Last year, I was going to kill myself. I wrote a note and slipped it into my best friend's locker at school. That night, I was preparing to die, when she crawled through my window and kissed me. My first real kiss.
Kristain, I know you read GivesMeHope all the time. Will you marry me?

From OMG-FACTS.com
Having sex can reduce a fever because of the sweat produced.
Sex is also a pain reliever, ten times more effective than Valium: immediately before orgasm, levels of the hormone oxytocin rise by five times, determining a huge release of endorphins. These chemicals calm pain, from a minor headache to arthritis or migraines, and with no secondary effects. Migraines also disappear because the pressure in the brain's blood vessels is lowered while we have sex. So now we see that actually, a woman's headache is rather a good reason for having sex, not against it.
*** Random LoveGivesMeHope Story *** 
Earlier in the summer I was at church and the pastors were doing announcements. During the announcements, they mentioned a couple who was celebrating their wedding anniversary. It was their 75th. The husband is 102. Every one cheered for them to kiss. They made out.

Elaine UK: I quit MLIA because of all the marriage proposals and repeat stories, and stories dedicated to the deceased. Please don't turn to them too givesmehope. They just make the site depressing.
Catface;
Not cool. This is an inspiring story. The mila's tend to be stupid, but this is truly beautiful. So Shush! XD
This is beautiful. I wish you all the best, you deserve to be happy. You givemehope =]
#42 - maybe they were seniors in high school a year ago. which would make them old enough to get married now.
makesmesmile - no thanks. they really depress me. this site Was an alternative to suicide. I want stories of hope not in my face reminders that my life sucks.
I think i'll give up. the craze has started on this site too, and it wont stop.
This is the sweetest thing! This is so much better than the ones on MLIA, because those can be really annoying. I really hope she says yes! Catface120, if you're in the US, call 1-800-273-8255 or go to yellowribbon.org For the story, very creative way to propose; it's not like MLIA people ninja-rolling out of closets or proposing over DS chat. THIS IS THE BEST PROPOSAL EVER! LGMH! LGMH!

catface - yes, sometimes this site can make you feel slightly inferior - i suffer from depression and sometimes even suicidal thoughts now and then, and sometimes seeing other people's happy endings can be triggering, but you should know by now that this site is not just to give you hope that things will be better for you, it restores faith in acceptance and people treating each other well (true love), human nature (random acts of kindness) and no loss of innocence in an age where kids seem to grow up and get jaded/act like mini adults younger and younger (cute kids). There may be stuff that is triggering due to your own insecurities/sense of self but if that is so perhaps you shouldn't be relying on it for support and should instead lookup stories of people that have been there or find a discussion forum for those in your situation. Most of the stories on here don't genuinely 'gmh' so I don't seek solace from them, they just make me go 'awwwwwhh'.
I hope you find something more stable to cling on to and give you genuine hope, take care xx
SO CUTE!!!! Better than the proposals on MLIA.. Good luck!
how wonderful! For all those people who are sceptics, then stop commenting! you are ruining the point of this story! find some other site to bother!
Agreed. I understand that proposal stories are annoying when you read them over and over again, but keep in mind that this is the FIRST proposal story here. It is not a trend until more than one person does it.
Proposal stories are not depressing. You might be single, but they also make you dream that someone will come and help you too just the way the person in this story found someone to trust and cherish.

