Jordan Burnham appeared to have the ideal life until he attempted to end it all by jumping out of a window. He amazingly survived and as Jeff Glor reports, his outlook on life took a complete turn.

  • You guys dont understand if you dont have it.. depression is not something that our body or mind can control, its an impulsive state that takes over your body, some people even black out from being depressed. dont assume they are babies or selfish. its something they cant even help or control.

  • Everyone handels life differently, everyone has a different mind and different thoughts. Not everyone can withstand the temporary issues. We born we live then we die. They chose to take their lifes sooner than they should if you're not going to respect others don't watch or comment on these videos.

  • @itZjstPotna Yes! This kid and other kids who commit suicide annoy the shit out of me! They're selfish cry babies who think their life is so bad! 

  • @itZjstPotna Couldnt agree more

  • I'm tired of this shit, sit your ass down, everybody in the world have fucking problems your life cant be that fuckign bad if your healthy, in school got a family and money ect .there are kids in other countrys who wish they had your life instead of being raped beat, running from gangs or being in gangs, out of food, sleep in the slums have no family or friends to ebging with, have to live a life of slavery or being sold at a young age for prostitution ect

  • @superninjasarah712 Are you ok now?

  • my friend just took his own life because he thought he wasnt loved, but the whole school is saddened by his death. i miss him alot

  • I was bullied for 2 years, cyber bullied for 1 1/2 years, and when I thought it was over, I realized it was still going on behind my back.

    But the main reason I'm depressed is because my mom verbally abuses me. I feel like she hates me. I have attempted suicide 2 times, almost slit my neck open, have selfed harmed a few times, and the idea of suicide has become more and more of a possibility as I get older. I want to live my life, but I don't know if I can take the terribleness of it anymore.

  • Suicide FAIL. But thank god that he survived.

  • High schools and colleges? I just finished the seventh grade and almost did this multiple times. Heck, I even had it on my mind on occasion in elementary school. Depression is everywhere. Everywhere. And we feel even more neglected than you do.
