It's funny, I was thinking just before I read your comment that if Obama saw this video, Im sure he would see Elijah's potential and have some suggestions for him on how to move forward with his purpose. I wish that for Elijah. He certainly is uniquely gifted to do this work.

[@deeaguilar2183]

Listening to this young boy brings utter joy to my heart! I was an abused child, half beaten to death I was found under a tree on a golf course. I became a foster child, was very lucky to have the love of my foster parents. They adopted 19 of us, and raised over 2000 of us in their 70 years of fostering. I became a foster parent as an adult and fostered many. I am now disabled and unable to foster, I so miss fostering it was my life's greatest joy.. If you have the room in your heart, and home please foster, and/or adopt children. Most children just need to be loved, and to have what every child deserves. God Bless this young man, we all need to listen and help the children of our Earth.

honestly hearing him speak like that inspires me to open up about my abuse. i'm only 15 years old and i have been abused 3 times and at that point i didn't want to live anymore and just knowing that Elijah can speak like that and amplify people's voices that means maybe i can to

[@sharonwilliams249]

I hear hope in your reply dear one and hope makes way for courage. Be of good courage.

[@asaabrahamagulnik574]

I am sorry that you have been abused. However, I am glad you feel you are able to open up and inspire others to do the same.

[@ShadowSoul92]

@xPhoenix17 The fact that you mentioned it in a comment, is to open up, although, many of us are not prepared to be able to help a victim of abuse, as they are not professionally qualified, the only thing I can tell you is that you don't have to be ashamed of it, don't it's your fault. People who have abused you should feel guilty and ashamed. You are not to blame. Luckily I have never been physically or sexually abused, but at 15 I too was on the verge of not wanting to live anymore, I was bullied at school. I've been through that hell, I've walked through it, and I still mentally bear the marks of it... I'm often depressed, but not to the point I was when I was a teenager... Be strong and you will get through this moment. Find someone you can trust, an adult who knows what he's doing, a psychologist, a doctor, a policeman, but only when you're ready to talk about what happened to you... with their help you will overcome your trauma, even if it will be a difficult job, perhaps the most difficult of all.
