I'm celebrating my 4th year this month of no alcohol. It took me watching my brother die on his death bed from cirrhosis to stop. I made a promise to him while he took his last breath whether he heard me or not I made a promise to him I would not drink anymore.
I have a great suggestion from a deathcore band called suicide silence, despite the name the song "Don't Die" has a lyric video and the message is actually really encouraging. Here it is if you wanna check it out I noticed nobody has really reacted to it.

I love you and your videos you really help me alot
@MentalAmanda i was bullied too as a kid too it was not fun being bullied but this was one of my favorite songs its a good song.
Another Video that deals with suicide is "One Voice" ft. Billy Gillman, who originally recorded that song when he was 10. It is very powerful, as well as "Everybody Walking This Land" which drives home your comments during this video.
Here is my reaction to One Voice from Home Free and Billy Gilman!
ua-cam.com/video/DrKvcGBMn8Y/v-deo.html
Matk Wills is the original artist to perform this.
His version is extremely powerful as well.
Home Free did a fantastic collaboration.
This song has a very powerful message to a very serious subject. Love that Home Free isn't afraid to tackle the issue of bullying. And I really appreciate that Home Free doesn't take the limelight away from the original artist & the message. Both of these young actors have Down Syndrome & they did an awesome job in their parts!
Mark wrote this in response to his daughter being bullied as a child years ago (she's the one who is singing with him at the end).
The young man in the video is the one who created "21 Pineapples", a great online store that supports different people everywhere.
I'm just glad you made it far enough into adulthood to be able to examine and rewrite those mental tapes regarding your worth. Grief is like an anticoagulant that causes us to continue to bleed through time, until healing and resolution close the wound. "You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book" (Psalm 56:8).
Without looking, as I ambled through UA-cam, there you were...stopped to watch and listen, immediately saw the value of you and what you do. There's no telling how far the positive ripples you create will go. So glad you made it through, so happy you are here. The entire world is better because you are. Thank you.
I can't imagine why anyone would attack you. You are such a kind and dear person. The world would be a lesser place without you. Bullying is so horrible. If people can't be nice, then they could at least leave other people alone. Home Free are some of the most human humans there are. So kind and genuine. I have yet to watch this video without crying. Loved your reaction.
Hurt people don't like to see people who once were at rock bottom healing or thriving because it reminds them that they are choosing to stay in the darkness. Misery loves company!
I am sorry to hear that you have lost a child. ❤
Sadly, so have I.
In 1999, the 5th of march, ten days befor his 8th birthday, my son Robin died. A doctor that I met said:
"The sorrow will nerver end, you just learn to live with it."
He had lost his son some years back. Now, 24 years plus , later I can agree with him. Stil hurts.
Sending my strength to you and all others that goes through the jurney. Hugs.❤
My experience has been that is very hard for a person to continue to treat another badly when they continuously get kindness in return.
My Grandmother used to say, "Courtesy cost nothing, spend it freely".
Thank you, Amanda, for talking about pure emotion and feelings that we all go through but are afraid to talk about. You are a special person and I'm so happy I found you. I'm glad your light still shines bright.
I was that bully to some of the kids in grammar school. I never hurt anyone physically, but I'm sure I hurt some hearts and some souls. I would not remember those kids if I met them now, but in my heart I apologize for my cruelty. This video cut my heart. Isn't it amazing that the boy and girl who were bullied in this video, where the ones to do initiate the forgiving and new relationships? And to hear you living that same way. Thank you, again, for all that you are doing to help us, no, me, with all those parts of myself that are becoming better than they would be without your spirit crossing my path. I'll share with you my life motto that came to me after many years in many religions organizations, after realizing that I cannot do all the things that people expect of me. Perhaps it will help others. "We are human beings, not human doings."
Everybody Walking This Land by HF next.
Home Free doesn't shy away from subjects that a lot of folks find hard to do. I think you already reacted to Home Free's video "Obe Voice" which is about teen suicide....there is another one maybe you might like is Home Free's cover of "When will I be loved" also don't pass up on Home Free's seasonal music....recommendations O Holy Night, Silent Night & a fun one Grandma Got runner over by a Reindeer.....it's hilarious
I love this song.
Your compassion and emotional awareness is beautiful. Love your message and the reaction was wonderful.
Mark released this song 25 years ago. I have always loved the message and the song, but this version with Mark and Home Free is awesome.
I found your channel by accident, this has been my favorite song for a long time. I was bullied in high school because of being overweight and fought with my weight as well as mental health issues. Thank you for reviewing this song, you are amazing ❤
First time hearing this song. It's a heart grabber. And I needed the freshness you give your channel. My journey has been watered with tears, and love for others. I will tell my story in time. Starting the day I was born in 1957. Amanda, thank you for the care you carry in your heart. I am so sorry you lost a child. It is a pain that is the worst there is.
thank you for your heartfelt reaction. The lows in life can be incredibly hard, but we have to find a way to stay positive; knowing there will be better days ahead. And you've probably heard it a million times, sorry if totally redundant, but such a good reminder. "Suicide is an irreversible, permanent solution to a temporary problem." Never a good choice. Glady you are here.