OMG U MADE ME CRY!!!!!! WHAT DID SHE SAY!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! LOL
It's amazing how love can be found from unexpected events
I don't think an entry has ever gotten so many votes so quickly. And Kirstain, you saved a life. GMH.
aww no matter how hard things get NEVER kill urself!!! there is always someone out there tht loves u for u! did she say yes to marrying u?
For those of you who are wigging out about the content of this post, you need to understand that the purpose of this post isn't to glorify suicide as a route to happiness. This site doesn't promote that ideal at all. The purpose of GivesMeHope is to show people who are having a rough time in their life that it can turn around. Things can get better, even at the darkest of hours. This story shows other people who are considering suicide that if they can just hang in there, things could change for them as well. When I first read it, that was my initial thought, not "Oh, this is going to show a bunch of depressed teens that if they attempt suicide they'll get snogged and married within 12 months." You seem to be misinterpreting this site as a means of people rubbing the awesomeness of their lives in your face. They are merely trying to help show others like themselves that things can change.
Aren't you guys a little young? This is a really cute story and I'm sure you love each other, but even if you were seniors in high school last year (which may not even be the case), you're only what.. 18 or 19 now?
You have a whole life ahead of you, no need to get married now.
Catface said: "I want stories of hope not in my face reminders that my life sucks. I think i'll give up."
Way to be a whiny little attention-seeker, kid. If you're going to read self-centeredness into these stories, and pretend it's somehow all about you and other people rubbing it in your face-- you definitely DO need help. I hope you get some one way or another. Your posts GMH that my life doesn't suck- thanks!
my college has lockers because it's a commuter school. this could very well be a similar situation.
oh my goodness, this is so sweet. :]
seriously, this made me SCREAM out of happiness!!!!! this is the CUTEST WAY TO PROPOSE!!!!!!!!!! i really hope it works out for you guys... and #64, i disagree with you. there's really no such thing as too young. if they love each other, and they think they can make it together, then good for them! it's better than being a fourteen year old and being married off by your parents like some people do in third world countries. they have their whole lives ahead of them, and if they wanna spend it together, then that's awesome!
"there's really no such thing as too young." I agree, it's good to get your first marriage out of the way early...that way when you finish growing up and have grown apart, you'll have some time to really figure out who you are before you decide if you want to get married again.
(Go check out the statistics for divorce rates for people who marry young. It's amazingly high.)
This almost made me cry.
Ignore the cynical comments that some seem to have given. I think this is wonderful, and I truly wish the pair of you all the best in life. You GMH :')
Good one, #69. Even if you're in love and want to spend your whole lives together, whats the rush to get married? You can still love each other and spend your lives together without getting married. They're pretty young and seem to be rushing into this, even if they do love each other
Actually, most colleges have lockers somewhere on campus. They could certainly be in college.
#73.. only HORIZON uses lockers at my college. A more accurate statement would be most colleges that do have lockers, don't use them due to maintenance.
Please, OP, tell us if Kristain said yes! I hope she did, and best wishes to both of you. Suicide is never the answer to a problem.

