  • I'm watching this today on January 23rd 2012. and the video was posted back in 2008.

  • Five and half months - I have not cut nor' burned myself.

  • This is random, but I unknowingly did my make up like hers today...

  • the ending. made. my day. worthwhile. ♥

  • You....are beautiful

  • Im atheist.. so is that bad that i support TWLOHA? i need help just as anyone else.... but... i dont believe in a god or Jesus or whatever. Is that bad to everyone else who supports?

  • @XxKrYsEpAsKiEtxX No, you can be a part of this even if you don't believe in God. I don't think TWLOHA only wants to help those who believe the same things that they do. Even Jesus helped everyone when He was here on earth- the hated, the rejected, the demon posessed. He wasn't exclusive, and I don't think they are exclusive either.

  • @XxKrYsEpAsKiEtxX Oh, and I hope you get the help you're looking for. It's not easy, but it is possible.

  • @theFloatingShip thankyou.. i hope to.

  • @XxKrYsEpAsKiEtxX I think that Jesus would rather you live so he could love you even if you didn't believe in him than if you didn't seek help at all. TWLOHA reach out to anybody, christian or non christian, everybody matters :)

  • @ionlycomment126 I guess you're right in that aspect. thankyou so much.<3

  • @XxKrYsEpAsKiEtxX That's OK :)

  • @XxKrYsEpAsKiEtxX

    I don't think TWLOHA is focused on that. They accept and want to help everyone. I'm not religious, either, but I support TWLOHA 100%.

  • @clarissayaw i needed to hear that, thanks so much

  • Shit. She's beautiful.

  • Renee is a beautiful wounderful person i have TWLOHA braclets wallpaper 4 my phone and a shirt

  • I've been watching this video over and over like a lot of us have, and the words never loose the meaning behind them. They carry the same weight every time I watch.

  • I love her videos.

  • I'm at 19 days :) this video helps me. as does the group on facebook

  • She is so beautiful, and everything she says makes me grateful. Grateful for everyone who's helped me in life. It's people like her who will help us. It's people like her who will get us through it all.

  • She's beautiful

  • i was watching this while my mother was screaming at me in the background, blaming me and threatening me for my brother walking out on her.. i dedicate the light that this video brings to not losing it, and not snappng, but removing myself from a harmful situation/environment when i calm down.

    i say repeatedly day after day, that i will not stay, i will not stay, i will not stay, but time makes me forgive and forget. i hope seeing this tomorrow, i will remember that i have to keep myself safe

  • @xXDISCOHONEYXx congratulation I celebrated a year June 15th after 7 long years of meth addiction. Believe in your dreams and youll never relapse

  • <3

  • the SONG is called " You Appearing" by M83

    

  • it took 3 years of addiction but.....im half a year clean this week, iv never been so proud of myself :)

  • I love her! She's so inspirational and beautiful... I love her laugh as well..(:

  • does anyone know the song being played in the background?

  • How could there be any dislikes?

  • you are one of the most beautiful person that i ahve ever seen! renee <3

  • Renee, You are truly beautiful.

  • He eyes are so pretty . I love you Renee.

  • Renee; you are absolutely amazing. You're voice alone gives me the strength to make it through the day. You understand, you get it, you fight it. Amazing. <3 I cried.

  • I'm young , Most people think I did self harm for attention , or because of my age .

    Age doesn't mean much to me , I don't automatically think that because your a certain age it makes you smart , or an idiot .

    As she said , I'm no different from anyone else .

    I have problems , just like you .

    &Renny Yohe , I've never met you before , &I would love too .

    But you have helped me through so much ,

    You've helped me find hope ♥ '

    I would really like to know what the song in the Background is also (:

  • what is the song being played in the background?!

  • ive been cutting since i was 9yrs old. ive tryed to stop but the urges are WAY too strong.its almost imposssible for me. but the main word there is almost. i dont cut my wrist anymore but the scars are still there and forever will be to remind myself that rescue is possible <3 thank you TWLOHA and Renee

  • @nightrunner9908

    Don't give up. 3 years is amazing. I've gone 3 weeks, after struggling with it for 8 years.

  • wow tears are rollin right now. and she says the truth everyday its another step. everyday is a new start. its hard but its gonna be ok. Thank you twloha and Renee.

  • does anyone know this song.... is it by M83?!!?

  • im 5 weeks without self-injuring. 1 month and a week...Renne and twloha are saving my life. every step of the way its so hard. but i feel like i can do this with their help

    thank you so much renee for sharing your story<3

  • I feel, wrather we like it or not, shit happens for a reason. If all this stuff didn't happen to Renee TWLOHA would have never been founded.Leaving depression,'cutting', and suicide still in the dark. All of those things would be just something society pretends that never existed.

