Justin Foley Jensen - [The Story]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Justin Foley was the beginning of the end, according to Hannah. Little did we know Hannah was the beginning of Justin’s end. That damn smile … None of us will ever forget it.
I began this video as soon as I finished the show. Justin has always been my favorite character. I’ll always remember watching the third episode and realizing how much I was interested in his story … and what a story it was ! I put everything I had into this video and worked many, many, hours, but it’s far from perfect, I know.
His life has never been easy or simple. It was messy and a series of struggle and that’s what he was as well ; messy and struggling. His journey was a pleasure to follow and like he said « People do get better » and he sure did. It’s so damn impressive how much he evolved and changed. He was given a second chance the day Clay and Tony went out to find him and he did his best with this opportunity. I was so proud of him in season 4.
Sadly, again, he was presented with new struggles and this time it was too much, there was nothing he could do about it. He knew he wouldn’t get a third chance. I’m pretty sure he knew he was dying before it was clear for everyone. How can you be that sick without knowing ? But like I tried to show in this video, I think he didn’t think he deserved to be saved, again. When his mom died, he realized no one ever gave her a chance unlike him and he didn’t feel like he deserved it.
Like Clay, his parents and Jess, I would have done anything to help and save him, but unfortunately you can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved. I would have loved if 4x10 was cut in more episodes. We deserved 13 episodes and Justin’s death deserved, at least, 2 episodes. I really liked that they took the time to show him in the hospital, with his loved ones, but I think the grieving part was way too rushed. Clay grieved Hannah for 2 seasons and we only get to see half an episode for Justin and most of it wasn’t even about that.
Justin Foley will be remembered by all of us and his death broke me like if it was an actual loved one that passed away. I’m still not okay, but everyday it hurts a little less and a little less.
I ended the video with a few words from Brandon because you can tell Justin meant as much to him as it did us and Brandon means as much to us as Justin does. He did an incredible performance all throughout the show, especially in the last few episodes. Brandon gave his heart to this character and I’ll forever be grateful to him for that.
I think I’ve said it all. The music I’ve used is listed down bellow.

![Justin Foley 💙 "are you afraid?" [season 4]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4lRGvlJOf_k/mqdefault.jpg)
I sympathised with him in s1, I fell for him in s2, I felt happy for him in s3, and he broke my heart in s4. 😞
🥺
Omg yes
Same
I thought he was a dick in season 1 not sympathize
@@peterwilkins507 True, he was a bit of a dick in season one, not gonna lie but by season 2 he's not that kind of person any more
Justin's death had to be the most emotional scene in the whole show and I'm not joking.
My eyes were filled with tears and that's the first time of such.
I had always had a soft spot for justin, his whole life was a big mess.
And Lorn Huron's "The night we met" had a lot of influence on the atmosphere when justin died.
I felt Justin was always caught in the web of events all through the show, now he didn't get a second chance when he needed it.
I write books and I’ll try to explain it a bit better to you to soften the blow. Justin’s death, although tragic, was going to happen. Justin has been through so much in the last few years of his life which had potentially wore away his love for himself. You’ll see in plenty of scenes that people who loved him tried to reach out to him but he didn’t accept it. He didn’t think he deserved it. You’ll see in plenty of other scenes, after he got out of rehab, that he was starting to believe he deserved to get better. Sadly, everyone else, all the people who cared about him, were going through shit of their own, so he didn’t get the praise and support he needed to hold onto that piece of self-worth he had gained from rehab. He *was* getting better, but everyone around him was getting worse, and they weren’t in the right headspace to recognize his happiness. Slowly, he lost his self worth again, and didn’t think he deserved anything. He didn’t think he deserved Jessica, he didn’t think he deserved a family, he didn’t think he deserved to go to college. So when he started to get sick, he decided to not get it checked out, he thought, “if anything, I deserve to suffer”. Which is so wrong, because he deserved to be happy almost more than anyone else. He was feeling everything he needed to have a bright future, and to be happy, but it was the wrong time. To fully get better you need love and validation from others and from yourself. Sure, he did get it, but not enough to feel he deserved it. And when you think about it, maybe he never would’ve believed he deserved love, no matter what time of his life it was. The sad part (and the message they really wanted to get across) was that right before he fell and was rushed into ICU, he had finally listened to Clay. Clay told Justin that he deserved to go to the dance, and for once, he listened. Sadly, it was too late for him to start listening. And the disease had advanced too far, in the past few months, for him to survive. But atleast he died with some self worth. The message is that speak up about things, even if you think you don’t deserve it, because by the time you *do*, it might be too late.
