Honestly this man has the purest soul in the world the fact that he actually cares about everyone is mind blowing because of the society that we live in
You know the reason why? It's because he knows that there is a higher love-one from God who *died* for everyone in the world, even when they hurt him and persecuted him, he still sacrificed it all for us. that's why Noah shows his love for everyone because he knows that because of Jesus, and what he did on the cross, he can try his best (as all Christians try to do) to love everyone around us, because that's what Jesus' love is like for me and you. :)
Noah, I watch and re watch your videos. I am going to watch them as many times as I need to, until I believe it. I'm only 16 and already feel like my hearts in a billion pieces. 4 relationships that meant nothing in the end, that caused me to leave marks that will never go away on my skin. I finally realized that I am worth so much more than that. I have a list in my phone of all of my exes along with the mistakes I made with them, I look at it every night and wish I could undo it all, because you're right you shouldn't be dating someone in high school just to fit in, you shouldn't be doing things with random guys because you want to feel like every other girl your age. the things I did are things that can never be taken back, and are now things I highly regret and wish I had seen these videos two three years ago before all of those mistakes were made. I know I cant turn back the clock and not do what I did. but from here on out, because of you I will not make those mistakes again, I will not date anyone unless I can see myself with them long term. Because of your videos I now everyday look in the mirror and tell myself that I am beautiful and that I am worth waiting for. I don't now how long it will take for me to believe it, but I'm back on a pretty good road and I cant thank you enough for that. Please keep doing what you're doing, you are a true inspiration. ~Rachel
+Rachel C Thanks so much for your kind words, thrilled these messages hit home. Don't ever forget the truths taken from these talks, you are valuable, you are beautiful, you are worth waiting for. God bless
u know how schools say ur a chewed up piece of gum and every time you have a relationship you get chewed THIS IS WRONG you are not a body count number obviously you don’t need a million relationships but you don’t have to wait for just one person and “save urself” for them u can do that if u want but you don’t have to force yourself to
it's amazing because two hours ago I prayed for the strength to say no to guy after what happened today and the video was in my recomendations....I'm crying of so much joy!
Freshman next year, and this 8th grade year has been a heap of drama, memories, and mistakes. I've watched all my friends start throwing those middle school parties, and not inviting me because I'm too "prude", "innocent" "annoying" etc. I'm now watching the 7th graders enter this pathway. All my friends have lost their first kisses, been having serious relationships, and I've been sitting on the bench. If anyone needs the talk you have shared with me and thousands of others, its all those students in my grade, at my school, and my friends. Thanks for telling me to not give in, and even if I do feel left out now, at least I know that I won't regret my decisions later in life.
Listening to ur voice helps me. I'm 13 years old turning 14. I love to write and sing. I'm too scared to come out of my comfort zone and show my voice because I feel like people will make fun of me. I have two brothers but they don't know me. I feel ugly and worthless. I feels so alone but by watching ur videos everyday helps because ur someone that cares and that means so much to me and to a bunch do other people I love u so much -Ali
Bri Ali I think you are an amazing people. If your brothers don't want to get to know you they are the ones that are missing out. You are gifted to be able to write and sing. I think you should come out of your comfort zone and show the world you talent. I'm sure you have a beautiful voice. And if everyone laughs at you for your incredible talent I will be the one person not laughing.
I just now discovered the what every 8th grade girl needs to hear video & I just want to say thank you. I'm only in 7th, but I have "dated" so many boys just to feel beautiful because I couldn't tell myself. Since I watched that video though it just hit me that I am worth so much more and I can wait to marry the man of my dreams. You changed my life and my friend's lives so thank you for that.
I'm going into freshman year into high school and your video reminded me why I have never dated. I put your videos link on my Instagram and I hope others watch it :)
I'm definitely going to. I've heard your talk multiple times! I love it. I've also been to a few Young life camps with you! You're super awesome and I think what you're doing is incredible. :)
Noah, You have NO idea how much I needed to hear this today. I'm a sophomore in high school and recently the pressure of dating, drinking, and other things have been weighing on me because my old friends are starting to conform. I had slowly begun to think that maybe I was the problem, I was too much of a goody goody or a prude. The guys in my class have said that I'm too standoff-ish and prudish. I tried so hard not to care but it did really hurt. I sadly considered backing down from my moral code to start dating and putting myself out there. But now I know that I'm not the one who is wrong. This message has really given me the strength to remain how I am and stay strong in my morals. I can't wait to find my husband and share with him my complete self. You have just saved me from so many mistakes, and I can't thank you enough. I hope this gives you some inspiration like your message did me. God Bless
Noah, watched the 8th grade girl video..... I busted into tears! No one has ever told me I am beautiful. That speech really hit hone! I am seeing things change. I am going to be a wife one day and my husband will love me which means that i don't need all these boys that I wont ever see again after high school to tell me that i am! That message has changed my life which sounds extreme but its true! Thank you so much! we really need more people like you and your wife! Thanks.
I rewatch and rewatch these videos and I share them and every girl and every boy thanks me and says that you helped them. You told them to love themselves because of what you said. Every 8th and 7th grader at Freeburg Middle school thanks you.
Just watched your video about what every 8th grade girl needs to hear. Absolutely amazing. I am a senior in high school, about to transition into college and I have never dated or kissed a boy. I began praying for my future husband when I was in 8th grade and although I do not know his name or face, I continue to persevere for him and for God. Thank you for making this video.
I'm a 7th grade girl right now and your video truly did inspire me. The responses in this video were something I could relate to. Many girls and guys have been impacted by your videos. You truly are an inspiration. Thank you :)
I'm an 8th grade girl right now. I've comment on your video what every 8th grade girl need to know before. That video truly inspired me and I can wait for What everything girl needs to hear! Thank you Noah Couser.
That video was truly inspirational. I made paper hearts and I'm planing to give them to my friends, I made one for myself and I'm gonna put it on the back of my door, so every day and night, every time I'm in my room I see it to remind myself my heart needs to stay like that. I'm truly excited for the next video. I share these videos with my friends and on social media to tell girls they're pretty. Your video helped me realize that every mirror I look into is broken and what I truly am is beautiful and I don't need a man to tell me. I wish I had a younger sister to share this with but I share it with my friends and that's enough for me. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and girls everywhere❤️
Noah, I am 13 years old going on 14, and I will be starting high school in the fall. As pop culture grows and grows more peer presser to be like the latest models just increases. Being a curvy girl I get quite a bit of attention, and not for the right reasons. Your video really helped and inspired me to not let people pressure me into becoming a person I don't want to be. When I get older I hope to share this empowering message not only with my friends, but with all my peers. Thank You for inspiring me to be the best version of me I can be. You also gave me the idea to create a painting that said " I am, confident beautiful. strong, etc." So I thank YOU!
While growing up, I was a very insecure child and was always hiding behind my mom or my friend. There was always something different about me from the moment I was born. I never follow the crowd/society. Ever since 9th Grade (last year) I've started much more to allow myself to be me. So while everyone was out partying and dating(yes at 14 they were and still are doing these things) I would do my own thing and study/read. Up until now, I still haven't found anybody who is like me at my school. I am now finishing 10th Grade and watching your video a couple moths ago was so reassuring that other people though like me and my family. Especially a guy!! Ever since then, when ever I feel down and need a little motivation I watch your video and instantly I feel much better. You're a really big inspiration! Don't stop what you're doing because wether you know it or not you are helping so many young girls out there! Thank you SO much!
