role model...I'm exactly like you...I'm shy an scared of people at most times. And I make it seem that I'm not. I am scared to share my dreams with them because they may think I'm never going to make it. Thank you for ur story. It's really inspiring. And again, your my hero.

[Raandomneess]

you are sooo inspirational! I almost cried when you said you were afraid to tell people that you wanted to be an actor ;_; oh, btw, i liked your first ever you tube show!

[IrissEftelinggFanxD]

And now 13 february 2011 you have a from all the way from Holland!

[JessePlaysGuitar]

[Rachey21stcentury]

:) <3333

[MagicalGirlBehoimi2]

I can never tell people I want to be an actor either... I have for a long time too, and I think people would just make fun of me for it... I'm not the prettiest or skinniest girl you'll see, after all...

You're pretty inspiring though. You won't see this comment since this is an older video, but I want to say thanks ^_^

Apparently you were shy like I am now, and that's inspiring to see what you can still do. Lol, I sound sort of like a fangirl. But yeah, i'm glad I joined YouTube I guess =D

[declanlover13]

you are the cutest! XD

you should really be in a movie, youd be great!

[filthygorgeous06]

I love you on this channel. You're so open and honest :) It's nice to see what you're actually thinking and how you've got to where you are now. More vloggers should be like this instead of being all about trying to be so over the top!

[NickRivasHD]

Awesome! Inspiring....

[HalloweenR5]

you forgot about Michael Buckley! I bet you got a big new American audience thanks to him

[felipezurbano96]

charlie is charlieissocoollike???

[francheskapugh12]

@felipezurbano96 skies.

no.

He dated CharlieSkies and now they broke up:/

[RaymondDove]

@francheskapugh12 its well sad :( especially after seeing videos like this one :/

[TheMusicGeeks]

You're so awesome Stephen, because of you me and my friend on our other channel are starting to make videos. You've got awesome hair btw. And as far as I know, i live close to you.

<3

[EmmaKat1876]

this inspired me to start making videos. :D

[minneymouseMRH]

I was one of your first 36 subscribers :]

and you deeply inspired my friends and me to create videos.

Of course we werent very good at all,

but we enjoy them :P

thank you. And still love ya :]

[MissJellyBeans101]

Aww, that was really deep Stephen.... I want to start making videos soon and you've just inspired me to start now. Big hugs! ( btw ure the cxiest man in Ireland by far) Xxxx

[ExesandErin]

Your hair looks amazing in this video.

Anyway, this really inspired me. I'm nearly sixteen and I'm that wallpaper you just described.

It kind of gives me hope to know that there's a chance I won't be like this forever.

[winniegal2007]

I met you at the Glasgow gathering 08 dont know if u remembe Lol was sooo long ago lol your awsome :)

[deathb4disco1]

Wow. That almost made me tear up :)

You're very inspiring and so thankful to your fans...I love that you're such a genuine person. Keep making videos!

[winniegal2007]

I met you at the Glasgow gathering 08 dont know if u remembe Lol was sooo long ago lol

[sexyfairygirl]

charlie? like a boyfriend? im last to know, or is this the first hes mentioned?

[Girlalous1]

Stephen I think that your brilliant i watch you on two tube all the time your brilliant i would love to make youtube videos but i'm too scared about what my friends would think. I love the videos

[luvu4evrhateunvr]

ah you look so young

[andybigmac123]

i well voted for you your awesome 

[sasukeichigo12]

i love you <3 i wish i could have been invisible but being a six foot giant with blazing red hair ((natural of course)) its kinda hard not to be noticed ._. i liked being the quiet kid in the back but you get what you get. your amazing always remember that =] if you were a nobody and became a huge star on television and youtube then anything is possible for people who think they have nothing =]

[MeIzzyBambi27]

5 idiots missed the 'like' button.

[TotallyLame123]

Daaww, amazing YouTube story. :')

Btw, in this video, you look like the better version of Edward Cullen. xP Hahaa <3

[SnapleStudios]

i love your videos there soo funny and ur kitten is sooooo bloody cute

[ItsMaryanneDude]

i love you stephen <3

[balloonslayer]

It would be awesome if you did what youtube doesn't anymore. As in, promoting other people. If you find a random person with a really good video, but not a lot of view, you could us your success and youtube fame to tell people to check them out. It's just a thought. You said you were disappointed that people won't get the chance that you got, but maybe they could if you helped. I don't know. It just seems like it would be really nice and helpful of you. Anyway, I love your videos.

-Shannon.

[xxxcurliixxx]

dude u rule!!

[MaggieeeLynn]

Honestly Stephen, yewr like a huge inspiration, yet not big-headed or anything.

Us fans will always support yew (:

[EmbracingFail]

[rachelmacc]

@13thelimit gosh.. no hope for me then :( 

[rachelmacc]

I LOVE YOU

[firefightermeath]

I still think this is the best my youtube story I have watched to date, if there is one as inspiring and so unassuming point me that way and prove me wrong.

well done Stephen

[motormouth911]

[JustColumbia]

[nichic96]

argh I'm so tempted to start saving for a good computer + camera ;}

I wanna be an irish youtube person too!

