I know you're most likely not to read this, but it is worth a try. You all mean so much to me. I may be just an annoying fangirl to you, but you guys are my life. I've never had many friends, and have always had a rough life. I'll start at the beginning.


The first nine years of my life I was abused by my father. When I was eight I was suicidal. At nine, we moved away suddenly. Three quarters of everything I owned had to be left behind. My dogs and cats had to be left, my friends and to be left, and I've never seen my dad since. We were living with my mom's coworker for sixth months before we even found a place to live. When I was eleven, I finally found out about YouTube. I wasn't a huge fan of it, so I didn't get on as much. I had made a couple new friends, but then we were forced to move AGAIN. We packed up and I had to leave all my new friends behind. In seventh grade I met my now best friends. I was very happy, but tended to get stressed a lot. At the beginning of eight grade (2011) my good friend Elsa had showed me a Smosh video, Charlie the Drunk Guinea Pig. I wasn't in love at first, but Elsa (being the stubborn, persistent person she is) kept telling me to watch more. After watching around ten videos, I was hooked. Every week I feel loved because I have something to look forward to.


Ever since I found about you guys, I feel wanted, loved, and very happy. Whenever I am depressed, I watch your guys' videos and I am immediately laughing, and in my own little paradise. You have effected my life in ways I never thought possible. You bring me joy, and humor. I think differently, I act differently, I have many friends (even if we are ALL outcasts in school) and I have never felt better.


Even if my family has problems, and no money, and we struggle a lot, I can get away from it all by watching your videos. Like I said, you don't know me, but I sure know you. Does that make me sound like a stalker? I don't know; but I just want to say, THANK YOU. You make me feel loved. Thank you.


P.S. On the Smosh account (wasn't sure if it was Ian or Anthony) I was tweeted, and that made me so happy. I was crying, and shaking, and barely able to speak. It made my LIFE. :)


I love you-you're my LIFE <3

When I found Smosh it changed my life. At the time i found them I had just lost my best friend,

My cousin, and my aunt was dying of cancer.To top it all off i was verry ill. My best friend had

to move all the way accross the country because of her mother's death.a few weeks later we recieved

a call that my cousin who i had become verry close with had committed suicide.I began having BIG

problems with anxiety and depression.I began cutting myself...I tried to hide it but my mom still

managed to find out. I wasnt in school due to my illness and sitting in my room all day wasn't

helping my anxiety or depression. My parents decided I needed to go to a councelor...however

I didn't talk to her verry much. One night I was sitting in my room just browsing youtube and randomly clicked

on a smosh vid. This was the first time I had smiled in weeks. My councelor and I were discussing ways that

I could calm myself down so I wouldin't go back to my old self. I immediately thought of Smosh and began

explaining to her who they were and what they did. She told me that it was a good idea.

 Eventually my aunt did pass...and when nobody else was there for me I knew i could count on smosh to cheer me up.

Verry recently my grandmother passed away...we had always been verry close and i loved her.

I thought that nothing could help me...but then I thought back to how I used to be and remembered my

chat with my counselor.I pulled out my laptop and clicked on a smosh video.While everyone else was grieving

I knew that my grandmother would be proud of me for staying strong and trying my hardest to move on

by using something i love.

  Thank you Ian and Anthony<3 You saved me and I will forever be greatfull to you guys:)

I tend to get sick... a lot. I always have fevers, coughs, sore throats, headaches, and runny noses. I always feel horrible and never want to do anything, but I have the best sick day routine ever! I put on my favorite pjs, curl up in my bed, and watch Smosh. For Hours. 


They always make me forget the pain and aches in my body and they make me laugh! Some times laughter really is the best medicine.

Hi! My name is Chloe. Here's the Story of how Smosh changed my life!


I struggle with Anxiety. Juggling School and other priorities is hard and I find myself unhappy and very stressed out most of the time. This last summer (June 9, 2011) I found Smosh.
 I would stay up till four in the morning watching videos that I've never seen and keeping up with the new ones they would post. Soon I got caught up with all their videos and I began to find myself much happier. Smosh always puts a smile on my face when ever I'm feeling down. Smosh has helped me with my anxiety and they make me feel like I have nothing to worry about. Ian and Anthony are my heroes. They're such kind people who never seem to let me down!


 I'm super thankful for them and I love them a lot! Thank you Smosh you help me everyday! Oh, and please keep doing what you're doing because you're fantastic!

Hi. I remember when I used to be depressed. When my whole

world was just empty. I used to cry myself to sleep every night.

I hated everything. I've cut so many times, and felt the need to

kill myself. It's not like anyone cared right? People told me I was

 weird. And even my friends were ashamed of hanging out with

me because I was the 'different' one. We have a screwed up 

society. Where people judge each other. I just wanted to leave

this fucked up world.

   Then, this Little thing called Smosh came along. These two

adorable guys lit up my world. The first video I've seen by them 

was 'Amazing New Drink' They made me smile within the first

30 seconds in the video.

    For once in my life I actually felt happy. I started watching more

and more of their videos and I was hooked. Smosh became my

life from then on. Video, by Video my love for them has gradually

grown. Ian and Anthony make my world complete. 

    After a few more months of Smoshing, I finally decided to make

a twitter. Twitter is where I keep it real. Everybody's fake on Face-

book. I followed some few Smoshers, All the Smosh accounts, etc.

    I started to read some Smoshers tweets. And I was surprised 

how we all relate. Most of us has been through depression at one 

point. And somehow, with our past, we all connected. Without 

Smosh I wouldn't be the girl I am today.

   Since Smosh, I've become friends with people I actually have

in common with. Smosh made me feel good. Watching there 

videos made me laugh hysterically. And during class, I'd giggle

to myself about something Ian had said in a video. People 

would look at me like I was crazy, but if they only knew. I used

to be sad and insecure. But now, I'm Happy and confident.

  

Even though you'll never read this, Thanks Ian and Anthony.

I know this is Cliche, but Smosh saved my life.

Eh. I guess Smosh... er- changed my life. For an example, I no longer have a life... So yeah...  Thanks Smosh.. Anywho, when I watched Smosh, it was like 2007. Me being a total noob on YouTube is fun... I guess. :P But yeah, I wasn't depressed when I watched Smosh, I'm one of the people who watched it because they were funny and not because of depression. ...God I'm so rude.... BUT.... Yeah... IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME. I HAVE A POKEMON BATTLE TO ATTEND TO... PIKACHU IS BEING A BITCH...

Hehe, anyways. Baii.

....Chesticles. Teehee...

So like everyone else, smosh has changed/ saved my life so significantly. Maybe not like a lot of peoples but in a special way. 

When I found smosh nothing was really wrong with me. I wasn't depressed or cutting. I was actually in a good state. 
They actually made me forget about most of the world and so that helped majorly. I'd watch their videos everyday and I looked forward to the weeks. 
During winter break, I started getting depressed for no reason. There were nights that I would just start crying so much and things would set me off. I'd vent on twitter cause I don't have anyone in real life to talk to. So many people helped me become happier and I'd forget why I was sad. 
On Christmas eve, something happened that I'm not getting into major detail due to the fact you're probably already bored.. But after it happened I laid on the floor for two hours straight crying. My family saw me like this and tried to talk to me but I wouldn't speak. They told me to watch some smosh cause they know I love them SOOO much! I did and I instantly got better. But going more into my break and after, my depression worsened. It came to the point of me cutting myself several times and I was two years clean. 
It would have been more if it wasnt for the people on twitter, they cared. 
So yeah smosh saved me, they brought me the best people I could ask for. And for that I could never thank them enough. 


Thanks smosh<3