Even though I found this video when it was too late to give my futur husband my whole heart I found it at the perfect time in my life. Thank you so much for making me realise my worth and for helping me to stop ripping my heart up.
It has changed my life!! I would like to thank you for the positive message. I have never had a father before, that told me that I was beautiful and worth it. My friend showed me the video and I thank her everyday. I hope to make a difference in the world like you have. Thanks again, cameron sanders
On Freshmen orientation day at my high school we got a similar talk from Brad Henning - you should check out his website- and I though it was so great that when my sister started High School at the beginning of my senior year, I went again.These types of talks are amazing to me, just the fact that someone can care so much about so any people is mind blowing.I watched this video and your 8th grade boy and girl videos now as a college senior and thought 'this type of stuff is so great, I'm going to share it on facebook'so I did. I printed out the commitment card and am glad to say I never made a decision I regret in high school or middle school.Thank you for reaffirming this message so well
you may not see this but that video changed me in so many ways... thank you. i made a list, of the qualities i will need in order to live happily, care for myself and my future husband, and hopefully daughter whom i will show this video. i am beginning a card and it will help me. i just started high school and am so glad i heard this before i got into things and grew up to fast.
I first watched that video when I was a 7th grade girl. I'm now a freshman in highschool and as I still struggle with the dating scene I am learning to appreciate myself and my beauty. I have learned not to let myself be pressured into sexual actions by the guys I date. I am proud to say that I have saved myself for my husband and I plan to continue doing so. I have learned not to put so much of my self worth into what others think of me. I have learned not to let failed relationships tear me down especially when I had no say in the adrupt end of one. Thank you for showing me that I don't have to be loved by others to love myself. I hope to one day show my son or daughter your videos. And I hope he or she turns out to have half the heart that you do!
You are an amazing person, this has helped me soooo much! All other videos are sooo bland. They all talk about "how much u should eat" "what u should and shouldn't wear" and I think this my body and u can't tell me what I look "good" in and that makes me think then why do I care what people at school think.........The thing is I shouldn't care at all. Being popular is not cool I've looked at the "popular kids" social media and it's so concerning the things they comment are just so hurtful after seeing their comments I have vowed to try and never say a means word to/or about people and if I do to write it down in my diary because then I can see I see all the hurtful insulting shaming words that have come out of my mouth. And it reminds me to stop and think how will this affect someone's life how will calling them fat make them feel inside, we all start as blank piece of paper and when something mean or hurtful is said to us are piece of paper then gets a little bit of black on it but than when something nice is said to us are piece of paper gets whiter and I personally would never what to blacken anyone's piece of paper. Thanks a tone. xx
if every bit was like you my school would be amazing it's such and shame that no boy likes gitlrkd for who they are in the inside maybe one day in the future I can find someone who is caring and amazing and who makes me feel special x
I don't know how I found this video but I did I love it and all the videos you make they really do inspire me.I was just scrolling threw videos and your videos just popped up and I thank god that they do cause it has changed me for the better and I think of everything in a whole new way.
I stayed up an extra two hours to watch all your videos about this. I have been having a rough time myself, and being 14 and going into freshman year, I couldn't have thought of a better way to start off my year. I also have a close friend who is very insecure and constantly tells me she is ugly and will never get a boyfriend. I will definitely direct her to your videos and use what you said to help her. She will hopefully benefit from these as well as a much needed trip to the guidance counsler. I can't thank you enough for these videos, it was today in fact that I thought about how cool it would be to have a boyfriend, hot or not.Even before this video I had good morals and high boundaries, but it was today that I thought about lowering them just a bit. These videos have helped me sooooo much and I am so glad I happened to stumble upon them. I am even going to recommend them to my former middle school to show to all the girls there. I would be in a totally different situation if it weren't for you right now. I really can't thank you enough for uploading these videos. THANK YOU!!!!
I'm in 8th grade this year and i'm not into dating or drama or anything like that. Your video helped me realize that i shouldn't let other girls make fun of me or be mean because i haven't dated anyone and most of my friends are boys. I try not to be pressured by others, try to keep smiling and be happy with myself. Thank you for that awesome video, i'll never forget the message.
My name is Brittany and I made a heart out of paper and started to rip it to show how many mistakes I made in my life. One rip, two, 3, 4, 5, 6 until there was no heart left then I relised that I don't have a heart left to give to others. so I started to cut my self daily. then this one video you made, made me think that,"HEY I am PERfect the way I am and I don't need anybody else to tell me different. thank you.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Your a huge inspiration, and your wife is so beautiful. I made a friendship with my now best friend who almost gave up God for someone who he thought he loved, and I had to remind him that it's his job to keep fighting. I really hope he stays strong, thank you for all the encouragement. I'm in 8th grade at Game well Middle School, I know lots of girls that need to see these videos.
i will make sure to share your next video. you've inspired me so much to accept who i am as a person and now i know that its okay to be who i am and not like anyone else.
absolutely love all of your videos!!! a few have brought me to tears! thank you for sharing this with me and the world. i have been trying to spread the message as best as i can and i will continue to spread it for as long as i can. thank you!
I watched your original video about this about two months ago. It had been in my recommended for a long time, and I Finally decided to watch it, and I cant even explain how happy I am that I did watch it. I didn't realize it till your video, but I was being one of those girls, who gets guys attention just to feel something. I'm only 13. I never got into relationships but I would be flirting and putting my heart out there, just for it to get broken and for me to get put down. After watching your video, I have gained so much self-respect. I promised myself I wouldn't date till it was worth it, till it meant something, and to keep the purpose of dating in mind. I have a paper hear on my wall now, and I intend to leave it without any rips. I recently watched one of my friends go through a break up and she was devastated, and I am so grateful that you put that video out there, or that also could have been me. Thank you.
Thank you mr couser for everything I hope this year I don't disappoint your expectations in your pe class I can't wait to hear this message at the end of the year.
I really really love what you do! Thank you so much. I will remember this video for so long in my life, and every time I watch it I get a better understanding and meaning out of your message. Thank you!!!
I'm a 15year old girl when no one likes me for me I never dated anyone and I did not feel loved in my self seeing your video made me think I am worth something in this world and i do feel like I need to fit in after seeing this video I realized how beautiful I am on the inside thanks
I'm in 7th grade I have a paper heart in my binder. it already has 2 rips. after watching that video I immediately thought of my closest friends I decided to take notes and I wrote a letter with all the notes and I'm giving them that letter tomorrow. I now know better and I'm going to the store to get a knew mirror. I'm so thankful for finding that video and also that I will have an almost spotless heart to give my future husband thank uou
Thank you Noah for ur video/videos ur videos have encouraged me to know and to think I'm a girl that no other girl can be the same as, I'm a girl who should treat admire in a way of speaking, herself to no longer continue a life that I shouldn't need to keep me on my feet. Because I can tell u every person and everything that they did to get me off my guard and to make me think I'm not good enough. Well it worked I've crude sooooo many times because of that that I can't even count but because of tonight watching two of the videos u just made and we're mentioning I will never ever look back and look at my self as what they made me think I will make a heart for my bedroom door and write this exact thing. I will write my heart my world revolves around my future my future husband my future children and I will give them all of what my heart is and what it gives and I will give that eve to my friends and family now so they can have my fullest heart too. THANK YOU Noah for these videos they make my inspired to start and do what u have done for people even though I'm in 6th grade I still need to here this for myself and my self courage because of the bullies that wish they can pull me down more and more but now they can't. Thank yo💓💞💝💕💖💗💘❣THANK YOU very much.
