"i wanted to get as far away as my town as possible bc i hated everyone" relatable
hahahaha me too. but from my schools everyone sucks

"I was texting my mom like 'there'sapictureofmeasagirlonthescreen, there'sapictureofmeasagirlonthescreen' and she was like 'WHAT THE FUC'"
Pinkcreeper he was saying that as I was reading this comment haha
I was looking for this comment
Bri Cheese
I fucking died at this moment
That was me today when my teacher was taking attendance h
That dislike is probably your principal
No comments? I'm gonna fix that
boy, your mom is the best tbh
I have a friend who transitioned in the middle of the school year and all he did was tell the principle, retook his picture, and gave each of his teachers a letter saying his new name and pronouns
and thats how simple it should be. We were just dealing with a difficult school who was clueless and non trained on how to treat transgender students. I even had the Dept. of Education train their staff and they still messed up.. IDIOTS!!!
Sheila J. yes!! they should be trained on they/them pronouns and changing pronouns as well... I would go as far as saying that they should teach kids how to treat someone that comes out to them or how to be generally respectful to Trans people
That sounds awesome!! I have to go through counselling, then I'm going to get referred to a therapist THEN I can go to a gender thing. Sad times. :/
My friend gave a letter to all his teachers stating his pronouns and preferred name and the next day he got sent to the principals office and he was told what he did was disrespectful and he got suspended from school. The hell it is living in Mississippi.
Celeste Clifford I have a friend from there, MS sucks lol
where's your principal live? i just wanna talk
pumpkinblush "Talk". *cough cough*. Can I tag along and talk"
pumpkinblush with my fist
pumpkinblush I'm coming 2
*hits hand with fist*
I'm coming to
I'm coming as well!
I found your videos and this was basically my thought process:
"That's a transguy named Sam... I'm a transguy named Sam..... He's me from the future-"
Me, who has another trans friend named Sam: 👁👄👁
Me who has a trans brother named Sam: ..
me, also a trans guy named sam :o
You are incredibly brave and strong. I'm a gay man who came out as gay in high school in 1974. Leading up to that and afterwards I was verbally assaulted by both students and teachers and beaten regularly. I had always been "pretty" and androgynous looking and was a target. My heart goes out to you and what you have had to suffer.
"because I hated everyone" OMG same
That is literally me rn I came out as trans the summer of going into tenth grade and I went to the high school. Everyone called me by my birth name and this girl was like "you look like a lesbian" I was like " no I'm a guy" and this one guy shouted out "hey guys look this lesbian thinks she's a guy". Everyone started laughing and everything so I quit that school a month into the school year. I'm in 11th grade now and I'm changing schools again bc people are still bullying me even tho I'm on T and everything.
I personally just go completely undercover
I just say ‘yeah I’m a girl I was just born looking like a guy’ cause at least my voice and face (with a mask) is somewhat androgynous.
hello!!! i hope everything is going well now and also i just wanna say that in your profile pic you look AMAZING!!!!
@SteffOrSomething my brother in christ his profile picture is just the letter L
Thanks for putting yourself out there like this. I run a youth acting program and have a big youtube following. I'm making a movie for my channel about a group of girls in high school - and what happens when they discover that one of their friends used to be a boy.
Im gonna check that video out!! Sounds cool,dude!!
Robert Randall what's it called?
Im coming out this year (9th grade lmao) and I'm lowkey scared
I hope all goes well for you and everyone's supportive!
Good luck buddy, I hope everything runs smoothly :)
Hope it's going well!
I'm fourteen year old trans guy and I'm terrified of coming out, especially since there's a shit ton of transphobic people at my school.
Sarah Howell the easiest thing to do right now is to stay in the closet. your safety is the most important thing in this situation.
I just want to cuddle you idk why.
Ros Tibbs I get u
same and I’m a lesbian so
ros SAME
He is just huggy
wish my parents were this supportive and ting. but glad you found a school that respected you.
I wish I transitioned in highschool and got the whole experience as a boy. I transitioned in college. I also started college when I was 15, didn't transition until 17, but yeah. I wish I had that experience. Sorry your high school was stupid man.
I'd imagine that transitioning in college would be harder..I'm sixteen, and in my country, I doubt I'll be able to do anything with my body until I'm over eighteen. It sucks, because I'm still here, waisting what people tell me are "the most memorable years of your life" in my bedroom, because some dick somewhere decided that I'm too young to know what to do with myself. These people must think I can't even dress myself in the morning, it's bullshit.
