"Everyone has different scars. Mine are just visible." That is so powerful.
Yeah totally.
Great bravery.
Every day he lives is courage
Warriors Son 1966 how is he courageous?
@@jetuwu8960 dude you ever eat pizza and then drink chocolate milk and get the worst stomach ache ever and you're sitting there on the toilet feeling like your insides are going to explode and theres literally nothing you can do except just sit there and wait for your guts to release themselves and you're sittin there for like at least 10 minutes waiting in agony and then finally u get that release and you're like damn that was the most courageous thing i've ever had to do
Schlomo Shekelstein ah i see now, thank you for your insight
🥺🥺
Thanks so much bbc for sharing bits of my life with the world
You're a strong, nice and kind human being! Such an inspiration 🖤
You’re amazing bro
Jadiant Quinn Your an incredible person with a great attitude, you will go far in life, keep being positive my friend..
You’re such an amazing and beautiful person ! So inspiring x
Wow, You're so strong man. You're honestly amazing:)
No one is talking about how much style he has
Actually, he did when he said he paid more attention to fashion and tried to look more presentable after becoming a teenager and starting to care about his appearance more.
1000th like
He really does.
True
Annbrial Lawrence I mentioned his fashion sense when I sent him a message. I think he looks awesome!
“… and I remember what it was like to have fingers and hold onto stuff…” hit me so hard. We take all we have for granted
Star Wave yes we do bro /I just seen this and wow wow wow .God bless
@@vintomasula Made me tear up when he told this happened to him as a child - just thinking about a little child going about with that condition.
tbh i started laughing but laughter is just how i deal with stressful situations
It’s like that sad scene in Edward scissor hands, where his creator (dad I guess) hands him those hands for Christmas, so he won’t have scissors for hands anymore. but then Edward accidentally breaks them because he got too mesmerized over how beautiful they were and his creator died right after that. We all take hands for granted yes.
We honestly do. Every damn day we people forget how much harder things in life could be.
I want to hug him and be his friend. Is that weird? I love his soul. He seems like such a beautiful person.
Morgan Jo Its kinda weird but if u want to, do it 😂🤷🏼♂️
Yeah no that that’s weird
My heart goes out to him ❤ He is no different than any of us.. In a way we all have scars to show but sometimes ours r hidden from plain sight.. But his r on the outside n how positive he stays is a beautiful thing. ❤❤✊👍
Morgan Jo Nope ur not strange at all you got a gold heart
Are you ok?
Should I start posting soon on this RUclips channel? 👀 i keep getting the question about it. Ps my Instagram is Jadiant.
Literally all my social media is that haha
Definitely! I think you'd be a great youtuber! What types of videos would you make?
Please do Would love for you to share more of who you are 😊
DO it! You will be awesome no matter what you do!
You would be a real inspiration to many! :)
Definitely! Would love to see more about you :). I really admire you
“Confidence is a habit, not a personal trait” ❤️
I dont complain about my life anymore.

Simon B. I still complain
this questions my power level
Well his life is of course a lot harder than the life of the most of us, but still we are in different life situations
This is what you called body positivity.
Ughhh yesss
Yes! Agree! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
95% of the body. That left me speechless. You‘re such a strong soul! ❤️
at 4 years old!!!
I just had to cry thinking about a poor 4yo baby being burned that severely. My youngest son is approaching 4 and I can’t imagine my baby having to go through something like this. So much love to you and your overwhelming strength.
@Michael Chapman You are a Pos!!! I am muting and blocking you...I could care less what your dumb ass has to say POS!!!

@@rachel7196 Well I was
This whole vid touched me but when he said we all have scars his is just more visible and not any less painful I felt that. I felt all of that.
His so strong! He is also so positive 😊
I'm strong
LobotomisedTardigrade lol wtf?
@@remmy8282 I'm strong as fuaaarrrk brah
@@Tomas-ml9nv u mirin brah?
I love this guy. I love his attitude. I hope he knows how strong willed and amazing he is, inside and out. I am a US Marine and I have been through a bunch of things from getting shot in combat, and I've been injured in motorcycle wrecks and and car wrecks that have left me scarred. My injuries made me want to give up on life and put me through a bout of depression that has been debilitating. Buddy If you read this I want and need you to know how amazing and strong willed you are. Everyone can learn so many things about life and happiness from this guy. Please stay strong. You need to try some public motivational speaking to show people your strength and give people the hope that they lost in life from things like this.
