My name is Rachel and here is my MBE. I’ll start off by giving you a little background info. I’m 17, I live in Canada and I have loved Justin Bieber since April 2008 after watching him sing to Esmee Denters. I have loved and supported him since then, no matter what. I have been struggling with my self-esteem, stress and just everything in life for a while now. I have friends who cut and self harm and I always said I would never do that because I know once you start, it’s hard to stop. But it got bad Sunday (January 20th). I had just had a huge fight with my mum and brother and I was just over everything. I thought, “Hey what the hell, I’m fat/ugly/annoying, no one cares so why does it matter if I cut?” I went to the washroom and grabbed a razor. In the process of doing it, I cut my thumb open by accident and I was so scared because it bled for a long time. I was scared to go get my mum because then I had to tell her what happened. After about 45 minutes I went and lied to her. We wrapped it up and she went back to bed. While all this was going on I thought about everything going on in my life and just thought about how Scooter never gives up on ANYTHING. He is always able to stay positive and happy about it all. I envy that mindset. I usually send Scooter the odd random message just to try and get his attention or even just a “hello.” On Saturday night I messaged him saying, “follow me @rachelsayshii”. On Sunday, I messaged him explaining what had happened and how he had helped me realize I can’t be doing this because where would he be if he had just given up and gave into all his stress and pressure? I thanked him and sent it. I was not what so ever expecting a reply because out of all the years of sending him messages, he has never once replied. When I woke up Monday morning I saw he replied asking for my cell number and that he had followed me on Twitter. I sent him my information right away and waited. I heard nothing from him for about 3 days, until Wednesday night. I was at home and my brother and I had just gotten in a fight. I was already in tears from that, until I got a call from a weird number. I was listening to music and I was trying to turn it off but it wouldn’t stop so I dropped my laptop and answered the phone. It was Scooter. I cannot remember for the life of me his exact words but I do remember myself not being able to speak when he first said hello. The tears started again while he told me something like, “I can’t let the stress get to me, cutting isn’t a way to deal with problems and that he hears me and he cares.” Then he said, “I have someone here who wants to talk you.” Then halfway through him saying that, Justin grabbed the phone and I dropped to the floor asking myself is this real life. Justin grabbed the phone and said, “Hi Rachel, it’s Justin, Justin Bieber.” (Like I didn’t know haha) He asked how I was but I couldn’t answer. He said something like, “Stay strong, always be positive, I love you. You can’t be doing that to yourself. Thank you for the support and love, and we love you and you promise to stop.” I said I would never even think about it again. Then he said “Okay I have to go now but I love you and we care.” Then he gave the phone back to Scooter. Scooter said, “Rachel, I want you to promise me right now that you won’t do that again, I promised.” He then thanked me. I said back, “Thank you so much. You both mean so much to me and you have made my life.” He said, “I have to go now but send me a message with your Twitter and we are both going to tweet you.” I said bye to him and then ran to my laptop and sent Scooter the message. Then I got a tweet from Justin and my phone still hasn’t stopped with loving and caring messages from people! I went to sleep with a smile on my face and then I woke up and saw that Scooter had also tweeted me and the smile has not left my face since. Scooter is by far the most genuine person I have ever met/talked to. He cares about everyone so much and I can not thank him or Justin enough for what they did. To all the people out there who are in the same situation I was in, please remember that there is ALWAYS someone out there who cares and who is willing to listen. Justin cares about all of us no matter what and everyone will have their time sooner or later. In the meantime, stay positive and keep supporting him and your time will come! This smile on my face has not left and I don’t think it ever will. Thank you Justin and most of all thank you Scooter! I love you so much -Rachel (@ rachelsayshii) Continued here: My name is Rachel and here is my MBE. I’ll start off by giving…
