Last Wednesday (22/01/14) Tom Parker, Nathan Sykes, Max George, Jay McGuiness and Siva Kaneswaran announced that The Wanted would be taking a break. And obviously this caused a lot of distress and sadness on my twitter timeline.

| Quote from The Wanted Life by Jay McGuiness |
To most people they are just another boyband but to so many people they mean so much more. They have changed the lives of so many people, so therefore this split (and directioners making fun of it) is heartbreaking as the five guys who said they would always be there are going their separate ways.

For those of you who don't know, The Wanted used to have a thing called "Wanted Wednesday" and every Wednesday they would send a mailer around and upload a video to YouTube.

I've read so many stories about how these five guys have helped so many people with being confident in who they are and staying strong. So I thought I'd share just a little how they helped me. Roughly about four years ago I was struggling at school, not academically but socially as I was being pushed away by anybody I classed as my friend. I felt isolated therefore at break and lunch times I used to sit with my headphones in listening to music.
Listening to The Wanted.
Whenever I heard their voices, whether on the radio, the telly, the flip or just listening to their songs, a smile would spread across my face. They never failed to cheer me up.
Things at school were going so badly that my grades began to drop and I was miserable all the time which began to affect my family as well. That's when my parents suggested moving schools. I didn't know what to think about this, whether to go with my heart and move as it would be a fresh start or my head and stay where I was because I was scared things would repeat.
One day I was on twitter and so was Max from the band so I tweeted him asking if I could talk to him...and he replied! That was something I was not expecting at all! After briefly explaining things to him, he replied again telling me to follow my heart as he said...
"I'd see it out and I'm sure you won't regret it x"So I did. And it's been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am so much happier now and I am so thankful of Max and the other boys for helping me to stay strong throughout my struggles.

The thing that upsets me the most about the break they are taking, is that now I might not get the chance to meet them to tell them how much they mean to me and to actually thank Max George in person. For basically changing my life and shaping me to who I am today.