I loved this song when Mark first released it. Then my favorite acapella group recorded it with Mark. AWESOME!!!
Love This Song ❤
Thank you so much for your reaction & your words to let all of us know that YES we ARE all worthy. The world is so very messed up but this positive attitude helps tremendously.
I got bullied my entire time at school. Back then people didn't understand Adhd. I turned me mean, but I never bullied anyone.
My worst bully died of an overdose years ago.
I laughed when I found out, then felt bad because I knew his brothers.
Still, the world is a better place without him in it.
Wounded animal attack first. We're no different.
I've been through many *downs and downs no real upsides but I have learned not to judge others
Most the time, we have to CREATE the upsides!
powerful song and statement, the young man put himself in his bully's shoes, thought they might be hungry and met them with kindness. He proved to be a better man than I could be, I probably would have removed myself from the situation (walk a different way, etc) he chose to resolve it.
Walking away is also an option, but resolving it means they are less likely to find another target.
While I was watching this video reminded me of when I was growing up. I had explained earlier that I was a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. We had moved and ended up going to a different school district. I was the new kid on the block. At recess, I had a group of kids that just wanted to beat the shit out of me for no reason..I was a shy kid growing up and I wasn't a fighter. Probably because I was short. But I'm so happy that you shared this video. I'm also ecstatic that there's people out there that want to nip bullying in the bud. I also want to thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥. Before I found out about you, I was in a really dark place. I was listening to Scarlet letters by Mulvane. I don't know if you are familiar with them. But I was listening to this song for a LONG time and almost gave into suicide. I'm so happy that I didn't. I'm just so happy that I came across your website and listening to your journey. You have really saved me from doing something stupid. You have me until the end of time. I ❤you Amanda so much for showing me that I'm not the only one that felt this way. Keep up the great job of reaching out. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sounds like you are on the right track! Keep up the good work❤❤❤
What a great reaction. My heart goes out to you and anyone else that has had this happen to them. You gave such a beautiful message. Thank you.
Such an important message, so inspiring to see the two youngsters participate. Whether the story is based on real events or not, I believe it’s the stories we tell that can change our lives and the world around us.
This so very sad but beautiful at the same time. Home Free are the best. The lady singing is Mark Wills sister. Love your reaction!
#HOMEFREE!
Mark Wills released this song in 1998 and the message is just as powerful then as it is now. The girl in the blue dress singing beside Mark is his daughter, who I believe the song was inspired by.
I love you Amanda! A lost soul from Ontario, Canada. Your empathy gives me hope. xo
God bless you!
Love ya Amanda you’re amazing 😍😘
no matter how old this song is.. every time i hear this song wow, i was kinda wanting to see the original version but this one is good to
Thank You, for the great song, God Bless you sweet lady 🙂
What fears ….., insecurity …, pain .., causes someone to be a bully? The crosses are many, the understanding rare.
You are an amazing person can you matter in this world Karma and you are worthy of great potential I'm glad I stumbled across this video and I want you to keep continuing these positive vibes you bring and share with the world. I hope you find great kindness and prosperity
Amanda I so wish I was there to give you a hug and say that one day we will have beautiful wings
Nick Diamond is a ceo of his funky shirt company. Amazing young man😊
You seem to have such a lovely soul. ❤
Thank You
I was bullied from 5th to 8th grade. I attended a school in 9th grade and the school bully was tall tried to bully me (I'm a pacifist). I snapped and took him out and he declared I was now incharge of the school. I wouldn't allow bullying anymore while I was there.
I am a new subscriber and I appreciate you and your channel and I love what you are doing
@Mental Amanda. I agree with you 100%. When I was in the 8th grade, for some reason my ears and my two front teeth had decided to grow faster than my head. So, I would have been renamed to Donkey Dumbo kid and so forth with all making fun of names that can be thought of to describe that I had big ears and buck teeth. My mother told me just look them idiots and say, “Thank you for taking your time out of busy day just to notice me. Thank you so much.” Or tell them, “So what is you point and tell me something I do not know.” Now honestly, I can say it di work for about 89% of the time, but the reactions that these people would have was priceless. Never again since then did I receive any negative feedback due to my appearance or intelligence “lack of”. Now I have viewed several of your videos Amanda and have been part of your live videos as well, and I am aware of where you stand with your belief, and if I offend you with this next statement, please let me know so I can apologize to you, but know I only say this to you to let you know that you are wanted and loved. You were created by God, He designed you. So, you are not a mistake. His son died for you just so you can be forgiven. He picked you to be His own. So, you are chosen. He redeemed you. So, you are wanted. He showed you grace just so you can be saved. He has a future for you because He loves you. You are a child of God. We are all proud of you and what you do for all of us.
Not offended at all. You are passionate about your faith and that is beautiful. I hold space for you and hope you can do the same for me even if we disagree 💖
@@MentalAmanda I will never disagree. I do respect your views on what you have talked about.
I wonder if you've ever listened to "Caught in the Crowd" by Kate Miller-Heidke:
I was young and caught in the crowd
I didn't know then what I know now
I was dumb, and I was proud
And I'm sorry
If I could go back do it again
I'd be someone you could call friend
Please please believe that I'm sorry
You should do "How do you get that lonely" by Blaine Larson. It's a beautiful powerful song from the perspective of the family of a suicide victim.
