"  Have you ever felt alone...or misunderstood? Do you wish more people knew who you really are? Well, Gabriel Sunday, the actor who plays Archie is Archie&amp;#039;s Final Project, can totally relate. The self-processed &amp;quot;nerd&amp;quot; just gets it, and when he came to the Seventeen office to tell us about his new project, we just had to share it with you! Seventeen: Tell us about Archie&amp;#039;s Final Project \u2014 it sounds so relatable! Gabriel Sunday: Well, I play a kid, Archie, who made a movie about suicide for his school video project, and the whole school kind of goes nuts over it. He&amp;#039;s just really figuring out how to connect with other people, and he&amp;#039;s not really suicidal, but he&amp;#039;s kind of reaching out and vocalizing his feelings. [For the role] I even slept on the set and lived there for two years! I woke up, turned on a camera, and would just talk into it. The whole goal was to make a film that spoke the language of young people. The movie has a great message about suicide prevention and connection. 17: So how does the school find out about Archie&amp;#039;s project? GS: The video teacher comes by and asks everyone about their projects. All the other kids are like, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m making a movie about my dog!&amp;quot; 17: Does Archie experience bullying at school? GS:Yeah, a bit. If he speaks out or says something, kids come down on him pretty hard. But later, people come out of the woodwork to try to connect with him because they see their struggle through him. Some of those are people are the same people who bully him, and that&amp;#039;s really hard for Archie.      17: What other problems does Archie have? GS: He&amp;#039;s the invisible kid, and his parents don&amp;#039;t pay much attention to him, so he&amp;#039;s looking for some way of reaching out and connecting. 17: Does Archie find anyone he can relate to at school? GS:The film starts to find its balance once he meets this girl who also has some issues she&amp;#039;s dealing with, and they&amp;#039;re both contemplating [suicide]. She&amp;#039;s the most popular girl in school, but she&amp;#039;s still got issues \u2014 serious broken stuff with her family. 17: &amp;quot;Archie&amp;quot; has a big social media following \u2014 tell us about it. GS: I kind of used the film as therapy for myself, and a lot of kids are doing that on YouTube \u2014 turning on the camera and talking. So this whole &amp;quot;I Am An Archie&amp;quot; thing started this movement we have going on right now around Facebook and Twitter. All these kids are looking at the film \u2014 finding out about it through YouTube \u2014 and they&amp;#039;re going, &amp;quot;I am an Archie \u2014 here&amp;#039;s how I&amp;#039;m expressing myself.&amp;quot; Even Britney Spears and Will.I.AM tweeted about it!      CHECK OUT THE MOVIE DEC. 6 ON NETFLIX! And tell us: What makes you an &amp;quot;Archie?&amp;quot; What&amp;#039;s one thing you wish everyone understood about YOU?
