Proudly Purple (Spirit Day 2010)

My friend Nikki made a much better Spirit Day video, which lists some jarring facts and describes what Spirit Day is:

wenever i have been closer to suicide i have considered using suicide resorces or counceling would be taking resorces away from more diserving cases(wasting the time/resorces of others involved if you will) not to mention worring those around me, and the naging thoght that i am just blowing things out of preportion in my head. i have the same sort of isues wen i am unsurtain about medical problems(not wanting to wast medical personels time/effort for something that was posibly nothing).

[AdamTheAlien]

@NeilSonOfNorbert Everyone is a deserving case, including you. It's very easy, and very dangerous, to think that your pain isn't as bad as others, that there are people suffering more than you. But when you are suffering, you need help. Everybody needs help, at least sometimes. Please never think that you aren't deserving of the resources and help available. Use them. Avoiding help when you need it doesn't help anyone, because everyone else is saying the same thing to themselves.

You're hat is made out of Fur Felt... I can tell... Who made it?

[AdamTheAlien]

@SarahNeedsJob I don' t know. It's a second-hand hat that I got for free as a prize in a chalk drawing contest. As was the purple coat.

what an amazingly beautiful video, adam.

i am literally in awe.

[AdamTheAlien]

@octollama Thank you. :)

[AdamTheAlien]

@zottepark I still see that as bullying, after a fashion. We're our own worst bullies...which is why we REALLY don't need anyone else doing it for us.

[Tzedaqyal]

Thanks Adam for the uplifting words. hope to see more vids this coming Spirit Day/Go Purple. It is important to stand up even if no one else do. Keep on your good work.

I must point out, from my experiences you don't seem that different then a average guy, but everyone will have problems I suppose. Thanks for the video. VERY inspirational. Normally some of these videos dealing with this subject are too blurry or swerve way off course or keep a narrow path neglecting others in similar situations, but this was made to include everyone. I wish I found this video MUCH much sooner then now.

why diont you hang yourself

[aGaArAaDiCt]

You've saved so many lives just by making this video. Thank you soooo much.

@MrKittensandPuppies And that makes it better how?

[MrKittensandPuppies]

Rest assured that I disliked this video because you are such a tool, not because of gay rights.

[MrKittensandPuppies]

It makes me sad that you are fighting for this cause. You're making homophobes hate gay people more because you're such an asshole.
