I'm the girl with the green eyes at end. I am so grateful I held on! "There's always a way out, always" 20 years later, I had to fight to hold on it wasn't always an easy road. I had to travel the long winding road of CPTSD but I am here and I am amazing! I love my life and the fight was so worth it! I have the most beautiful family and I am happy
I'm happy for your happiness. You persevered. That is incredible. I still hold this song to this day that things will get better. But for me, it has always been a struggle. I hold truth to this song. It's always been a struggle for me with what I've been through in my life. I don't know if it will truly ever get better. But thank you for sharing your struggles.
Thank you for sharing this update with us 💕 I remember my 7th grade teacher playing this for the class so many years ago. It was during a time where my own struggles were just surfacing and it's been a long road since. It hasn't been easy but like you, I am SO glad that I've held on. I have the most beautiful life now, with so many loved ones and I have felt the impact that I've made in other people's lives. Would have missed this all. To those still struggling, you can do this. You're not alone, and you're more resilient than you know. Beauty permeates through life - give yourself the chance to find it. You can do it 💕
6 years ago I put my .45 to my head and pulled the trigger, when I heard the click this song came on. And I swore to myself I would never do anything crazy like that again. Life still sucks but that's life. I was blessed to have my amazing son and I'm so thankful that that gun misfired that day. So many great bands helped me through my depression and I'm so grateful for them. I want to say thank you to Good Charlotte for making amazing music that has touched my soul and saved my life. To those who are suffering from addiction, abuse, depression, and so many other issues keep your head up it does get better. Don't be afraid to talk to someone and vent. Your life is worth it. - One love💞
I know suicide and depression well and I also love this song as it gives me hope when I hear it. I have made it so far in life now because I was able to hold on and being surrounded by great friends and family.
I’m 33 soon. I remember listening to this when I was bawling my eyes out, harming and hoping it stopped soon. I lived on this song for hope. Thank you so much for this song. I have two boys and I am still here. 💜
Been holding on for 21 years with big help from this song right here! Things did get better! To anyone who has continued to hold on whether years, months, or even days, WE DID IT BABY!
Having been suicidal in the past, I definitely lost it. However, I am here to say there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Life is such a precious gift. No matter what goes on in our lives, we will always make it through, and we will always find our happiness.
"We just hope that maybe one kid will see this video or hear this song and say, 'OK, I'm gonna hold on,' " Benji said. Yeah well it worked. And it keeps on working.
You found an incredible happiness that I feel I will never have. But, (with our same feelings about this song) I'm glad that you have found that fruitful life that you've deserved. Be blessed and happy. I don't think in this lifetime I'll ever have that. But it makes me happy enough to see people being happy and grateful for what they have.
The two parents talking about burying your children not being the order of things, and the mom waiting for Monday the rest of her life always make me tear up.
For anyone feeling alone or like everything is fucked up, I care about you, love you, and know you're precious and worth it. It gets better. I've been there.
I've been there too. For many years. You an be in a room full of people and still feel alone. But it does eventually get better. It takes time. But I promise.
I cry when I hear this song, because it makes me remember the pain. I uses to listen to this back in the day, it really helped me through hard times. They were right! Things did get better. Even though I never met them, I still felt like they cared about me back then. 🖤 Good Charlotte forever!!!!!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
that and that kid, 'i know what its like to be left behind' breaks my damn heart, it reduced me to tears when it was first released (as a suicidal teen) and now at 28 this year it still brings tears to my eyes
Crazy thing is they were absolutely trashed and dragged in the mud back in the day. Now I see people saying “they don’t make music like Good Charlotte did anymore”. I was bullied endlessly in middle and high school for being a proud fan...glad that’s changed.
Strongly Agreed, better without the sex, weed, drugs, money music people listen today.

Jayde Morrissey no because Good Charlotte is so unique and if we have more than Good Charlotte won’t be important that’s actually why Pop Punk died I think
Good Charlotte truly inspired the music world with this song that they released this time in 2003. It really placed such complex matters in proper perspective.
People hate on rock all the time but how often do you see inspirational songs like this done by pop stars? A big part of rock is the inspiration it brings and gives to people and a large percentage of rock music are about stuff like this.
SuperKiao nice vocab, sorry I should've said MOST not all. There are really great artists who make good meaningful songs. But artists like wayne, minaj, etc. not just songs mean it, but their image.
a friend of mine just past away from suicide. this is my quote! please let everyone be aware of mental health issues!. As a 29 year old man. Im crying so much right now! Nothing can ever bring him back. But i hope at least people can bring awareness to mental health issues!. R.i.P!!
I can't help but to interpret that comment as " your children are not supposed to make you sad and depressed you're supposed to make them sad and depressed "
I come here every year on my attempt date. I'm glad I failed that day 14 years ago and am living proof it does get better. I wouldn't trade my life and relationships i have now for anything.
If you listen to this song one time you may like it. If you listen to this song twice you will come to maybe understand the misery of anyone impacted by suicide. If you listen to it three times you will probably cry. What an amazing song of hope. Kudos to these kids for writing such an amazing song. Completely epic on every level.
Life does get better i have been though this as well but what got me though it was thinking of how my family would feel with out me here i couldn't put them though it. Also i was thinking if people had a problem with me then that's there issue not mine so hold your head up things will get better.
Many people share the same problem Rachel, you're not alone, always remember that ;) Some people doesn't know how to handle this, that's why videos like this are so important to spread the message!
