Greetings earthlings, 

Ever heard of Jenna Marbles? Jenna is the most watched female youtuber on earth with nearly 5 million subscribers and over 870 million views. To many Jenna is a hilarious entertainer, nothing more. What people tend to forget about famous people is that they are infact, PEOPLE. People feel pain. It is evident from Jenna's latest video  that she is feeling a lot of pain at the moment. She doesn't tell us what the cause of this pain is but because she didn't have the capacity to make a funny video we can assume its bad. Having watched her boyfriend Max's latest video my guess is that someone close to them has died as a result of suicide.

Max has put his message across very effectively: Take Moments. 

'Take a moment and think about all the blessings you have and all you can appreciate about your life. Think about the people you love and who love you. Think about the joys and beauty you're exposed to every day. Let go of your worries/sadness/jealousy/anxieties/insecurities for a moment and let them be replaced with happiness. You deserve happiness.'  

I am so glad Max has made this video.Obviously not because of his reasons to make it but because of the positive effect i believe it will have, especially on young men.

The rate of suicide is significantly higher in young men than woman. I believe this is partly because from a young age, boys are taught to be 'tough'.  It is often drilled into them from a young age that being emotional is what girls do, crying is what girls do, asking for help is what girls do. To be honest this sickens me. Judging by the suicide rates amongst them young men need to ask for help to. Max is very manly looking, he's a 'cool' guy. I'm hoping that young men will respond to his advice because of this.

Male or female,I'd advise you watch Max's video if you are reading this, even if you feel great today. In my eyes, there's no such thing as too much positivity. Eventually we will all die. Morbid as it sounds, its the truth. That's why i believe we need to make the most of every second we have on this earth. I believe the best way to do this, is to be happy. I know no one can be happy all the time, but when you do feel down, experience the pain,except it, and keep going. If the pain doesn't go away, tell someone.
