The "Whats goin on.." video is real and all true. Uploaded on Aug. 10th
The second video was a stupid mistake that I will regret forever. All I was doing was trying to reply to a mean, rude users comments about "friends", by being rude back to them on Dec. 4th. I never lied or said anything was fake. It was just a reply to a comment. That's all. As soon as I watched it after I uploaded it, I thought my behavior looked terrible, and people would take it wrong and get the wrong impression of me. So I deleted it. But it was too late. Someone copied it and re-uploaded it. That's not how I act around my family and friends.
In no way did I mean to sound ungrateful or take anything away from people who sent their love and support after watching the "What's Going On" video.
I'm truly sorry if I made anyone feel that way.
Thank you for understanding.

To all my friends and supporters,
I made this video 4 months ago just before school was about to start. I was 13. It was a very emotionally dark time in my life. I made the video at 4:00am in the morning; I hadn't been sleeping at night for a long time, too many things going on in my head. I was dreading going back to school and I had not come out to my family yet. Only my closest friends knew. I didn't know how to say what I needed to say. All I could think about were all the bad things that had been happening at school last year, every year for that matter. I just couldn't bare to go through that anymore. I was done being fake happy, pretending hateful words didn't hurt, done hiding it from my family.
So this video was made for my friends that had moved on to High School who were worried for me, to say to them that I was going to take a stand, and to the haters at my middle school that I'm not going anywhere. I am who I am. I posted the video here and told people were to find it. That was it.
My friends were moved by the video and thought I did something important. I was encouraged to link it to my Facebook page so more people could see it. Maybe it could help someone else going through the same thing. So I linked it Dec. 1st. My Parents saw it for the first time Dec, 2nd.
Then..... all this happened.
I never expected in a million years that it would have such a wonderful impact on so many people. I am truly humbled and truly thankful for all the love, encouragement and support from people all over the world. It's been incredibly overwhelming. I don't know what to say. Thank you so, so much!
Lastly, yes you have seen me happy in a couple short videos replies I posted; I would think that would be a good thing, and yes I do have friends, my High School friends. And I have made friends because when I came out they realized that they had hurt me and that they felt sorry.
The video is real, and true. In the last few months everything eventually came out in the open, I felt a huge weight off my shoulders; I'm happy, I'm accepted for who I am, I'm more confident and feel stronger every day.
Thank you all, Love and peace to all who are hurting.