Hello sweetheart. You are not alone, there are lots of people in the world who are constantly bombarded with suicidal thoughts by their rebel brain... I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder 18 years ago (I am 37), but my most common stage is being "low key" (depression). I take my meds and all, but that does not make these feelings and suicidal thoughts dissapear completely. Seeing that this has been a constant in my adult life, I have a piece of advice for you: After I read the AMAZING book "The Power of Now", by Eckhart Tolle, there was a sentence that struck me like a bolt of lightning: YOU ARE NOT YOUR MIND. There is nothing we can do to stop the flow of crazy thoughts our mind and subconscious produces... what we CAN do is to distance ourselves from those thougts, to see them from the outside, and to work in learning that our mind is not there to control us, but THE OTHER WAY AROUND. I have come to accept my mind´s crazy ideas of me not being worthy (and others far worse than that), and now I see them as the thing fans yell at baketball/soccer/baseball, etc (pick your sport) when they are playing. Imagine if sportspeople concentrated on those messages more than in their game???? They would lose all of them!! I have decided to concentrate on my game, on my positive aspects and my personal goals... If my mind wants to keep on screaming shit at me... It is my job to ignore it and to remind it who the boss is!!! I wish you the best, hope this helps! I would like to hear from you! jaquematecrc@gmail.com Greetings from Costa Rica!!!
I cannot tell you how many times I listened to this song, curled up in a ball on my bed, just waiting to die. Some days I still wish I had fully gone through with ending my life, I don't think that feeling will ever truly go away. But songs like this remind me that there are things in this world to keep me going. Thank you Good Charlotte. ❤
I don't know about what u feel but, I have some depression, abuse from my father since childhood, but it's been 5 years I separated with him, now I'm only live with my mom, I keep thinking about to suicide, but I saw on comments section on this song, "Taking one's life doesn't end the pain... It just transfers over to someone else". I don't know it's been 6-7yr from now I'm still fighting this thoughts keep thinking about that's to end my life, but in sametimes I keep thinking about them too, they all only reason I live since now, I don't know until when I can handle this longer but, hope we all who struggle from mental health issue, depression, stressed out etc. Hope we'll get better soon . Stay live
I feel you. I'm there alot, feels like it'd be easier to just end it all. Then I hang with friends and loved ones and then I realize i couldn't do that to them. Remember, "it gets better than you know", just hold on.
you know, i usually don't comment, but I just wanted to say is that this song saved me when i was 12 years old, living with an abusive drunk parent, I thought of suicide every day. I tried to commit suicide multiple times, i'm 23 now, and I still listen to this song. My mom passed when i was 15 from her addiction and to this day this song still gets me through my roughest patches through life, it's carried on through me for 11 years, but i'm proud to say after many years of pain, i've finally found myself, and i'm so happy that I lived through each attempt. so thank you.
I'm so sorry. It's the worst way to lose someone. I can't imagine losing a child that way. I'm sure anyone here, myself included would be available to you if you need it. DOn't be afraid to ask for help yourself.
This band's music really touches so many people of all ages. I think this song should definitely be listened to by all generations. In my 30's now and listening to some Good Charlotte songs I haven't listened to for a while and realized how meaningful the lyrics are. As an adult, I definitely appreciate this band in a different way than when I was a kid.
This song literally saved my life. I'm not joking about it, I used to listen to it in a certain period of my life when I was coming in terms with who I really am, stopped having suicidal thoughts and started to realize how much I love my life. This song was my mantra, my anthem being "it gets better than you know" and guess what? It really gets better!
Thanks for being there for me in 2004. Today I listen to this song as a healthy, happy adult. Can't believe I'm through all that shit. Can't believe I managed to hold on.
I remember listening to this when I was in middle school and bawled my eyes out when the mom said "I'll be waiting for Monday for the rest of my life." And to THIS DAY I STILL bawl my eyes out at that part!
This song saved my life. Had it on repeat every single night for about a year.. and here I am. I broke out of my depression, full time job and going back to school. Joel & Benji will probably never see this comment, but I just want to say thank you so much. Good Charlotte will be apart of me forever ♡
Im 33 years old now... but everytime I feel beaten... I come back to this. Just like when I was 14... I have to say we all are brave... it is just that some of us, take decisions with the passion of the moment. But, they are still in our memories. There is no one to blame, sometimes we don't understand someone else's pain... Until we are there.
I remember.. a few days afrer coming home from the hospital, my mom and i were cooking dinner and i was playing some music. At the end of the song, my mom asked if she could play a song for me. And it was this one. I balled like a baby. But it felt good to cry. And seeing so so so many people experience my pain and so much more. My mom told me that this song helped her through he dark times. As they are helping me now. So thank you. Thank you.
This song made me remember that there's still some shit in this fucked up world worth living for. Thanks, Good Charlotte, for helping me through 2011-2014. I'm still alive and kicking. XD
Thank you for helping me through. I remember turning this song on as a child and just crying, sometimes part way through self harm. Honestly this song has impacted me in such ways and has truly saved me
I'm 23, in my early teen years I was a dam right mess. Homeless, depression in overdrive, suicidal, self harmed and all that bullshit. I'm not being an "attention seeker" but no matter how low you get in life there's always something worth living and fighting for. It's songs like that have helped me and countless others. Since 15 I ALWAYS listen to these guys when I need a lift in life, rock on Good Charlotte and keep helping people with your music
That was very inspiring! Keep telling your testimony and help others that are struggling with a loved one who commited suicide and the ones who are planning or thinking about suicide. I struggle with depression and occasinal thoughts but I know I have the love of my life and my family and I know they would be devastated and my wife she would be really messed up if I died. I attempted suicide at least two times within a year by hanging myself and I'm glad I didn't die.