In the whole of Netflix lol not just 13 rw😔 I’m still so upset
Yea justin was one of my favorites along with Tony and Clay
I literally never cried so much when he went in season 2 I was shocked was happy when he came back bu so devastated when he went
it was really the only scene that actually made me cry. he had so much life to live.
THE BEST CHARACTER ON THE SHOW PERIOD😩
9999999999999% Agreeed
I think they are all like.... Really good in their own way tbh! But oh my God his final scene was just... The best.
2nd best
Alex 1st Justin 2nd 3rd Tyler 4th Charlie/Jessica 5th tony 6th zach 7th Caleb 8th clay
Him and Alex
This was the worst death of the show. He improved his life so much 💔 he deserved to go to college and be happy with Jessica and the Jensens.
He also saved many people's lives.
Yeah seriously, so many what if’s here, he was on the perfect track for a long great life, but just that damn one time snuck up and took him out. If only as soon as getting with the Jensens, i wouldve hoped that they would take him to the Doctors for Physical and Blood tests, then there would be a good chance he would still be around way much longer than this.
I completely agree yes Hanna's Jeff's and Monty's was tragic and sad and Bryce got what he deserved but Justin's was just devestating especially after turning his life around for the better he had a heart of gold all he wanted was for someone to love him and care about him his mum neglected him and his dad abused him he would probably of been better in care he had so much to live for he deserved so much and he didn't have any role models to look up to no one ever taught him anything he went from your typical teenage 14/15 year old boy to a scared 18 year old boy I cried my eyes out for days after he died and now watching the show for the 7 time I cry at every Justin scene just because of how sad his life is
Gutted I loved Justin's character devastated
"That smile..." oh my god
little noone that damn smile
time?
I never realized how much people said directly to his face that he’s just a worthless junkie and that no one cares about him or believes in him and should die like, no single human can handle that much pain and rejection
Ikr he went through so much bullying and after turning his life around still no one really cared about him yes clay cared about him but he was still tough on him all Justin wanted was to be loved and cared about he deserved to get some happiness and live a long happy life
since season 1 Justin was my favorite, he went from being homeless, to a drug addict, to being adopted by a loving family, to staying on drugs, to asking for help, to getting the help he needs, then relapsing, and getting help again. He had a loving girlfriend that he went through so much with. He had loving adoptive parents, who treated Justin like he was their own son, and a loving brother who even though he didn’t act like it loved Justin more than anything. Justin deserved better. I cried for days after his death 😭😭
Same dude I still crying whenever I remember him
Exactly he went from being sexually assaulted and raped at 5 years old to your typical teenage 14/15 year old boy to your 16 year old who became homless and addicted to drugs no wonder he thought that was the answer he grew up with a bunch of drug addicts and abuse and trauma then to your 17 year old grieving after his first friend aktho he hated him for what he did he was still his first friend and first person who cared about him to a scared drug addicted selfless 18 year old yes Monty was abused by his dad to but Justin went through far worse and turned out for the better justin his the perfect role model I felt so bad for him he was adopted and that was the best thing that could have happened to him but I couldn't help but feel he never felt like he fitted in I just wished I could give him a hug
his name is justin foley. and in our hearts he‘s still a survivor.
Someone had pointed out that it all started with him, and ended with him. The first scene of this show started with him and Clay, and i’m sure by the end of the show we all were attached to their brotherhood. It was them always! My favorite characters since the first season, to the last season.
Justin Foley made me understand and love more the people with drug problems .He started the conversation about drug addiction in my head His character gave me for food fot thought .From now on ,I am a better ,more understanding person because of the series .