[thecoolestfreak]

if you would be an actor and you'd have to kiss someone in a movie, the next morning I'd go to your house and kick your butt.

[LoMarieMoon]

it's so funny that you said when you wen to class everyone asked if you were new because the exact same thing happened to me years ago when i entered high school. i tried to blend in and not stand out too much so when i started talking to others they all asked where i moved there from when i had been in their classes for years. i never heard anyone else say that before which makes me feel a bit better, although it was ridiculously funny.

[bitethekeyboard]

very nice hopefully you get that award. sends love from America :] Would love to visit ireland heard its beautiful

[56emolvr]

That is the most honest thing I've ever heard! Keep making thos videos Stephen! Btw, you haz awesome hair!!!

[KittyKat152]

I LOVE YOU STEPHEN!!!!!

Yer one amazing youtuber, I hope I get as big as you someday...

~Gabby

[SeanShowable]

Nice one stephen, very honest!

[vengefulasparagus]

Steven, you are such an inspiration.

[MokongX3M]

hhhmmm, if I remember correctly your first video (can't remember the name...and you removed it so I can't check) you were introducing yourself and explained your name as you wanting to try make 1 video a day, which I thought was a great idea and was looking forward to it (later 365project did it..i thinks that's the channel?)... then you didn't upload anything for ages and I was worried you'd given up... but thankfully you didn't, much respect mate :-)

[3sixty5days]

@MokongX3M You were the first person to ever comment on my videos :) <3

[neniainas]

[ZiiNikiBoom]

my youtube story is that my sister showed me you n phil last year n you 2 n danisnotonfire have inspired me...lolz im not nearly as popular as you (probably cuz im not anywhere near as cute as you) but youtube vids are a really fun hobby n i love it n even tho alot of ppl at my school are douches about it im so glad ive started! thank u!

[red0box]

Ever see that episode of Black Books where the guy has a Subbuteo player stuck in his hair? It would be hilarious if you did that on TV! ROFL I dare you to do it!

[birdrage]

I remember making a video response to the Because of Youtube video. :)

[red0box]

I voted. Not for you though. LOL. Just kidding. Awesome story. You're the guy on TV who says "and now - it's time for the Simpsons." LOL. Nice hair.

[thecoolestfreak]

you're amazing. screw the 4 people who gave thumbs down to the vid :P

[Katey912]

Your sincerity is absolutely lovely. Youre such a wonderful person. You deserve everything that has happened. Congratulations, and hopefully there are more good things to come. Cheers.

[brandonlovesmonkeys]

Does apartment red come on tv in Ireland? Like a legit tv show?if so That's so awesome! Wish I could watch it here in Cali! Stephen your videos make me laugh, and I'm glad you've got the success you deserve I'm glad your happy! :D

[TheThcQueen]

you are so good looking. :O

[TheThcQueen]

and your hair is so beautiful.

[MLEabductions]

you had 36 subs at 6 months? lucky xD

aaanyway, good job, i'm really happy for you(:

i actually really like this lighting, by the way.

[hellocustardhead]

Oh, what I'd give to be as succesful as you on here. Your story is very inspiring. I think I'm going to start making videos properly now. Thank you, Stephen.

[laurenrubybirr]

ur a weirdo but its cool

[Derych137]

I cried at this. Was soo inspirational.

[Bazzer239]

I've been subbed now for a few years and I've always tried to have time for fellow Irish Youtubers. There's been alot of exposure, RTE, The Apprentice and the very, very first Apartment Red with Jake and Karla and co was it? Being featured was like winning X-Factor overnight, it was great wasn't it? On an off point, hopefully more lighted hearted, but maybe change the lighting, thought you were a vampire :P

[Spamphie]

I don't really watch your videos often, but when I do I always remember how awesome you are. Seriously, it's videos like this that really makes me want to get in on it, even if it's just to express my opinions on things and have a laugh. My school experience was similar to yours, though it was a pretty small school so everyone did know each other, which was awkward because it meant people knew of me enough to want to make fun of me - not to say I never had good times in school.

[Spamphie]

@Spamphie I was however really quite in school, therefore didn't have many friends and no one knew how I really thought and such, heck, they still don't! :P

[handy1994]

[PutMeOnAPlane]

because of youtube is my favorite video from you. every single time i watch it i smile. i think i'll go watch it now. :]

[CensoredDownRevival]

Thank YOU Stephen. You are really such a beautiful person and I kind of got tears in my eyes at the end there. You've inspired me so much and I think I'm going to actually start making videos. Anyway, you have grown quite a bit with YouTube and you are good at acting (I usually can't stop laughing). Your videos never fail to make me laugh and/or smile. Keep it going and good luck for the future.