I was (idkhow) good during teenyears. Then entered 20's and gotten worse during the years lol. Now i listen to this again and realize the problems and bs i had during my teen years, was nothing in comparison with now. Feels weird af.
This right here saved my life , being 15 years old at the time , I was sexually assaulted and I didn’t want to continue anymore . I felt worthless and I self harmed. Listing to this helped me through the darkest times in my life . 11 years later I suffer from ptsd and anxiety and depression but I have been self harm free for 10 years. Any one feels like letting go , it’ll get better ❤️
@@rodendsley4401 I just saw this comment , and it’s crazy this was 4 years ago ! And now I am dealing with another type of pain of the love of my life passed 3 weeks ago. So seeing you’re comment means more to me then you ever know !
I left my two bedroom apartment in Utah and a job that paid me $79k a year, I came back to California because my dad begged for my help, I stole his pills and debit card as a kid and now I'm trying to be a decent human being towards him, My father is 75 and is very sick...I won't let him go to a nursing home. I left my whole life behind just so I can make amends and care for him.
This world, this world is cold But you don't, you don't have to go You're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely And no one seems to care Your mother's gone and your father hits you This pain you cannot bear But we all bleed the same way as you do And we all have the same things to go through Hold on, if you feel like letting go Hold on, it gets better than you know Your days, you say they're way too long And your nights, you can't sleep at all Hold on And you're not sure what you're waiting for But you don't want to know more You're not sure what you're looking for But you don't want to know more But we all bleed the same way as you do And we all have the same things to go through Hold on, if you feel like letting go Hold on, it gets better than you know Don't stop looking, you're one step closer Don't stop searching, it's not over Hold on What are you looking for? What are you waiting for? Do you know what you're doing to me? Go ahead What are you waiting for? Hold on, if you feel like letting go Hold on, it gets better than you know Don't stop looking, you're one step closer Don't stop searching, it's not over Hold on, if you feel like letting go Hold on, it gets better than you know Hold on
Damn i forgot how much i used to listen to this song when i was depressed all those years ago. YES, it does get better. And you wont ever know if you dont let "it" happen. Hold on.
“Your days, you say they’re way too long. And your nights, you can’t sleep at all”. It’s 7:16am on Sunday morning and I hardly slept last night. My mh has been bad lately but I’m holding on, just. To anyone reading this: you are loved! You will be missed by so many people. Your life is worth a damn. You matter! God bless 🙏
This song was sometimes the only thing I had to keep myself going as a severely depressed teen with suicidal ideation. Played it on repeat and blasted it as I cried alone in my room. I'm 35 now and still here. Even though I still suffer, I got the help I needed. Thank you GC for making this song and bringing awareness to such a stigmatized topic. It will always mean so much to me 🖤
Words can't explain how this song made me feel. Those of you who are suffering. I know it seems that you have no hope left and you can't get through this but it will get better. Before you scroll past this comment, please read the rest. you've probably heard that before but let me explain. okay so think about the day you were born to now.A lot has changed,right? my point is the moment you are in right now won't last forever, your life isn't going to be like this forever, it will change, right now it might feel like there is this huge wall in front of you and you can't get past it, but if you keep on pushing it, it will fall. Tear down the wall and you will see your bright future. What I mean by that is you will overcome this horrible time in your life if you don't give up. Hold on, you will thank yourself later ~
Just want to say thanks a lot for this song! This and some others really helped when I was feeling low. Since then I have accepted Jesus Christ as not only my Lord and Saviour, but also my Best Friend who loves me the most and who cares for me. Thank you for bridging the gap and I hope you guys get to know Him too. I really appreciate you guys!
i was on a dark dark place back when i was in my early teens, now im 22 and counting, better things are coming i assure you that, this song helped me a lot
I think everybody who can hear music has one album that helped them, emotionally, when they needed it the most. The Young and the Hopeless was that album for me when I was 14 and needed to have an intervention, and this was the song that spoke the loudest to me. It still speaks to me as loudly today. Thank you, Good Charlotte. You saved my life.
As a survivor of multiple attempts... this song saved me in High School...it saved me in adulthood. Im so happy I continue to homd on, regardless of how dark it gets. Darkness is there, to show us the light.
@pjd182 lol sometimes i dont even know but with each attempt i realized more and more that I wanted to live and that there was so much i wanted to do. I still struggle with it on a daily basis but I keep telling myself the universe kept me alive all those times for a reason. Whatever your belief may be, if your still here its because your book is still being written. There are still adventures and characters to meet. I still have challenges but id rather go through the challenges than lose out on new possibilities
they played this today in utrecht, i fell to my knees and cried the entire song. i got so many hugs from strangers that told me they knew exactly how i felt and that moved me so much. songs like this save people, the power of music is amazing ; today was the perfect example
glad I'm still here, best wishes to everyone and remember to always HOLD ON. the best thing will come edit: im still here, life is like a box of chocolate, bitter and sweet but i only have 1 live and its precious
I have not listened to this song for SO many years. I certainly am glad it was around in my teens because I really needed it then. But I feel like I needed it now. Which is frustrating to a degree cause I feel like I've tried so hard to work on my mental health. But lately things have gotten kind of intense, like the weight of depression, anxiety and emotions is SO heavy. And while its SO draining, I'm hoping for it to turn around soon, so I dont have to sit in this state for longer than I must to ride it out. But I feel like I'd be failing myself if I ended my life, without having a chance to try and make it out of this mental crap. But I truly am glad I watched this video and listened to this song again 💝 always reminders to keep going 🙏
This video is so powerful. This song along with 'Adams Song' by blink-182 really make you think about what some people go through. Some of the only songs that have ever made me cry.
