Billy Talent- "Nothing to Lose"

This video is contains the theme of bullying and its effects. The audience is taken through a day in the life a young boy who is unpopular. The camera shows exactly how the boy sees it. We see at his locker that someone has written the message “Die Loser Die”. In class he is ignored and the audience sees his diary and a picture of a car that he has drawn. The boy is later bullied by five of his peers in the hallway and they take his diary. The boy then runs to the shop class where he proceeds to commit suicide by putting a hose in the exhaust of a car and feeding it into the car. The video ends with one last glimpse at the boy’s diary and we see the picture he drew was the suicide scene. A final message appears on the screen stating “There is life beyond these walls” and an advertisement for Kids Help Phone.
