NOT A FRAUD: JONAH MOWRY'S WHAT'S GOING ON VIDEO

Despite all the millions of support gay teen Jonah Mowry got from around the world, he was constantly inundated with some hate slurs and doubts about the authenticity of his youtube video, "What's Going On". Well, ABC News shed some light a few hours ago to end all the doubts in the world.

In my first blog about the 14 years old, the video link you see there is dated August 10, 2011 which means it has been 4 months ago... a month before young Jonah's school is about to start. The emotions, the thoughts relayed in the video... were and are real still real. Jonah felt he needed to get things off his chest that's why he made that video as he was scared to go back to school and encounter the same harassment and bullying that he went through year per year. Those years of bullying made him strong because being strong is the only choice he has left.

To end the controversy, Peggy Sue Mowry, Jonah Mowry's own mom shed some light to ABC News. The hairdresser from Forest Lake, California said, "First and foremost, I am proud of the responses we've gotten from people. I'm disappointed that people would question whether it's true." Mrs. Mowry said her son has been "uplifted by the outpouring of support". Read ABC News for further details.


Jonah Mowry is now happy and doing just fine. He has received tons of support from famous celebrities, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton and people around the world like you and me. Let us leave the kid alone and instead, be thankful that he had enough courage to speak up his mind, heart and soul.

Unknowingly that he did something great to the world, Jonah Mowry's video did us all the favor... his courage and brave act will serve as an inspiration to the many children affected by bullying because of their early real or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.

Teen bullying as ABC News reported, has reached epidemic proportions causing several young children so much anguish that they have killed themselves. In 2010, Phoebe Prince, a 15 year old Irish immigrant was found dead in her South Hadley, Massachusett home after suffering from incessant Facebook taunts and in early 2011, Jamey Rodemeyer a 14 years old from Buffalo, N.Y., took his own life after being bullied online with gay slurs for over more than a year. 

Jonah Mowry's inspiring brave act youtube video and all the other videos by those who showed support (including an inspiring one from Jonathon Grant) which we have all seen will perhaps help end teen bullying and will help others like him out there with similar emotional distress cope up with the alarming social problem. 

Jonah Mowry taught us that suicide is not an option... being strong is.

WHAT'S GOING ON: JONAH MOWRY's CRY FOR HELP

I thank Jonah Mowry for sharing his feelings to the world via a very emotional video. Global concerns, love, prayers and support are all pouring out for him for he sent us all a very strong message.

Jonah is a teenage student suffering from emotional distress after years of homophobic bullying. Life hasn't been easy for him. This is his story...  

It moves you right? It broke my heart to see him introducing himself via index cards telling us what he went through. Jonah is alive and told us his story... gut-wrenching, leaving him into tears and most of us, as well.

His story is inspirational... reaching out to those who have suffered similar situations in life.  The index cards containing the many times he confessed of having suicide as an option unveiled a really strong message in the end...

 "I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE, BECAUSE I AM STRONGER THAN THAT. I HAVE A MILLION REASONS TO BE HERE".

I sent Jonah a message of love and support all the way from the Philippines. He taught me a whole lot of things.. even as an adult, I sometimes struggle for sanity... we all do when it comes to rough times.

Sometimes it is not easy indeed to feel like we're the only ones in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated or unsatisfied but that feeling is all but a lie. Someone is bound to find us and help make things better if we just hold on because we all need a little help sometimes to remind us it's not always gonna be bad. 

Jonah is an admirable young teenager... despite his emotional distress, he managed tell us that... we never know how strong we really are until being strong is the only choice we have in the world. 

Soundtrack on Jonah Mowry's emotional video is "Breathe Me" by Sia which is appropriate for his cry for help. Lyrics here. Thank you, Jonah!
