Tragic Tale of Aubrey Wyatt: A Call to End Bullying and Promote Positivity · Eye Opener Society

• 0:01
  Hey, everyone. Welcome to the Eye Opener Society. Welcome back,
• 0:06
  everyone. I am glad everybody joins us again.
• 0:09
  Hannah and I, behind the scenes, we've been busy, a lot of changes going on,
• 0:14
  and Hannah's here with us, right?
• 0:17
  Yeah, I was. There she is. I was waiting for a hi. Most people missed you because
• 0:21
  the last episode we did with Lynn Jordan from Urban Lady Prepper was a historic
• 0:26
  episode because you were not with me in the studio that day.
• 0:30
  I took a last minute trip. I needed to get away, have a long drive and I did that for myself.
• 0:36
  So it was nice, but I definitely missed it, but I can't wait to hear it.
• 0:40
  It's going to be so weird listening to like my own podcast that I was not on.
• 0:44
  Yeah. Thank you, Brittany, for stepping in. I appreciate it.
• 0:48
  Yes. Yeah, for sure. Oh, we did. We did a great episode.
• 0:52
  Um, but yeah, it's, it's nice to have you in the the
• 0:54
  studio but you're here and with you
• 0:57
  being here this is going to be another episode that's kind
• 1:00
  of taking us again in another direction because you brought
• 1:03
  up this one i did and it really
• 1:06
  kind of sparked me to bring up a
• 1:09
  lot of stuff with this episode yeah and then
• 1:12
  i had to hit the brakes real hard because i want
• 1:16
  to plan a show with our friend chris tell
• 1:19
  from twisted details podcast where we
• 1:23
  kind of collaborate on this because he does a lot of this stuff but then i'm
• 1:27
  like wow sometimes when you talk about mainstream stuff it can either get you
• 1:33
  in trouble or whatever you know it's kind of odd and i want to put the brakes
• 1:37
  on some things but i'm still going to make some solid points on this one yeah um,
• 1:43
  This one, for most of you, I'm sure if you're anywhere near social media,
• 1:47
  you probably heard the name Aubrey Wyatt.
• 1:52
  And that's what this show is really going to be about because I think she needs
• 1:57
  a voice right now because she is no longer with us.
• 2:00
  And Hannah, how did you find it? Because quite honestly, I'm on social media
• 2:05
  more than anything, but I don't look at anything mainstream.
• 2:07
  So you brought it up to me. I had no idea about any of this.
• 2:10
  Yeah. So I'm a big TikTok scroller. Most people my age are.
• 2:16
  And I just started seeing these videos like saying, you know,
• 2:21
  say her name because her mom can't.
• 2:24
  And, you know, obviously, I'm like looking through the comments.
• 2:27
  I'm clicking like the hashtags of, you know, justice for Aubrey.
• 2:31
  And, you know, the first thing pops up is suicide awareness.
• 2:36
  Wilderness and um you know
• 2:38
  from my you know experience of life and
• 2:42
  you know my own attempt i was like immediately like what
• 2:45
  happened um and you know her picture popped up
• 2:48
  and she's a 13 year old girl who is no longer here
• 2:51
  and it just immediately just took
• 2:54
  me in um and you know my heart just broke and sunk in that moment and i just
• 3:00
  was clicking everything and anything just to you know figure out what broke
• 3:05
  this little girl like what happened to this little girl so it was just something
• 3:09
  that you know when I brought it up to you I was like I have to do something like I have to.
• 3:15
  Get her name out there. Like I want people to say her name. Yes.
• 3:18
  And I, I felt the exact same way. Cause when I started reading through the story,
• 3:22
  um, I was like, it brought me back to our episode.
• 3:26
  It reminded me a lot of you. And I said, the thing, the biggest difference here
• 3:31
  is you are here and here's a 13 year old girl who is not, and it's heartbreaking.
• 3:37
  It really is. What's even more heartbreaking is story behind it because Because
• 3:42
  stuff like this could be so preventable.
• 3:46
  And we're going to get into a lot of it. But I'm leaving a lot of this mainstream
• 3:51
  social media stuff out of this episode, at least for now. Because there's a lot of backstories.