Salute to both of you 💪🙏
It is July 30th well 31st now and I am on internet because i want to stop thinking. I am a burn survivor too and i actually think i have met Johnny but I could be wrong. The thing is your comment has me bawling. I was burned when I was e (I dont remember) and then when I was 32. I also had other things happen to me and now someone I thought was a friend I found out victimized me. He exploited me for food and money and I finally got the courage to speak to some people about him ...a friend and his dad...though he doesnt know this...yet and I want to tell him I know he has conned people for years but I forgive him. But I am terrified...and I am never terrified. And I want to push forward because I feel eaten from the inside out. So your comment gives me hope
Cody Hendricks I hope you take ur own advice Cody! It's sounds like you've been to hell & back yourself! I'm sorry for wot you've been through. We hav never met or spoke to,yet i can 'feel' you. (Don't worry,I'm not a crank,i swear!). I hav a unique ability to be able to read people & as soon as i read ur post,felt a strong need to tell u that u are amazing inside & out & I hope that you yourself also know just how strong you are. You've been thru so many dark places in this short life we have - I truly hope ur finally finding some light! You are STRONG & you are LOVED!
"Confidence is a habit, not a personality trait." is honestly such an important thing to remember. I'm always so envious of people who come across as confident but I must remember that they have worked on their confidence just as I am working on mine.
Confidence and self-love is beautiful and it warms my heart when people who have suffered and could have given up, but did not, preach and live with and by. They persevere and stay strong and continue to live a life that's worth while and I truly admire that.
Wow he is a Strong young man.
And he reached something that we all want. Confidence and self love. So proud of him.
You have a purpose in this 🌎.
Michael Chapman no chill.
When he said “why didn’t I just die in the fire” I’m glad you didn’t and bless your soul man. 🙏🙏
There’s not many people you can look at and think: this person speaks nothing but the truth. This guy is one of them.
We think that we have so many problems in our life....God has not given the things we deaseves but I must say you inspires so many people to think twice to say that I'm the unblessed one.
Tbh his sense of style is perfect 💛 what an amazing human being, you don't need to loo a certain way to be a lovely person.
ok, but can we talk about his splits tho?
absolute dope i say.
He don’t got balls that’s why.
@@ferniethefiend i-
Mendoza your a douchebag and a 100% idiot
Creator Of fifa no u
He made it because his mission here on earth isn’t complete ! Godbless my dear
Charon read the quran once. :) all your questions will be answered
Charon sometimes, it doesnot hurt to waste a little bit of time, pretty Human :)
this just reminds me on how destructive fire can be. destroying an entire landscape in a second, devouring a small child's chance at looking "normal" it's terrifying. johnny is much braver and more resilient than i ever could be.
He is an inspiration for so many reasons. His spunk, personality and his looks make him special. We are all special, just in different ways.👍🙂
I'm so confused. This happened when he was a 4 yrs old. Then why does it say 18 year old Johnny was playing with a candle? It also said the woman was Johnny sister but she seems more like his mother.
I had to watch that part again, it was definitely grammatically unclear. He's 18 now, he was burned when he was 4.
His sister is waaaaay older than him
@@ashknoecklein I'm so curious what the real story is now. And how the accident occurred. To me it seems like if a dog knocked over a candle you would be able to get out. So confusing
I think the dog knoked it over
I went to camp with him. It’s his sister she was a counselor
Such an amazing young boy. I cried watching this for many reaaons. I've always thought i was ugly and not good enough and then i see this boys story. This makes me want to appritiate life because i don't. This young man is so brave so courageous and he is just such an inspiration to all of us. He's a beautiful human being inside and out and for anyone who says otherwise should be ashamed of themselves. God bless this young man and his family. I love his positive attitude towards life. I would love to be friends with him. What a story, it really touched my heart. You truly are a survivor😀
Nice words but you're just being PC. The outside is what it is and he must suffer for that a lot. All the nice words ain't gonna change that. You wouldn't date him and make a family with him. be honest. You'd be friends with him... of course, of course. And so all the others on here saying all those "nice" words.
The dog stayed in his arms in the fire the whole time and died during it. No person should have to endure that, and he did at 4. I cannot even imagine.
"I've always wanted to have ears!" *sobbing in the distance*
The things most take for granted, right?
how can he hear?
My soon to be husbands brother was
severely burned as well and lost both of his legs in the accident.. he’s able to smile & laugh I think it’s amazing how loving his family is. He looks similar to him. My heart grows every time I hear him laugh or smile, he’s so strong. People like this motivate me. Bless.

"You was a tender little boy"
BRUH
Madame Jelly hahaha
Literally
Yeah that was fucked up
He is a more better human than all the superficial fake people.
