marco aurélio bruna cláudio - Posted on September 03, 2010A year ago something happened in my life that made me feel like ending it, if not for God and love my family, I would have killed me. Today while watching this movie, I realized how important it is that we are not silent, we must proclaim the love of God, preaching the gospel as commanded in Mark 16:15 we must go to Jesus.

Amanda - Posted on August 30, 2010This movie is amazing! I'm trying to get my school to show it, I hope they will. We are in the process. I am so sick of judgment, clicks, and down right bullying. It's time for change!

Cody Breshears - Posted on August 30, 2010Well all of it started when I was in third grade my dad was killed in a bus wreck and when I found out I felt so alone like Roger did. Sometimes I felt like taking my life but then I started going to church and I turned to God but I still felt alone then I saw this movie two weeks ago and it changed my life.

Lauren - Posted on August 30, 2010For the last 3 years my dad has emotionally and mentally abused me. To deal with it, and other things like stress, I started cutting. I even thought of suicide sometimes thinking things would be better if I wasn't here. I had never really knew that much about God. And by the time mid-terms came around in 10th frade, I had totally given up on Him and didn't even think He was real. But, during the begining of my senior year in high school a friend brought me to a Barlowgirl/Superchick concert where I was saved. I still struggle with the self-harm, but seeing To Save a Life reminded me that I'm not alone and I have a bunch of people who are more than willing to help me fight this battle. And that I can get through this with their, and God's help. This movie, and a friend, helped save my life.

REBEKAH - Posted on August 30, 2010I watched this movie with my daughter the other night. Almost 4 years ago she lost her dad to suicide. I'm hoping she can find at least a little bit of good out of a bad situation, so I'm having her host a movie party. I would like people to know that there are better ways to deal with problems. Suicide is not the answer.

Grace - Posted on August 30, 2010I had my first child when I was 23 and an abortion before I turned 24. I made many bad decisions but knew in my heart that I was a good person and that my circumstances didn't change who God made me to be. It was a long road, but once I gave over control to the God who saved me, I was set free. I am not married and have 3 more children. Sometimes I wonder if God didn't give back what I had taken. 'I am a life that was changed.'

Marcel - Posted on August 29, 2010My name is Marcel, I live in Brazil and I'm 21 years old.
After the death of my mother (when I was 16) I thought about suicide, to end my life because he saw no more sense in living a life in it. Today by the grace of the Lord God I'm fine, healed of depression and I am sure God has much to do with my life.Stay in Peace and never lose focus on Jesus Christ because only He can free us. Peace to all.

Ashley - Posted on August 29, 2010Since the age of ten I have struggled with depression, self injury, and suicidal thoughts. I was sexually abused by my grandpa as a child, and by two more guys as I entered high school, my life was out of control and I used self injury as a coping method, as well as occasionally drinking and popping pills. I knew about God this whole time however didn't think that I was worth it so just didn't bother. In the past year, I have realized that I am worth it and that God loves me no matter what. I also haven't self injury in almost 14 months, haven't seriously attempted suicide since my 16th birthday (I will be 19 this year) and I can honestly say that God has drastically changed my life!

Clint - Posted on August 29, 2010When i was in the 8th grade I was going through depression. Some people at my school even told me that i should kill myself. It was very hard on me. When I went to high school I was numb to God. I didnt care for anyone, or even myself. By the end of my sophmore year i desired to kill myself. That summer though, God changed my life through the people at a church camp. Although some were still making fun of my depression,I saw God in the way people lived at my new church. Now i have overcome my depression and am in college to minor in religion. Show God's love to everyone through your actions. You could end up saving someone's life, like someone saved mine.
