Operation Positivity – let’s get deep and meaningful for a minute..

Bullying happens everywhere, everyday & so many young people these days are resorting to suicide because of it. So many people think that no one cares and that they are all alone. but the truth is, there are SO MANY people who do care, and who do want to help.

Back in mid 2012, I decided to put together a short video that would help spread some Positive vibes out to anyone who needed it. As I run a twitter account with over 6,000 followers, I thought it would be cool to ask them to send me images of themselves holding signs with positive messages, and then put them together with my favourite song in the world, ‘We Believe’ by American Pop/Rock band Good Charlotte. This video idea came about after so many young people were resorting to suicide because of bullying. The whole idea that the hurtful words someone says to another could force that victim to want to leave this world forever hurt my heart, and made me want to do something about it. Something small, but something meaningful. That’s what this video right here is. Everyone who sent me pictures wanted to help reach out and hopefully make some people smile, make some people feel like they are worth more than any bully can tell them otherwise, and that they are cared about more than they know. This project was really fun to do, and after posting it on my twitter and tumblr sites, the feedback was really great. Some people messaged me confessing that it made them cry, others thanked me for putting it together, and others just said it made them smile. To be honest, I just wanted to make something that would make people smile and help them see that they are not alone when thing’s get tough, and I was very pleased with how this whole project turned out.
