This man has been my prime inspiration ever since I discovered OM&M. He's got a heart of gold. He's the main reason I want to be in a band. When I met him, I told him that he'd see me on stage one day, doing what he does. Which is saving lives by the thousands with my music. He's also who got me to stop cutting. He told me, "If I made it through, then I know you can." I will always view Austin Carlile as a god among men. He's a hero to millions of people. And he's gonna stay that way.
Finally someone reaching out to his mountain of fans who maybe relate to bullying, and actually being a idol to look up to! A very good post Patrick :-). Wise words. What a lovely young man.
you can see that when he talks about the kids that bullied him in highschool he's about to cry so he stops talking for a couple of seconds. I admire Austin so much really, he's one of my biggest inspirations, but with this video we realise that bullying is something that will affect you all your life, those memories haunt you. but I'm so proud of Austin because he's a sucessful man that saves a lot of life's throught his band. and he proved bullies wrong.
I love how he genuinely cares a lot about all his fans and takes time to talk to his fans through social media and in person. I feel like multiple singers really don't care about their fans as much as they could. But austin knows what a lot of us are going through and that is why Austin Carlisle is truly an inspiration and my idol! ❤️
at least there is one person that realizes that just because they make this music there is more to it and doesnt bash them for the music they make i wish all people could be like you!
Although I don't really listen to his music, Austin really does seem like one of the most genuine people I've ever seen. That's what I love about these bands, they're made up of some of the best people. I can kind of relate with a lot of the music and the people that make the music and I just love them all so much.
I know what you mean. I was talking about OM&M at school, and some of my friends thought I was talking about "Of Monsters and Men." When they found out who I was talking about, one of my friends gave me this look that was like, "Oh...so that's what you're like?" She made it seem like metalcore/screamo/punk/whatever genre OM&M is in was bad or somewhat satanic. It hurt, but it definitely won't change my views on this AMAZING band.
I literally lost friends because I love this band so much and they said things like "I thought you were a nice person but you like that satanic shit." But lets be honest I'm better off without them. :)
That's exactly my point, especially because they've helped me and many other people through things, such as depression. So why hate them? If you genuinely hate something, leave it alone, and ignore it, rather than saying something hurtful to someone who likes it. It just doesn't make sense.
You can see him tense up when he talks about the things that bullies do around 1:20 because those things have happened to him in the past. So sad. He is my hero.
He's right. You can really let out your anger with things like art and music. I'm being bullied at my school and I absolutely hate it, but I don't release my anger in a negative way. I use music to make me feel better. I get lost in the music and forget about everything else in the world. I shows me that I could be very successful in playing guitar and that the people at my school are wrong. I really thank Austin for helping me to get through being bullied. It has showed me that you need to be true to yourself and not to accept what other people say you are, but to accept what YOU say you are. You are awesome Austin!
He is so fucking awesome he is one of the reasons why I wanna be in a band. Just having fun, going crazy on stage, but MOST IMPORTANTLY HELP CUTTERS AND SUICIDERS MANY OF MY FRIENDS DO IT. AND I SWORE THAT I WILL GO THROUGH ALMOST ANYTHING TO HELP MILLIONS WHO DO IT. I love you Austin no homo. Ur my inspiration
I cannot express how much Austin has inspired me to be... better. To try harder. He is such a great person and I hope that one day, I'll be able to meet this wonderful person that has helped change my negative mentality into a healthier, more positive lifestyle.
It's terrible that he went through that. I can relate though, not as bad as what he went through. He's such a cool guy and would love to meet him someday.
I've just been speaking to a stranger on blahtherapy.com about being bullied. My Computer died and I feel awful as there's no way of knowing if she got my last messages. She sent me this link and said that this video had been helping her a lot. I hope she comes back on here and see's this message. Good luck with the future! Listen to what he's saying, because it's all true. Before you know it, you'll realize that people who don't have a positive effect on your life are forgotten about very quickly! X
I would love and do anything to see Of mice and Men, I'm 21 and get bullied for being transgender, I was born female but I've felt male my whole life.I'm not skinny I was told I to starve, that I'll never make something out of myself. I was had the Shit end of the stick, my adoptive mother who is my mommy dies and my birth mother comes back to my life and tortures me. I hate my life and for going on three years I chose to self-harm been institutions, I thank the bands that I listen to. They've helped. Though, I'm not going to lie some of them didn't save me from self-harm. I still struggle. I have urges. But I try not to do it. The song You're Not Alone I listen to it as a ritual now twice a day, and it helps me to slowly ease the pain. Call me an obsessed fan, but I am alone and those words made me feel that someone is there, just not physically, but there is someone.
I like that quote "An eye for an eye, means the whole world is blind"

Yes
I don't care what the fuck you guys say about this man. I will never stop supporting him no matter what. He is my hero & always will be.

I never wanted this to end. Seriously motivated me to help others and continue with my band.
Austin: I want 40 kids
I volunteer as tribute!
Brandy Gibbs same 😂
And that's why he is one of my favorite persons EVER
I love how he genuinely cares a lot about all his fans and takes time to talk to his fans through social media and in person. I feel like multiple singers really don't care about their fans as much as they could. But austin knows what a lot of us are going through and that is why Austin Carlisle is truly an inspiration and my idol! ❤️
One time when I was mad I was going to cut and then I remembered austin saying all this thing and I need up running 5 miles and I felt way better
I love this guy, I'm not really a fan of their music but he seems like one of the most genuine people on this planet
at least there is one person that realizes that just because they make this music there is more to it and doesnt bash them for the music they make i wish all people could be like you!
this is so true. he is an inspiration. not just with music. he's one of the sweetest person anyone will ever meet.

can you hear me cry in the back soo sad but look where he is now :) My HERO
Wow he's so inspirational... It's pretty sad how my friends judge the music I listen too when they don't even listen to the lyrics.! I just love him!
I know what you mean. I was talking about OM&M at school, and some of my friends thought I was talking about "Of Monsters and Men." When they found out who I was talking about, one of my friends gave me this look that was like, "Oh...so that's what you're like?"

They're not really "friends" if they judge you
I literally lost friends because I love this band so much and they said things like "I thought you were a nice person but you like that satanic shit." But lets be honest I'm better off without them. :)
It's so sad bc Of Mice & Men isn't satanic.
That's exactly my point, especially because they've helped me and many other people through things, such as depression. So why hate them? If you genuinely hate something, leave it alone, and ignore it, rather than saying something hurtful to someone who likes it. It just doesn't make sense.
The world needs more people like Austin...

I can relate to you, love. I'm going through the same thing at the moment.
CookieMonsta :3
If you need someone to talk to I'm here. :)
he kinda did say something to him, the guy that bullied him. he said it on stage. I cant remember what it was but yeah so yeah.
By "reach out to me" does that mean tweet him obsessively for 10 months or is there another way you can actually reach out?
So this is not accepted by society but 'my anaconda don't' is?
the fangirls are unreall
What did he say around 2:51
He doesn't say anything it's just scoffing
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say none of this ever happened
15 people srsly need some counseling
I Want 40 kids *gives a cute smile* hey I want them too if you get it -u- jk
15 people srsly need some counseling