Thank you for this song. It saved my life. First time I watched this video when it first released I decided to get the help I needed. I am still here because of this song.
Lost my brother, yesterday 22 years ago.. and lost my best friend.. Good Charlotte helped me back then, and they're still helping me to get through it.. True lifesavers
Gracias Good Charlotte por hablarlo; por hacerle y hacernos saber a TODOS, que no estamos solos, y que cuando no se tiene a nadie, no queda de otra que refugiarnos en la música sanadora, y renacer desde el dolor más grande que se tiene dentro una y otra y otra vez.... ¡Y las que sean necesarias! Pero nunca acabar con nosotros ni con nuestra vida. ¡Gracias inmensas muchachos! Un himno más para cantar en ésta vida. ♥️💫
Who’s here in 2024 ?
im still living with this song
I am ❤
This song will never leave me.
Just had Hold On tattooed.
Me too
I'm the girl with the green eyes at end. I am so grateful I held on! "There's always a way out, always" 20 years later, I had to fight to hold on it wasn't always an easy road. I had to travel the long winding road of CPTSD but I am here and I am amazing! I love my life and the fight was so worth it! I have the most beautiful family and I am happy
I am happy you are still among us in the world! God Bless you and your family! 🙏🏻❤️🌎🌻
I'm happy for your happiness. You persevered. That is incredible. I still hold this song to this day that things will get better. But for me, it has always been a struggle. I hold truth to this song.

Read the Bible to help you more and more. Don’t need to go to the church, just read the Bible from Genesis to Apocalypse.
Wow! This song is my go to song, still!! I am glad to hear that you held on, and that you have a great life❤
20 years later and this song keeps saving lives…. Including my own .
Me 2

Oh definitely he turned 3 in March. He's my world
I'm glad you're still here, stay strong 💘
I know suicide and depression well and I also love this song as it gives me hope when I hear it. I have made it so far in life now because I was able to hold on and being surrounded by great friends and family.
Good Charlotte is still my favorite band to this day
I’m 33 soon. I remember listening to this when I was bawling my eyes out, harming and hoping it stopped soon. I lived on this song for hope. Thank you so much for this song. I have two boys and I am still here. 💜
35 and had a similar thing going on 18 years ago...Then I heard this song and here I am today
I'm 34 and it still makes me cry. I've lost alot of people I've served in the army with to suicide
32 and this was gonna be my suicide song 14 years ago. Glad it wasn't. It does get better than you know. Your are not alone.
Glad you decided to stick around. Everyone that knows would also agree.
Now you make sure your boys never feel this way
Been holding on for 21 years with big help from this song right here! Things did get better! To anyone who has continued to hold on whether years, months, or even days, WE DID IT BABY!
Hold on RJ , Jesus loves you ❤

Gets me everytime. Ain't no holdin back tears.. they straight flowin
That part always, always chokes me up 😢
I thought I could make it till this part came out
Every damn time😭
Having been suicidal in the past, I definitely lost it.
However, I am here to say there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Life is such a precious gift. No matter what goes on in our lives, we will always make it through, and we will always find our happiness.
"We just hope that maybe one kid will see this video or hear this song and say, 'OK, I'm gonna hold on,' " Benji said.
Yeah well it worked. And it keeps on working.
It worked for me too.
Joel said it... jeez 🙄
"Kid"?? Really? Kids commit suicide in the US? Or he was talking about teenagers?
At the last GC show I went to Benji is the one who gave the speech before this song.
Teenagers are still kids, no matter how much they want to think they're grown.
“And I’ll be waiting for Monday for the rest of my life...”
Dude I felt that right in my feels
This song is everything to me. Because of this song I’m married and I have four amazing children . Thank you , Good Charlotte ❤️
You found an incredible happiness that I feel I will never have. But, (with our same feelings about this song) I'm glad that you have found that fruitful life that you've deserved. Be blessed and happy. I don't think in this lifetime I'll ever have that. But it makes me happy enough to see people being happy and grateful for what they have.

👌 thanks bro
And it sucks that it works that way cause I would have ended my life by now if it didnt.
I'm glad you're still here stay strong man
The two parents talking about burying your children not being the order of things, and the mom waiting for Monday the rest of her life always make me tear up.
This song in 2021 is still just as powerful as it was when it was released
Still the same in 2022 this song helps me through difficult times
For anyone feeling alone or like everything is fucked up, I care about you, love you, and know you're precious and worth it. It gets better. I've been there.
you dont even know me, how could you care about me? even the people that know me doesnt care!!
At this point I don't see the bright side of holding on

Brad S. Shut the fuck up seriously. You're probably a lonely middle aged man sat in your hostel with a room full of cats. Pipe the fuck down.
I'm just here just to listen, I'm happy AF.
Songs like this and "Adam's Song" were so important and still are. Great work.
As soon as I saw Adams song I liked this comment
What about "Last Resort" and "Broken Home" from Papa Roach? They are amazing songs too...
Never too late by Three days Grace belongs here.
Adam's song!!!!!!!
This is stay together for the Kids
It hurts to realize that there are over 7 billion people in the world, but people still feel lonely. I feel lonely too.
