I'm not wishing harm to him, i do believe that falsely representing something so strongly then following it up in a way that is mocking his own message, is going to get messy for him.

The subject of bullying should be in people's minds and solutions, i just don't care for this person's actions right now. Maybe it would be better to chalk it up to immaturity and move on from here.

In terms of my own stance, I have stood up for people in need my whole life and have no intentions of stopping.

lotsa gay kids out there. I'm sure most are really mixed up inside.
However the reality nobody likes to talk about is: most people enjoy the sensation of self-pity
I do, a good cry is good for you every once in a while, just don't air out your dirty laundry in a public forum. It's really unbecoming.

Well if its true what he said and the first time he cut him self was in grade two, then this goes far beyond the fact he was bullied. Obviously if a 7 year old is cutting him self, there is some major childhood abuse. Turning out to be gay, could be a huge part of whatever happened to him, but a 7 year old is not cutting himself for being bullied at school alone.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not accusing this kid of faking the whole first video in some twisted attempt at fame.

I do worry about a kid who in the second video almost treats his cut scars as a badge of honor.

I remember one line from a friend of mind who was bullied in Junior High School, he got his a$$ kicked on a steady basis, and he told me once that all he needed to do to solve his bully problem was to have "one very good day".

After that "good day" the bully never even looked at him again.

As a young kid, who obviously has cut him self, has problems. Kids just dont cut them selves, they also don't just "get better" in four months. He obviously seems a lot happier, but it is easy to hide depression for periods of time, come across happy, hell even be happy, but the depression still looms and can easily be triggered again...

Do you honestly think he made the first video, hoping it would go viral? Hell ive dealt with lots of stuff in my life, and it was hard enough to reach out to friends and family and tell them what was going on. To do it on video and post it online, hell no!

Its sad to see such a young kid in that state of depression in the first video though, and hopefully he gets the help needed, and can truly stay as happy (and as some of you say, conceded) as he is in the second video, then that's awesome in my books.

Something just doesn't add up though. If you look at his youtube channel, the guy is constantly surrounded by different friends and people, long before this video was shot. And he showed no signs of depression. In fact he seems like a super happy kid, at terms with his sexuality, and tons of friends and family around him.

I actually do think he made the first video to go viral. He has posts on his twitter about becoming the next Rebecca Black, the anti-bullying message is the last thing he is discussing.

I am not saying for one second that the anti-bullying message is wrong. But I think this is another case of people jumping on a video that gets spammed to them, and going all emo, without doing a little research first. I make it a habit now, if anything is sent to me, I search the subject matter with the words fake or hoax in he search bar.

The sad part is, if he did make it up, and wanted the sympathy and attention of the world, by passing the actual bullying part, it has blown up in his face. He is now the biggest bullying target on the face of the earth, and there is virtually zero sympathy from anyone now.

Hmmm.... Well when you say that, that I am unsure what to think... lol

If he did make it up, lame move...

If not I hope he gets the help he needs.