  • Love, you are amazing. <3

  • Like you dont crawl out of the womb and start walking(:

  • Renee, you are my inspiration to get away. I'm 3 years gone this Valentines Day.... I'm making it everyday. And i agree, it is the hardest thing that anyone will ever do. I believe that we're all made to do great things. Thank you, you have touched my heart.

  • twloha saved me from addiction, cutting, drugs, suicidal attempts. I'm now clean. A few urges. What really got to me is when renee says "My story isn't unique, and that's the most amazing thing."

  • Every time i'm having a hard day this is the video i watch It has gotten me through so much thank you Renee your an inspiration

  • i saw this video a WHILE after i was clean for me my two months is a while and it still makes me cry and im glad i saw this so i can recomend it to my friends who still do cut, and hurt themselves, everytime i watch this i can see the scenes when i would cut myself and the reasons i did and i sometimes laugh because i could have done it differently thank you TWLOHA so much...

  • Your one of the most beautiful people i've ever seen. inside and out. i feel like your directly talking to me. you SAVED my life.

  • youuuu haave inspired many renee(:

    i would just like to thaank you for everythinng<3

  • how do u fucking dislike this, wtf?

  • oh my gosh, her eyes <3

  • Beautiful...

  • imperfect is the new perfect:3

    i have learned that no matter what

    i will always have someone by my side

    and Renee, your a big inspiration not only to me, but to everyone

    thankyou.

  • I have fallen down so many times, and I have wanted to just give. Everyday I hear people say that tomorrow will be easier, but its not. Hearing the words that she spoke makes me want to get up and it makes me want to keep moving. I just want to say Thank you.

  • @RileyJade23

    I'm not aware of who u are, but ur right, tomorrow isn't always easie. but tomorow is always better. maybe not better as in having a good day, but better because its a new start, new day, and another day of being strong enough to stay alive. stay strong baby. I know i don't know u but seeing this comment just rly touched me, cause i totaally understand. stay strong and keep yur head held high.

  • I wish I could download this.. It encourages me every time I watch it.

  • @CoreyAspire you can use youtube converter

  • @vintagebag13 What is that? What does it do and where can I get it?

  • @CoreyAspire it converts videos into an mp3

  • Your makeup is AMAZING. thank.. thank you for your help.

  • why cant i listen!!!! i know its not good! but i DONT LISTEN AGHH!!

  • she's so wonderful. i love how she laughs at the end. you can see how happy she is now. beside, i love how often she says 'you know'. 16. times. that's kinda cute.

  • This makes me cry.Because like Im going through rough times and her story has helped me through alot.It's my first time even watching her video's and she has inspired me and im trying to stop cutting myself I've gone to counseling and talked to alot of people because my mom saw it and was worried.But my life is a living hell.Everyone had betrayed me and has basically stopped talking to me and treating me like crap.And i thought cutting would help me and my razor was my bestfriend.

  • how is a bunch of cloths or a movie going to help... dont get me wrong its a great idea but i dont understand what it can do?

  • She's so pretty... I'm glad she's gotten better : )

  • Does anyone know the exact bible verse she quoted? It really speaks to me.

  • I'll Be Writing Love On My Arms on November 12-13;<3

  • Time to get on track? I think so. Thankyou.

  • I've been trying to stop for so long now. And my boyfriend and I may end soon because of my problems. But this video has been so inspiring to me, I think I may finally be able to stop cutting for real. Thank you so much, you are my inspiration and I will fight to get my life back.

  • @betamaelstrom

    if you & your boyfriend end over your problems then he isnt worth it in the first place.

    I've learnt this through breaking up with my ex due to my problems & finding my current. My ex hated the fact I dealt with my problems & it made things difficult. He didnt really understand. My current, he deals with these problems too & understands. He is the reason I'm alive. We are both supporting each other in recovery.

    So if you break up, he isnt worth it. You'll find better :)

  • shes def an inspiration. she and everyone else in to write love on her arms keeps me to keep moving on. <3

  • @twilightgirl6271 LOVE to you!

  • love you renee. you're such an inspiration, and so is jamie.

  • she is my inspiration to keep going :D

  • What's the name of this song? :)

  • what a breath of fresh air! i think people were purposely made with a void...a void tht alot of us try to fill with so many different things and sometimes it stoops us to a deeper whole that we have to reach up inorder to touch rock bottom but Renee said it!! the void that was made on purpose was made by God himself because only he can fill it!! its a God shaped void! he was my way out!