• 3:56
  There's a lot going on with her mother just trying to get her daughter's being
• 4:00
  a voice for her daughter. But she can't because she's under a gag order.
• 4:03
  And they shut down all of her social media due to lawsuits and all.
• 4:07
  So we're not inclined to sit here and comment on any of that.
• 4:12
  But I will say this, Aubrey Wyatt, she was 13 years old.
• 4:19
  She survived by a brother and a sister. She was an eighth grader.
• 4:25
  And so she was in middle school in Mississippi, this was.
• 4:32
  So that's just a very small, small touch of her background.
• 4:36
  Around but the biggest thing about her she's leaving a real mark on social media
• 4:42
  through her mom who really you know as a mother would i mean i don't know how
• 4:48
  anybody would react you know everybody's going to have their different way of
• 4:52
  reacting and if i mean if you're losing,
• 4:55
  one of your children honestly how do you handle it you know and there's just
• 5:00
  no way and everybody's going to do it differently yeah with her mom you know
• 5:04
  like the post that you know
• 5:05
  she has like that are still up um as far
• 5:09
  as like keeping going i just feel like keeping
• 5:12
  aubrey's name alive and you
• 5:15
  know keeping on for her siblings like her other children is what's keeping her
• 5:19
  going at this point in time yeah and i think with our episode again i want aubrey
• 5:26
  wyatt i want that name to be remembered and heard and it's just one name and
• 5:32
  i'm sure there's thousands and upon thousands of other names out there.
• 5:35
  But, you know, the main thing is we need to stop this. Now, I was just talking
• 5:40
  to you off the air just before we went live.
• 5:43
  We were talking about our demographic. As far as who is listening to this podcast.
• 5:48
  If there's anybody within that age range, you know, if you're around,
• 5:53
  you know, 13 through 17, say, you know, just listen to us.
• 6:00
  Hear what we say.
• 6:02
  Because a lot of this is going to be important because in the coming months,
• 6:06
  our podcast is going to focus a lot more on positivity and trying to stay away from this negative.
• 6:13
  And I think we have this very big anti-bullying, you know, campaign behind it
• 6:19
  too, because this is a lot of the reason why,
• 6:23
  as far as we know, why Aubrey Wyatt decided to end her life because it is constant tormenting.
• 6:31
  And for someone 13 years old and how old
• 6:35
  were you when you went through i forget 16 so you
• 6:38
  really were not that far off yeah i mean i
• 6:41
  was going through bullying when i was her age but my
• 6:44
  attempt was when i was 16 so so it took you a little bit longer and you survive
• 6:50
  long enough but sometimes that builds up even more yeah through those years
• 6:54
  and when you're young 13 there's so much going on And so much that you just don't understand yet,
• 7:01
  you know, and it's tough because right around 13,
• 7:06
  that's, that's kind of your first taste. I'm a teenager.
• 7:10
  I'm going to start trying to do adult things, but these again are adult things.
• 7:14
  You're subjected to a lot more adult things, your peers, everybody else around
• 7:20
  you, and you're so desperate to try and fit in and you want to join certain
• 7:25
  clicks and all. I get it. We've all been through that.
• 7:29
  Not everybody can handle it the same way and we need to be careful.
• 7:34
  Um, just exactly what it is we want. I think you got to remember you're 13,
• 7:39
  you're 14, you're 15, you're 16.
• 7:41
  You need to enjoy your life.
• 7:45
  Uh, take steps to enjoy it rather than trying to always try to fit in,
• 7:50
  be yourself. There's nothing wrong with being yourself.
• 7:53
  And the other side to that is, yes, there's going to be peer pressure.
• 7:57
  There's going to be idiots.
• 8:00
  There's going to be a lot of negativity. There's going to be people trying to
• 8:03
  press you into doing the wrong things.
• 8:06
  So the pressure is on you. We get that.
• 8:09
  And it takes a lot to start to understand and try to realize that some of this is not good,
• 8:17
  i'm hope i'm saying it right because i think the real problem
• 8:20
  here sometimes is parenting and i'm just going to call that right out 13 a lot
• 8:25
  of times you don't want to connect with your parents you know it's your first
• 8:28
  time wanting to be you know a little bit more of an adult maybe not 13 but you
• 8:32
  know definitely around 14 to 16 i would say um and there's you know and i get
• 8:37
  it you're You're going to rebel.