I sometimes look in the mirror and I think I look beautiful but then I feel like I shouldn't feel like I'm beautiful and then I just point out more and more flaws. I want to feel beautiful and pretty but I think I need to work on it because if I give up I will always feel ugly and worthless. Thank you so much for this video it has really helped me through out this
I love how you do this. I love what you do please don't stop! You are my inspiration wish I could meet you. You are a wonderful person don't stop what you do because so many people need to hear this and you have probably changed so many bad decisions people have made into good decisions love your videos!
People tell me I'm beautiful I still don't believe it I'm 13 almost 14 more people tell me I'm ugly and fat more than beautiful and I u helped me realized that I have to know I'm beautiful on my own, I stay watching the video every one a week and I feel better about myself each day and I'm going to wait as long as possible to have a big beautiful shaped heart for my husband and begin a beautiful relationship, thank u so much for the eye opener
noah couser i watch your videos alot of time i realived i am pretty. my mirror was broken. you made me feel special. this had an effect on me. thank you
I used to call myself not beautiful and I dont have friends..... lots if people told me I do have friends and I'm beautiful but some people call me ugly one night watched one of your videos and it changed my thoughts of what I thought about myself now I have a mirror I put in my room and I made a paper saying I'm beautiful and I have friends thanks
Same with me I have always tried wear what girls in middle school or junior high girls have wore like skinny jeans cause I was afraid of what type of names they would call me if I wore sweatpants and a hoodie to school. And even my dad would try to tell me that I beautiful no matter what but I didn't believe him I thought I was the most ugliest thing in the world. I then began to realize that it doesn't matter about what I wear I'm not impressing anybody. I'm just trying to get an education to get out of school and live life to the fullest that's what I realized when I watched Noah couser in his videos. And even when I did wear skinny jeans I didn't get much more attention, I just got less attention then before. So, Thank you so much Noah for these videos they have made me realized so much more.
absolutely loved the video, although it reminded me of my sexuality and some how put me down. You empowered me so much but I'm so so so sorry but I just felt that way. I hope one day you will mention this important subject.
Noah, I just watched many of your videos and I want to tell you, you are a huge inspiration and one of the many people who are completely changing the world and it's standards. All my friends are pretty "prude" , but I think I am one of the "prudest";however, they don't really care because I love that about me and they respect that, so I feel pretty lucky. With your video you have encouraged and helped me to keep my goals and to always set boundaries for myself in the sake of the love I have towards me and to give a full hurt to my future husband. You've helped me realize that every time I don't feel beautiful or valuable when I look into the mirror, the mirror is broken. You've inspired me to keep spreading this message to all the girls out there and tell them that if we don't treat ourselves, respectfully and valuably we are never going to find anyone who treat us that way. I am so truly thankful for all your hard work and care for this issue, because you have saved many futures, including my own. Thank you so much for being one more support system in my life besides my parents, family and friends. I love all your work and I hope you have a great life! I send you the most important thank you from Chile! -Sofia
I've been watching loads of your videos and although it sounds inspiring it just makes me feel worse about myself. All my life i've been known as the 'good child' and my parents have always been over protective and pushed on me reaching my goals. In one way i'm thankful but in so many others i'm not. I never got to experience any freedom and was always stressed about if I don't achieve the grades or anything expected of me that i'll no longer be a good child. Since the start on year 9 (grade 8 I think in America?) i have been completely different. I used to be with a friendship group who never aloud me to socialise and restricted me from so many things. I have a great group of friends now and although they are considered popular they are not all over boys and they attain good grades. Despite me being with these friends I still want to drink, party and do spontaneous things and I never ever wanted to before. You could blame it on age but honestly I feel much better when I'm at a house
Parties just doing stuff that gives me a thrill. I don't feel pressure to date or anything but it still doesn't stop me from being with boys at parties. I have gone so downhill yet I feel way better for it. I used to be the girl who was quiet, did her work and would never think of underage drinking. Now I just do anything I want. Nearly every teacher knows who I am because i'm either arguing with them (not badly) or not achieving the grades I should in their class. My head of year thinks i'm depressed and so do my parents when they can't accept the fact i've changed and just don't want to be in school. What is wrong with me?
If you're ever in Colorado please email me I would love for you to talk to the girls and guys in my school. I truly believe that they need to hear your inspiring words.
I just finished seventh grade, which was my first year in middle school. It seriously depressed me how every single girl I met was either dying to be skinny or dying to have some meat on their bones, quote unquote. So far, I only know 5 people in my ENTIRE school who dont shame their own bodies. Those five people, and a bunch of girls who insult you and make fun of your body to make themselves feel better. I do feel good about my body, and I remind myself daily that I am beautiful. The problem is, those girls that I was talking aboout earlier, the mean ones? Yeah, I was their biggest target. They taunted me in the hallway, telling me to go starve myself so my body would make up for my face. They told me that apperently I have "hot dog fingers" and had the sillouette of a potato. They always said I should kill myself to do everyone a favor. I pretty much hated myself at that time. Then, I watched that video for eighth grade girls, and it made me smile. So I want to say thank you.🙏
Those girls mainly just fat shamed me, but I am not overweight. I am not obese. They called me a flat pancake, which if you dont know, means flat chested. I am planning to share your video with my friends, because this is so inspiring. Thank you for that.
I'm only in 7th grade, but I was in a relationship with a guy I thought was my soulmate. I was very wrong. Our relationship lasted 11 months, before it ended, he was mean, and he was hitting me and calling me ugly and worthless. Growing up I had a supporting father but he never told me the thing you did. I Broke up with the guy, and cried my heart out . I thought I was broken forever. I found your video and found out he wasn't worth it at all. I now have not dated a guy in a year, and I found this guy, I like him a lot. He is a lot like you. He told me we're not ready to love we're too young. He said that he would wait for me, and told me I'm beautiful and I'm worth a lot. He told me We should wait for the right person. He told me he wants to love with a purpose. He wanted to find someone he could marry. He reminded me of you and I took his advice and yours and I'm going to wait for the one that I will marry I don't want my construction paper heart to be ripped even more than it is and I have to thank you for that.
Lilly Hebert, when I read your post, one thing really stuck out to me. You waited for a year to get back into a relationship. That is amazing and you should be so proud of yourself! I heard a different speaker (Brent Silkey) talk about taking a break from relationships and using that time to get back on track with your life. Thank you so much for sharing!
