Kevin Hines Story

John Kevin Hines (born: ), better known online as Kevin Hines, is a movie maker. He is known for attempting to take his own life by jumping from the and surviving that suicide attempt. 
==Early life==
John Kevin was born on August 30, 1981, and was adopted 9 months later by Pat and Debbie Hines who were both from San Francisco. Since his early life, he was on medication due to epileptic seizures and the medicine had a positive effect on him. Throughout his teenage years, he was someone very sportive and became a football player and wrestler. At 16 years old, his prescription for his epileptic seizures were over since he didn't have seizures anymore. He was unaware that the medication he has been taking had been suppressing characteristics of bipolar disorder, and combined outside stresses impacted him as well. His parents got divorced at the time where he stopped taking these medicines. Following the extreme paranoia and the hallucinations, Kevin started having serious suicidal thoughts and so on September 24, 2000, after moving back with his father, dropped him to college, but instead was heading towards the Golden Gate Bridge.
==Suicide attempt==
Throughout the way to the Golden Gate Bridge, John Kevin described that he was hearing voices in his head telling him that he has to die. When he arrived at the bridge, he started walking on the side of the bridge for 40 minutes "tourists, runners, [...] they all went by me", described John Kevin on multiple YouTube videos where he shared his story. He also mentioned that police officers that were monitoring the Golden Gate Bridge that were looking for suicidal people went by him twice. After this, he leaned at the edge of the bridge and jumped off. Following that millisecond, John Kevin said that he instantly regretted this action and begged God to save his life and then he hit the water. He was unable to move his legs so he used his hands to go back to the surface. The rescue team saw him and he was then transported to the hospital where he stayed there for a while and then started going to therapy and he began the hashtag #BeHereTomorrow. 
==Aftermath==
Following this event, a decade later, he started featuring in media news including BuzzFeed and even in Logan Paul's YouTube channel following the Japanese suicide forest controversy in an attempt to rise awareness regarding mental health and suicide in general.
