Adam's Letter - A cry for help from a lonely teen

 

Adam Krieger was an average student just trying to get by. More than half his classmates never knew his name, but he knew them all. Every wrong ever done to him was made public for all to see when he posted his suicide note on a website.

"Adam's Letter" is a fictional play by John Cosper. It deals with teen suicide, depression, sex, drugs, peer pressure, pregnancy, but most of all it cries out for what Adam needed most: love.

"Adam's Legacy" is a companion play that zooms in on one student impacted by Adam and how it changed her family.

 These plays can be performed together or separate in schools, churches, or where ever you can find a stage. They are also available for filmmakers, and both scripts are totally free.

Adam's Song by Blink 182 

Despite Internet rumors, this song was not inspired by Adam Krieger. (The play was written after the song's release.) Neither was the play written in response to the song. But the song still has something important to anyone whoever felt like Adam.

A Teen's (Ficticious) Suicide Letter

READ MY DESCRIPTION****** So it turns out the whole Adam' Song was about Adam Krieger is completely false. There is no connection. www.adamsletter.com was recently updated to make it clear. However, the whole message behind this stands. This note is written beautifully and in such a way that we might be able to understand a small portion of what is going on inside the minds of these types of people and possibly save some lives. ****But what I really do not like about all this .....if this (a SINGLE person's) note was real, it would have more of an impact on people. But seeing a fake note and only reading statistics of literally THOUSANDS who take their life away every day because of relatively the same problems, we do not flinch. What has become of ourselves? We are so unmotivated and stone-cold. We live in a society where showing visible emotion is seen as one being weak. We're destroying ourselves. This is how the world ends...

Adam's Letter Movie 

A high school group is now in production on a film version of Adam's Letter. Details are still coming, but we hope to have the movie posted online when it is complete. The students are hoping to get permission to use "Adam's Song" by Blink 182 in the film. If anyone can get them in contact with the band regarding rights to use the song, please email me!

Friends of Adam speak out 

If you have been touched by this play, or have a reaction to share, please post it here. We'd love to hear from you.

hey adam,

All though we have never met.
And though ive only recently learned the true meaning of Adam's Song,
I wish I had known you.
I wish I could have been the person who
made you feel a little bit better about life.
I wish i could've made some sort of diffrence to you.
To make you change your mind.
But Adam,
You could've been a friend to some one.
You could've been a husband, an uncle, a grandfather, a counsler, you could've been anything.
anything you wanted.
you could've shown all those evil people who hurt you that... you were indeed better than them
i cried for you today.
and though we have never met.
I probably will never forget you.

Hello, i'm sorry Adam, i feel your pain but right now you are in a better place. hopefully one day i could join you, but i haven't found the time yet.

"Tomorrow holds such better days, days when i can feel alive, when i cant wait to go outside, the world is wide, the time goes by, the tour is over and i'd survive."

it is very sad that Adam couldn't find his place in this world... even if he made us all think about problems like his, he died in vain... he had at least one friend, and this is why his life could be wonderful... feeling lonely or being lonely is very difficult to live with, but don't give up... I'm sure there is someone in the world who will understand you and will want to be your friend... keep holding on... you are not alone...