Being in my junior year in high school, I am very conflicted by your videos. I've had two relationships with boys I knew foe years and who I still love even after I have broken up with them. I do not go from relationship to relationship. I have had sex. I have kissed more than these two boys. Maybe virginity matters to some. Maybe being "pure" is a deal breaker for some. But you need to realize that many of the girls you are reaching out to are not this "pure." Please teach us that we are still beautiful and deserve the same love if we have had past experiences. Our past does not limit our futures. As a girl, it is important to know that I don't need to plan my entire life to what my husband will want in the future. We are our own people. We can date any gender and we can be as slutty or as pure as we desire. We all have a beauty. My heart is not torn. I do not regret my decisions. Dating is not about marriage. Dating is about how you truly feel towards another person and how you want to express those feelings. Marriage is a piece of paper, and virginity is does not mean you are more whole than someone else. Every girl deserves to know that her choices are okay. Every girl needs to know that even if her opinions are not the same as most around her, they still matter.
I was looking for this comment. If someone doesn’t date, then how are they going to learn from their mistakes? That’s what dating is about, it’s a learning experience, not a bonding that lasts until you marry. I don’t see how (for example) going to watch a movie with a guy means that you’re going to marry him...
and you probably won't read this Noah but ok write it any way I came across your video when a friend suggested it and have been watching them for year now My dad isn't around and I got bullied so much I had to be taken out of school I'm now hineschooled as girl's and boys called me names and tried to best me up but u reminded me that the mirror is broken and the names they called me aren't real u used to look in the mirror and the names people called me woukd go through my head now the only thing that goes throuh my head is I am beautiful just n different ways thankyou so much for your video
Not worth it while you're still in school.. I got nowhere in life because I was so distracted with fitting in. Maybe there are some people who can balance school work, dating and whatever else. But just ask yourself, if you are happy with you 100% look for a guy who is happy with himself 100% too and doesn't have to do stupid stuff to impress his guy friends. Date all you want but if you're in high school and do "sexual things" with a guy, it will always be talked about and it will boost his confidence and probably ruin yours. In the end, if you really wanna go all the way with a guy... Bring your own protection, most guys do not give a damn about your safety. That way if you have a condom at all times, there is no reason not to be safe.. But if neither of you don't have that protection you may be making a huge mistake. And that way if people DO talk about you and call you "slut" just say, it was safe sex and I have no regrets because it was mutual :)
I've noticed alot of young girls who are depressed start getting addicted to bad stuff. A lot of people are addicted to hurting themselves or doing drugs. What are some ways they can stop? Is there something else they could do besides cutting or drinking?
thank you so much Noah, sorry it is really long when i Watched that video it brag back the memories of my life throughout my schooling life i have always been the girl left out boys saying how ugly i am and that brag me to have at least 4 or 5 relationships through years 7 - 10 and by year 6 i thought i meet the boy i was going to marry but he moved to England and we kept a 'long distance relation ship' where we called eachother and talked well it turned out that boys in year 7 have the brain of a pea he basically cheated on me we broke up and i was heart broken. fast forward a few month i met another boy named josh and he was the sweetes guy on the planet all so i thought but i will get back to that in year 8 i was sexually harassed by a guy almost 3 times my age (i was about 12 or 13) but i didnt see it that way it wasent until about year 10 i realised what he had done was wrong but what i regretted was that i never told my parent about it it wasent until this year when a opened out to a friend about what happened. year 8 was a very hard year for me my great grandmother died and i was being bullied aand i actuly tried taking my own life at one point. In year 9 i had been with my boyfriend josh for about 3 years now and he knew that i was saving myself for marriage and he was fine with that until one night i was at my house he basically tried to rape me now me being a not so strong girl i was so scared i started to scream and i was so thankfull my brother (older) heard me and pulled him off me at that point in time josh had a friend i say had because well he is my boyfriend now and when Jayden heard what josh had done he actuley got into a fright with josh and said that their friendship was over and we started to become best friends and in 2016 we became a couple. i am 17 in my last year of high school back in year 8 i never thought i would make it though the year i was cutting myself and even though it had been years i suffered badly i have major anxiety and with that came depression and every day i suffer from anxiety or depression and on bad days i have both and sometimes it is too much to handel but im lucky to have a brother who knows what i am going though. i will always watch that video on my days when i feel like hurting myself and never let my future daughter go though what i went though
Thank you, i know many of you wont count this as rape but at the time he was older and knew what he was doing and i did not, i was 8 and he was 11, we had sex as i know now and i didn't know this at the time. i had a boyfriend and he asked me for sex, i was 11 he was 12, i had known him for years but i said no, i told a friend who i couldn't trust, she told people and we both denied it, it was believed that it didn't happen but i was broken up with, i should have broken up with him but really he was my friend. i had known him for years, he went to my elementary school and later he told me that this kid who had "raped" me said we had willing and knowing sex and my ex said to me if you cant do it with someone you love, then why anyone, and i realized i didn't love him, he was comfort but not love and i am so glad now that i didn't do it with him, i kissed him and i shouldn't have, it was 6th grade and it was someone who i had the courage to ask out in 5th grade. Thank you for this. (this is a comment from the other videos, thank you)
noah, i need help. I'm 13 and in 8th grade and in australia. I've seen your video so many times and learn something new from it each time. but, I'm dating this guy and after watching your video I've learnt that there is no purpose for it. please help me and guide me in what to do. he's my first boyfriend so i have no idea what to do :(
hey quick question, where is the idea that not having sex makes you morally a better person from? is it some spin off of abstinence only sex ed or just religious?
Both. This is an all-abstinent sex ed program endorsed by religious views of how sinful premarital sex is to the church. You are absolutely right by questioning how sex and not having sex have a correlation to whether we are good, moral people; because it doesn't. His videos are off-base and based on old-fashioned thinking. But these preteens are too blind by his charm to see that they're being somewhat brainwashed into thinking being sexual is wrong.
lovebugea who has the disgusting view now? First off, that was sexist. you only said girls shouldn’t have sex before marriage, implying that men can. Sex isn’t bad, it’s good, and it’s a natural human action. Sex is for pleasure and/or procreating, not binding yourself to someone for life. Women should have the freedom to have sex with whoever they like. They’re bodies are their own, not someone else’s to tell what to do.
Honestly this man has the purest soul in the world the fact that he actually cares about everyone is mind blowing because of the society that we live in
You know the reason why? It's because he knows that there is a higher love-one from God who *died* for everyone in the world, even when they hurt him and persecuted him, he still sacrificed it all for us. that's why Noah shows his love for everyone because he knows that because of Jesus, and what he did on the cross, he can try his best (as all Christians try to do) to love everyone around us, because that's what Jesus' love is like for me and you. :)

Noah, I watch and re watch your videos. I am going to watch them as many times as I need to, until I believe it. I'm only 16 and already feel like my hearts in a billion pieces. 4 relationships that meant nothing in the end, that caused me to leave marks that will never go away on my skin. I finally realized that I am worth so much more than that. I have a list in my phone of all of my exes along with the mistakes I made with them, I look at it every night and wish I could undo it all, because you're right you shouldn't be dating someone in high school just to fit in, you shouldn't be doing things with random guys because you want to feel like every other girl your age. the things I did are things that can never be taken back, and are now things I highly regret and wish I had seen these videos two three years ago before all of those mistakes were made. I know I cant turn back the clock and not do what I did. but from here on out, because of you I will not make those mistakes again, I will not date anyone unless I can see myself with them long term. Because of your videos I now everyday look in the mirror and tell myself that I am beautiful and that I am worth waiting for. I don't now how long it will take for me to believe it, but I'm back on a pretty good road and I cant thank you enough for that. Please keep doing what you're doing, you are a true inspiration. ~Rachel
+Rachel C Thanks so much for your kind words, thrilled these messages hit home. Don't ever forget the truths taken from these talks, you are valuable, you are beautiful, you are worth waiting for. God bless
u know how schools say ur a chewed up piece of gum and every time you have a relationship you get chewed THIS IS WRONG you are not a body count number obviously you don’t need a million relationships but you don’t have to wait for just one person and “save urself” for them u can do that if u want but you don’t have to force yourself to
it's amazing because two hours ago I prayed for the strength to say no to guy after what happened today and the video was in my recomendations....I'm crying of so much joy!
