Shane Dawson

Im Syd, and I am going to be doing little biographies on the YouTuber's of YouTube. Just people that have vlogs, random videos, music video's, ect. There are so many YouTubers on YouTube, you don't know where to begin, but I, personally, am going to start with my favorite YouTuber, Shane Dawson.

Shane isn't a "regular YouTuber" if that's what you want to call them. Shane has hundreds of videos, and a lot of them are him dressing up in different women or men costumes. Some of these costumes include; Aunt Hilda, Shanaynay, and some just random other celebrities. Shane makes spoofs, music videos, and videos that are funny, but they have a point to them.

Shane's Life:
   When Shane was a baby, before he was even born, his mother, Teresa, thought he was going to be a girl. She had all the baby stuff ready and everything. When she found out Shane was a boy, she threw all that stuff out. Ironical... he wears women cloths for videos these days... Anyways, Shane was born into his family with his mom, his dad, and his two brothers, Jared and Jacob. Shane and his brothers became really close. Shane says that was mainly because they were all scared of their dad. "He would take his anger out on my mom and us pretty much every night", Shane says. Shane says hitting them wasn't the worse part. The worse part was the words his dad said to them. Shane says he always believed him. "Even up to my twenties I thought he was right", says Shane. When Shane was nine, his dad left the family for another women. After his dad left, he didn't have any friends, so he ended up hanging out with his grandma. His grandma always made chocolate chip cookies because she said it would cure a broken heart. Shane says, "And she was right. Food made me feel a lot better, but it also made me gain a lot of weight." Shane also says, "I do remember when me and my mom would go to the movies and people would say, 'Aren't you ladies cute together?' Yeah. That didn't really help with my self-a-steam issues." Shane and his family had to move because his dad took everything when he went to go live with his new girlfriend. Including the money. They lost there house, but Shane says he was okay with it because all that stuff in that house remind him of his old, bad memories. Shane started middle school, and he met a girl that was one of the only people in his life that truly understands him. Her name was Kate, and she was half Asian, so Shane would always make fun of her, but she never made fun of him back because he had enough of that from the other kids. In High school, Shane meet a bigger group of friends. Shane says, "I wasn't very picky. I'd pretty much take what I can get." Everyone knew about Shane and his group of friends, but they called them freaks. His eleventh grade teacher gave them an assignment on dictatorship. "Me and my group made the craziest, most offensive, most insane video of all time. My teacher and the rest of my class loved it! They gave us a standing ovation! That's the first time I ever had a group of people laughing with me, not at me." At this moment, Shane chose to lose weight and pursue his dream of acting and directing in Hollywood. Shane lost 150 pounds! Before he could go to Hollywood and live out his dream, he had to save up some money. Shane's mother, Teresa, got him a job at Jenny Craig. Shane and his coworkers, including his mom, made a YouTube video together. Their boss saw the video they made and fired everyone. "He fired my mom, me, and six other people that worked there, and it was all because of me," Shane says. Shane's family was out of jobs, and they were about to lose their apartment. Right when he was thinking about giving up, they got a call from YouTube. They asked Shane if he wanted to be a partner, which meant he got to turn his hobby into a job. "It was perfect. It was exactly what I have been praying for." Shane says, "And everyday since, I thank God for letting me where wigs and tell d*ck jokes for a living". Shane was eventually able to move his family to Hollywood. He was making video's on YouTube, He was having meetings with lots of Hollywood people, and he was working on his first TV show. Then a tragedy happened. On May 4th, 2010, Shane's grandmother passed away. Shane explains, "I knew it was coming, but I didn't take it so well. I felt like nothing mattered anymore. Not YouTube, Not Hollywood, not anything. It kinda felt like a part of me died." It took Shane a long time to get back on track. "Thinking about all the kids that watched my videos made me realize that I cant give up. "I was born for this," says Shane, "And if anyone out there could relate to these f*cked up, abused, suicidal, less fortunate, confused, abandoned kids on the internet, it was me." Shane then says, "That leads me to today. I have a great family, great friends, a great girlfriend, and some really f'*cking cute animals. Best of all, I have you guys, and I love you more than you will ever know. You saved my life, and I'll never forget that. Thank you."

Shane didn't have the best life, but as you can see... we saved it. Us, his fans, saved his life. Saving his life, in a way, saved ours... If you want to check out Shane's "Draw My Life" video, where I got all the information from, go check it out: DRAW MY LIFE - Shane Dawson. Through all his videos and everything, Shane is trying to save us. Don't let go... keep moving on.