  • You are my inpiration

  • First I love your hair and makeup. You are one of the most well spoken and influencial young women I have ever seen. Right, it does't get "easier" but we get stronger, smarter, and learn to grow beyond what we were and learn we can expect more from ourselves and achieve it!!! Please keep telling your story - I can only imagine how many people you have helped already.

  • She's sooo pretty. [= ♥

  • She's sooo pretty. [= ♥

  • Renee has opened my eyes! her story means so much, and i am so blessed that she shared it. TWLOHA has helped me and i could never thank them enough! but i can sure try! thank you all for helping me get my life back, for showing me that i am important and that my life is meaningful, because with out TWLOHA i would be in a dark place right now. but i'm not, i'm getting help, so thank you thank you thank you! you mean everything to me

  • she is stunning

  • ive been watching this video over and over again, every single day. Although its only 3 minutes long, i cannot even get bored of it, she inspires me to get better, she just do.

  • So touching... Progress not perfection... Those are the MOST beauitfull words. I'm Going to wake up and live my life in those words. Thank you. And I love rennas ribbion on her finger :)

  • Renee is gorgeous....and it IS heartbreaking....almost cried watching this because I know what it's like to fall. Hope, courage, and love are some of the best rememdies for life....she's my idol. And seeing her smile and laugh at the end made me smile just the same ^-^

  • She's beautiful. It's heartbreaking to see such pretty, good, nice people like her fall so far.

    But it gives so much hope to see her like this, videos like this showing how far she has come, and even though there is still a long way to go, there is hope. It is possible. As long as you hope and believe.

  • as soon as she smiled, a smile ripped across my face

    :) x

  • she's been through alot. she's my idol. :)

  • @XxZehiraXx We love you!

  • Renee. My hero.

  • i think i've watched this video about a hundred times. each time i have cried. it always gives me shivers. she speaks with such truth and sincerity. i look up to her so much.

  • So Inspiring ♥

  • makes me feel so understood :D

    WE LOVE YOU, RENEE!!!

  • kudos

  • shes such a strong, beautiful girl.

    very inspiring. <3

  • seriously, she's the most inspiring person i've ever heard. i mean, it's all true...every single word spoken in this interview was so full of meaning. i'm so grateful for twloha. you can truly see how God is using it to reach out and help others. it's definetly helped think differently about life.

  • what song is used in the background of this video?

  • What I want to say for renee is: it is soo amazing that shes pulling through and 20 years after she stopped shes never going to stop craving and she and all who have quit are so amazing for this.

  • I have to say that this did touch me,mainly because I did suffer depression,and I have considered grabbing something to help me,whether it was my mom's cigarrettes or maybe get some acohol and very rarely I wondered how would it feel if I did cut myself but something stopped me,something held me back.Also,I had went through something and still am that is pulling me away from that, I still have days that I feel exactly how I felt then but I really have changed.

  • iloveyourenee:/

  • she's very pretty. and she's inspired me to be happy. thank you renee. :)

  • To people who scoff at this cause:

    These countries are being helped every day by people that have the means to help them. Why can't people who don't have these means, support a smaller cause that means just as much? A simple T-shirt to show that you care doesn't cost much.

    Is the life of an american teen who is dying inside not equal to that of a starving one in a third world country? Is there no value in the life of one of the young people that this amazing group saved? YOU, answer this.

  • Comment removed

  • I am sorry,, I disagree.

    What about people in third world countrys? They worry about food and shelter? What about the kids in korean orphanages?

    I also abuse my body,, but can i stop ? YES! I think the whole TWLOHA has been nice to see, but surely people in 3rd world countrys need the help more, ie not helping drug addiction (thats self inflicted),, but to help people who have nothing.

    .

  • that was really mean and wrong..addictions are not easy and are not easily broken. people addicted to anything need help and love to get through their addiction. you can't ignore someone just because their problems seem small to you. how cruel. someone who is depressed and wants to hurt themself, does not have small problems. God bless

  • why must we only take care of one problem at a time? why must TWLOHA give up so that another cause can be treated? leave them alone. if u are called to serve 3rd world countries, go ahead! go look up free the children.

  • Did i say give up what there doing?? NO.

    However i am saying people are all equal, why choose to help someone who has addiction trouble, when some people dont even have food to eat!

    Congrats to the girl on getting over her addiction :) Ps you may be assuming im quite heartless,, but im not im being realist. Any ways God bless

  • ya but look around, there are tons of organizations helping those ppl too.

  • Im sorry to say this,, but you dont have enough knowledge to really comment on what i say.

    Have you been to 3rd world countrys and seen how things are? Until you understand other cultures, you will never know of the hardship out there!