Yeah, I don't understand why they think they can control our bodies. No one knows them better than we do, so we should have say on it. What really gets me annoyed is when someone wants a hysterectomy, but they are like hell no, we want you to have kids someday. I am a gay male, I aint having no kids. People man. Anyway, I wish you the best and that you get to transition, the way you want, soon:) Have a good one
I want to transition in high school too, but mY mOM iGnOReD tHE fAcT so yea. To her, I’m still a girl. I’m screwed
"I had no friends really, actually I had no friends." I actually relate so hard
Ugh I wish the video was an hour I love these videos
Me too 😩
ikr 😂 he's so damn cute, too bad he has a gf 😂❤ jk
+LEAFY IS MINE I couldn't get him anyway I don't live in America 😞
thank u sm:)
***** OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SAM. YOU ARE SO CUTE 😂
Everything about you now makes me so happy. You're always smiling and laughing and I'm so glad you're finally happy now, I love you Sam
Oh and TAKE THE BEANIE OFF
+Cloey Lorene it's a joke no worries he looks good in it but he always wears it haha
I love u :)
+Sam Collins I didn't see this, but I love you more
Hey Sam. I'm just really sad. I am turning 21 in a few months, but I've known I was transgender since I was 10 when I saw a trans guy on TV. I really wanted a boy name, but I wanted my mom to choose my name. I knew however that she wasn't ready to hear it so I waited. I came out when I was 16 to her and she flipped out. But still I wanted her to choose my new name, so I waited more because I thought she would come around. Well, after I graduated high school when I was 18, I realized my mom wasn't going to choose a name for me because she is transphobic. So I chose my own name. I started testosterone when I was 19. When that happened, my mom called me self absorbed for not caring about her feelings about my transition... even though I had spent 8 years waiting, hoping my mom would come around. I'm happy because I'm getting top surgery next month, but my whole situation with my mom makes me sad. My mom hates the name I chose. I love my new name, and that's all that should matter. But i can't believe I wasted so many years living as this fake person just to please everyone else, worrying about everyone else's feelings but not my own. And then I finally decide to make one selfish decision, the decision to save my own life, and I was called self absorbed for it. I don't know. Life can be really unfair. Especially if it's my life lol. Thanks for listening to my really depressing ted talk.
yo. so I recently started 9th grade and I live in a small town where there's one high school, one middle school, and two or three elementary schools so the people in my class now I've known most of them since kindergarten. not being out as trans at school is hell and killing me. I've told some of friends and family but that's all. I don't want to come out because since I've known all these people for so long I'm worried they won't or forget to use my pronouns and name and then there's the fear of being bullied and I don't know what to do. any advice?
I am in the exact same position as you. It's actually a little creepy. 1 high school, 1 middle school, 2 elemetry schools (used to be three) I've only told some of my friends and family, and I'm out at school. I've been going to this school district since kindergarten. But good luck with your, uh, trans related stuff?
BlueBell Pond same here
BlueBell Pond hey i am not to educated on your current situation although from what I've read in this comment I think the best thing to do is be your self. Yes it can be hard and I know that bc I have known everyone in my class for at least 3 years It was hard coming out, although not as trans I came out as bisexual. It is a lot less stressful than your situation but it was still scary but you do eventually get over the nerves. I do however have a trans friend who came out by writing a rap and rapping at the school assembly. Idek just be you.
So it's been a year since you posted that comment. Any updates?
BlueBell Pond I’m currently in year 10 (UK) and I didn’t want people to know and I wanted to be openly out around college so I don’t have to make changes in school. Suddenly people were asking me if it was true that I was trans. I’ve gotten a tiny bit of people saying how my boyfriend and I are a straight couple and how my name isn’t my preferred one, but my school has said until there’s a legal name change they have to put a preferred name and they said I can change somewhere else for P.E. I’m happier really that I’m out to people because otherwise I’d still be known as my birth name and she/her which I find uncomfortable. If you’re scared, ask people how they feel on the topic, and if it’s okay, tell them. Also if you don’t want to have it spread make sure you make that clear
LIT
SEEEEEETTTTTHHHHHH ILY LMAO
daddy
HI SETH
Yo bitch
is that the Seth bishop
There’s a trans kid in my PE period. He has to stay in the girl’s locker room cause he’s not legally a guy yet. I don’t mind cause...well idk I don’t really mind lol. But he looks so damn uncomfortable and my heart breaks for him.
poor thing, was he not allowed to use the nurse's office to change? Absolute bullshit. I hope he's doing better now
At least your parents accept you. I go by a different name and pronouns at school but my parents don't allow me to use them...but haha sorry. Also, you're extremely lucky that the school put your name on your ID's and the register, because at my school it has to be my legal name on literally everything.