:)
God works in miraculous ways! So glad that your prayer was answered! God bless!
Freshman next year, and this 8th grade year has been a heap of drama, memories, and mistakes. I've watched all my friends start throwing those middle school parties, and not inviting me because I'm too "prude", "innocent" "annoying" etc. I'm now watching the 7th graders enter this pathway. All my friends have lost their first kisses, been having serious relationships, and I've been sitting on the bench. If anyone needs the talk you have shared with me and thousands of others, its all those students in my grade, at my school, and my friends. Thanks for telling me to not give in, and even if I do feel left out now, at least I know that I won't regret my decisions later in life.
Listening to ur voice helps me. I'm 13 years old turning 14. I love to write and sing. I'm too scared to come out of my comfort zone and show my voice because I feel like people will make fun of me. I have two brothers but they don't know me. I feel ugly and worthless. I feels so alone but by watching ur videos everyday helps because ur someone that cares and that means so much to me and to a bunch do other people I love u so much
-Ali
Bri Ali I think you are an amazing people. If your brothers don't want to get to know you they are the ones that are missing out. You are gifted to be able to write and sing. I think you should come out of your comfort zone and show the world you talent. I'm sure you have a beautiful voice. And if everyone laughs at you for your incredible talent I will be the one person not laughing.
I just now discovered the what every 8th grade girl needs to hear video & I just want to say thank you. I'm only in 7th, but I have "dated" so many boys just to feel beautiful because I couldn't tell myself. Since I watched that video though it just hit me that I am worth so much more and I can wait to marry the man of my dreams. You changed my life and my friend's lives so thank you for that.
I love the way you talk about your wife
I Think Your Videos Changed My Life.
I'm going into freshman year into high school and your video reminded me why I have never dated. I put your videos link on my Instagram and I hope others watch it :)
Please come share this at Bigfork high school. So many girls need to hear this.
Courtney George I'm actually speaking next week in Kila because the principal reached out to me. Maybe chat with your administrator?
I'm definitely going to. I've heard your talk multiple times! I love it. I've also been to a few Young life camps with you! You're super awesome and I think what you're doing is incredible. :)
What you do is amazing. Every girl needs to hear these. Posting about what you post about is much needed. Thank you.
Noah, You have NO idea how much I needed to hear this today. I'm a sophomore in high school and recently the pressure of dating, drinking, and other things have been weighing on me because my old friends are starting to conform. I had slowly begun to think that maybe I was the problem, I was too much of a goody goody or a prude. The guys in my class have said that I'm too standoff-ish and prudish. I tried so hard not to care but it did really hurt. I sadly considered backing down from my moral code to start dating and putting myself out there. But now I know that I'm not the one who is wrong. This message has really given me the strength to remain how I am and stay strong in my morals. I can't wait to find my husband and share with him my complete self. You have just saved me from so many mistakes, and I can't thank you enough. I hope this gives you some inspiration like your message did me. God Bless
Noah, watched the 8th grade girl video..... I busted into tears! No one has ever told me I am beautiful. That speech really hit hone! I am seeing things change. I am going to be a wife one day and my husband will love me which means that i don't need all these boys that I wont ever see again after high school to tell me that i am! That message has changed my life which sounds extreme but its true! Thank you so much! we really need more people like you and your wife! Thanks.
I rewatch and rewatch these videos and I share them and every girl and every boy thanks me and says that you helped them. You told them to love themselves because of what you said. Every 8th and 7th grader at Freeburg Middle school thanks you.
Just watched your video about what every 8th grade girl needs to hear. Absolutely amazing. I am a senior in high school, about to transition into college and I have never dated or kissed a boy. I began praying for my future husband when I was in 8th grade and although I do not know his name or face, I continue to persevere for him and for God. Thank you for making this video.
I'm a 7th grade girl right now and your video truly did inspire me. The responses in this video were something I could relate to. Many girls and guys have been impacted by your videos. You truly are an inspiration.
Thank you :)
I can relate to most of the comments too and im grade 7 too and i get made fun for being different but i like your profile pic hazzaaa
Thanks! :)
Love you're profile picture... 1d for life

I'm an 8th grade girl right now. I've comment on your video what every 8th grade girl need to know before. That video truly inspired me and I can wait for What everything girl needs to hear! Thank you Noah Couser.
That video was truly inspirational. I made paper hearts and I'm planing to give them to my friends, I made one for myself and I'm gonna put it on the back of my door, so every day and night, every time I'm in my room I see it to remind myself my heart needs to stay like that. I'm truly excited for the next video. I share these videos with my friends and on social media to tell girls they're pretty. Your video helped me realize that every mirror I look into is broken and what I truly am is beautiful and I don't need a man to tell me. I wish I had a younger sister to share this with but I share it with my friends and that's enough for me. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and girls everywhere❤️
Noah, I am 13 years old going on 14, and I will be starting high school in the fall. As pop culture grows and grows more peer presser to be like the latest models just increases. Being a curvy girl I get quite a bit of attention, and not for the right reasons. Your video really helped and inspired me to not let people pressure me into becoming a person I don't want to be. When I get older I hope to share this empowering message not only with my friends, but with all my peers. Thank You for inspiring me to be the best version of me I can be. You also gave me the idea to create a painting that said " I am, confident beautiful. strong, etc." So I thank YOU!
While growing up, I was a very insecure child and was always hiding behind my mom or my friend. There was always something different about me from the moment I was born. I never follow the crowd/society. Ever since 9th Grade (last year) I've started much more to allow myself to be me. So while everyone was out partying and dating(yes at 14 they were and still are doing these things) I would do my own thing and study/read. Up until now, I still haven't found anybody who is like me at my school. I am now finishing 10th Grade and watching your video a couple moths ago was so reassuring that other people though like me and my family. Especially a guy!! Ever since then, when ever I feel down and need a little motivation I watch your video and instantly I feel much better.
You're a really big inspiration! Don't stop what you're doing because wether you know it or not you are helping so many young girls out there!
Thank you SO much!
Omggg this is LITTERALLY so cool how an 8th grade p.e teacher from my school is helping boys and girls all through the state I just love this
Even though I found this video when it was too late to give my futur husband my whole heart I found it at the perfect time in my life. Thank you so much for making me realise my worth and for helping me to stop ripping my heart up.