Very true💖
I've been there too. For many years. You an be in a room full of people and still feel alone. But it does eventually get better. It takes time. But I promise.
I feel like I can't do this anymore..I thought this feeling was supposed to go away when I got older..
Im so sorry that you feel lonely no one should have to feel lonely everyone deserves someone at least one person
Hi ,bro
I cry when I hear this song, because it makes me remember the pain. I uses to listen to this back in the day, it really helped me through hard times. They were right! Things did get better. Even though I never met them, I still felt like they cared about me back then. 🖤 Good Charlotte forever!!!!!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Oh man, the "waiting-for-monday"-phrase killed me. Sorta crying now
Same.
nakanai suteki i actually started sobbing
Me too. It sounds like she hasn't grieved at all
that and that kid, 'i know what its like to be left behind'
breaks my damn heart, it reduced me to tears when it was first released (as a suicidal teen) and now at 28 this year it still brings tears to my eyes
Raphael Red me too no many how times I hear it.
todays genoration of music needs more bands like this.
Yess they do! :) -- Been a fan of Good Charlotte since I was 9 or 10 & I am 21 now!
Gen Y ; mann I miss Gen X ugh
Crazy thing is they were absolutely trashed and dragged in the mud back in the day. Now I see people saying “they don’t make music like Good Charlotte did anymore”.
I was bullied endlessly in middle and high school for being a proud fan...glad that’s changed.
Strongly Agreed, better without the sex, weed, drugs, money music people listen today.
Jayde Morrissey no because Good Charlotte is so unique and if we have more than Good Charlotte won’t be important that’s actually why Pop Punk died I think
I feel like everyone in 2020 needs this song right now
Even in 2021 ❤️
Amen
everyone always needs this song no matter the year
I dont want to be lyric!😔
Just don't larp there is a plague. Life is pretty good. Just don't ruin it for yourself.
Good Charlotte truly inspired the music world with this song that they released this time in 2003. It really placed such complex matters in proper perspective.
People hate on rock all the time but how often do you see inspirational songs like this done by pop stars? A big part of rock is the inspiration it brings and gives to people and a large percentage of rock music are about stuff like this.
I couldn't agree more! I come back to this song whenever Im really down and it makes me see how much I have to be thankfully for: )
Pop and rap inspires to be great at sex, money is power, take drugs to become the popular people, being a douchebag is the only important thing.
+alceushunterx bore off, it's not all like that you pretentious fool.
SuperKiao nice vocab, sorry I should've said MOST not all. There are really great artists who make good meaningful songs. But artists like wayne, minaj, etc. not just songs mean it, but their image.
alceushunterx ok sorry for the fool comment, it just annoys me when people think its all like that
"you're not supposed to bury your children. they're supposed to bury you"
😭😭
a friend of mine just past away from suicide. this is my quote! please let everyone be aware of mental health issues!. As a 29 year old man. Im crying so much right now! Nothing can ever bring him back. But i hope at least people can bring awareness to mental health issues!. R.i.P!!
I can't help but to interpret that comment as " your children are not supposed to make you sad and depressed you're supposed to make them sad and depressed "
Ok that’s sad😢but very true
Amen
I come here every year on my attempt date. I'm glad I failed that day 14 years ago and am living proof it does get better. I wouldn't trade my life and relationships i have now for anything.
Damn
I am glad life got better for you I always listen when I am depressed I haven’t attempted to take life but I have thought about it multiple times
@@Dave534 even if you think about it, it's ok to talk to someone about those thoughts. You're not alone, you matter
If you listen to this song one time you may like it. If you listen to this song twice you will come to maybe understand the misery of anyone impacted by suicide. If you listen to it three times you will probably cry. What an amazing song of hope. Kudos to these kids for writing such an amazing song. Completely epic on every level.
i struggle with depression daily, i contemplate suicide constantly, i hide it from everyone. This song helps me find the strength to carry on
Life does get better i have been though this as well but what got me though it was thinking of how my family would feel with out me here i couldn't put them though it. Also i was thinking if people had a problem with me then that's there issue not mine so hold your head up things will get better.
dont do suicide. Its wasting time.
Many people share the same problem Rachel, you're not alone, always remember that ;)
Some people doesn't know how to handle this, that's why videos like this are so important to spread the message!
Hello sweetheart. You are not alone, there are lots of people in the world who are constantly bombarded with suicidal thoughts by their rebel brain... I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder 18 years ago (I am 37), but my most common stage is being "low key" (depression). I take my meds and all, but that does not make these feelings and suicidal thoughts dissapear completely.
Seeing that this has been a constant in my adult life, I have a piece of advice for you: After I read the AMAZING book "The Power of Now", by Eckhart Tolle, there was a sentence that struck me like a bolt of lightning: YOU ARE NOT YOUR MIND. There is nothing we can do to stop the flow of crazy thoughts our mind and subconscious produces... what we CAN do is to distance ourselves from those thougts, to see them from the outside, and to work in learning that our mind is not there to control us, but THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
I have come to accept my mind´s crazy ideas of me not being worthy (and others far worse than that), and now I see them as the thing fans yell at baketball/soccer/baseball, etc (pick your sport) when they are playing. Imagine if sportspeople concentrated on those messages more than in their game???? They would lose all of them!! I have decided to concentrate on my game, on my positive aspects and my personal goals... If my mind wants to keep on screaming shit at me... It is my job to ignore it and to remind it who the boss is!!!
