Hey Everyone,

I work for Al Roker Productions and I’m trying to develop a project based on MCR and a few other bands that are trying to spread a more productive message but the general media and the populace still see a negative stereotype and don’t understand the reason for such devotion toward a particular band. I, as a huge MCR fan, want to help to spread their message that if you need help, get it, because suicide is not the answer.
So here’s what I’m asking from you guys. If MCR’s message has touched your life, saved you from suicidal thoughts or attempts, and especially if it motivated you to go and help others in the same situation whether it is within the imnotokay.net community or outside of it, please send me an email with your story and background and maybe we can make this project a success. My email is danielmceleney@gmail.com so please send those stories because I feel like this could be something huge that could help push understanding towards those who don’t take the time to listen otherwise. Thanks for your time everyone and I hope to hear from you.

Hey man. It's Matt. Sorry if this post made you all happy and then sad. I was moved by what you are trying to do and decided to join as well. I'm going to do as much as i can to help. I really like the idea of the project and hope that i actually am helping and not just getting in the way. If i am message me/im me/call me. So it's a little less embarrassing for me. Maybe i can spread the word around a bit? Anything i can do to help just tell me and i'm there. Only seems right for a band mate/best friend to do. Thanks. or. Sorry. Depending on your answer.

-Matt

You're awesome bro. I just wish more people would reply or talk to me. Maybe they think that this isn't for real or whatever. To all the people reading this, I really am trying to do this project, I am talking with other bands right now as well but MCR is the main one that I'd love to work with because what they do is amazing. So please tell me your stories if you have any, or even if you know someone who does. I'm not asking to post here, just email me and maybe we can make this happen. The reason for the stories is that hopefully you would be used in the project, so maybe that is an incentive i guess. Hope the community wants to help spread this message. Thanks guys, and definitely you Matt.

Hi all, I know I guess I sound unofficial or just plain weird, but I really am attempting this. This is to try and see if I can move forward with this project, so support is what will get this project off the ground. The more support the easier it will be to get a green light. I have just starting trying to contact the specific bands, which I can't list right now because they haven't signed on obviously. Hopefully this week will bring some good news and any that I get I will pass on if I am allowed to. So please, email me, if you'd like you can just PM here. I know it sounds sketchy, but I am very sincere in what I'm doing, all I want to do is help others like MCR and their music has helped me. Thanks to anyone who helps out.

This should be in the Band section, if anywhere.
I'll move it.

well if you know anyone that has been touched by MCR's message, if it has saved their lives, changed them, or made them want to go and help others do the same let them share their stories here or email them to me if they dont want impressionable younger people to read them and get ideas. I myself am working through my own issues so I think this could be a huge way to reach many at the same time. Even if the biggest thing it has done is brought you to INO where you talk to others about your issues and listen to others thats fine. MCR helped so many to see that there are people to listen to your problems and that we're not all alone. I just want to show that to more people. So I hope this thread can take off.