It has changed my life!! I would like to thank you for the positive message. I have never had a father before, that told me that I was beautiful and worth it. My friend showed me the video and I thank her everyday. I hope to make a difference in the world like you have. Thanks again, cameron sanders
On Freshmen orientation day at my high school we got a similar talk from Brad Henning - you should check out his website- and I though it was so great that when my sister started High School at the beginning of my senior year, I went again.These types of talks are amazing to me, just the fact that someone can care so much about so any people is mind blowing.I watched this video and your 8th grade boy and girl videos now as a college senior and thought 'this type of stuff is so great, I'm going to share it on facebook'so I did. I printed out the commitment card and am glad to say I never made a decision I regret in high school or middle school.Thank you for reaffirming this message so well
you may not see this but that video changed me in so many ways... thank you. i made a list, of the qualities i will need in order to live happily, care for myself and my future husband, and hopefully daughter whom i will show this video. i am beginning a card and it will help me. i just started high school and am so glad i heard this before i got into things and grew up to fast.
I first watched that video when I was a 7th grade girl. I'm now a freshman in highschool and as I still struggle with the dating scene I am learning to appreciate myself and my beauty. I have learned not to let myself be pressured into sexual actions by the guys I date. I am proud to say that I have saved myself for my husband and I plan to continue doing so. I have learned not to put so much of my self worth into what others think of me. I have learned not to let failed relationships tear me down especially when I had no say in the adrupt end of one. Thank you for showing me that I don't have to be loved by others to love myself. I hope to one day show my son or daughter your videos. And I hope he or she turns out to have half the heart that you do!
You are an amazing person, this has helped me soooo much! All other videos are sooo bland. They all talk about "how much u should eat" "what u should and shouldn't wear" and I think this my body and u can't tell me what I look "good" in and that makes me think then why do I care what people at school think.........The thing is I shouldn't care at all. Being popular is not cool I've looked at the "popular kids" social media and it's so concerning the things they comment are just so hurtful after seeing their comments I have vowed to try and never say a means word to/or about people and if I do to write it down in my diary because then I can see I see all the hurtful insulting shaming words that have come out of my mouth. And it reminds me to stop and think how will this affect someone's life how will calling them fat make them feel inside, we all start as blank piece of paper and when something mean or hurtful is said to us are piece of paper then gets a little bit of black on it but than when something nice is said to us are piece of paper gets whiter and I personally would never what to blacken anyone's piece of paper. Thanks a tone. xx
if every bit was like you my school would be amazing it's such and shame that no boy likes gitlrkd for who they are in the inside maybe one day in the future I can find someone who is caring and amazing and who makes me feel special x
GABIKEBABI pardon what's rubbish
I don't know how I found this video but I did I love it and all the videos you make they really do inspire me.I was just scrolling threw videos and your videos just popped up and I thank god that they do cause it has changed me for the better and I think of everything in a whole new way.
I stayed up an extra two hours to watch all your videos about this. I have been having a rough time myself, and being 14 and going into freshman year, I couldn't have thought of a better way to start off my year. I also have a close friend who is very insecure and constantly tells me she is ugly and will never get a boyfriend. I will definitely direct her to your videos and use what you said to help her. She will hopefully benefit from these as well as a much needed trip to the guidance counsler. I can't thank you enough for these videos, it was today in fact that I thought about how cool it would be to have a boyfriend, hot or not.Even before this video I had good morals and high boundaries, but it was today that I thought about lowering them just a bit. These videos have helped me sooooo much and I am so glad I happened to stumble upon them. I am even going to recommend them to my former middle school to show to all the girls there. I would be in a totally different situation if it weren't for you right now. I really can't thank you enough for uploading these videos. THANK YOU!!!!
I'm in 8th grade this year and i'm not into dating or drama or anything like that. Your video helped me realize that i shouldn't let other girls make fun of me or be mean because i haven't dated anyone and most of my friends are boys. I try not to be pressured by others, try to keep smiling and be happy with myself. Thank you for that awesome video, i'll never forget the message.
May the lord continue to bless you and your family.Please continue to preach around the world to people
I only wish I had found that video when I first started my school year. Thank you so much :)
My name is Brittany and I made a heart out of paper and started to rip it to show how many mistakes I made in my life. One rip, two, 3, 4, 5, 6 until there was no heart left then I relised that I don't have a heart left to give to others. so I started to cut my self daily. then this one video you made, made me think that,"HEY I am PERfect the way I am and I don't need anybody else to tell me different. thank you.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Your a huge inspiration, and your wife is so beautiful. I made a friendship with my now best friend who almost gave up God for someone who he thought he loved, and I had to remind him that it's his job to keep fighting. I really hope he stays strong, thank you for all the encouragement. I'm in 8th grade at Game well Middle School, I know lots of girls that need to see these videos.
So inspirational! come to Northridge Middle School, we all need to hear from you! 💗
i will make sure to share your next video. you've inspired me so much to accept who i am as a person and now i know that its okay to be who i am and not like anyone else.
absolutely love all of your videos!!! a few have brought me to tears! thank you for sharing this with me and the world. i have been trying to spread the message as best as i can and i will continue to spread it for as long as i can. thank you!
I watched your original video about this about two months ago. It had been in my recommended for a long time, and I Finally decided to watch it, and I cant even explain how happy I am that I did watch it. I didn't realize it till your video, but I was being one of those girls, who gets guys attention just to feel something. I'm only 13. I never got into relationships but I would be flirting and putting my heart out there, just for it to get broken and for me to get put down. After watching your video, I have gained so much self-respect. I promised myself I wouldn't date till it was worth it, till it meant something, and to keep the purpose of dating in mind. I have a paper hear on my wall now, and I intend to leave it without any rips. I recently watched one of my friends go through a break up and she was devastated, and I am so grateful that you put that video out there, or that also could have been me. Thank you.
Thank you mr couser for everything I hope this year I don't disappoint your expectations in your pe class I can't wait to hear this message at the end of the year.
Thank you for caring. God bless you and your family.
I really really love what you do! Thank you so much. I will remember this video for so long in my life, and every time I watch it I get a better understanding and meaning out of your message. Thank you!!!
My right ear enjoyed this video
I'm a 15year old girl when no one likes me for me I never dated anyone and I did not feel loved in my self seeing your video made me think I am worth something in this world and i do feel like I need to fit in after seeing this video I realized how beautiful I am on the inside thanks
Awwww your wife is really beautiful. Thank you for all your videos, really inspiring love them.
I'm in 7th grade I have a paper heart in my binder. it already has 2 rips. after watching that video I immediately thought of my closest friends I decided to take notes and I wrote a letter with all the notes and I'm giving them that letter tomorrow. I now know better and I'm going to the store to get a knew mirror. I'm so thankful for finding that video and also that I will have an almost spotless heart to give my future husband thank uou
Thank you Noah for ur video/videos ur videos have encouraged me to know and to think I'm a girl that no other girl can be the same as, I'm a girl who should treat admire in a way of speaking, herself to no longer continue a life that I shouldn't need to keep me on my feet. Because I can tell u every person and everything that they did to get me off my guard and to make me think I'm not good enough. Well it worked I've crude sooooo many times because of that that I can't even count but because of tonight watching two of the videos u just made and we're mentioning I will never ever look back and look at my self as what they made me think I will make a heart for my bedroom door and write this exact thing. I will write my heart my world revolves around my future my future husband my future children and I will give them all of what my heart is and what it gives and I will give that eve to my friends and family now so they can have my fullest heart too. THANK YOU Noah for these videos they make my inspired to start and do what u have done for people even though I'm in 6th grade I still need to here this for myself and my self courage because of the bullies that wish they can pull me down more and more but now they can't. Thank yo💓💞💝💕💖💗💘❣THANK YOU very much.
