omg this video has like changed my life, im just sat here crying my eyes out :'(
I loved the posted in her room "ARE YOU WOMAN ENOUGH FOR THE SOCCER TEAM?" or something similar. Ha.
Did she die from cutting? The last bit was super confusing cos it kept cutting to different moments (no pun intended). This reminds me of that Cyberbully film a bit, if anyone else has seen it?
Also reminds me of Noughts and Crosses, but using sexuality instead of race. Things like this really make me wonder about what it would be like if everyone was different..
yeah, i was wondering if she died too?Quote:

yes! i was crying towards the end myself :(Quote:

I don't think it was actually meant to make you sad. Because we didn't actually see her die, I think the video's purpose was to make you think think think. If the purpose had been to make you sad, they would have focused on her actually dying because we watched her "suffer" rather than die. Hard to explain.
oh yeah, I get that's the main point haha, it does make you think, like how it is the other way round, but just how it kind of tugged on the heartstrings that she ended up doing that yanoQuote:

I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying I think it's a little unlikely that you're going to be trying to find yourself a relationship at 12.Quote:

I agree that it's effective, I'm just saying I think they're using her age to make us sympathetic rather than to make the clip realistic. Not saying it's bad to decide your sexuality at 12, just think it's unlikely.Quote:

Nothing in the whole video aimed towards her actual age... only young teenager because of schooling. :)Quote:

Anyways yeaa!Quote:

I watched this the other day, I feel like things like this should be shown in schools ect.
It appears to be going viral over several social networks, it's a good video, it reminds me a bit of this:

interesting twist on the "homophobia" videos.
I liked it, quite powerful!