I did and it got blocked! I posted it on Patreon.
If there is someone who totally disagrees with a statement I've made I don't get angry (like I used to). I just tell them, they are entitled to their own opinion, and that I can agree that we disagree. No problem!
One of my classmates knew I was being physically and mentally abused because she recognized it in me she was going through mental abuse. I was an athlete she was in advanced classes to compensate for what we were dealing with. If I didn’t get 1st place or missed a tackle I heard about it. If she didn’t have perfect grades she heard about it. We just didn’t say anything about it till 30 years after high school
So beautiful that you found each other to get through those times 💖
Love You❤🩹
Amanda, you're easy to love. ❤
This song is literally me all my life. Bullying at school and at home. Judged by my own family and friends because of my looks and things I couldn’t control. That’s why I make YT videos wearing a mask. I can’t show who I am because I am apparently “too stupid” and “too ugly” and “look like a horrible person”. Thank you for reacting to this. Also can u please do some more disturbed?
Edit: “too fat” “too thin” hit me so hard 😢
I can't wait until the day you see your worth, see that these people judged you because of their own insecurities and trust us enough to take off your mask 💖
@@MentalAmanda thank you 🙏
I really needed that
I was bullied for thirteen straight years because of my weight. Ill be sixty in a couple months and i stiil feel the pain sometimes.
Some memories stick with us for a lifetime. I hope, despite those occassional struggles, you know how beautiful you are now.
Reaction 3. I didn't have the courage in school to be myself. Small towns in my childhood had a certain mold they expected boys to be cut out of. At least that is what my shadows told me, so I did my best to oblige this expectation. I have been miserable my whole life because of this choice. Everyone around me came to know a fictional character and they all hated me. Hell, I hated myself. Drinking and drugs helped me to remain in character without as much honest emotion. IDGAF when I was f'd up. Decades of portraying a hardass wore me down, especially when I have always known the coward that I am. I started making my plans to exit stage left. I'd be lying if I said that I never think about now. I guess being a coward does have One perk. Being to scared to leave on your own is a silver lining?
I was bullied and sold my soul in many ways to try to fit in. It isn't until recently that I finally said "screw it" and started truly living authentically. Makes a HUGE difference with your mental health! You're still in there! Let your freak flag fly!
I remember when i first heard the original and losing it in front of the girl i was dating at the time.

The woman in the video is Mark Wills' daughter
I was lucky at school i only had one person who tried to bully me. I put him in his place. From what you would call 3rd grade i always tried to support the outsider. Yes that put me on the fringe. I was fortunate though it didn't lead to bullying. What it did do was make me carry that through to adult life. I will always call out the bully.
That was part of my reasons for serving "to protect those that can’t protect themselves "
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I do have a suggestion for a video.
This one though is a tough one. It's a James Blunt, so be prepared. It's a subject that many deal with byt many do it behind closed doors. One that they blame themselves for where no blame is warranted.
Miscarriage 😭

Sending all my love.
Would love to see a reaction to We Are The Others by Delain, look up the story of Sophie Lancaster for the backstory.
I do not like bullying at all because I was bullied when I was younger right up to the age of 20, also I sorry you said you loss a child it brings tears to my eyes because I couldn't have kids at all, when I see kids it makes me hate myself.
I don't know if you've seen Handmaid's Tale, but there is a scene where Serena Waterford is abusing June/Offred for not being pregnant. My brain has been Serena before. It sounds like yours has too. Just like June, it might take us time to find our strength, but we have to stand against the bullying, even when it comes from our own brain.
@@MentalAmanda thank you ♥️
The original artist Mark Wills is singing
I was like the boy in the video when I was younger and I had to go through it for years , but then I meet this girl who also went through it as well then I found out , when she was 5years old she was raped my the man her mother left her farther for, to cut a long story short ,we wed and have been married 34years and been together 45years and I will not let anyone pick on her.
I am so glad you both got the happy ending you deserve!
we want a reaction about / MC Abdul /
I planned on last night be my last night but I'm still here. What do you do if you can't afford help?
Please email me or message me on IG and we will figure something out!
A new song by Tom Macdonald just dropped and i think you should check it out. It's called Better Version and its a song that i think you and everyone that watches your channel need to hear.
They put me in speech therapy in 1st grade it didn’t take long for them to say I was stupid or the “R” word. I was in there for speech not anything else. If you ask me for money I’ll stop and talk with you to gage if you’re just trying to get you next fix. If you don’t think well of others because of their difficulty that is how God wanted them, why do you (other people) have to hide your issues
People can be so cruel. I hope you see your worth now. As far as stopping to help people, I don't try to judge where the money will go. As a recovered addict myself, I can say that a tiny act of kindness can change everything. If they're trying to get their next fix, they aren't less of people, they just need a different kind of help and support.
oh no problem, I have grown from that and don’t associate myself with those people even when they reach out to me.
Can you do LosT by bring me the horizon if you haven’t already?

listen to ....how do you get that lonely