• 8:38
  I was a big rebel. Yeah, believe me, I really was.
• 8:43
  But you do you. You're going to be raised, hopefully the correct way.
• 8:50
  And raising kids to bully other kids or to make fun of other kids.
• 8:59
  This is the kind of shit that needs to stop.
• 9:03
  And it needs to stop now. Now, because how many other people are going to,
• 9:08
  you know, make that decision where they want to end their life because of your
• 9:14
  kid and how long before your kid might feel regret over that and then want to take their own life.
• 9:22
  I mean, who wants to go through this by just saying I'm better than somebody
• 9:27
  else or my clothes are better than yours or I look better than somebody else.
• 9:32
  My weight's better than yours.
• 9:36
  And it's been a long time for me obviously i've been around here
• 9:39
  longer so i i had
• 9:42
  a different upbringing a different kind of
• 9:45
  set of social norms i think back then we made
• 9:49
  fun of each other but we knew how to handle it um but i always mentioned we
• 9:54
  did have groups and we always had that person that we didn't like but we let
• 9:58
  them be in our group regardless it was just one of those things We still allowed
• 10:04
  it because there was a certain amount of acceptance,
• 10:08
  but things have changed incredibly.
• 10:11
  And it's this stupid fucking social media.
• 10:15
  This where we're so connected to it that somehow we reflect ourselves through it.
• 10:23
  I'm losing train of thought like because there's just so much so much I don't
• 10:27
  understand because I mean I went through the entire generation from its start
• 10:31
  to its you know to where it is now and I don't see it getting any better.
• 10:36
  I don't see where, you know, social media is going to get better or where it's going to change.
• 10:42
  But it's trying also now, like when you look at Aubrey Wyatt's mom using social
• 10:48
  media as a way to try and stop this or to call it out.
• 10:54
  And grieve. And grieve.
• 10:57
  And then that gets stopped. But all the bullying remains.
• 11:01
  Yeah. She gets silenced. Yeah. How is that right? Right.
• 11:05
  I, there's literally stuff criminal going on, on the internet,
• 11:09
  on social media, and it's not even, no one even blinks an eye over it.
• 11:14
  But yeah, when you're trying to stand up and you're trying to stop bullying,
• 11:19
  or you're trying to grieve over a suicide and make awareness for it,
• 11:24
  and then you get a gag order.
• 11:26
  Now, like I said, I'm not going to comment on much of this because a lot of
• 11:29
  this, again, I don't know.
• 11:31
  And if I don't know, I don't want to say the wrong thing.
• 11:34
  I'm not here to, you know, pass judgment. I'm not here to, you know,
• 11:38
  this is just based upon what, you know, I read.
• 11:41
  But again, it falls back to social media. It's a social media issue.
• 11:45
  It's a generational issue. It's so easy for kids just to hide behind screens
• 11:51
  and twiddle their thumbs and just put the words out there.
• 11:54
  You know, when I, when I was growing up, you know, social media did have a big
• 11:59
  part of my bullying as well.
• 12:00
  But when I learned about social media, Like when my generation learned about social media,
• 12:05
  it was stressed into our brains that once it's out there, it's out there,
• 12:10
  you know, and that's just something that I feel like isn't bashed into children's brains nowadays.
• 12:19
  They just think that they can say what they want and then they delete it and
• 12:22
  it just gets taken back. That's not how it works.
• 12:25
  You know, you read it and millions of other people read it. And then just because
• 12:28
  you deleted it, oh, well, someone who wants to be a jokester is going to repeat the same thing.
• 12:33
  It's just a continuous cycle that...
• 12:37
  Brainwashes somebody with, you know, mental, maybe Aubrey, like we're not speculating
• 12:43
  anything, but maybe Aubrey had some type of mental, something going on where,
• 12:47
  you know, she could have had anxiety and she couldn't handle it.
• 12:49
  So, you know, she's getting fed all of this hate and bullying and it's maybe
• 12:54
  she's someone who was like, who's like me, you know, maybe she was someone who
• 12:59
  was like me that it just suffocated her brain.
• 13:02
  And that is the power of social media and the power of words that parents are
• 13:09
  allowing their children to sit there and say about other kids.