I comprehend what u said. I am seeing everything from new perspective now.
@@keerthanaap4824 Exactly :new perspective!!!!
Justin was absolutely my favorite character in the show, he made mistakes but he was always the first to try and fix them and be there for the people that he cared about. This edit was absolutely beautiful my favorite part being the last about 4 minutes especially with the funeral and all there thoughts about him. And I loved that you added the clip from Brandon Flynn and the very end. So beautiful!
i’m really out here crying over a FICTIONAL character
I think sometimes we all get too emotionally invested over things that are real because we care or maybe we are projecting our emotions onto fictional characters
Justin Foley wasnt fictional to us.
@@graceanna318 He's fictional, but the reason why we are emotional about it. Is because it's based off real life events: Homelessness, drugs, substance abuse, sex work, and AIDS.
We all do , welcome to crazy side
its the way they all hated him, gave up on him and pushed him away , only to come back when he has given up on himself and given up on life and it was too late ...
justin‘s death made me cry more than i ever have. i love him endlessly. he was more than just a fictional character to me 🖤🙏🏻
I don't understand why Brandon's work is not recognized as it should be. I mean, I've seen lots of actors who win or are nominated for Emmys, Golden Globes or Oscars and don't deliver 10 % of the performances that he gives on those scenes.
It literally felt like i lost someone i loved and knew. 😢😢😢
Brandon Flynn is a phenomenal actor. For this to be his first role out of acting school truly blows me away. He’s got such range, is able to deliver a deeply emotional performance, he’s able to make the audience feel his pain. He’s truly gifted and I want to see everything he’s ever in!
I love how Jessica was there for him all the time since day 1. When he broke up with her, she never wanted to let go, when he passed out at the dance we all were sad and devastated.💔💔 Justin, Foley, Jensen you will never ever be forgotten 💔🥺
Justin was really hurting and he was still there for everyone else
I couldn't find words to praise this masterpiece :) Bang on..
ALL JUSTIN WANTED WAS TO BE ALIVE AND HE COULDNT EVEN GET THAT OMG
RIGHT
Love all the themes you had in this. With the music change during each theme too, friendship with bryce, betrayal, jessica, drugs. etc. Amazing
"That smile that damned smile"
Justins entire story to me is the most profound of the entire ensemble, and it’s so emotional and moving and heartbreaking.
Furthermore, for this to be his first role out of acting school - he is PURE TALENT. And he’s got range. I adore him, Brandon Flynn, but I also adore Justin. I sobbed for days, and I’m 36 years old!!!!!
I can't even watch Justin's death scene without breaking into tears, and this is coming from a dude.
I have never cried at something so much. Justin deserved better. His past caught up with him. His character development throughout the series was incredibly well written. RIP Justin Foley
Justin didn't deserve to die. But to be honest it is what makes the series so awesome that we still will talk and watch videos about 13 reasons why and talk about justin. I honestly cried watching this video Cause it was so awesome to see back justin's life from the beginning of the series till the end. And that feeling to see his life all over again I can't describe. Great editing ❤️
This was so creative and well done, a masterpiece of parallels and splitting up his story into relevant sections. I have so many feelings and enjoyed the entire 31 minutes immensely. Thank you for reminding me the "whatever is a piece of shit word" originally came from his coach because I know he says it to Clay at the party in season 4 so that's another parallel in my head. I've seen so so many videos but it still feels like i never fully get reminded of every little moment and it was nice to see some of these moments I'd forgotten about. I'm hoping to make a Bryce & Justin angst filled tribute and your vidding will really help me not forget important scenes related to their stuff... Etc etc. Just thank you for all of what this video ultimately is. I can see how extremely hard you worked on it. Justin was my favorite character and i related to him in a fair number of ways but also felt drawn to him in ways where I just wished he could be saved. It's so sad how his story ended.
The music at the start gives me goosebumps. Justin deserved better.
R.I.P Justin Foley.
