      Anusha Khan
      My beautiful sister let me tell you my story
      I'm an intellectual black female (33 years old) & have been bullied because I wasn't the "it girl " & I'm also a nerd (think Star Wars meets Star Trek with ADHD ) & sometimes don't feel like I'm "worthy" because of society says I have to act like something I'm not ( the pretty chick on a magazine instead of who I am which is the tomboy who'd rather watch American football( the distant cousin of rugby ) than go to the mall ) but these words inspire me to NOT have to change who I am because society can't get me
      Know that ur just as beautiful because you are alive
      Blessing my beautiful anusha

      None. I promise you this video did little to anything. These people all have their sob stories and here is a place to talk about it. But the main messege of the video is pretty pathetic and overall just wrong. Not everyone is beautiful. Not everyone is worth dying for. Idek why hes talking to women specifically. You cant control that. Youre just born with it right? Well if thats the case then why cant he celebrate men? Or how about white men? Maybe dont celebrate arbitrarily assigned genetics. Because their is nothing to be shameful or proud of. You want equality yet constantly praise a specific kind of victim and shame a very specific kind of supposed oppressor. All on the basis of the card you were dealt at birth. Not very equal.

    I was grew up from the family who wants son not daughter
    My mom call me slut
    My dad passed away
    My grandpa said no one will hire me because I m dumb
    My grandmother said I m trash
    No one believed in me
    I was in suicidal mood since I was 11.
    Cut myself to death at 13 but I survived.
    But at 15 I noticed myself that all I have is me the whole time
    I looked at the mirror the only person who still with me is me
    The only person who can create the love I needed it
    Now I got into Tokyo university
    Got internship at J.P. Morgan .
    Now I got ppl who appreciate me
    For me family never come from blood .

      Im in that now, every once in a while...someone is also out there feeling the same way. Sometimes we need to hear and remind ourselves we are worth it. Remind ourselves that besides god, WE got ourselves and love ourselves first before anyone else. We are stronger than we give ourselves credit for. Getting up everyday and a positive attitude takes alot of strength but we do it because we are strong and we keep taking that next step toward a better day. Never forget how wonderful and beautiful inside and out you are because at the end of the day..we got ourselves. 💪😎💯

      @lizzkl89 5 лет назад +6

      @hussain ali yes it's true,every self-loving ego arrogant power seeking person are the enemy of Allah/God/The Creator of all. What God wants us to be is to share love.
      But we are no longer slaves, we are children of God, we are God's best friend, that's why we're on the mission to spread love n joy from the Kingdom of God.
      Come and learn how Jesus lived, He shows us how to live the purpose why God made humans.
      "I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me."

      I agree. I do not respect men who are only nice to girls they think are 'hot' physically. Its the sad truth in our society, but there will always be a genuinely nice guy out there, and he usually will treat girls, regardless of their looks with respect. It's really sad that the douchebags don't understand that a woman is worth so much more than her appearance. But who needs them? God loves us regardless of our looks, grades, money, etc. 😊

      World War Now Beauty standards are something that came from the people on earth that is shaped by a society. As a society changes, so do the beauty standars. People may think someone is ugly, when they are actually really beautiful. To God, everyone is beautiful. In looks and in personality. What we call beauty, is only a facade. Everyone is beautiful. Some of us just choose not to see it.

      Abortions , mass divorce , destruction of marriage and family is your masterpiece

I see a therapist but I don't feel ike it's doing anything. I keep thinking that if I was skinnier, prettier, my life would be better. So please, could you tell me when you realized that you got out of depression? Or what you think helped you to get out of it? I'm just a random teen who needs a bit of hope. Have a good day!

    • @sabastiandunn3880
      @sabastiandunn3880 8 лет назад

      what? god isn't real? he has never been observed and you don't have the mental capability to argue with me because you can only think within the bible also I never said we don't have brains. because we do. and that's why we do have free will. I'm not a pig who follows a story book.

    • @maxgriffin9916
      @maxgriffin9916 8 лет назад +6

      Why are you all arguing on my comment? All I said was thank you, and that God has given him an amazing gift. A personal comment really.
      Here is what I believe: I believe that Jesus called us to love people unconditionally. Christianity is not about proving others wrong, but about proving others are loved. That's why I am trying my best to not lash out on you, because since I'm a sinner I know I would. But you know what's the best part? I'm a sinner SAVED by grace through the lord Jesus Christ and it is the best thing that's ever happened to me. You call me ignorant and I can see why- I mean who believes in something that no one can see? It's crazy!
      But I have faith, and that's enough for me. And really, the literal definition of the word "faith" is believing without evidence. But Christian belief has never been about having no evidence: the gospels were written to provide evidence, as the beginning of John's gospel says, "These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name." But believing without evidence is a common notion of "faith" at present so I expect you to think what you do, really before I be came a Christian I thought the same thing. So, when Christians talk about faith in Christ, they (meaning other people) think there is not evidence, but John's gospel shows that Christianity is an evidence-based faith.
      Pretty cool, right? Well, at least I think so!
      I can't change what you believe. But I sure as heck will pray and ask God to change your heart because he's the one who can. So wrapping this text up I will end it here with a simple I'll pray for you and God be with ya.