Omg. Cuuuute!!!! Good luck! :))
best wishes to you mate. do tell us if she say YES
This is so sweet! There is no right and wrong age for marriage. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise! :-) I wish you the best of luck!
To those of you trying to rain on his/her parade.... back off! Who are you to be able to tell them if they are old enough? GOOD LUCK!! People against this proposal.... you need to read more of this website... The person who wrote this... Keep safe and positive! :-)
There are ages when people are not mentally mature enough to deal with the pressures of marriage. Teenagers are generally included. As the product of one of these sorts of marriages, complete with the girl "saving him" and all, it does not give me hope. This person needs help, not marriage. I severely hope he DID get help and doesn't threaten suicide again.
!!! that's awesome! I hope all goes well!!!
I feel that people are overlooking is the time span. We don't know how long it's been since Jay slipped that note to her. It's possible it's been six or seven years. It's possible that they have lived together for years, have kids, stable jobs, and Jay just wants to put the icing on the cake. Whatever their situation, eighteen or eighty years old, I hope the best for this couple.
It gives me hope that they love each other and were able to get through a rough time together.
I check this post AT LEAST three times a day, waiting for her response.
Even if you didn't say yes, Kristain, I hope everyone is okay and happy. If you did say yes, I wish you and Jay a long marriage and much happiness.
He's not asking her to marry him right then and there. He's asking her to marry him sometime in the future. A lot of people ask, then wait a year or two until actually getting married.
And so what about their age? Age is just a number. They could be seniors in highschool, known each since they were in diapers.
I hope she says yes, and just like Lillith15 said, I've also been checking this post everyday waiting to here what she said. good luck!
It's only been on here for four days and it's a top GMH! Way to set a record, Jay!
This is so cute! I wish you the best of luck!
And I don't think there is an issue of being "too young." I agree with #90. After reading this post, my first reaction was not that they are too young. But that this was something that happened years ago.
Guys....I know some people may not believe it, but teenagers CAN be in love!!!! Age has nothing to do with how you feel about someone!!! I've been with my boyfriend for very nearly a year and a half and I'm only 17. By the time I'm 19, we'll have been together 3 years and 3 months...and that's longer than many adults even KNOW each other before they pop the question!!! If they want to be together, let them be together and stop condemning them to divorce. You know nothing about them. You can't base everything you do in life on how much success everyone else has had doing something. And if she means enough to him for him to be happy after feeling so low as to try suicide, then she must make him very happy indeed. I'm sure many young people get divorced because they marry for the wrong reasons or rush into it. Who says he's rushing?? I applaud him and wish them both the very best life has to offer :).
This is one of the greatest GMHs. It is so touching! I love I hope they are very happy together. It is so beautiful how one person's life can save another. Its so sweet!!!!!! I hope all will have a farytale ending like theirs.
I wanna meat you in real life :( I cry every time I read this not just some tears go out I don't know why though I just cry I cryed while I wad posting this comment
I cry every time I read this
that is SOOO sweet! i almost cried reading this, it totally made my day. please update on how it goes, good luck!
its called Gives Me HOPE not "Gives Me a reason to be cynical"
since when did you need to be a particular age to be certain of your feelings?
and he isn't "glorifying suicide" he's letting people know that there are forces out there that can bring you back from feeling that low
people who feel the need to end their lives do not always need professional help
they need love
i say congrats to him
Awe, this is really nice.
But I'm not sure the best way..
I mean, she might not see it or something.
Really thoughtful tho!
well.... what did she say??? the suspense is too much to handle. please kristain or OP tell us what she said? we all want to know. I wish you both the very best no matter what. :)
OH MY GOD SHE SAID YESSS!!! unless you already told the op in person. but still Congrats
i meant to sound more exciting and put dozens of hearts that never came out. CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!! :))
Kristain, you and Jay GIVE ME HOPE!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
BEST WISHES FOR THE BOTH OF YOU!!!!
I'm so happy for you two! I can't help but cry! If you were to post updates, I would not complain...
I meant to say Jay call me
OMG! She said yes! this is so sweet!!! I keep reading this story over and over and I wish you both the best ! :D this story is really GMH
Oh, congratulations! I hope you both have a wonderful life :'D
Nice try, #115. Actual Kristain(I think) already posted her "Yes"
This is a beautiful story! Congratulations to you guys and I hope you have a wonderful life together! :) You guys GMH!!
you just made me cry.... I'm a two hundred pound metal head football player, thank you. And good luck!
Sir, if I were to meet you, I would very much like to shake my hand. Hers too. You, and Kristain, GMH.
... Lmao. Well, I screwed that up. My ability to type with my mind in overdrive and misty eyes does not give me hope, to say the least.
OH MY GOODNESS! SHE SAID YES! CONGRATULATIONS!
CongratuLations yOu 2~ ^.^ Have a hapPy lOving life and Jay,there's lots more solutions in life other than suicidal..Open up and see~ =)
ahh! I've been looking for Kristain's comment since I first saw this GMH. I made my GMH acc just to congratulate both of you, haha. Congrats and I hope your life together is full of blessings. You both GMH.
absolutely beautiful. I made an account just to commend you both. Good luck! When's the date? :)
This Gave Me Hope...more Hope than you can possibly imagine....scratch that, I think you know how I feel. :) I wish you both all the blessings in the world. And, of course, congratulations.
This is likely the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. Best wishes. Fairytale romances GMH.
aww! that's so sweet! everytime I hear the word suicide I get really sad. So people like her GMH!
omg!!! that's so sweet!!! I'm crying right now and I'm only 11 (don't tell, not about me,)! u guys have a really good life 2gether and people who find this crap, go jump in a lake.
All I can say is....Thank you, this GMH
This definately GMH. tears are welling up. this is a most beautiful age to propose.
"Speak your mind, but please be respectful" Some people are forgetting this.
you hav wonderful proposing skills. unlike my friend. he's horrible at it. it's kind of sad..
i read ths after reading the second part, i was so taken back! i felt like i read the end of a book before i even started it, and i balled anyway! this is the mpst heartfelt thing that i hav ever read! it makes me ball every time! i read it iver and over again!
Oh my gosh! This is already #7 on the whole website!
omg that is very inventive! if only u can email a wedding ring
I just read the one where you anounce your engament congratulations I hope you both live long happy fruitful lives.
awhh! and i just read your other one you wrote that said she said yes! congrats!!!
That's so sweet! Did she say yes?
Ignore all the cynical and rude comments- My mom and dad got married just out of high school (and I was at their wedding!) and they're still together 16 years later, and they love each other very much.
Many old people rush into marriage and screw that up too. My husband and I only dated for 6 months and we are happily married. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. Oh and my parents? Got engaged before they even dated via the mail in the vietnam war. How long have they been together? 45 YEARS. So really, just because you are cynical grandpa, does not mean things cannot work out for others.
that is the sweetest thing i have ever seen done.
Wow! I hope that she says yes, and that you guys have a great life together.
I made an account on this website just to say that I almost cried when i read that over what the little girl said. And God bless you
oh my gosh! how sweet is that!
oh my gosh! how sweet is that!
i hope to the people in the high heavens that she has said yes and you both live (and love) happily ever after
ps best of luck
WOW! Never seen so much posts! Hope she says yes! :D
has she accepted your proposal yet?
This is the Sweetest thing in the world!!
she already said yes!!!!!
She said yes on another GMH
I just went through my favorite GMH's and this is my #1 love it, as in, read-it-all-the-time-and-swoon-like-I've-read-it-once, kind of love it. Seriously. That girl better marry you.
I really hope u guys will marry!!
oh my gawd that is sooooo sweet
oh my gosh! this is the sweetest thing i have ever heard! i hope you guys are happy together!
did she say yes??? i bet she did :D
Aww! I hope you guys have a great ending.
This is amazing. Love each other to dead, till death!