You are an inspiration to everyone only the strongest of us could go through what you did and still be the a kind positive person my upmost respect goes out to you .
The fact that he can talk regularly and can acctually type on the computer without fingers makes me extremely impressed.
He’s not a monster, he’s just different in his own way.
I was proud at him for surviving that fire!
He shouldn’t be bullied, those bullies should’ve see how much pain Johnny has suffered from when he was in that fire, and all of that bullying! He has more body confidence than me! ❤️☺️
He seems like a really fun person. I'm always touched by stories of overcoming. I have "survive & conquer" tattooed on my arm, and people like Johnny truly inspire me, and remind me of the truth of that phrase. Means a lot to me. I'm so happy for anyone who can accomplish not only surviving, but conquering, whatever life throws at them.
Poor baby 💔 I give him sooo much credit for living his life to the fullest even after all the problems he's had and the bullying.....much love my friend 💜💚💜💚
this made me tear up. You are such a beautiful human being. May God bless you. :)
"Confidence is a habit not a personality trait" - I love that
My younger sister is four right now. It's just so difficult for me to think of someone so young being put through such pain as to be burnt like that. You're so strong, I look up to that.
I have been badly burned by boiling soup on my legs, and it was the worst pain of my life by far. I can’t even comprehend what he had to go through. Best wishes to him and his family
This guy has a wonderful soul.
I’ve followed him on Instagram for a while and had no idea they did a documentary on him, absolutely fantastic being able to watch his story here. He is just so brave and so admirable to watch! Love you loads Jadiant!! Xx.
Love your confidence and attitude Johnny, stay strong, you're an inspiration to others.
God bless this young man. I will NEVER complain about issues in my life again. I wish I could hug him and thank him for helping me realize how selfish so many of us are, not even batting an eye on those who have been thru hell 1000 worse and not only survived, but THRIVED.
this man is a legend he is so confident he's awesome keep going man
Man no homo but I love you. You're such a positive human. I wish you all the best man
He looks amazing. He’s fashionable and super sweet. His smile is sooo nice. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I thoght confidence was a character trait. Admire people that can work with them selves to get that mindset.
He has the most precious smile I've ever seen! Thank you for surviving and inspiring millions of people!
You are beautiful on the outside and inside. Never be ashamed of the way you look because there are always people looking out for you. You are also so brave and courageous!
I'm genuinely in love. He is so interesting and has such a good attitude. Definitely someone you dont find everyday
I love how strong and confident he is 🥺♥️💪🏾💪🏾
I really want to be his friends
Alif Lathiif me too😀
Me too.
Me to
me too he is soooooo dreamy
He's amazing! Appearances really don't matter at the end of the day, only the person you are. We all will get old and saggy, its material it won't last. I'm happy he's finding himself. sending love
Just watched this documentary. Brought tears to my eyes seeing the strength & courage John has shown in his life already. John I hope you know how much of a kind & beautiful soul you have. I wish you all the best for the future and your work in helping others through their own battles. Love & blessings to you and your family 🙏💖
I dont care what anyone thinks hes actually really freakin cute !
Lol
That's not actually true but I love your positivity!
For real as cute as one of those Derp memes
@@Psycho_Logical_631 yeah ahaha right... Not hating tho... Just an harsh constatation based on facts ☝️😳
@@dariocardajoli6831 no hate just keeping it 💯
Burn thriver 👏🏼👏🏼 I love it!! You Go Johnny! Your confidence is immaculate and very attractive. And you have an awesome style too!!.. bonus points! 😉 #crushing 😍♥️😊
I love his voice, and honestly he seems like a person I would love to have near
Johnny, you absolutely got it right. We are all scarred. I am shredded wheat inside. You have just lifted my spirit to a place I didn't know was out there. Thank you honey, and God bless you and your family🤗💛
That’s incredible! Not only just his drive to be happy, but how tough the human body is. It’s amazing he can be so functional with the amounts of burns he has.
You are in no way ugly Jonny. You are amazing! God bless you !
Woow he is so amazing, I’m actually crying, he is so fun and confident, I hope I can have his character and be confident about myself, I wish we could be friends
Super heroes should be based off a fella like you bro and you should never ever feel like a monster. God bless ya brother.
You are part of what makes this planet more bearable..I wish you all the happiness and more...rock on young man...respect.
aw he’s not a monster he’s an inspiration and i think your very special it would be amazing if he could see this message he deserves everything in life he shouldn’t care what other people think he’s amazing i love you Johnny ❤️❤️
What a charming young man! He's so sweet, & strong! Also, handsome, with excellent fashion sense!