Honestly, growing up I had a similar life to Justin's. My birth mom was a junkie and her hookups/boyfriends were straight-up bad people who've abused me before. When the show first came out, I lived with my dad and his wife to have a better life. I sympathized with Justin because I knew exactly how he felt at home and in season 2 when he was living on the streets I knew what that was like too. I slept in a park once to avoid going back to my birth mom's apartment. I related to Justin in so many ways and was happy when Clay's family brought him in. Now knowing after watching season 4, he's gone, I'm heartbroken. It was like watching a part of myself die with him because I've never related so much to a character in my life.
I have a better life now and so did he but he deserved to go on and live his life just as I do now.
Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. I'm sorry you had to go though this. Look at it that way; a part of Justin keeps living through you. You're damn right, you deserve your better life and I'm glad you know it.
So I've been avoiding this video as much as I could, because I didn't think I was ready to watch it, but now I found the courage to do so. Needless to say that I couldn't stop crying. I cried and I also smiled a lot, because Justin's life was a mess, but a beautiful one. He was special and his heart was pure. A character I'll always cherish, beacause it made me experience so many emotions: from the anger I felt for the mistakes he made and for thinking that he didn't deserve good things and love; the pride to see him fighting for the ones he loved and always protecting Jess after everything they've been through; the happiness of seeing him with a family that he so much deserved, but mostly: the hope that I felt seeing that even a broken soul like him could have a chance. Justin was🖤 Words are too poor.
Thank you so much for this piece of art, all your work is so worth it🙏🏼
What you wrote in the description is beautiful, it truly does hurt like I’m mourning the loss of a loved one in real life, it’s crazy how connected we can get to a character, and I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels that way but still, I’m sorry it’s hurting you too
Hannah and Jeff’s death hit hard. But justin’s was another level
Hannah’s didn’t really, she had a choice, Jeff and Justin didn’t really want to die
Omg this is amazing!! He deserved so much better🥺 I love how much clay, Jessica, Zach & coach kerba helped him out. It’s so sad that he died after everything he went through😭
Dame, his smile that dame smile. I never thought that smile would never get him to where he is now 😭😢
The only thing that I am going to say is that he deserve so much better 💔he should be happy and healthy and....😖😭
😖😭💔
.... alive
@@wiamyt4442 yes😖💔
This must have been a lot of work. But it turned out really wonderful and it is a very good tribute to Justin.
when bittersweet symphony started playing, sobbing.
I’m literally bawling over this 😭😭 This really gives such a good overview of his life🥺
Ahh, a beautiful edit once again!! 💕 Justin has been my favourite character since the first season with the reasons you’ve said and it was so nice to see him grow and finally get a family he deserves. Such a tragic ending but at least we got to see his redemption and the people he loved were right there beside him. Nobody could have played the part better than Brandon Flynn!! 👏
Mmhmmm👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😭
Justin deserved so so so so so much better. He was going through so much. His death absolutely destroyed my heart. His character development was absolutely amazing. I loved Justin. I did not see this coming. 😔🥺
I'm crying.
I love the fact that you added Jensen to his name ......he deserved a happy family.
Wow 🥺...the caption, the scenes, the feels, the music and everything was just AMAZING! 💛
The show starts and ends with Justin ❤
And I'm happy that you put Mr & Mrs Jensen they did so much in their position and they love Justin so much also they are very good not just parents but persons ❤🫶
i’ve been waiting for a video like this for SO long thank u thank u thank youuuuu !!!
Justin had the best character arc 👍🏼 definitely my favorite character off the show..
Justin is the strongest character of the show. He had to deal with so much shit and always tried to protect jess and Clay and his friends. Even he prodected his Mother although sehe kicked him out 😭
Cried so hard when they killed off justin it was so uncalled for.
Me too😭😭😭
I cried so much when Justin died he was an amazing actor
I have watched shows like Suits and Mentalist to Modern Family, HIMYM, B99 and TBBT... 13 Reasons Why was the latest series that I watched and the last episode made me cry so bad... And this is coming from a person who hasn't cried in a year or so. I don't usually feel emotional at shows or movies but this was the first time I legit cried out loud. Justin Foley is the heart and soul of this show ❤️
I swear, from the first season, first episode, first SCENE of him, I loved him. And I said: oh gosh,he seems cute. Now he’s my favourite character.