• 13:15
  And who knows? Maybe the parents didn't know.
• 13:17
  I don't know. Like we said, we're not getting into it too much. It's speculation.
• 13:21
  Maybe we'll know more when more comes out about it.
• 13:24
  And I don't want to cut you off, but on that note, maybe the parents didn't
• 13:28
  know. Well, that's your fault.
• 13:30
  That's what I was getting to. That is their fault because Because you need,
• 13:34
  as a parent, you don't just hand your child a cell phone or a laptop or an iPad
• 13:39
  or whatever the hell it is and just free reign them.
• 13:43
  There's parental controls for a reason. There is limited screen time for a reason.
• 13:49
  And I'm not telling you how to parent.
• 13:52
  But if you're not going to monitor what your child is saying to another child
• 13:57
  or another human being, then you're doing it completely fucking wrong.
• 14:01
  And I'm going to tell you that straight up because this little girl is no longer
• 14:07
  here because there were parents out there not watching what their fucking kids were saying to people.
• 14:12
  And I'm sorry, I'm going to be heated this entire podcast because this is a
• 14:17
  child who lost her life last year in September.
• 14:20
  And she is no longer here she
• 14:23
  would be i think if i'm getting her birthday right she
• 14:26
  would be 14 right now she would be entering into high school
• 14:29
  soon yeah this this coming
• 14:32
  summer like fall she would be entering high school
• 14:35
  for the first time she will never get her first homecoming dance she
• 14:39
  will never go to prom her mother was
• 14:42
  ripped away from those special moments due
• 14:45
  to other their parents negligence on watching what
• 14:48
  the fuck their kids were saying and you
• 14:52
  have every right to be fired up over this because i am
• 14:55
  too because no matter how i look at it you know i i don't even like to use the
• 15:00
  word stepdaughter anymore which are you way closer to me more than anything
• 15:03
  else and i think the same thing too like you probably could not be here right
• 15:10
  now because of the same And also, listen,
• 15:13
  who knows what else was going on in Aubrey's head, even with the bullying.
• 15:21
  Aside from that, who knows what was going on?
• 15:24
  Maybe there was something else going on and couldn't speak out or whatever it may be.
• 15:29
  The tragedy of it is the fact that
• 15:32
  whatever was bothering her so much was
• 15:36
  example you know was so she was pushed over the edge by these idiotic nonsense
• 15:43
  that young kids think they're so much better than everybody else and that's
• 15:49
  that is that's a parenting issue and like i said this is generational.
• 15:55
  I, you know, I could sit and say, I was mad at my parents the whole time for
• 15:59
  always being in my stuff and all, but they were doing what they felt was right.
• 16:04
  And they were keeping on top of me. And I can't say that that's a bad thing.
• 16:08
  It's not a bad thing because look at me.
• 16:10
  My mom literally watched every single thing I posted on any type of social media.
• 16:15
  My mom had my passwords to my aim, my AOL, like my email, like my mom had everything
• 16:21
  because she, and if I I posted something that was even remotely aggressive.
• 16:26
  My mom was on my ass. Like you better delete that and you better fucking apologize.
• 16:29
  You know, it's so old timey to say this, but you know.
• 16:34
  My mom always said like, like, you know, that saying that people say like sticks
• 16:38
  and stones may break my bone, you know, break your bones, but words will never hurt.
• 16:42
  But my mom's like, that's bullshit because words do hurt. Words push people over the edge.
• 16:47
  And that was embedded in my brain. And like I said, even when I remotely would
• 16:51
  be rude to someone, even if they were being rude to me first,
• 16:54
  my mom was like, cut that shit out because my mom watched and she didn't allow
• 16:57
  me to become a bully because I was being bullied.
• 17:02
  Right. My bad. Exactly. But we really need to start watching because you could
• 17:10
  say, well, even before the internet people were doing this, you're absolutely right.
• 17:15
  They were. But the thing is right now, the accessibility to go further.
• 17:23
  It was one thing to go into school.
• 17:25
  You could, you know, at times you were within a group, like in a playground
• 17:29
  or something, and you could be bullied. But then it was just small doses,
• 17:34
  not saying that it's correct or anything.
