Jefferson County Public Schools temporarily shut down student access to Twitter and YouTube after learning of Yates' passing and the video she made.

Louisville Male High School in Louisville, Ky., is mourning the death of student Maddie Yates, who committed suicide after posting a heartbreaking video explaining her decision to YouTube.

Yates and two friends visited Berrier's grave on April 12, the anniversary of her death, just days before Yates took her own life.

She was planning to participate in a fundraising walk to raise money and awareness for suicide prevention in memory of her friend, Brianna Berrier , who also committed suicide almost exactly one year before Yates' passing.

In the above video, she encourages kids to be accepting of others and preaches the importance of staying strong and optimistic.

These videos exist in stark contrast to Yates' final video, simply entitled "Important," where she speaks emotionally of her love for others and declares herself "not a good person."

The video is a heart-shattering look into her struggle with depression and anxiety. On her decision to commit suicide, she said, "I just don't see how this is a bad idea," and described it as the difference between deciding to jump from a burning building or staying in it and dying "a slow, excruciating death."

"I've been like this for so long," she said, "and there's still a chance that the worst day might be coming."