I started loving him so much in the S2, in the S3 he was like a brother to me. And then what they have to do? KILL HIM. why?! There were so many characters why have you chosen him? WHY?
And when I saw him fall, I was like : oh shit what’s going on. Then, I started crying.
Justin has the best character development, he has the changed the most out of every character in my opinion
Well said and put together. I held back tears up until the last 10 minutes of the video. I hate that they had to kill the best character of the show. I kinda thought alex would be it cause his anger issue he has.
If this guy makes you cry every time although you know how it ends then he's a perfect actor, it's a really messed up life, it's a realistic show and it's a fucking undeserved end. I love your lame ass Justin Foley.
Not gonna lie I couldn't even get through the first part of the video without crying
His death scene gets me every time, without fail.
Justin was my fav. He has been so much already, why could they give him a happy ending. He deserves happiness.
Well, i’ve cried on too many edits, but this one..I literally cannot stop! He was the best character and the one who deserved the most! His story was always too sad but it got sadder by the last season! I’ve been watching since the day it came out, and i cried a lot but nothing compared to the final episode! He deserved better and in my opinion they did him so wrong! Justin foley with his goddamn smile😩💔
Football coaches are always so nice and caring in there own way
What an amazing tribute!! I hate that season 3 ended that they deserve better than just surviving, they deserve some fucking happiness too, kinda like that Clarke/Lexa quote from The 100 where life should be about more than just surviving. Indeed I feel thriving isn't too much to wish for, aim for, want and ultimately expect to have. But this show decided to end season 4 going back to a weird message of even just surviving isn't always achievable no matter how hard you try, except it kinda would've been achievable in this case except Justin internalized too much self-hate to care for himself enough to get treatment soon enough was the idea, and then the final message for Clay is that he might not be happy for a while but he'll survive and that ending moment of season 3 is just. Despite what they deserve they're not going to get it and it really sucks. They did in a very amatonormative way have Clay and Jessica both have hints of a future in a few months dating and maybe finding happiness again that way but like. It's hard for me to even decide how I feel about all this. The biggest thing is if what happened to Justin is even possible, or if it's impossible for HIV which usually took like 8 years to progress to AIDS really could've killed him while he's still in high school. Also they should not have blamed his HIV on his sex work when drugs alone would've been plenty of reason he could've gotten infected, or maybe they could've blamed it on being abused when he was 5 but idk just the writing is so frustrating. If they wanted to write a story about the tragedy of not thinking you're worth being saved they could've at least fact checked what's realistic and possible and picked a different illness like cancer where if you ignore the symptoms too long you're still dead. Idk.
Sorry I'm rambling...I'll leave an actual comment about this brilliant half hour video now!!
Justin DESERVED BETTER, HE DESERVED TO BE HAPPY WITH JESSICA AND THE JENSENS, THIS BREAKS MY HEART💔🥺
So beautiful! Such a great highlight! I love this show and this character because it truly makes you think about everyone’s experience and why they have made decisions that they did. I know this has reminded me to broaden my perspective and think more, judge less and show the support that’s necessary. We are worthy of joy even if we have to go through “shit” to get there. Brandon is an incredible actor and I hope we see him a lot more places in the future!!
He is the ONLY one that I TRULY loved from day 1. I cried for him. Truth is, I have known someone like him...and perhaps it is why he held my ❤️😔
Justin Foley-Jensen
You're absolutely right. I should change this 😉
@@mlle_flo thanks I just said that, cuz he was adopted at the end
He was but sadly they never confirmed it in season 4. One of the many scenes I wish they would have added...
@@mlle_flo ya I know but it was the best thing he could have happened
If you follow him in IG.. He was actually dealing drug abuse and serving clean time during season 4. That makes him an incredible actor.. Justin Foley is love ❤
Best character development. Let's kill him off. Great idea.
literally 😭
the like to dislike ratio sums up how amazing this 30 minute video is
nope, nope, no. Not okay. I am crying, I am sobbing. Justin Foley deserved the entire world!!