• 17:37
  But I really feel for some reason that this social media has given so much more
• 17:44
  access straight into the personal lives of people that it's getting out of hand.
• 17:52
  And you're literally, it's no different than giving somebody access to,
• 17:57
  you know, your front door and allowing them in inside of your life at all times.
• 18:04
  And that's where I feel suicide is growing.
• 18:09
  The bullying is growing all because of this social media, this internet,
• 18:16
  this, you know, it stems from this. I really, it stems from this.
• 18:21
  I'm sure there's other things, but I'm just trying to look at it generationally.
• 18:26
  Yes, we can use internet for good. We could use a lot of things for good,
• 18:32
  but us as humans, we keep finding ways to weaponize everything instead of using it for good.
• 18:39
  I've learned that I don't like Facebook. However, I can actually use it to my benefit.
• 18:45
  There's ways around it. There's ways to shut things out. But with the social
• 18:49
  media now, for somebody who is so young and not really thinking as an adult.
• 18:58
  Yeah, you're going to wind up thinking incorrectly and then having people on
• 19:07
  top of you all the time judging you, pointing things out to you.
• 19:10
  You're fat, you're too thin, you're not wearing the right clothes,
• 19:14
  you know, you smell all these childish things.
• 19:18
  And as adults, we seem, it seems innocent, but when it's constant and it's always there,
• 19:24
  every time you log in, cause now, I mean, you got to log into everything,
• 19:27
  even for schoolwork now and all people have access and look,
• 19:32
  and aside from the suicide suicide, kidnapping.
• 19:37
  It's so much more easier. You know, this entire sex trade, it's all done through
• 19:44
  luring people that, you know, young children, because they just don't have the,
• 19:50
  you know, common sense yet.
• 19:52
  And they're being manipulated and they're being kidnapped and all.
• 19:55
  And that's what I'm saying. If you're a parent and you're not aware of what
• 19:59
  your kid is doing on the internet, well, shame on you.
• 20:04
  I don't want this stuff to happen to you. As a matter of fact,
• 20:06
  I don't want it to happen to anyone.
• 20:09
  And hopefully, I mean, we're just a stupid podcast, you know,
• 20:13
  but we need to get this word out and we need to all look out for each other.
• 20:21
  We need to look out for other kids. If we see a child being followed by somebody
• 20:25
  that doesn't look right say something do something we just become a nation where
• 20:29
  we just whip out our cell phones and videotape somebody being kidnapped yeah
• 20:32
  and that's it nobody steps in nobody helps,
• 20:35
  yeah we might have video footage of it but but the child's gone,
• 20:41
  it's become a very frightening world and people like uh aubrey wyatt.
• 20:49
  Their name is going to, you know, hopefully change things, you would hope.
• 20:56
  Yeah, I mean, I hope that people would, you know, once this story reaches people,
• 21:01
  I hope that they would take a step back. And, you know, if they see that their
• 21:04
  child is, you know, struggling, you know, get them the help they need.
• 21:08
  Don't stop fighting and fighting and fighting. if the school doesn't want to
• 21:12
  listen, you go to your state senator.
• 21:14
  You take it to where it needs to be to prevent what happened with Aubrey to happen to your child.
• 21:21
  Or if you see that your child is, you know, even if it's something small where
• 21:27
  you hear your child making a dig at your friend or at their friend or something
• 21:31
  like that, that's a sign that if they're doing that to their friend,
• 21:35
  that they're easily going to do it to somebody that they don't like.
• 21:39
  So you need to to watch that and you need to correct that. We need to,
• 21:43
  as a society, especially as parents, to teach our children to be kind and that
• 21:49
  it's okay for kids to be different. It's okay for kids to wear glasses.
• 21:53
  It's okay for kids to have messed up teeth. It's okay for kids to be skinny or chunky.
• 21:58
  Everyone is made in their own way. Some people have medical conditions.
• 22:04
  It's okay to be different. If we were all the same, the world would be so boring.
• 22:09
  We are made the way that we are supposed to be made.
• 22:12
  And it's time for parents to stop showing their children reactions to different
• 22:22
  types of people because that is what creates bullies.
• 22:27
  Children notice everything. They hear and respond to things more than people realize.