I don't cling to science I cling go observation and reason there is not to be observed and no reason within the bible. it simply does not follow the laws and ideas that life follows. it does not make sense and the only reason you believe it is because it was put in front of you. have you thought about that. if you were raised in a Muslim house surrounded by other muslim people 95% of the time you'd grow up believing in Islam because its what you are told to believe. it is you who is clinging to ideas

    Thank you so much for this video. Personally I know as a 16 year old girl, I always compare myself to others and see if I "fit" into societies view of women or "cool". You really touched my heart and broke me into tears. Your messages are so powerful and captivating, yet so real and pure. Thank you for helping me realize my true potential and all that life has to offer and God has planned for me. This video makes me feel like a can do anything through God even when others say its impossible, I'm not good enough, or just when I need the encouragement. Thank you so much!

    I don't know if you will ever see this message but it is important for you to hear. My daughter who is 15 years old and has been a cutter for the past two years as well as tried to commit suicide two or three times has been listening to this video on and off since it's creation. Tonight, as I was talking with her after she was released from the hospital three weeks ago, she proceeded to quote your video verbatim. Word for Word. The words that she stated pierced me. Not only because it made me think of this video but because it made me realize that videos such as this transforms our lives. Please, do not stop what you are doing. Please, continue to speak the words that God gives you. It will mean life or death to those who hear it. This was proven by my daughter who quoted this video to fellow cutters in her group therapy. They too were deeply touched and the Holy Spirit moved upon them to touch their hearts and their spirits. It is this very video that has made me realize how modern media affects our children. God bless you and keep you. You are loved. So very loved. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

      That is such a touching story! People that are dealing with trials such these need to know that God loves them no matter what they do. We will sin. It’s just a part of life. Only one person was perfect and “without fault”- Jesus Christ. And He suffered our many afflictions so that He could help us. To complete the Atonement, He then gave His life for us in a cross in Calvary after being mercilessly mocked and scorned by those who wanted His power.I testify that the Holy Ghost will help us through our many trials. That doesn’t mean if we are righteous, that we won’t face challenges. It just means we won’t face them alone.

    At least ten years ago I saw this video, and it stuck with me ever since… at least 10 years later I still come here to watch it again… maybe that because some of us (some women) tend to forget our value, and this is the most refreshing encouragement to come back to our senses, remembering why was it that we were so valuable… the answer of course being God’s inexplicably huge love for us ❤️

      thank you for your kind words. honestly the only reason I have no affiliations with a religion is because many of the elders in the communities i have met so far have offered no hope only judgement. This channel seems to bring many of the good to the surface. I will try to implement some self pride and keep looking for a community that shows love first and no judgement. thank you

    This video really touched me because growing up I had no confidence and felt worthless and unloveable. And it brought me back, I couldn't stop crying after I watch this! Thank you for making such a beautiful and powerful video! I wanted to share my story so here it is:) God bless!
    I will never forget the first moment I experienced Jesus Christ in a real and personal way. At the time, I was four years old and barely able to sit still during church services. On this day, our teachers gathered us into a circle and told us, “Today you can accept Jesus Christ into your heart” I closed my eyes, folded my hands and I felt my heart beat with passion. I felt the love of no other, that my face couldn’t help but glow in excitement. Accepting Jesus Christ into my heart felt like it was the beginning of an unbelievable journey. That day was the first day that I asked Jesus to be apart of my life.
    I grew up in a practicing Christian family environment with my older brother Jeff and my parents Marilyn and Greg. My family would attend church every Sunday, including holidays. Our church choir would light up the stage with their performance with every type of instrument and the most talented vocalists. The music was one of my favorite parts of attending church because it was my own way of communicating with my savior. Also, music was my way of expressing my love and loyalty to him. Our church was always filled with such passion that you couldn’t walk out of the building with out feeling pure love for Jesus Christ.
    However, by the time I reached my teens I started to lose touch with my faith. Even though my religion meant the world to me, I was never prepared for the judgmental world ahead of me. I even wonder how I began as a happy child that always smiled and laughed and then have that happiness ripped out of my hands like it never happened. In the seventh grade I was bullied so badly that I development an eating disorder called Anorexia. People would constantly call me hurtful names that I became obsessed with trying to fit their standards. I was trapped so deeply in this routine that I finally broke down to the point were I became severely depressed. I lost every hope of believing that I was more than a number on a scale.
    While depressed I struggled with my relationship with God because I blamed him for my own mistakes. Society’s twisted image of beauty had affected me so badly, that I didn’t think of myself worthy enough unless I skipped a few meals here and there. Also the pressures to be perfect really pulled me away from reality to the point that I lost my enjoyment in life, and most importantly confidence in myself. I had fallen so far off God’s path that there were days that I thought I didn’t deserve his forgiveness. However the truth was that I needed to believe in myself just like Christ had always believed in me. I prayed every night for God to show me a way out. And one-day God had answered my prayers; God had given me the courage I needed to fight for my life. Jesus made me realize that I had the strength all along. Even though I found the courage to change my life, it was never easy. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do, but I repeatedly told myself “it’s either now or never”.
    I believe relationships are never perfect therefore my relationship with God has had its ups and downs but God was always there for me. Having Depression or an eating disorder can seem like an embarrassment to most people but I see it as my strength. It’s not something I’m ashamed of because without it I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I’m no longer a prisoner in my life because I’m not only changed on the inside but as a Christian I’m changed for the better. Even though it’s apart of me now and in some ways always has been, my past has not destroyed me, nor does it define me. My past has only strengthened the person I’ve become. God has been my guardian angel through all these difficult battles I’ve faced. Therefore, I now live by the verse “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13)
