Such a brilliantly brave video. Thank you so much for sharing your story in such a public way, I think it's actually incredible of you to be reaching back out to kids now that you're an adult. Yeah, I'm not very eloquent right now but basically I think this is a beautiful video and thank you for making it.
This is a great video. Thanks for being so open and frank about a topic that makes so many people go silent. You clearly haven't forgotten to be awesome.
@Pivaxi awwwh! hi valerie! yeah, i never reported my abuse. i mean, aside from telling a handful of close friends when i was severely depressed later in life... like... this is my big coming out about it. i still have so much trouble coping. today has been so therapeutic. i really hope folks become more informed about the signs of abuse and how to prevent it. thank you for commenting. see you at frezned's shows!! :)
@Teeftlis Right? I just didn't want the video to be about the suckiness that is child abuse. I wanted it to be about how awesome and possible (possum? awessible?) a world without child abuse can be. Just being informed is so, so important! Thank you for watching! :)
@13percentdolphin I'm going back through my comments and can't remember if I wrote to you already. But thank you for watching, for your comment. I really hope you and the other counselors will research this and NEVER need to use the info. (because child abuse will magically end overnight? right?)
@MigdalaVered you did already reply, but no matter it's nice to receive thanks again xD I will definitely spread the word to my fellow counselors as well. (Of course! *sigh* I sure wish it did...)
@TursipielAlthins I do not mind at all that you posted Adam's video on mine. He and I met from P4A 2008, and we've hung out at VidCon. And I totally support suicide prevention, and awesome people like Adam.
@MuzakEqualsLife Thank you so much for this comment. I'm not always okay, but today was beautiful. Thanks for being a part of making me smile. I'm so glad I posted this video. I was very down on myself last week from memories and this is turning an awful thing into something better.
@JoshAnderson5 I'm still getting through it. Happens in waves. I hope you'll check out the info on the childhelp website. Even if you can't give money, a little time researching is just as good. <3
@AccioPancakes Thank you for taking an interest! I hope you'll look into the info on childhelp's website after p4a is over. You could help someone out someday. <3
@fatnerd18 Aw thank you! I hope you'll look into the childhelp website after p4a is over. They've got so much good info on how to identify and prevent child abuse.
@TheGreatBronsteenyy bahaha, right? I don't mind. I do know at least some of you guys watched it and got something out of it. Some is more than none. So, thank you. <3
@PianisteSansCerveau Thank you for watching, truly. I hope after the commenting craze you'll check out the childhelp website for info about how you can identify and prevent child abuse.
@livinonaprayer802 <3 I'm so glad if I can help you and your co-workers out a bit. Deciphering possibly abused children's behaviour and how to report it and handle that situation. The last link I posted is the most important one for info. I hope you'll take a few moments to look it over. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
@TheBeccabus awww, I just hate to hear about abuse. I'm so sorry for your friend. I wonder if I would have known about ChildHelp before, or been able to take part in their programs as a youth if I'd be a little more okay now. I really do think they're doing excellent things. I hope when the abused children grow up they'll be stronger than I've been.
@kateribethrose I feel so bad for those who DON'T survive child abuse. 5 deaths a day because of child abuse? Bleeeeeck. This just... absolutely has to stop. It is not at all acceptable to abuse anyone, ESPECIALLY a defenseless child.
@nerdtasticist It means a lot that you watched it. I hope you'll check out childhelp's website after the spamming is through. They've got some good info on there.
@SereneScene17 Thank you so much. I'm feeling really good today. I hope you'll check out the childhelp website after all the comment spamming is done.
@StageDreamer2590 ChildHelp is based in Arizona. But their website has info for ANYONE to utilize. And they host a hotline for the entirety of the United States, including the islands that aren't like "THE" US.
@mindlessdoodles It's okay. I understand that a lot of silly, meaningless comments happen during p4a. But I've gotten several very lovely ones (including this one). I hope after silly comment time is done, you'll research signs of child abuse and how to prevent or treat it. Thank you for watching, really. <3
@ninjapirate31 So... sososo hard. I still have trouble getting over it some days. But today has been wonderful. Thank you for watching my video. I hope you'll check out childhelp . org after p4a commenting closes.
@LuthienC haha I would have liked that. But it's okay. I might make a discussion video about child abuse and bullying after p4a (and Christmas?) are done.
@stuffbymolly <3 I hope you'll take some time, after all the spam comments of course, to look over the links I posted. Might save a life with the info someday.
@MigdalaVered Thank you for raising awareness and highlighting this cause. Sharing your story with the youtube community is such a brave and wonderful thing to do. Well done. This is the charity I've voted for :)
@kalamint I wasn't as a child. I never reported the abuse. I was a terrified thing. I really hope this video helps people learn more about the topic so we can all be more confident about ending child abuse.