    I am (was) an addict, and i am thankful i could overcome my addiction myself, without using Jesus to do so! Surely his powers can be used more constructively, i e helping those with nothing. Regards

  • lol well you dont have enough knowledge to accuse me of that... i actually HAVE been to third world countries on missions trips. I DO know what its like. I do things through my school helping orginizations such as world vision and free the children. i personally am more active in helping those in third world countries because thats what im called to do. i think it is just very out of line for you to insult this organization for helping ppl. every kind action is helpful and appreciated.

  • Where did i insult TWLOHA? Pls copy and paste what i said, as im very sure it does not exist!

    I think its out of line that you think i should "help junkies before someone who has nothing!)

    Love thy nieghbour YES!,, but love to someone who willingly abused there body? NO,, certainly not before i help someone more needy.

  • lol ok... do u know who Jesus' disciples were? they were messed up kids who were desperately in need of help. also, just because TWLOHA is helping these ppl doesnt mean that ppl in 3rd world countries are being ignored! i have said this far too many times! there are many orginizations helping 3rd world! why the hell cant these kids in need have one simple organization!?

  • Comment removed

  • no no no! ur making NO sense! these ppl need help too! i dont know why ur trying to shove them aside! ur being quite inconsiderate! if u feel more pulled to help ppl in 3rd world countries, great! im the same way! but if these ppl wanna help ppl with addictions then let them!

  • Comment removed

  • they are just as needy. people that willingly abuse their body have problems too and they need help. Its not something you can stop on your own. You need help for it. They just might have wrong thoughts in their head that make them do what they do and they need help correcting those thouhgts. So yes they are just as needy as the homeless people and such.

  • and mental illness is NOT a man-made problem.

    honestly i don't believe a word you say...no one who has gone through addicticion would say those things to some one else who is going through it, too. how could you. God bless

  • Bravoog,

    you try dealing with all of this.

  • I suppose since addiction and cutting are from sin, that is it is from man. However, how often does it happen that one person can conquer sin on their own. We all need Jesus. Even if you aren't Christia, you have to appreciate the help of another loving human being. Humans sound be humane.

  • I stopped on my own.... I didnt have help, I did it all by myself, so it isnt completely true...

  • some people can find the strength inside.

    some people need others to remind them that it's there.

  • yes, but not everyone is strong enough

    and i stoped on my own but i wish i had help i wish i had someone to talk to i know im not completely over it and and im going to get the help i need there are so many days where i wanna cut again

  • as much as i have wanted to stop on my own i couldnt. help from others is great especially when they can show you God. Telling someone about it has been my first step, on a long road. I am pround that you were able to stop by yourself, I know I can't.

  • you can. just believe.

  • @MsAlexithymia ever want to talk let me know. And please dont judge by my name. I know your pain

  • Comment removed

  • This is so inspirational. Also, I want to have anal sex with her.

  • Renee is amazing. (: thank youu for proving that everyone deserves a chance

  • Renee Yohe is my role model.

    Simply amazing.

    twloha-staystrong

  • Who ever says most people cut themselves for attention.. you have issues.

  • we do it because of serious problems in our lives that never change

  • dont say that you dont know.....

  • thats not true at all. you dont have a clue, obviously. most kids who cut, have one or two confidants and wont tell anyone else. some do. but most? no.

  • Uhm is this story actually real, will someone please message me about this haha..

    I have been cutting since age 11 that makes it seven years.

    i am sixteen now.

    It would be nice to know if this is real or not.

    thank you..

  • its not real Renee was fortunate she had family friends and significant others all trying to help her, she shot them all down and moved out. Then Jamie comes along and says that he can help her and put "despair" on youtube. Thats the only time she wanted help when she could make herself known. That is 100% factual despite what any of these TWLOHA groupies tell you i grew up with her and have known her for 10 years so no one else can tell me if im wrong or right its not a question of that.

  • Jamie actaully got her into rehab. She didnt do this just to get famous. It is real, its 100% real. I mean, if her story didnt get out then honestly think about all the people out there still hiding their problem, and probably driving theirselves insane. This is a perfact movement used to help people out.

    and find hope, healing, trust, and love.

  • And what do you have Empirically to prove that? The difference between me and you is simple. I grew up with Renee so i know her personality and true colors. You are a fan. Renee does not care about you, she does not care about the person commenting below us. She is a self loathing hypocrite, who i and a small group of friends tried to help way before she even knew Jamie, she refused rehab and any help from her long term friends. Then jumps into jamie's arms because he could give her an audience

  • You can message me if you are seeking advice about treatment or just someone to talk to, i hope you feel better and realize life has a lot to offer no matter who you are.

  • you can't fucking count.