• 22:34
  I have a two and a half year old and we have said stuff, you know,
• 22:39
  and we're like, then we'll hear Kate and repeating it right after us.
• 22:42
  And I'm just like, Oh crap.
• 22:44
  You know? And then, you know, luckily he's at that age where he will forget,
• 22:47
  but you know, when he, I try my best to filter myself already,
• 22:53
  even when my child's two and a half,
• 22:55
  because, you know, sooner, you know, it's coming up soon that he's going to
• 22:58
  start remembering words.
• 22:59
  He's going to start remembering, Remembering, oh, mom said that person is this
• 23:03
  or mom said that person is that, you know, out of anger. Sometimes I'm like, oh, God, what a bitch.
• 23:08
  You know, I'm not going to do that because that opens my child's mind up to
• 23:12
  that vocabulary to think that it's okay to use that towards other people that
• 23:16
  he might just not vibe with, you know, and that's okay.
• 23:20
  I'm not saying that you have to like everybody, but if you don't have anything
• 23:23
  nice to say, don't fucking say it at all.
• 23:26
  It's a very simple concept. Yes, you do have a right to not like somebody.
• 23:30
  And that's all good and well. That's how we decide, you know,
• 23:33
  who's right for us, who's wrong. There's energies based off of that.
• 23:37
  But yeah, just because we don't like someone doesn't mean we need to wish harm
• 23:43
  on them or wish ill upon them or badger them or drive them to the point where
• 23:49
  it's so overwhelming that they decide to take their own life.
• 23:54
  We don't know what's going on in people's heads. And just speaking of that,
• 23:58
  anybody who is listening to us right now, if you do have any of these thoughts,
• 24:04
  listen, Hannah and I, we're not therapists or anything like that.
• 24:07
  Please, what I really like is two things.
• 24:10
  If you really do feel like harming yourself, you can call 911 and do so.
• 24:14
  So, um, but if you do want somebody to talk to one of the greatest things I
• 24:18
  set up, instead of having a long phone number, you can dial nine eight,
• 24:23
  eight for help. All right. Nine eight, eight.
• 24:26
  Or if you don't feel like talking, cause a lot of people don't feel comfortable
• 24:29
  talking and we're so used to, you know, texting, you could contact nine eight, eight lifeline.org.
• 24:38
  And then you could chat. All right. But please keep that number,
• 24:42
  988, if you are feeling like harming yourself or if you have any kind of thoughts
• 24:47
  or you just need somebody to talk to because everybody does.
• 24:50
  We all wind up at some point feeling hurt.
• 24:53
  Bad about ourselves. We don't feel comfortable with ourselves.
• 24:57
  Um, sometimes we feel life is just so overwhelming.
• 25:01
  Yes. And because of Aubrey, why, and because of this, um, episode that we're
• 25:06
  doing, Hannah and I, we're going to take some time because I open a society
• 25:10
  does deal a lot with life, but it's a spiritual, you know, podcast as well.
• 25:16
  And we're going to focus a lot more on positivity In the coming months,
• 25:22
  we're going to have certain episodes dedicated to specific things,
• 25:25
  you know, that are more positive, things that are going to uplift you because
• 25:29
  I don't think that there's enough of that.
• 25:32
  And Hannah, you're the perfect person, spokesperson for this.
• 25:36
  You've lived through it and you lived.
• 25:39
  And, you know, that's a very strong statement because not everybody has.
• 25:44
  Aubrey Wyatt did not.
• 25:46
  I get choked up talking about her because it makes me think if I knew her,
• 25:51
  how much I would not allow her to give up.
• 25:56
  If I knew her, I would hug her and just tell her I made it. I made it through
• 26:02
  it. I'm going through it.
• 26:05
  You can do it. You know what I mean? And it's just like, I like,
• 26:09
  I know I would probably have never met her in my life.
• 26:12
  You know what I mean? But it's just like, it gets me choked up because it's
• 26:15
  like, if I could have, you know, I don't like to think about the what ifs.
• 26:19
  But when I see a story about a little girl who went through something that I
• 26:25
  did with bullying being so bad, especially with the social media,
• 26:28
  it just like pulls my heartstring so far.
• 26:31
  Because if I would have known her, like, you know, who knows,
• 26:36
  you know, I could have told her my story and been like, you're going to go through it.