I sometimes look in the mirror and I think I look beautiful but then I feel like I shouldn't feel like I'm beautiful and then I just point out more and more flaws. I want to feel beautiful and pretty but I think I need to work on it because if I give up I will always feel ugly and worthless. Thank you so much for this video it has really helped me through out this
I love how you do this. I love what you do please don't stop! You are my inspiration wish I could meet you. You are a wonderful person don't stop what you do because so many people need to hear this and you have probably changed so many bad decisions people have made into good decisions love your videos!
People tell me I'm beautiful I still don't believe it I'm 13 almost 14 more people tell me I'm ugly and fat more than beautiful and I u helped me realized that I have to know I'm beautiful on my own, I stay watching the video every one a week and I feel better about myself each day and I'm going to wait as long as possible to have a big beautiful shaped heart for my husband and begin a beautiful relationship, thank u so much for the eye opener
Noah Couser for president!
I love your videos so much. And your wife is so gorgeous, omg 😍
noah couser i watch your videos alot of time i realived i am pretty. my mirror was broken. you made me feel special. this had an effect on me. thank you
My left ear enjoyed this
You are such an inspiration.
You guys are a beautiful couple!
This video was beautiful.
I used to call myself not beautiful and I dont have friends..... lots if people told me I do have friends and I'm beautiful but some people call me ugly one night watched one of your videos and it changed my thoughts of what I thought about myself now I have a mirror I put in my room and I made a paper saying I'm beautiful and I have friends thanks
Same with me I have always tried wear what girls in middle school or junior high girls have wore like skinny jeans cause I was afraid of what type of names they would call me if I wore sweatpants and a hoodie to school. And even my dad would try to tell me that I beautiful no matter what but I didn't believe him I thought I was the most ugliest thing in the world. I then began to realize that it doesn't matter about what I wear I'm not impressing anybody. I'm just trying to get an education to get out of school and live life to the fullest that's what I realized when I watched Noah couser in his videos. And even when I did wear skinny jeans I didn't get much more attention, I just got less attention then before. So, Thank you so much Noah for these videos they have made me realized so much more.
You guys are really amazing💜
you are my inspiration
Your a true insparation!
absolutely loved the video, although it reminded me of my sexuality and some how put me down. You empowered me so much but I'm so so so sorry but I just felt that way. I hope one day you will mention this important subject.
Noah, I just watched many of your videos and I want to tell you, you are a huge inspiration and one of the many people who are completely changing the world and it's standards. All my friends are pretty "prude" , but I think I am one of the "prudest";however, they don't really care because I love that about me and they respect that, so I feel pretty lucky. With your video you have encouraged and helped me to keep my goals and to always set boundaries for myself in the sake of the love I have towards me and to give a full hurt to my future husband. You've helped me realize that every time I don't feel beautiful or valuable when I look into the mirror, the mirror is broken. You've inspired me to keep spreading this message to all the girls out there and tell them that if we don't treat ourselves, respectfully and valuably we are never going to find anyone who treat us that way. I am so truly thankful for all your hard work and care for this issue, because you have saved many futures, including my own. Thank you so much for being one more support system in my life besides my parents, family and friends. I love all your work and I hope you have a great life! I send you the most important thank you from Chile! -Sofia
y'all are so amazing
I've been watching loads of your videos and although it sounds inspiring it just makes me feel worse about myself. All my life i've been known as the 'good child' and my parents have always been over protective and pushed on me reaching my goals. In one way i'm thankful but in so many others i'm not. I never got to experience any freedom and was always stressed about if I don't achieve the grades or anything expected of me that i'll no longer be a good child. Since the start on year 9 (grade 8 I think in America?) i have been completely different. I used to be with a friendship group who never aloud me to socialise and restricted me from so many things. I have a great group of friends now and although they are considered popular they are not all over boys and they attain good grades. Despite me being with these friends I still want to drink, party and do spontaneous things and I never ever wanted to before. You could blame it on age but honestly I feel much better when I'm at a house
Parties just doing stuff that gives me a thrill. I don't feel pressure to date or anything but it still doesn't stop me from being with boys at parties. I have gone so downhill yet I feel way better for it. I used to be the girl who was quiet, did her work and would never think of underage drinking. Now I just do anything I want. Nearly every teacher knows who I am because i'm either arguing with them (not badly) or not achieving the grades I should in their class. My head of year thinks i'm depressed and so do my parents when they can't accept the fact i've changed and just don't want to be in school. What is wrong with me?
If you're ever in Colorado please email me I would love for you to talk to the girls and guys in my school. I truly believe that they need to hear your inspiring words.
"It isnt about appearances" The first adjectives he uses,to describe his wife are gorgeous and beautiful.
True lol, it's pretty ironic to say looks don't matter when they both chose attractive partners.
But beauty can come from the inside as well. It's not just on the outside.
Annika Martin that’s what I’m saying
I just finished seventh grade, which was my first year in middle school. It seriously depressed me how every single girl I met was either dying to be skinny or dying to have some meat on their bones, quote unquote. So far, I only know 5 people in my ENTIRE school who dont shame their own bodies. Those five people, and a bunch of girls who insult you and make fun of your body to make themselves feel better. I do feel good about my body, and I remind myself daily that I am beautiful. The problem is, those girls that I was talking aboout earlier, the mean ones? Yeah, I was their biggest target. They taunted me in the hallway, telling me to go starve myself so my body would make up for my face. They told me that apperently I have "hot dog fingers" and had the sillouette of a potato. They always said I should kill myself to do everyone a favor. I pretty much hated myself at that time. Then, I watched that video for eighth grade girls, and it made me smile. So I want to say thank you.🙏
Those girls mainly just fat shamed me, but I am not overweight. I am not obese. They called me a flat pancake, which if you dont know, means flat chested. I am planning to share your video with my friends, because this is so inspiring. Thank you for that.
I love you video and I love how you love all girls
I'm only in 7th grade, but I was in a relationship with a guy I thought was my soulmate. I was very wrong. Our relationship lasted 11 months, before it ended, he was mean, and he was hitting me and calling me ugly and worthless. Growing up I had a supporting father but he never told me the thing you did. I Broke up with the guy, and cried my heart out . I thought I was broken forever. I found your video and found out he wasn't worth it at all. I now have not dated a guy in a year, and I found this guy, I like him a lot. He is a lot like you. He told me we're not ready to love we're too young. He said that he would wait for me, and told me I'm beautiful and I'm worth a lot. He told me We should wait for the right person. He told me he wants to love with a purpose. He wanted to find someone he could marry. He reminded me of you and I took his advice and yours and I'm going to wait for the one that I will marry I don't want my construction paper heart to be ripped even more than it is and I have to thank you for that.
