'IT GETS BETTER': SPOKEN WORD (Diane and Chana from Toronto)

[sabrina27ize]

This gives me so much hope. Thank you for getting a very important message across in such beautiful poetic lyrics. I was so depressed last year I considered suicide, and this video makes me feel glad I got over that depression! Thanks xxx

[Homochild]

This was written and spoken very well. I'm glad I watched. :)

[DianeLindo]

@Homochild  Thank you!!! :)

[masonmcfadden]

Using your words to empower yourself and others! Good for you, and thank you for sharing. (Also, thank you for watching my IGBVid(s)). :) Peace!!!

[DianeLindo]

@fuck192ass Well, for me "better" means not being too phased by bullies ;) Its a huge step that "gay" is becoming more mainstream! But unfortunately its still illegal to be homosexual in some parts of the world, and teens are still taking their own lives due to bullying (even in the most accepting parts of the world).

Gays (and straight supporters) are not trying to oppress, just fighting for basic human rights.

[DwiteTheSpriteKnight]

You come across as a very determined person and I think that you're really good at getting your message across. Besides that it's nice to see people expressing their affection for each other regardless of what their gender is. Hopefully the number of homophobic bigots in the world will continue to shrink. Obviously there are still too many.

[DianeLindo]

@DwiteTheSpriteKnight Thanks a lot, your support is appreciated! And I very much agree!!

This video pretty much saved my life... I would come home every day crying for hours and this lead to me being emo and one day I pick up a knife and my cousin ran into the room with her laptop, showed me the video and i dropped the knife. THANK YOU

[DianeLindo]

@XxHannahMaltasxX Wow. No words can even begin to express how happy/relieved I am that you put down the knife!! This was the exact reason for me making this video, mission accomplished. I don't mean to sound clique or anything but I'd like to believe that pain can always transform into strength! Stay brave and you can get through anything!!!!!! <3

@XxHannahMaltasxX

oh lord, you know, Hippies, punks, etc, had a somewhat meaningful 'slant' - they would atleast fight back.

not being a bully, merely stating truth folks,

but generation upon generation we're so downgraded, in fact, we came from warriors that wouldn't back down into a generation of nothingness, we rather sit back and cry.

any how, reading this really disgusted me, all i meant to say was stand up for yourself, never back down.

[DianeLindo]

@ruinedatmosphere I very much agree with your point! I still don't think its fair to judge anyone if you have no idea what their situation is like.

But since I do agree with what you said, I have no problem trying to HELP give that push for our youth to recognize their own strength and fight back!

So many people are much tougher than they even know!!

[ruinedatmosphere]

@DianeLindo

good to see one agree, and willing to 'help' our youth.

and I'm sure that we all are stronger than we think, cause really, we're limited by our imaginations.

[wildpoontang]

Amazing!

[DianeLindo]

@wildpoontang Thank you!!!

[cannedkitty]

is this a based freestyle

[DianeLindo]

@cannedkitty I pretty much just scribbled it down on a piece of paper quickly. Some things changed while saying it out loud and some was memorized, so not entirely

[cannedkitty]

@DianeLindo swagg

[ThroughMyEyes100]

[foolsgold41]

[darkninja589]

[abbyrod13]

[KIWIgirl2014]

Word to the max! Best "It Gets Better" video ever!!

[thefuzzyducky1]

this made me smile :)

[seemee13]

Beautiful :)

[gkoz791]

your words are very powerful, and a good cause. suicide is a permanent decision for a temporary problem. it's not a solution.

[amazonian89]

Wicked!

[MissAnorexorcist]

Even though I'm straight, this 'It Gets Better" project really strikes a chord with me.

Keep up the great work, DianeLindo :)

[iljmad]

Amazing and powerful, as per usual :P
