I am not trying to be rude. I found this on itgetsbetter.... but please. Don't try to shove your business on us if you are trying to help people like myself.... from committing suicide... it's tacky

@megasupercrap I'm sorry you feel that way. This video was made by our non-profit organization because as a whole, we agree wholeheartedly with this project. Our own staff fueled the making of this video internally and bravely shared their stories so that they can help spread the message that it does indeed get better.

We love our membership to the Aquarium of the Pacific and have enjoyed many, many hours exploring the various and wonderful sea creatures. Your participation in the "It Gets Better" project is one more outstanding reason to love the Aquarium of the Pacific. Thank you, thank you for your important submission.

Kudos to the Aquarium of the Pacific for demonstrating true leadership. Jerry Schubel and his team are very interested in designing a better future. The Aquarium takes on many tough issues that most others avoid. Most problems facing the planet are social problems. These problems affect us all and most are solvable.

I love my membership and I love to bring people to the Aquarium. Now I have even more reasons to love and support my Aquarium. Well done!

Well done! Love you all for speaking out and making a difference.

It's great to see the Aquarium participating in the Trevor Project. I've been a dive volunteer at the Aquarium almost since they opened and it's one of the relationships that makes my life so great. Like so many gay guys, I had a rough time in high school, but as soon as I got out of there, life was at least hundred times better. High school students have no concept of what's important, and when you get into the *real* world, it's way better.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I appreciate all your stories. I am so glad that our world is changing one small step at a time. I teach middle school students in Monrovia and I am very aware of the bullies. Please know that I do my part to make sure that students understand respect and the right to live your life as you please, being either gay or straight. Keep enjoying life and thank you again for caring! I will share this video with our counselor at school.