This makes me so sad. But thankful.
Talking about a real rolemodel!
If he isn't an example of how great humans can be than we should reconsider what it means to be great!
What an engaging fun personality. I love his enthusiasm and passion for life. After listening to his zest for life you quickly don’t notice the burns. I hope he can achieve all his dreams with that wonderful spirit.
You know what i find inspiring that he is not afraid of fire because i have heard that a lot of people who suffered burns have fire phobia....he is very brave and courageous
Wow amazing hoiw the ears help him out. Big respect for his confidence
Jadiant.. Your story is really inspiring! I am proud that your feeling happy and confident about yourself! I hope your journey about your life keeps going! Keep it up man!
Ohh no, life is precious dear, I'm glad you appreciated it.❤God bless you...
Hej John, if u read this:
a person is not defined by his/her look but by his/her personality, even thought society doesnt understand that. and your personality seems wonderful as far i can tell from this few minutes. wish u all the best in life
You've changed my life in 5 minutes thank you.
And im here feeling very insecure for being 4 ft 8 meanwhile there's this guy who survived 95% burns and is very confident
I dont have problem with height, but problen with acne
I am so glad he was able to find happiness again✨💕
This is amazing. What an inspiration.
You are such an inspiration , this video first made me cry because of sadness for how you felt as a young teen but by the end they turned to tears of happiness for you because you are an amazing person.
“Confidence is a habit, not a personality trait.” ...life changing
Ok if I went to his school hands down I will be his best friend. He’s funny, sweet, kind,.
John after seeing who you are and how outgoing you are I forget about your appearance.
God bless him and everything this make me reliase not to judge and to love people no matter how they look pls share this 🙏❤️❤️❤️
His eyes, his mind, his style, his dreams. Him its so different (in a positive way). Him gonna be the model him want to be the times that we're living him gonna get the opportunity
Nearly bursting into tears seen what John went through. I think he so brave and amazing i hope nothing knocks him down
Not trying to be rude, just very curious as to how you/he can hear? I didn't see any openings for ear canals
You can actually hear if your ears get burned. I know a group of burn survivors without ears...most hear fine...some have a few issues
I couldn't of had imagine what it was like for his parents when he was fighting for his life after that fire, I'm only 15 years old I never experienced this but I can seriously tell how terrified his mother was and to see him suffer even until now, but no matter what the reason is he survived for a reason and I'm sure that reason is positive and I hope for lots of blessings to come to your way
Couldn't have!
He is nothing bad. He is not ugly,he is beautiful. He is sweet! He looks caring.
Well beautiful is kinda far fetched don't you think
@Greg Bork the outside doesn't matter all that matters is on the inside and u need to leave this video if ur gonna be a dick about a burnt victim 😤
I really want to say something but I don’t know what this video was so inspiring I am just speechless
I am so sorry to see what happened to you. I admire your strength and confidence, bravery and courage. I am sure you are helping people with your positive attitude. Good luck for your future x
He seems like a really nice guy 👍🏻 I would love to be his friend ❤️🤞🏻
I wonder how he would look without the burns
nevaeh peanut We cant lie nobody wants to look like that. everybody wants a normal face. prettier than now
@Golden Candy beautiful not buetifull
Petter Nilsen what’s the point of your comment? Do you feel so bad about yourself that you have to bring strong people down? Imagine going through all of that. He is a strong guy and you are really weak if you feel the need to call someone who went through hell ugly.
Very handsome. Btw he's still handsome.
This is a stupid comment.
I think he's very attractive ♥️
That's a pity comment, shame on you
@@arthurmartins9113 I’m my opinion, it isn’t. Being attractive doesn’t always mean in terms of looks.
Why are y’all so patronizing 😭
@@IntrepidFC what you mean he could be a total dick. Can't tell by a few minute video. It is a pity comment and you know it
Okay but his vibe?? I love it and when he busted out those splits I was completely shook
You are amazing. A true warrior. Thank you for sharing.
Keep going dude!! I was born with psoriasis and the confidence thing is true. As I started to experiment with clothing when I grew up, I found that I noticed it less and although people still acted the same towards it, I was happy for wearing what I want to.
I gave you that
Must be why I hail Satan now instead
Nah bro it's just me out here
So much strength!! I dont think id be able to cope or even be as happy as him if it were me. So sad
U might wanna change your profile pic ! :/
5:16 That little booty shake tho 😂 He's too precious, I stg ❤
Thank you so much John for sharing your story, your life with us! You have inspired all of us
You are a wonderful person. Beautiful soul and spirit. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you.