The fact that Justin was there for clay throughout season 2,3,4 and it's sad that he had to suffer like that throughout the series :(
That damn smile... 💔🫶😭
When I look back on the show I felt like it was more of Justin's story than anyone else's.
Netflix released a video on their platform titled 'Justin Foley's story' lol :D
He was the most surprising thing for me in 13rw. He had the deepest character and character development.
He would be my forever favourite❣
Btw, great video 💥👏
Justin was one of my fav character ever. Yes he started out a jerk but I always saw more to him and in S2 he changed so much and I loved his relationship with Clay so much. Their love for each other was amazing and Who would have known that Justin would be Clays most trusted and loyal friend, Justin struggled and suffered so much and tried so hard to change and improve his life and his death was so devastating and heartbreaking. I am still not over have unfair it was Justin never got a happy ending💔
Absolutely incredible video.
Great editing 💯
RIP Justin Foley
This is amazing! I love it and You did an incredible job showing his story! ❤️ I especially love the montage at the end with everyone at the funeral and the memory with it!
i’m crying so hard right now. this is beyond beautiful
It's crazy how having a slightly different haircut made him look way more like a protagonist. Obviously it was his actions but i think the haircut change really helped
Thank you so much for this video. It shows everything and was exactly what I needed right now after I finished the last episode. Such a good video!
One of the edit I seen till now, man huge respect.
Literal angel 😭✨
I can't stop crying after watching the show, i know I was a bit late to watch it but I am glad that I did. I want to know more about Justin, I can relate to him. I am a survivor.
Taught us transformation
I don’t think he should have died because he had Clay and Jessica to help him and other people I wanna sue the director and make him change that Justin died so he can be alive with Jessica and Clay.
yeah me too.. but they needed a end of the show. They shouldnt have ended it like this but. I agree. He deserved so much better. The fact we didnt know anything that happened to Justin in season 1 or 2 or 3 breaks my heart.
I think it was perfect as much as I love Justin. No one elses death would have had the same impact as Justin’s and made you feel the same emotion. Also all the tapes started with Justin so it does make sense that it ended with the death of Justin
Sophie Suarez You can’t sue someone just because you wanted him alive that makes no sense
Not to jump the gun too much, but I think Justin was one of my favourite TV characters ever... certainly in the last few years.
Same.
That’s what I was thinking
This is amazing great job. He was one of my favourite characters
“You know, Justin was.. Justin was.” 😔
justin had the best character development i've ever seen, it was really upsetting to see him die like that.
This is one of the best compilations of Justin story!! The best compilation for the best character!
It's so sad that nobody noticed that he had lesions that took forever to heal from season 2 on. He was showing signs that he was sick almost the entire time. It broke my heart. I love Justin ❤️
I Will love you forever justin.. I miss you 💕😭💔
I was hating him at first but now I love him more than all of them and I Feel like I know him he is on my mind all the time and I was crying for days, it was hard he deserves better not death 💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm a fan from Thailand. Brandon is awesome actor. I love Brandon I love character, Justin.
I held it together until Sleeping At Last came on that is the perfect song for Justin.
My life couldn’t be anymore similar to this character
This is a FANTASTIC edit of Justin Foley. His story. I love it. I love justin and his story. Never forget JF🖤
I was waiting for an edit like this, thank you so much!!!
Jess: "Your shit is my shit."
Justin: "Yeah, we share shit."
The weirdest lines in the show... In this video they sounded even funnier with Kelly Clarkson's music in the background. I'm guessing the actors couldn't say these lines without laughing like a 100000000 times... Hehehehehe
najlepszy serial i aktorzy
This is so heart breaking..... all Justin wanted to do was live.....
What if this was a dream and Justin really didn't die? You know Clay been tripping all of Season 4. Clay get it together so that we see more of Justin! 😢😢😢😢 #Icriedlikeabigbaby
That was an amazing job at capturing my fav character
Justins death was the saddest death in any show I have ever watched
