D_from_Greece - Posted on July 29, 2010I was pretty much suffering during secondary and high school because I was overweight. When I lost all the extra weight and - let's say - I was neither ugly nor stupid (all straight A's) they started to question my manhood, because in Greece when bullies cannot make fun of your looks, they use this.But I found the strength and fought back.Noone saved me,it was just the heaven's assistance and myself.Finally, I proved how petty and jealousy they were.There I was, at senior year of high school, good-looking, smart and with a girlfriend.Now I'm senior in Law School, still smart, a little bit more fit and with a great social life. Those bullies...they work as waiters and shop clerks.When I visit my mother town I really feal sorry for them.You Can make a difference, by Heaven's power and your courage everything is possible!

Maggie - Posted on July 27, 2010I have no story, just as the real world of injustice and anger, just more of the family to stop crying.

Paul - Posted on July 27, 2010I was the jock who ignored everyone who wasn't "good enough" my friends and i picked on the little guy, all the while i called myself a christian, went to church and youth group. Here I am 8 years later looking back on a life of destruction and greed that I almost ended becuase I couldn't deal with the limitations I have due to an injury I recieved in Iraq. I now realize that maybe I can be a testimate to what happens when you ignore the calling of God.

G.D.A. - Posted on July 27, 2010all my life i can remember i felt so down. i never felt accepted or like beeing apart of somthing...there were times in my life when i wonder what it would be like to disapear .will any one miss me? will any one cry for me? i felt ugly and sad and imagine myself beeing some one else...i needed someone to just talk to me. Make me feel like i'm important.I could see why there was happy people around me.It took me a while and some greats friends to discover my purpose..I found that God is my image..and i wanna look like Him and i want to talk to Him:)...No one says that life will get better, no worries, no problem, it just that when u have God, u don't have to face them alone...I want my life to be a real testimony and i want to be that great friend that is showned in Proverbs 17:17, cause I was first loved and it's my time to love back.

Rachel - Posted on July 25, 2010My life has had its ups and downs. Im that teen who used to be a perfect christian little girl, then grew up.Ive been through actually falling in love with only one guy in my life.Josh.The relationship did great until he ended it & only to make it worse, ended it b.c we couldnt "do" things anymore.it basically killed me. i kept thoughts and tears inside everyday.so ive had alot of bad things happen to me w/ guys.i look to them instead of God.even when i know im wrong. Then i ended up about a week ago going to this life camp.it was so powerful the night of repentance that i broke into tears and told my youth paster EVERYTHING.The guilt inside was building up.and no, it will never fully go away.but i learned that, w/ God first, you have to know.2nd,you believe it, 3rd, (VERY last) you feel it.

Rachel - Posted on July 24, 2010Last week I felt so pressured, My dad left us, I was having trouble with friends, and I really wanted to just disapear and never come back. I was going to over does a lot but some of my friends stopped me from doing too much. I felt so very alone and didn't want to talk to jesus. I felt like he made it worse. I watched this movie last night and it was so amazing. It helped me realize that Im not alone and certain people and God really care about me. It also made me want to go out and save a life too. I now realize that *I* can.

Kase - Posted on July 24, 2010This past winter on December, 29 my cousin killed him self with out warning. I got the call from my dad, it seemed like my cousin had it all together, but that was on the outside, on the inside he was suffering. There is nothing i can do about it now. We need to realize that just because someone looks fine they could be hurting on the inside. We need to be Jesus to them and look after the kids that are hurting.

Ralf Angermann - Posted on July 23, 2010I have just watched the movie and it reminded me of how superficially we treat our lifes. I have met someone a couple of years back who has brought me closer to God and I am so thankful about it. Everyone should have a very close bond to God. It has helped my life in so many ways and puts a smile on my face every day that I get up. I would not be able to go trough days if I didn't have God in my life. He brings you closer to people, makes you more tolerant and open-minded. Of course I am just human and I make mistakes, but God helps me to get through them. I love you God and I am thanking the people who made this movie and it reminds me of how I wanna treat people equally as important as everyone is in our lifes and who we run into every day. Thank you!
