“When I was 16 years old, I tried to kill myself. Because I felt weird and different and I felt like I did not belong. And now I’m standing here,” he said. “So I would like for this moment to be for that kid out there who feels like she’s weird or she’s different or she doesn’t fit in anywhere. Yes, you do.