I wish you the best, hope this helps! I would like to hear from you! jaquematecrc@gmail.com
Greetings from Costa Rica!!!
Sta Qrac are you serious. Grow up. We don't need people like you. I don't care if your joking. Just grow up
RIP Chester :(
JinJinnJinny 😔😢🙌
I know that was sad when I heard about that Chester Bennington
Rip jinjinnjinny
He didn't have to go
he held on for some time
the he let go
Aww. Bless you
If you still listen to this song in 2023, you are not alone ❤
I cannot tell you how many times I listened to this song, curled up in a ball on my bed, just waiting to die. Some days I still wish I had fully gone through with ending my life, I don't think that feeling will ever truly go away. But songs like this remind me that there are things in this world to keep me going. Thank you Good Charlotte. ❤
I'm hoping so much better for you
I don't know about what u feel but, I have some depression, abuse from my father since childhood, but it's been 5 years I separated with him, now I'm only live with my mom, I keep thinking about to suicide, but I saw on comments section on this song, "Taking one's life doesn't end the pain... It just transfers over to someone else". I don't know it's been 6-7yr from now I'm still fighting this thoughts keep thinking about that's to end my life, but in sametimes I keep thinking about them too, they all only reason I live since now, I don't know until when I can handle this longer but, hope we all who struggle from mental health issue, depression, stressed out etc. Hope we'll get better soon . Stay live
Hold on
I feel you. I'm there alot, feels like it'd be easier to just end it all. Then I hang with friends and loved ones and then I realize i couldn't do that to them. Remember, "it gets better than you know", just hold on.
#musicsaveslivea
you know, i usually don't comment, but I just wanted to say is that this song saved me when i was 12 years old, living with an abusive drunk parent, I thought of suicide every day. I tried to commit suicide multiple times, i'm 23 now, and I still listen to this song. My mom passed when i was 15 from her addiction and to this day this song still gets me through my roughest patches through life, it's carried on through me for 11 years, but i'm proud to say after many years of pain, i've finally found myself, and i'm so happy that I lived through each attempt. so thank you.
You're a brave warrior! Congrats, I don't know you but I'm REALLY really happy that you made it.. Hold on and stay strong ♡
Hold on, it gets better ♡
+Harrison Wilks u are a winner bro.
+Harrison Wilks Just trust God bro.
+Harrison Wilks Glad you're happy man
I'll be waiting on Monday for the rest of my life 😪😭😭
😢
T_T
touches every string of your heart..
I cri everytim
i broke the fuck down when she said that
This song hits hard for me everytime I listen to it bc my wife of 13 years took her own life 2 months ago and it still hurts like hell 💔 😭 😔 😩 😫 😪
I'm so sorry. It's the worst way to lose someone. I can't imagine losing a child that way. I'm sure anyone here, myself included would be available to you if you need it. DOn't be afraid to ask for help yourself.
@@shaydedsoul it's kind of hard too have friends when Noone will talk too me on here or interact with me
My brother took his life May 2nd of this year. Does it get any easier.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤
This band's music really touches so many people of all ages. I think this song should definitely be listened to by all generations. In my 30's now and listening to some Good Charlotte songs I haven't listened to for a while and realized how meaningful the lyrics are. As an adult, I definitely appreciate this band in a different way than when I was a kid.
This song literally saved my life. I'm not joking about it, I used to listen to it in a certain period of my life when I was coming in terms with who I really am, stopped having suicidal thoughts and started to realize how much I love my life. This song was my mantra, my anthem being "it gets better than you know" and guess what? It really gets better!
Mine too. Since I was 15 years old. Now I am going to be 29 soon.
This song saved me too
It does get better!
The same thing happened to me, when I thought about leaving everything behind, this song made me stand and move on. Now I'm 30!
Your comment is very touching. God bless you
Thanks for being there for me in 2004. Today I listen to this song as a healthy, happy adult. Can't believe I'm through all that shit. Can't believe I managed to hold on.
Flávia Sozzi 🙌✌️😇☮️
How are you getting on, brother? Are you still alright?
I’m glad to see that you’re still here. We love you!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I remember listening to this when I was in middle school and bawled my eyes out when the mom said "I'll be waiting for Monday for the rest of my life." And to THIS DAY I STILL bawl my eyes out at that part!
This song speaks volumes to this day.........miss you Izabel
Rest In Peace Becky, 27/09/12 I'll never forget you. You were 13. You'll always be in my heart.
Fuck man, this hurt to read
This song saved my life. Had it on repeat every single night for about a year.. and here I am. I broke out of my depression, full time job and going back to school. Joel & Benji will probably never see this comment, but I just want to say thank you so much. Good Charlotte will be apart of me forever ♡
How old are you?
Keep going. It gets better than you know.
Im 33 years old now... but everytime I feel beaten... I come back to this. Just like when I was 14... I have to say we all are brave... it is just that some of us, take decisions with the passion of the moment. But, they are still in our memories. There is no one to blame, sometimes we don't understand someone else's pain... Until we are there.
I remember.. a few days afrer coming home from the hospital, my mom and i were cooking dinner and i was playing some music. At the end of the song, my mom asked if she could play a song for me. And it was this one. I balled like a baby. But it felt good to cry. And seeing so so so many people experience my pain and so much more. My mom told me that this song helped her through he dark times. As they are helping me now. So thank you. Thank you.
huh
This song made me remember that there's still some shit in this fucked up world worth living for. Thanks, Good Charlotte, for helping me through 2011-2014. I'm still alive and kicking. XD
i'm Japanese.
