It Gets Better

If you haven't heard about this already, or if you haven't watched the videos, please check out the "It Gets Better" project's channel on Youtube.



These videos were created in response to teenagers who have committed suicide because of bullying, because they felt alone with their differences, because they felt like freaks who would never fit in...

Do you hear that?!?! Gay, lesbian, transgender and queer teens end their lives because people with tiny minds are making those lives a misery.

This is very real. Over 21 days in September, nine teenagers committed suicide because of homophobic bullying.
