ESPN E:60 - The Jordan Burnham Story (2011 Emmy® Nominee)

[alexgweis]

This guy is an inspiration to everyone that struggles with depression. Thank you Jordan.

Y.O.L.O so make the most out of it, do good things/stuff, be good.

Noone tries to kill themselves because they fail their license test. Are you that ignorant that you're going to comment on this serious of a video that you clearly didn't watch? I grew up with Jordan, and he is a "normal kid", just like you said. Isn't that the point? ANYONE can be suffering from this. And if by going to schools and talking to people about his story helps just one person, its worth it. Do something better with your time, maybe watch the actual video...you may learn something.

Man, I'm crying. esfhudjc

to Dean, I really don't think he needs or wants your pity, or anything else you have. He didn't die for a reason and he received another chance. A chance to spread a message to a great deal of people going through obstacles everyday. if Jordan's story can help just one person seek help and get treatment and counseling then what he is doing will be worth it. I am so glad your life is so perfect and everything is so wonderful for you. I pray that your life continues to be so great !!

what is the music for this

[DeanSundheim]

So selfish... i feel absolutely zero pitty for him... people who attempt suicide disgust me, there is absolutely nothing worth killing yourself over. especially his situation.. what a baby

[HDsTaXx]

@DeanSundheim Ok, let me guess you love you life correct? You are probably a realy gifted individual? With a loving Family? Lots of friends? Girls or Guys like you? You dont know what its like to go through what he went through? He was diagnosed with depression! You dont have that so you cant even try to talk down to someone that does? If you dissapointed your parents this bad and had depression you would for real be upset with yourself. Dont talk down to people bro, God Bless You.

[DeanSundheim]

@HDsTaXx I live an average life, just like this kid here. Depression is bullshit, i don't care what people say, it's just an excuse for sad people. There's people who get beat up, raped, lose loved ones, etc. everyday! They would absolutely love to have this kids life. It's so hard for me to understand how you can take your life, there's absolutely nothing in life that is that bad. He though about suicide because he failed his drivers test.. that is absolutely ridiculous i don't care who you are

[DeanSundheim]

@HDsTaXx Also, there is never a reason for suicide. There are always other ways of going about things. Suicide is so selfish and stupid.

[HDsTaXx]

@DeanSundheim you just dont understand how he felt, so just move on, god bless

[HDsTaXx]

@HDsTaXx there is still no reason for you to attack him

[mrfish4lyfe]

@DeanSundheim Not trying to be confrontational but that is a typical closed minded idea to suicide that I used to have to until I experienced what depression, chemical imbalances and mental illness can really do to a person's thoughts and judgements.

yeah its selfish but the intentions are usually always never selfish

I met him 3-4 years ago when my sister went to senior prom with him. He's literally the coolest guy ever. I wish i coulda gotten to know him better. Now that he's famous, its pretty difficult! God bless you Jordan.

Powerful young man, People like Jordan who are willing to tell their suicide story, destroy the stigma surrounding suicide, and make it easier for others to get help!!

[JMcLovn]

Hard not to tear up watching this, I know this episode was an emmy nominee but 80% of theses e60 stories should be emmy nominees, one of the best shows on tv without a doubt, just wish it was on a little more.