Lilly Hebert, when I read your post, one thing really stuck out to me. You waited for a year to get back into a relationship. That is amazing and you should be so proud of yourself! I heard a different speaker (Brent Silkey) talk about taking a break from relationships and using that time to get back on track with your life. Thank you so much for sharing!
Being in my junior year in high school, I am very conflicted by your videos. I've had two relationships with boys I knew foe years and who I still love even after I have broken up with them. I do not go from relationship to relationship. I have had sex. I have kissed more than these two boys. Maybe virginity matters to some. Maybe being "pure" is a deal breaker for some. But you need to realize that many of the girls you are reaching out to are not this "pure." Please teach us that we are still beautiful and deserve the same love if we have had past experiences. Our past does not limit our futures. As a girl, it is important to know that I don't need to plan my entire life to what my husband will want in the future. We are our own people. We can date any gender and we can be as slutty or as pure as we desire. We all have a beauty. My heart is not torn. I do not regret my decisions. Dating is not about marriage. Dating is about how you truly feel towards another person and how you want to express those feelings. Marriage is a piece of paper, and virginity is does not mean you are more whole than someone else. Every girl deserves to know that her choices are okay. Every girl needs to know that even if her opinions are not the same as most around her, they still matter.
THANK YOU
I was looking for this comment.
If someone doesn’t date, then how are they going to learn from their mistakes? That’s what dating is about, it’s a learning experience, not a bonding that lasts until you marry. I don’t see how (for example) going to watch a movie with a guy means that you’re going to marry him...
You'd be incredibly good for a TED talk
and you probably won't read this Noah but ok write it any way I came across your video when a friend suggested it and have been watching them for year now My dad isn't around and I got bullied so much I had to be taken out of school I'm now hineschooled as girl's and boys called me names and tried to best me up but u reminded me that the mirror is broken and the names they called me aren't real u used to look in the mirror and the names people called me woukd go through my head now the only thing that goes throuh my head is I am beautiful just n different ways thankyou so much for your video
Could you come to my school and teach to my female friends. In Racine Wisconsin
god bless xx
When you said having a good dad and trusting him. What if he just encourages you to date? Cause that's what my dad does 😕
Not worth it while you're still in school.. I got nowhere in life because I was so distracted with fitting in. Maybe there are some people who can balance school work, dating and whatever else. But just ask yourself, if you are happy with you 100% look for a guy who is happy with himself 100% too and doesn't have to do stupid stuff to impress his guy friends. Date all you want but if you're in high school and do "sexual things" with a guy, it will always be talked about and it will boost his confidence and probably ruin yours. In the end, if you really wanna go all the way with a guy... Bring your own protection, most guys do not give a damn about your safety. That way if you have a condom at all times, there is no reason not to be safe.. But if neither of you don't have that protection you may be making a huge mistake. And that way if people DO talk about you and call you "slut" just say, it was safe sex and I have no regrets because it was mutual :)
I've noticed alot of young girls who are depressed start getting addicted to bad stuff. A lot of people are addicted to hurting themselves or doing drugs. What are some ways they can stop? Is there something else they could do besides cutting or drinking?
thank you so much Noah, sorry it is really long
when i Watched that video it brag back the memories of my life throughout my schooling life i have always been the girl left out boys saying how ugly i am and that brag me to have at least 4 or 5 relationships through years 7 - 10 and by year 6 i thought i meet the boy i was going to marry but he moved to England and we kept a 'long distance relation ship' where we called eachother and talked well it turned out that boys in year 7 have the brain of a pea he basically cheated on me we broke up and i was heart broken. fast forward a few month i met another boy named josh and he was the sweetes guy on the planet all so i thought but i will get back to that in year 8 i was sexually harassed by a guy almost 3 times my age (i was about 12 or 13) but i didnt see it that way it wasent until about year 10 i realised what he had done was wrong but what i regretted was that i never told my parent about it it wasent until this year when a opened out to a friend about what happened. year 8 was a very hard year for me my great grandmother died and i was being bullied aand i actuly tried taking my own life at one point.
In year 9 i had been with my boyfriend josh for about 3 years now and he knew that i was saving myself for marriage and he was fine with that until one night i was at my house he basically tried to rape me now me being a not so strong girl i was so scared i started to scream and i was so thankfull my brother (older) heard me and pulled him off me at that point in time josh had a friend i say had because well he is my boyfriend now and when Jayden heard what josh had done he actuley got into a fright with josh and said that their friendship was over and we started to become best friends and in 2016 we became a couple.
i am 17 in my last year of high school back in year 8 i never thought i would make it though the year i was cutting myself and even though it had been years i suffered badly i have major anxiety and with that came depression and every day i suffer from anxiety or depression and on bad days i have both and sometimes it is too much to handel but im lucky to have a brother who knows what i am going though.
i will always watch that video on my days when i feel like hurting myself and never let my future daughter go though what i went though
My right ear felt lonely watching this
His wife is so beautiful
why are you acting like girls exist to get married and have children? not every girl has that goal
J Johnson agreed that's what he promotes in his videos!
Hanna Montana somewhat
I never wanted to have kids or get married. But I was promiscuous in 8th grade. Don’t be so literal.
Thank you, i know many of you wont count this as rape but at the time he was older and knew what he was doing and i did not, i was 8 and he was 11, we had sex as i know now and i didn't know this at the time. i had a boyfriend and he asked me for sex, i was 11 he was 12, i had known him for years but i said no, i told a friend who i couldn't trust, she told people and we both denied it, it was believed that it didn't happen but i was broken up with, i should have broken up with him but really he was my friend. i had known him for years, he went to my elementary school and later he told me that this kid who had "raped" me said we had willing and knowing sex and my ex said to me if you cant do it with someone you love, then why anyone, and i realized i didn't love him, he was comfort but not love and i am so glad now that i didn't do it with him, i kissed him and i shouldn't have, it was 6th grade and it was someone who i had the courage to ask out in 5th grade. Thank you for this. (this is a comment from the other videos, thank you)
My right ear is lonely
noah, i need help. I'm 13 and in 8th grade and in australia. I've seen your video so many times and learn something new from it each time. but, I'm dating this guy and after watching your video I've learnt that there is no purpose for it. please help me and guide me in what to do. he's my first boyfriend so i have no idea what to do :(
Maddison O'Connor if you're happy play it out and if he starts to treat you poor that's his loss dump him and wait for someone to treat you right
hey quick question, where is the idea that not having sex makes you morally a better person from? is it some spin off of abstinence only sex ed or just religious?
Both. This is an all-abstinent sex ed program endorsed by religious views of how sinful premarital sex is to the church. You are absolutely right by questioning how sex and not having sex have a correlation to whether we are good, moral people; because it doesn't. His videos are off-base and based on old-fashioned thinking. But these preteens are too blind by his charm to see that they're being somewhat brainwashed into thinking being sexual is wrong.
jose lopez both of you have disgusting hedonistic views. sex is not good, girls should not be encouraged to have sex before marriage.
lovebugea who has the disgusting view now? First off, that was sexist. you only said girls shouldn’t have sex before marriage, implying that men can. Sex isn’t bad, it’s good, and it’s a natural human action. Sex is for pleasure and/or procreating, not binding yourself to someone for life. Women should have the freedom to have sex with whoever they like. They’re bodies are their own, not someone else’s to tell what to do.
