About two summers ago, I became very depressed. Not because of a certain name I was called or something stupid like that, but because I felt so alone. My depression began as soon as I started making and uploading videos to the website known as YouTube. I had to learn how to be strong again; and fast. My very first YouTube video ever produced and uploaded was a very boring and short question & answer video filmed on my brothers webcam. It consisted of me dressed like a total tool, some frequently asked questions sent to me from random people through email, and made up questions from the top of my head. I uploaded the video in hope to be noticed by a certain YouTube celebrity. Though this event never happened, I was very happy with the content of my very first YouTube video.
Overnight, the short and boring video I uploaded had a whopping twenty-seven thousand views! For me, being a thirteen year old kid, that was absolutely amazing! All my close friends and family enjoyed the video and it made me feel warm inside. Until my football coaches found the video and began spreading it around. .
I also played football at the time of my first YouTube video. I lived in a very small yet famous town well-known for its outstanding state championship records in football over the years. Once my football coaches found the video, they decided to start mocking me, making me do extra running, and showing the video to each and every one of their classes. There was 13 coaches total. You can only imagine the amount of people in my school saw the video after that unreasonable event began. Everything began to go downhill. I lost friends left and right, no one would talk to me, and it finally got to the point where I sat alone at the lunch table. On the weekends, I was completely alone. My brother would leave to see his girlfriend, my parents would go to work and no one wanted to be associated with "The Kid That Makes YouTube Videos.
