Can you please post a recording of the production on youtube? I, unfortunately, live in Pennsylvania, so I can't make it.

@iAmTheTrueSlenderman I have the footage I used for this preview. Of course, it was a rehearsal so there are some kinks. I'll talk to my director and see what I can do. I don't know if we will be recording the show.

its true. its sad that it has come to the point where anyone can get bullied almost anywhere. fortunately ive never been bullied and trolls please i could care less. but people can take things to heart and feel like their better off dead. its good that people promote this so that kids who do feel this way can get help before its too late cause life is a gift to receive and it's sad to see it wasted

because you are strong by the way i have considered suicide but i thought to myself this is so not worth it you can stop yourself you just have to believe in yourself and think to yourself there just jealous of my awesomeness and ignore them they will get tired of picking on your after awhile because they also get bullied at home by there parents as for people with eating disorders you have a few bumps in the road of life but you can overcome them believe in yourself and you can do anything

@umbreon666 I agree that people should be stronger then to let what a few people (and in some peoples cases what a lot of people) think get them upset enough to do something so rash. But the thing is, some people grow up with parents who don't care and don't teach them that they are in charge of their life not others. And the sad thing is people who don't help are either denying that something really is wrong or they think that they will just deal with it.

@foreverhonest0 Actually that is the biggest message behind the production. It shows people what a lot of people go through growing up. A lot of the stuff that you don't see or notice, it shows how the boy gets yelled at at home, then goes to school only to get put down even more. And the girl it shows how society really does play a big role in anorexia, how from the age of 3 and up we are told how we should look if we want to be happy. It also shows a good insight on what they are both thinking

@foreverhonest0 I'm not wanting to come off like I'm saying that you aren't right or anything like that. I'm just stating the message we are trying to send to the public about the terrible things people are going through. I haven't personally thought about suicide but I had a friend who attempted but was caught both times. This play has really helped me understand what she was going through. It was written by someone who experienced the trauma, the hurt, and the pain.

i really don't want to sound like a jerk. But i understand, but thing is and i hate saying this. But the people who commit suicide are very weak willed. You need to have the will power not to let people get to you. And the people who say they will help you need to get off there ass and do. It if someone is picking on you and if a teacher doesn't help, they never do then find him when he's alone and kick his ass. and remember your beautiful the way you are don't ever let things get to you

@umbreon666 But if you are in the area on February 3rd, 4th, or 5th, please feel free to come and watch the show.