I was saved in this song.
12 years go by since then.
thank you GC,,,
Good to hear that. Stay strong.
I hope your doing well
As a survivor this song really resonates. I'm grateful to those who saved my life I would have missed these last 5years. You just got to hold on.
Thank you for helping me through. I remember turning this song on as a child and just crying, sometimes part way through self harm. Honestly this song has impacted me in such ways and has truly saved me
I'm 23, in my early teen years I was a dam right mess. Homeless, depression in overdrive, suicidal, self harmed and all that bullshit. I'm not being an "attention seeker" but no matter how low you get in life there's always something worth living and fighting for. It's songs like that have helped me and countless others. Since 15 I ALWAYS listen to these guys when I need a lift in life, rock on Good Charlotte and keep helping people with your music
Wish the same could have been said about my friend :(
Joshua Reynolds your a champ bro
That was very inspiring! Keep telling your testimony and help others that are struggling with a loved one who commited suicide and the ones who are planning or thinking about suicide. I struggle with depression and occasinal thoughts but I know I have the love of my life and my family and I know they would be devastated and my wife she would be really messed up if I died. I attempted suicide at least two times within a year by hanging myself and I'm glad I didn't die.
Hold strong and keep fighting
I was (idkhow) good during teenyears. Then entered 20's and gotten worse during the years lol. Now i listen to this again and realize the problems and bs i had during my teen years, was nothing in comparison with now. Feels weird af.
This song is the reason I am still here. Now I am in music and hoping that eventually our message can save someone. I love this band, always.
This is one of my favorites by them when I have a bad day I remember it🙏 and that song we just wanna live
u read it wrong buddy boi
@@xmastoast8003 How should of I read that then?
I don`t know you , but boy I am glad you are still here !
this song might have just saved my life..
When I feel like giving up I look for this song, since I was 15 my depression and anxiety has been a crazy ride. So I’m still here holding on.
This right here saved my life , being 15 years old at the time , I was sexually assaulted and I didn’t want to continue anymore . I felt worthless and I self harmed. Listing to this helped me through the darkest times in my life . 11 years later I suffer from ptsd and anxiety and depression but I have been self harm free for 10 years. Any one feels like letting go , it’ll get better ❤️
Hopefully this finds you still here among the living sweetheart. May God bless you and keep you in his arms and He never squeeze you too tight.
@@rodendsley4401 I just saw this comment , and it’s crazy this was 4 years ago ! And now I am dealing with another type of pain of the love of my life passed 3 weeks ago. So seeing you’re comment means more to me then you ever know !
❤
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
This song saved my life. (so emo but it's true)
me too !
The fact that you're still here will never be emo.
Do you really know what depression feel like
It saved my life too. I don't think it is emo though.
That last girl and what she says hits home every time.
I'm so glad i didn't give up as a teenager..it DOES get better. This song has always been everything
I left my two bedroom apartment in Utah and a job that paid me $79k a year, I came back to California because my dad begged for my help, I stole his pills and debit card as a kid and now I'm trying to be a decent human being towards him, My father is 75 and is very sick...I won't let him go to a nursing home. I left my whole life behind just so I can make amends and care for him.
You are a good son after all. Stay strong both you and your father.
Fuck man this hit me right in the feels. You are a good person. All the best friend.
You are a good person. I hope you and your father can mend the relationship.
True family right there
R.I.P Chester
I'm still here, 14 years later.
This world, this world is cold
But you don't, you don't have to go
You're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely
And no one seems to care
Your mother's gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bear
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know
Your days, you say they're way too long
And your nights, you can't sleep at all
Hold on
And you're not sure what you're waiting for
But you don't want to know more
You're not sure what you're looking for
But you don't want to know more
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on
What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Go ahead
What are you waiting for?
Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know
Hold on
I love & miss you brother, I'll be repairing that truck we talked about 2 years ago, rest in peace, I'll see you when my time comes. :)
Stay strong ❤
Damn i forgot how much i used to listen to this song when i was depressed all those years ago. YES, it does get better. And you wont ever know if you dont let "it" happen. Hold on.
Brittany Laine yes!!!
Lies.. 15 years later I still feel the same way.
This song saved my life at 15. Now I’m 31
“Your days, you say they’re way too long. And your nights, you can’t sleep at all”. It’s 7:16am on Sunday morning and I hardly slept last night. My mh has been bad lately but I’m holding on, just.
To anyone reading this: you are loved! You will be missed by so many people. Your life is worth a damn. You matter! God bless 🙏
This video has the same atmosphere as stay together for the kids. Amazing song
Suicide doesn’t get rid of the pain. It just puts it on your loved ones
Reason why Im still here
A very underrated song with a good message ❤
This song was sometimes the only thing I had to keep myself going as a severely depressed teen with suicidal ideation. Played it on repeat and blasted it as I cried alone in my room. I'm 35 now and still here. Even though I still suffer, I got the help I needed. Thank you GC for making this song and bringing awareness to such a stigmatized topic. It will always mean so much to me 🖤
Words can't explain how this song made me feel. Those of you who are suffering. I know it seems that you have no hope left and you can't get through this but it will get better. Before you scroll past this comment, please read the rest. you've probably heard that before but let me explain. okay so think about the day you were born to now.A lot has changed,right? my point is the moment you are in right now won't last forever, your life isn't going to be like this forever, it will change, right now it might feel like there is this huge wall in front of you and you can't get past it, but if you keep on pushing it, it will fall. Tear down the wall and you will see your bright future. What I mean by that is you will overcome this horrible time in your life if you don't give up. Hold on, you will thank yourself later ~
Amy Davis thanks hun for that x
Just want to say thanks a lot for this song! This and some others really helped when I was feeling low. Since then I have accepted Jesus Christ as not only my Lord and Saviour, but also my Best Friend who loves me the most and who cares for me. Thank you for bridging the gap and I hope you guys get to know Him too. I really appreciate you guys!
