I posted this one other place in the forum, but it seems particularly relevant here. From a free email newsletter I get:
If You’re Contemplating Suicide, This is for You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL40Zbn-dxE With nothing but words
and a webcam, a YouTuber launched an incredibly powerful anti-suicide message last summer. Angel Haze is a gifted rapper
and this piece is moving, eloquent, and relatable. Her humble homemade social video reaches out to the lonely, the
disenfranchaised, and the depressed, in an unforgettable way that doesn’t need expensive video production or tricks. With
over 100,000 views this video was viral for a while – let’s reignite that spark. Keep sharing. This is a video that really helps
people. Warning: coarse language. (00:04:12)