• 26:40
  You're going to, it's going to be hard, but you're going to get through it.
• 26:45
  It's hard. It is. But the thing is, right now, we have a voice.
• 26:49
  We have a small platform.
• 26:52
  Hopefully, someone hears this as well. You're not alone.
• 26:56
  You're really not. There's always somebody thinking. We did this show specifically
• 27:01
  for parents because I really feel that's where it all starts.
• 27:08
  We're doing it for the bullies and you need to stop.
• 27:13
  And we're definitely doing it for those that did not make it,
• 27:15
  those that felt so overwhelmed that they had to take their own lives.
• 27:19
  We'll be a voice for them.
• 27:21
  We'll stand up for them. We'll stand up for everyone between Aubrey Wyatt and anybody else.
• 27:29
  You can message us on Facebook. You can send an email, theeyeopenersociety at gmail.com.
• 27:37
  If you just want to chat about something, tell us a story, tell us about your
• 27:42
  life, whatever it may be.
• 27:44
  But again, if you're really, really feeling depressed and if you really need
• 27:48
  help, dial 988 or 911 if it's that much of an emergency. or you can use the chat 988 lifeline.org.
• 27:59
  Um, we're going, like I said, we are going to use Aubrey Wyatt as a catalyst
• 28:06
  for our future episodes to change things up a little bit, to be more uplifting,
• 28:11
  to teach you more about positivity,
• 28:13
  to show you that you're good.
• 28:16
  You're perfect you're fine the way you are everybody
• 28:20
  wants to change you know and you
• 28:23
  can that's not a problem but it's got to be done
• 28:26
  the right way and it's got to be because you want to not because you're being
• 28:29
  influenced or people are bullying you yeah you know we're going to give you
• 28:33
  a little more strength some more understanding behind you like i said our demographics
• 28:38
  we probably don't have a whole lot but parents listen to us you know maybe you do have.
• 28:45
  Sons or daughters, you know, that need to hear some things, let them listen,
• 28:52
  you know, listen to our podcast first before you let them listen.
• 28:55
  You know, I do drop F-bombs a lot. Yeah, we do.
• 28:58
  But you know, you decide what they're going to listen to, but listen to it.
• 29:02
  Maybe we say something that you could pass on to them.
• 29:05
  Again, we're just regular people, no PhDs,
• 29:09
  nothing but this affects us because
• 29:11
  some of us like hannah has been through it and
• 29:15
  me as a stepdad seen it so
• 29:19
  it does it it brings up big emotions and
• 29:23
  we need to do something about it and since we have a podcast gives us a small
• 29:27
  platform hannah and i both have voices and we're going to use them i will not
• 29:32
  stop using my voice for that little girl absolutely i will not i will continue
• 29:36
  to Just scream her name until justice is served for her because that's what
• 29:39
  she deserves. That's what her family deserves.
• 29:42
  Yeah. A little bit of closure, something, anything.
• 29:45
  She definitely needs it. The
• 29:47
  family needs it. She was a beautiful young girl and it reminds me of me.
• 29:52
  And I think that's why it touches me so much is because I look at her and the
• 29:57
  first thing I thought of was she was so beautiful and that's why people hated her so much.
• 30:02
  Yeah. And that's the fucking problem with today's society. It is.
• 30:07
  And not only because we do, we look, oh, this person's too beautiful.
• 30:10
  Oh, this person's too ugly.
• 30:12
  There's never a medium. It's always hatred instead of just a natural, hey, how are you?
• 30:22
  What's your name? What's your hobbies?
• 30:24
  Simple stuff like that where we can actually communicate and learn.
• 30:29
  We have so much in common because we are all on the same planet.
• 30:32
  We all come from the same universe. We're all made up from the same dust. So, damn it, listen.
• 30:38
  Yes, there's bad people. We know who they are. We know when to stay away from certain people.
• 30:43
  But when we're in these settings and if you as a parent and you're raising a
• 30:46
  kid and a kid is in school, you don't have them make fun of people.
• 30:51
  You don't have them bully people. And even if they are a bully,
• 30:55
  it's not too late to turn it around and turn them around and guide them on the
• 30:59
  right path to being a kind human being.