Sam ended up in a really great, accepting, open minded, diverse high school the next town over. Very professional and good to their students, unlike the high school in our town. If you live in MA, it's a state law that your preferred name be on all documents (except the true info which should remain sealed in the front office & also the nurse's office). You can use any name you choose without even having to change it legally (for school). Even if you're not in MA, look up transgender student rights for your state. These things may apply at your school as well.. Good luck!
same
Alex Creed My parents won't let me be a boy *cries*
Alex Creed my preferred name is on the register for school underneath my real one and people I know are still getting used to it, but my parents seem like they’re not trying just for the fact that a few years ago I dated a girl as a girl, now suddenly I’m dating a guy and I am a guy
Sheila J. I havent been able to find anything on Arizona laws? I've honestly been trying to find something for years. My highschool was a complete shithole with the whole name and pronouns but my college was open about it so maybe its just depends on the school?😕
if somebody uses your wrong pronouns/name ignore them. "alexis!" "..." "alexis come here!" "..." "alexander!" "coming!"
That’s actually my dead name and my new name XD
I genuinely do not recognize my own legal name anymore. I have to pay so much attention in attendance cause it’ll be said and I’m just zoning out completely.
I’ve never met anyone named zoe besides me though so I don’t really know if hearing it will trigger anything? I also don’t have any supportive friends irl.. and I’m still in the closet cause my mom won’t let me do anything yet (she says since I’m autistic it has to be an obsession)
Thanks for sharing this Sam! and props to your mom for being so amazingly supportive, she sounds wonderful ^.^
Thank you !
It's even harder to come out as transgender when your autistic😖💔
Ah man, keep pushing through it! It will get better eventually!
Keke Campbell awe bud it's ok❤️ just be who u are. If you're comfortable coming out yet that's fine❤️
I have aspergers and yeah, it's hard...
“If someone said a girls name and I would be like **deep voice** *thats me* “ 😂😂😂
“ThAtS mE “ 😂 he’s just so genuine. We must protect him at all costs
*"and after that day, I just never went back to that school"*
my idol right here lmao
I want his entire wardrobe.
ohmygod i relate to the attendance thing so much!! my teachers would get sick (or basically just not be there for some reason) 24/7 so we'd always have substitutes. all of them were transphobic and always called the wrong name. it was horrible. once, i had a very severe anxiety attack to where i couldn't even say "here" to roll-calling and so the substitute yelled at me after someone pointed me out. school where i lived was so great.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A NEW VIDEO IM SO LIT
Same
"The principle was a piece of shit. I hate you, I hope you're watching this" XD
Damn that was bad 😐 boy u strong
Oh my gosh I love your videos and wish they were longer haha. You are so down to earth and deserve all the friends in the world 😩I know this is from 4 years ago BUT STILL
I could never tell you enough how proud I am of you. I love how brave you are. you really inspire me and I can't thank you enough for everything❤️
I just want to say my piece of life: I came out recently, and I'm starting highschool next year (a very religious and Catholic place) my parents are religious but sorta support the LGBT+. My mom's exact words to me when I told her I was FTM were "We'll support you, but I don't believe that you're really trans" and my heart hurts so bad because I love my parents so much but they won't even let me get a binder. At most they call me my preferred name and pronouns but they seem hella awkward using them. I hate to admit it to myself but I know I'm going to have to pay for hormones and surgery all by myself and the entire time they won't support my decisions, they think I'm mutilating my body and am gonna screw myself over😔😟😟
no ones transition is easy man so all the power to you hope things are better for you now that your no longer stealth and feel like you don't have to hide so much of your life
Sam, I feel so sorry for you! I am a transguy myself, and I would have cried my eyes out, running away from that room. You probably know this about yourself, but I want to tell you that you are so strong and you inspire me (And many others i´m sure) I`m very happy that you got through it so well and I am happy to see that you are happy now! Stay awesome, Sam!
aww im so proud of you for being strong through those years. it must've been horrible but you pulled through. im happy you found a great school in the end :) love youuuu
Aw I miss little Sam
you sound like Luke Korns I think his name is lol much love to you bro
I'm so glad ur using ur personal experience and using it to give others help, I luv u and ur postitive impact sam ❤️❤️
Totally admire you in sharing your story. Wishing you all the best Sam 👍
Yeah man i didn't go to school hardly at all in year 11 and 12 bc I had to were a fucking dress or skirt and I would have panic attacks every morning before school and the just didn't go. Transitioning in school is hard dude, glad we got past that shit.