This song is literally saving my life today
Keep pushing you got this, stay blessed and much 💕
I dont want to be over dramatic but when he says your mothers gone and your father hits you it hits so hard. this song saved my life.
i was on a dark dark place back when i was in my early teens, now im 22 and counting, better things are coming i assure you that, this song helped me a lot
I’m still here November 2019 still holding on
I think everybody who can hear music has one album that helped them, emotionally, when they needed it the most. The Young and the Hopeless was that album for me when I was 14 and needed to have an intervention, and this was the song that spoke the loudest to me. It still speaks to me as loudly today. Thank you, Good Charlotte. You saved my life.
As a survivor of multiple attempts... this song saved me in High School...it saved me in adulthood. Im so happy I continue to homd on, regardless of how dark it gets. Darkness is there, to show us the light.
How did you persevere?
@pjd182 lol sometimes i dont even know but with each attempt i realized more and more that I wanted to live and that there was so much i wanted to do. I still struggle with it on a daily basis but I keep telling myself the universe kept me alive all those times for a reason. Whatever your belief may be, if your still here its because your book is still being written. There are still adventures and characters to meet. I still have challenges but id rather go through the challenges than lose out on new possibilities
@@cherrie671 Your words are very kind and I appreciate them.
@pjd182 i know what its like to not have anyone to talk to about these things. If you need to talk im listening!
@@cherrie671 I appreciate that as well. Thank you.
they played this today in utrecht, i fell to my knees and cried the entire song. i got so many hugs from strangers that told me they knew exactly how i felt and that moved me so much. songs like this save people, the power of music is amazing ; today was the perfect example
Vincent Otten have a good day!
This song deserves so much more views.
LRZN This video is blocked in some countries
im still here @27 and this song still helps! everyone is loved and im so proud of you!!!!!
This song has saved my life more time than I can count.
glad I'm still here, best wishes to everyone and remember to always HOLD ON. the best thing will come
edit: im still here, life is like a box of chocolate, bitter and sweet but i only have 1 live and its precious
There’s a message in everything! Not just music!! But, yes!! This band got me through high school and I will forever remember them!
Please remember this.. Family and friends would rather listen to you than attend your funeral. Keep holding on
This song saved my life. My dad took his life 11/07/03
Rest in Peace Dad. 😢
2020 , Quarantine . Hold on.
We will rise up again.
i cried listening these friends and famiies speaking.
I have not listened to this song for SO many years. I certainly am glad it was around in my teens because I really needed it then. But I feel like I needed it now. Which is frustrating to a degree cause I feel like I've tried so hard to work on my mental health. But lately things have gotten kind of intense, like the weight of depression, anxiety and emotions is SO heavy. And while its SO draining, I'm hoping for it to turn around soon, so I dont have to sit in this state for longer than I must to ride it out. But I feel like I'd be failing myself if I ended my life, without having a chance to try and make it out of this mental crap. But I truly am glad I watched this video and listened to this song again 💝 always reminders to keep going 🙏
This song kept me going as a teenager. I’m 37 years old now.
This video is so powerful. This song along with 'Adams Song' by blink-182 really make you think about what some people go through. Some of the only songs that have ever made me cry.
This song saved my life and still does to this day... it gets me through the darkest moments
Thank you for this song. It saved my life. First time I watched this video when it first released I decided to get the help I needed. I am still here because of this song.
Esta canción necesita ser escuchada por muchos más, es el abrazo que tanto andamos buscando, se fuerte
Así es, está canción me gusta muchísimo, soy un sobreviviente de 2 intentos de suicidio, pero aquí sigo
Acá sigo. Y muy felizmente lo superé. Gracias por las palabras. Solía leer los comentarios para sentirme un poco mejor. Y ahora se ve tan lejano. ❤❤
having bad days here, still here, still hold on
Lost my brother, yesterday 22 years ago.. and lost my best friend..
Good Charlotte helped me back then, and they're still helping me to get through it.. True lifesavers
I can feel that my grandpa pass and tomorrow is going to be 19 years not a day go by with out me thinking of it
This kept me alive 20 yrs ago. Still can't listen this without tears.
I hope nobody has to face this situation and nobody has to take that extreme step.
I'm still hold on here 24 January 2019. Who else with me?
ΣDM LӨVΣЯ yup
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
Trying. Not getting any easier though. The losses just keep piling up.
Been holding on since I was 12, I am 27 now and I'm Still Holding on.
Gracias Good Charlotte por hablarlo; por hacerle y hacernos saber a TODOS, que no estamos solos, y que cuando no se tiene a nadie, no queda de otra que refugiarnos en la música sanadora, y renacer desde el dolor más grande que se tiene dentro una y otra y otra vez.... ¡Y las que sean necesarias! Pero nunca acabar con nosotros ni con nuestra vida.
¡Gracias inmensas muchachos!
Un himno más para cantar en ésta vida. ♥️💫
I heard their music so much growing up. How the hell does this song only have 4.8M views after 12 years despite them being such a well known band?
This song saved my life