• 31:02
  Life is too short to sit and be rude and judge other people.
• 31:06
  You live your life for your own purpose, and your own purpose should not be
• 31:10
  to harm other people mentally, because that's what words do,
• 31:14
  and it can turn physical. call can.
• 31:17
  And I'm hoping this reached somebody hopefully, um, that needs to hear it.
• 31:23
  But Hannah and I, we are going to continue speaking about this stuff.
• 31:28
  We're going to continue speaking out against bullying.
• 31:31
  We're going to champion this entire anti-suicide where we just want people to
• 31:36
  understand, to be happy with themselves.
• 31:39
  So again, if you need help immediately, then dial 911.
• 31:43
  If If you need help, dial 988, all right?
• 31:48
  And again, if you don't feel like talking to anybody and you'd rather chat.
• 31:52
  You can text 988. Yeah, you could text 988 as well, or you can chat 988lifeline.org, all right?
• 32:01
  And I'm going to make it a point to put it on our website. I'm not even going to give out our website.
• 32:05
  I'm going to use the name Aubrey Wyatt again in its place.
• 32:09
  And again, if you need help, try and get help now. now immediately before it gets too late.
• 32:16
  And from here on, like I said, Hannah and I will have certain episodes that
• 32:20
  are going to be dedicated to this.
• 32:21
  Hopefully we could get something together more on this entire Aubrey Wyatt.
• 32:26
  And we're going to team up with Chris Tell from Twisted Tales Podcast,
• 32:30
  where we can actually do an episode that dives a little bit more into it.
• 32:33
  Again, we're not doing it because it's a social media thing and it's all over
• 32:37
  and we want to be part of it.
• 32:39
  We just want to do it for Aubrey because that's... She doesn't have her voice anymore.
• 32:45
  And I think everybody else should stand up and actually...
• 32:49
  Use her name say her name her mom
• 32:52
  was silenced so she can't right her social media
• 32:55
  has been shut down and like i said we're not in a
• 32:58
  place to talk about it right now so we're just going to use aubrey wyatt as
• 33:03
  the name uh hopefully you do too use hashtags anywhere you know uh find us on
• 33:09
  facebook eye opener society uh i'll start using a hashtag a little bit more
• 33:13
  too as well in the the coming weeks and stay tuned for more.
• 33:17
  And like I say, it's going to be more uplifting from here on in.
• 33:20
  I hope Hannah and I, we can hopefully help more people. I know we have,
• 33:25
  and that's what makes me feel good.
• 33:27
  And that's why when you brought this to me, I thought this was perfect for us
• 33:30
  to again, maybe help and reach somebody that needs that help or hear something
• 33:36
  positive rather than nonsense.
• 33:40
  So with that, Hannah and I, we're going to sign off on this episode and we,
• 33:44
  will join you soon because the July is over.
• 33:48
  This is the last episode of Junker Eye. I know. That's insane. It's insane.
• 33:51
  We're going to be in 2025 in a blink. In a blink. So yeah, we got a whole month
• 33:55
  of August coming up. My birthday.
• 33:58
  Yeah. It's going to be Hannah's birthday.
• 34:00
  And then Hannah's actually going to be leaving the country at the end of the
• 34:03
  month. I am. So we're going to have to cram so much in.
• 34:06
  And just on a side note too, we've been trying to get, and again,
• 34:11
  reaching out to you, the audience.
• 34:13
  If you had a life changing event, something that absolutely changed your entire
• 34:22
  perspective in life, we want to hear the story.
• 34:25
  Our email is the eye opener society at gmail.com.
• 34:30
  And if you also had a near death experience, we want to hear your story too, as well.
• 34:37
  You can remain completely anonymous if you like, You do not have to come on
• 34:41
  the podcast, but we just really want this a little bit more background because
• 34:45
  we're planning on having some episodes in the future.
• 34:48
  We were trying to do it for this episode, but we did not get enough feedback.
• 34:52
  And I really think that Aubrey Wyatt is way more important.
• 34:56
  So that's why we change things up. So reach out to us, the eye opener society at gmail.com.
• 35:02
  Tell us your stories, either a life changing event or a near death experience.
• 35:08
  And with that, we hope to hear from you soon. See ya.
