Tony Sheldon is living proof that it does get better. He tells his whole heart-wrenching story on "Show People" on Broadway.com, and yet now he seems to be one of the most joyful, optimistic actors I've ever seen.
These kinds of videos make me wish I had YouTube when I was a kid. Still today, I see kids being ridiculed, and teased for who they are. Thank YOU for doing this video! My love to all of you in the cast!! See you next month!!
Being bullied sucked....I had problem with the way I dressed, my sexuality, my beliefs, the way I look, and just being kind. It hurts to be bullied....it shows how some people can be cruel, hypocrits, or just maybe have low selfesteem for themselves and so they decide to pick on the ones that they think should be picked on. But the best thing that actually got me through all of this was my mom, my grandma :rip:, my stepdad, my brother, and thearpy....The saying goes just push the bullies off.
I cant wait to see this, as far as bullying, once you get out of school you can do what you want, for me as an adult my family-cousins, aunts, etc continued to bully me, i basically cut them off. I personally feel if anyone is putting you down and holding you back cut ties with them.. Bullying continues as an adult- underhanded comments are what adults use, just stand up for yourself and never take crap from anyone..!!!!
An amazing musical with a wonderful cast. I feel very lucky to have gotten to see it twice in Toronto. I wish all of you a wonderful run in New York City. Thank you for making this video. I know it couldn't have been easy to speak of all the experiences but I am sure it will end up helping and inspiring many. I send my love to all of you.
I don't think that I can like this video enough!!! Simply amazing. This is such an important message to get across to the youth of today. Intolerance is ignorance, but so is sitting back and doing nothing. Please get out there and stop the bullying if you see it being done or know that it is happening. No one should have to go through this. EVERYONE deserves a chance to get through high school without being harassed so that they too can find out that IT GETS BETTER!
Eloquently, movingly and spectacularly well articulated. You are all fabulous ambassadors of joy and warmth, both on and off the stage. Having seen the show only last week I can only say that I can't wait to see it again and for anyone that hasn't seen it, you truly won't know what real fun is until you do. It's sensational and the best thing playing in any theatre anywhere right now. Bravo!!!!
Beautifully done! Thanks for this. I saw the show a couple of weeks ago here in Toronto and it was one of the best nights I've ever had in a theatre. The show is fabulous, the cast is fabulous, and you gay kids out there are fabulous too. Find your bus, hop on and prepare to be fabulous!
It does get better. Thank you to all who appeared and spoke in your video. When I was struggling with being gay in the 60's and 70's, and trying to figure out who I was and feeling isolated and alone, I also faced bullying. Now so many years later, we the gay and lesbian community are here for our younger generations - and this is a true blessing. It Gets Better.