Your moms awesome!! I would've texted my mom too, I do that all the time in class XD
Your amazing 😩❤️ always bringing a smile to my face when ever I see your videos. #hugefan
You are the cutest person ever. I just love how you are so true to yourself.RESPECT.
you're sooooo cute omg i want to kiss ur lil face
human sadness im sure your comment was with good intentions, but dont. Trans guys dont usually like to be associated with “cute” and “little”.
Us trans guys don’t really like being called “cute” but ok
@@sybauk that's good to know, although i always prefer cute guys, whether they're cis or not
I got my hair cut on July 15th five days after I came out to my family in three days it will be six months since that day
So sorry you ever had to deal with such bs. I'm so glad you have an amazing mom to advocate for you.
I'm so proud and so happy that you survived the struggle and it's all comfortable and easy for you now. You deserve the happiness Sam, great vid.❤️
get pillowcases!! lol
im 18, is it too late to transition? when is it too late to transition? i live in argentina and i can transition without needing to pay any money, i can get top surgery for free and testosterone for free, but im scared, i dont know if im too late. help me please haha
also i can ask for my passport/id and all that jazz to be changed from ftm without needing bottom surgery, but still, im kinda scared
that laws are different in different countries. try researching the laws about it in argentina! it's never too late to transition so no worries :)
It's not too late there's a trans woman at the LGBT group I just started going to that transitioned at 34
I don’t think any time is too late.
Ezra Ángel Jaramillo It's never too late to transition 😘
PROUD OF YOUUUUUUUU 💖💖💖
make me laugh the way you tell all😂, I'm so proud of you sam! te amo❣
I didn’t realize I was trans until 10th grade, even though I knew there was something different about me since the second grade. Terms came up that I didn’t know and I eventually found one that completely fit! I was so happy!
okay , but can we talk how ATTRACTIVE he looks in this video
I love your videos, cos your always honest about your problems, u ain't afraid to tell someone about how u feel x thx a lot Sam
This was almost 3 years ago, but I just love how supportive the mom was. Before my mom passed away, she used to always tell me I can tell her anything, I can go to her and tell her if I ever feel like I'm not a girl, and she was super supportive and accepting and I loved it. :(
i.want.to.hug.you. your so adorable
andi hearts you’re
Sorry
That's awful sam I'm sorry you had to go through that
I love you and I'm so proud of you💖 you are such an amazing and inspirational person and you are so strong and genuine ❤️ I'm so glad I chose to support you 😊
so proud of everything youve overcame i know this must have been tough for you. lots of love for you always kid miss u xx
+Sam Collins Hi. I'm ftm trans and was wondering how I would come out to my teachers. I'm starting highchool next year and felt like coming out. do you think I should come out freshman year or softmore year? Thank you. love your videos btw!
Ugh i feel for you, i absolutely hate being called by my legal name, i cant really do anything about it though...
I haven't watched it yet. And I already know it's gunna be good
love you, so proud of you💙
So I'm ftm trans and I'm 13 and my parents finally let me get my hair cut.... I was going to do this in the summer but nope I did it 3 days before school ends.. I'm kinda scared to go to school tommorow
I've had a teacher tell me and my gf to tell anyone who says we're not ok to go to hell
I always come to your videos for help and advice on my transitioning. You're awesome man, keep it up from one FtM to another
thank u :)
You're honestly such an inspiration to me ♡♡♡
This was the first video I watched of yours. I’m now 17. This is insane. I used to think it was crazy you had socially transitioned in high school, but i started socially transitioning when i was 14...
0:04-0:05 you look amazing
You've been through so much & I'm so proud of you :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love your transition videos!
I’m 13 and I’ve come out and have started to figure out how to transition 🙂👍
I live in England and we’re more accepting generally but my school is really great with all this, we have our own lgbt+ group and one of my closest friends from there is a trans guy and the School is good with his name/pronouns etc so I’m excited to have it changed at school officially
congrats!!! :)
where did u get that hoodie from? :O
Dude I've just discovered you today, saw all your videos and I must say u are inspiring!
