WATCH: Before Dying, Amber Had A Message: Don't Kill Yourself
"It's just going to make your life even worse because you won't be alive," she said in the video. The N.J. teen died Thursday in a crash.

Amber Mohr didn’t like death. So much so that she made a video about it.
In videos and on social media, it was almost a mission. “Whatever you, don’t commit suicide,” the teen said in one clip.
“It’s just going to make your life even worse because you won’t be alive,” she said in the video (see below), which she made when she was in eighth grade. “See what your adult life would be like.”

Amber was 17 when she died Thursday, killed in a car wreck off I-195 after hitting a tree in Monmouth County. But she left a legacy of selflessness at her young age, using her social media platforms to tell people: Stop bullying. Don’t kill yourself.
Her parents and her friends paid tribute to that legacy in loving messages that have filled their Facebook pages over the past week.

“I have tried to live my life being a giving person. I have never expected anything in return.. Ever. God has given me the most Amazing Friends... A Wonderful community.... And most of all A Beautiful family,” wrote her mother, Jennifer Skolar, of Hamilton.
“All of whom have been there for me from the minute my nightmare came to life. I cannot even begin to express the love I have for everyone of you... I am eternally grateful.”
Amber was driving a Toyota Camry east on I-195 when her car went off the road, according to the State Police. Witnesses said she was driving in the left lane and veered toward the median before pulling back and off the road.
One car was involved; the Hamilton girl died at the scene, according to the State Police.
In the days - and months - leading up to Thursday, Amber was fond of posting messages that showed her spirit, and a desire to inspire others.
“My personality is who I am and my attitude depends on who you are,” she posted in one photo.
“I’m so blessed to have good and responsible father,” she posted in another, referring to her father, Gregg Mohr.
Her mother posted the video, entitled “STOP BULLYING,” noting that “I just realized my kid was more amazing and wonderful than I knew.”
In the video, Amber mixes humor with seriousness in the video, noting that she and her brother were victims of bullying.
She suggested talking to people, even if it means talking to your pets. “I know that sound crazy,” she said.
“There are so many things you can do to help you,” she said. “Whatever you do, don’t commit suicide.”
Here is the video, and below that are two tributes her mother paid to her - and allowed Patch to publish:
