Dear 16-year-old Me

...








Ik wou dat ik deze ...

Ik wou dat ik deze campagne had gekend toen ik 16 was...Ik ben één van die gelukkige die het WEL heeft gehaald en op tijd was! En jij? kan jij iemand die 16 j. is? Je kan het maar beter vroeg genoeg doorgeven!

My sis has it. ...

My sis has it. Found out to late stage 4 now. Please people get checked. She only been aware of it for less than a year.

k, first of all, ...

k, first of all, calm your shit. i said THE VIDEO was funny. NOT people dying. i get all teary eyed and stuff when those two women talk about the one that died. ive had family member die from cancer too. im sure parts of it were meant to be funny. just fuck off.

haha this video is ...

haha this video is hilarious

Yeah? Is it? Is it ...

Yeah? Is it? Is it hilarious that my own cousin died from melanoma 3 months ago? Is it hilarious that she died right before prom and couldn't even graduate with her high school class? How about you think before you speak. How about you THINK about who might read your ignorant comment. I didn't only lose my cousin, I lost my best friend. So no, no this is not hilarious.

Yeah but parts of ...

Yeah but parts of your eyes and the palms of your hands and feet are not. Keep an eye on those parts. Depending on how dark you are, you have a natural sunscreen of like 9-30 SPF so a broad spectrum SPF 15 will usually do. Don't forget to reapply! Ps. Its often less obvious but you skin will age regardless of skin color. Protection from the sun will slow this down :-)

Yeah... You may ...

Yeah... You may have a lot less chance to get it... But a higher chance of only detecting it in an advanced staged and dying from it. So do get checked every now and then. Please.

Such an inspiring ...

Such an inspiring and moving video. :) Thanks! A very touching video for those who has it or any other types of disease.

Dear 16-years old ...

Dear 16-years old me, please don't make that lower-back tribal tattoo.

It's not just by ...

It's not just by the way it looks. They find out if you're positive by testing the cells themselves to see if they are cancerous. It has to be in person. P.S. I'm from a third world country and some of the doctors there are the best in the world.

please grow up

please grow up

Like gingers don't have enough problems... LOL!

I've had so many bad sunburns I must be at like 99% risk of getting skin cancer if I don't already have it.

you still need sunscreen. i'm very dark skinned and i drown myself in it 9 months out of the year. anyone can get skin cancer.