I think you're so brave. U couldn't even imagine doing that.I'd be so scared.Proud of you!❤
Awwww! I feel so bad for you! Back then in 10th grade I also had a friend who was transgender and here in Germany schools don't even try to understand the feelings of those people (at least mine didn't) My school kept calling him a she and used the wrong name all the time / He even had to use the girls changing room! Well ,he left after some months and I still feel sad about that. It's 2016 yet some people are still complete assholes when it comes to topics like sexualities or genders 😒
Jordan I know this was posted awhile ago, but I am a man (was born a woman) who is thinking heavily on their future. I plan on living in Germany once I graduate college or rather moving there first and going to university there...but I am not quite sure how broadly educated Germany is on what it means to be transgender. I know they are pretty open with a variety of things, but I am not sure if I am going to be treated as a man (like will I be called by my proper pronouns/name- which will probably both be legally changed by then) there. I am just curious, and I would be humbled if you had any insight to share, thank you!
@@creativeprodigies1322 I'm pretty sure they will have respect for it, especially if you're an adult and it has been legally changed. Most people of the younger generation speak English, use social media, etc. so they will be familiar with that topic already.
As for my experience, I had someone in my older school who wanted to be a girl and everyone had to act that way too. That was only in year 8 or so.
Don't worry too much about it.
you got me scared to go to school now I just came out as transgender (ftm) and im really scared now
Kamryn Wadsworth really? I guess I'll have my own experience
Kamryn Wadsworth that's very kind 🙏 thank you!❤🌷
Sam, you're hilarious. It's so funny the way that you see things now 'cause you have been through hell and back. I'm happy that you're finally able to be who you are and don't a give about these people
You have a lot of stories and you deliver them really well. Best of luck to you.
I'm glad you had the courage to come out in high school. Its a shame i cant do the same because i go to an all girls school, and i have 2 more years of high school. This shit really sucks. I don't know what to do, can anyone help me?!?!?
Assuming your guidance counselor is willing to listen to you and try to make accommodations (ie. Private bathroom, letter to your teachers stating your pronouns/name) I would suggest reaching out to them, though changing schools was my only option since I didn't have a group of friends who would support me in coming out to their social network/my classmates so going to a new school & starting fresh at least let me focus without worrying about socially transitioning. That part is probably one of the most difficult, awkward stages of transition. Hope things work out for you dude 😁❤️
Jasper Athos The worst part is that I've been diagnosed with social anxiety, so that doesn't help. Thanks dude, i think i'm going to have to come out to my parents so they can help me socially transition by changing school. :)
I go to all girls school and it sucks like hell. Hang in there bro 😀❤
What did u say when the teacher called ur previous name
I love hearing about the positives you are currently experiencing and hope that the negatives are far outweighed
My mom looked at me and just goes "Kylie... Answer me honestly, are you trans?" I just had a mini panic attack and now she let me cut my hair.... Im scared.. Really scared.. I'm only in 8th grade (for 3 more days)... So I'm gonna go to school and have short hair...I'm scared.. I got a really bad haircut too so..
Are you alright?
Im trans MtF and i dont have supportive parents and idk how to come out (im in a new school & country). Wish me luck.
Good luck!
I love you sam you're amazing 💖 those people dont know what they missed out 😊💞
This video is such gold!!! 😂
How old is he?
Sam is 20 years old.
nck75 - thx
I'm only in 7th grade and identity as male (ftm transgender) my parents tell me that it's just a phase and that i'm too young. My parents tell me tho that once i'm 18 and can move out i can do whatever the fuck i want, but honestly i can't 5-6 years. tF sHoULd i dO
Just your average waste of space I knew I was trans from the age of ten. Told my mum, she said “probably a phase” im now in 10th grade she says “still a phase” i want to live HS as a dude not like this
SO PROUD OF YOU
You're the only one that makes me smile for a good reason.
In the thumbnail he lowkey looked like leafyishere
How does it feel to come out.
It sucks man. But once you get it off your chest it’s better
You're really inspirational. I'm going to be FtM and I'm going into 9th grade. I love you. Keep pushing, man.
Aw I love this video!
I literally just told my music teacher I’m trans, and I’m still in the closet :p...
