It Gets Better

Google's entry into the It Gets Better Project.

Having made it through 6 years of bullying at school by telling myself that eventually it would get better, I think that letting unhappy kids that the possibility of hope exists is terribly important.

Yeah. I was a suicidal queer teen (not due to bullying, though I went through my share of that too) and the only reason I got through high school without killing myself was because adults I trusted told me that it would get better and I believed them.

It's an utterly fantastic project. My respect for Dan Savage has gone through the roof.

This really is fantastic. I agree that this would have helped me, one of the few things that really helped was my dad explaining how much better things would be when I went off to university. Has Stephen Fry done one yet?

This is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. While watching, I asked my daughter to come watch it with me. We were both so moved that tears were flowing. I am forwarding to her so that she can share with all her friends. She's 18 and has a multitude of teen connections. This message will get out there and make a huge difference. Pass it on!!

I'm so glad she's passing it on. This kind of thing makes it all worthwhile.
