  • first of all your words inspired me to help others in my place overcome their difficutlties.

    second of all... ;] YOUR SEXXY AF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @SpillCity

    No problem. It needed to be said.

  • I really appriciated this video. I'm 15 and bisexual.. I know that for me the hardest thing I've ever done was tell my mom about my sexuality. I thought things wouldn't be the same with her, but suprisingly they are. For any one out there that feels alone or lost.. Jus know that theres soo many people out there that have felt that way too. Your never alone :) much love

    Abi

  • @abikerr96 Thanks, Abi! It's great for someone like me to say it gets better, but support from peers is so much better! Spread the word :)

  • It's so hard for me just to make it through a day at school. I get bullied constantly, called a faggot and I was even beat up last year for being gay. Not only that, but my parents hate me and are ashamed to admit that I'm their son, and they tried to kick me out of the house when I first came out. I just hate every single day of my life and don't want to live anymore. And the worst part of it all is that I used to want to live. Then I took an arrow to the knee.

  • @wellzenn I promise you, things will change. It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you can just take baby steps...finding a trusted friend or adult to talk to, asking to see a counsellor or going to a local LGBTQ resource centre, online forum, etc, things will slowly get better. Before you know it, you'll be out of school and your parents' house and free to live how YOU want to. Don't give up.

  • I love you for this tribute!

  • Heey there. My names Danielle. And I just watched your video. I'm 15. I'm a lesbian. I'm scared. I deal with so much shit at school that coming out will just add on to that. I've seriously listened to this video over and over again the past hour. I broke down crying. I have no clue what the hell to do. I don't want to lose my close friends. My mom, she wouldn't care. She'd support. But my dad and my stepmom. Will disown me. I just need your help. I know you're like never on anymore. Please.
  • @elliepaige03 Danielle, if you feel that coming out could jeopardize your ability to live at home, I would consider reaching out to a local LGBTQ resource centre for help. Sometimes it's not as simple as...I'm gay, I'll come out. I understand how scary it is when coming out could mean getting kicked out, or worse. Is there a gay-straight alliance or any LGBTQ focused groups at school? Maybe a counsellor or teacher you can trust? Talk to them. They're there to help.

  • my dear, you're inspirational. You're so fucking cute, it's unreal. I know you probably don't read these comments, but hey. It's worth a shot.

  • @Katlinxownsxyou thank you!

  • A lot of teenagers "decide that they're bi" all of a sudden to be attractive/interesting because they're attention whores. That's what my mom thinks, anyway. I know she would still love me if she knew I'm /actually/ bi, but when other people asked, she'd laugh and pat my head and say that I "decided" I'm bi now, and if I ever got in a fight with someone over it or anything, she'd yell for not knowing when to just shut up and make life easier for myself. How will I get her to take me seriously?

  • @josie1839 My mom was the same way...even now that I'm 25 and out as FTM, she still thinks I might "meet the right guy," haha. Just live your life. That's the best proof.

  • HI^-^ youre so cute!

    I know your a female to male transgender, youre adorable!

    And ALL LGBPQ people are all in one big(HUGE) stranger family

    i'll stay strong ass long as you do, <3

    Love u!

  • thankyou..people like u give me hope..

  • whyre you so hot?

  • @thedeathnotefan981 be proud of who you are. millions of people support you IT GETS BETTER dnt kill urself plz

  • its so hard to live with my whole school hateing me...i cant deal with the pain anymore...im so scared to talk to ppl bc im afraid if i tell them im bi and im only 13....and i dont see any hope for me my parents have been hard on me ever since they found out i was bi...and my whole school calls me names and makes in front of me bc im bi idk wat to do anymore

  • I cudnt finish it. Too painful too true. I love you

  • I have had 3 suicide attempt's but I went to a new school and you know what IT GETS BETTER it did for me and now i am happy as ever please to everyone that is reading this IT GETS BETTER no matter what anyone else tells you, not saying what i did was right which was to run away but there is always a solution

  • Man, you're cute! :) Thanks for the wonderful message!

  • This video helped me more than you know. I've been watching the "it gets better" videos for a while now, but yours really got to me. When you related the gay community to a family, I started crying. Thank you for what you've done. I admire you so much for it. :)

  • You're so cute!

  • @kyleebinkley don't ever give up. This is who you are and don't ever feel guilty about. Be proud to be yourself and even though it seems hopeless, like this video says, it will get better, but you have to be strong -3

  • Thank you so much. This gave me chills, especially the part where you said 'youre part of our family, and we're not gonna let you go'.

    You inspire me.

  • i wish your gender recognition would get better

  • i'm out, and happy with it at 15 years old. i'm a freshman, and i've never had serious problems coming out in middle school. i know what it's like to be gay and happy. if you stay with us, i'm sure you'll be happy too. <3

  • You look like Ke$ha:)

  • well i met this AMAZING girl at a concert and she asked me out so now we are dating. And my parents DONT like the idea of me being a lesbian. They said i cant see her or talk to her anymore, and my dad kicked me out.. so now i live with my grandma. And she says that i cant see her either. I cant live without my girlfriend. and i cant get caught seeing her behind their back again or my parents are going to send me off. i dont know what to do. Any Advise?

  • @BrandiNicolee1997 Let me tell you that I am so sorry that you have to go through any of this. Even if you can't change it, you need to rise above it. You need to realize that this isn't right and never give up. There are people out there who are destined to have their lives changed and even saved by you and if you leave now, those people will never experience the amazing person that you are that really need to. If you're ever feeling really bad, message me and I'll listen:)

  • I like that you brought up the point that these kids need allies while being bullied. Sticking it out can be like a prison sentence, so "it gets better" can be empty hope while enduring the torture. These kids need solutions to cope with the violence being perpetrated on them. Well said, thank you.

  • You're...quite...amazing! <3

  • I'm 17, names Sareth, i'm not bullied by anybody. I get along fine with all my friends, but i can't help but feel an intense sorrow inside me. Nobody knows except my ex girlfriend. Who is the same. I feel i don't want to hurt anyone by letting them know. I feel like i should just keep it inside forever.

  • Im 14 and i no longer want to live. My grades arent the best and my dad now thinks im a failure. I got slaped at school by my "best friend" and my parents found out from my little sister, so now im in trouble for "lying" and im getting sent off to some military school, And someone decided to start a rumor about me doing something with someone which is a lie, and now im considerd a slut,whore..ect. And my grandma and a close friend both died in december. Im just so tired of it. I dnt wnt 2 live..

  • @BrandiNicolee1997 i know things seem really crappy, but i want you to know that you can send me private messages if you're having a bad time and want to talk. i can promise you...i am a decade ahead of you in age and there is NOTHING worth leaving this world over, though it really might feel like it at the time.

    write me if you want to talk about stuff, and if you're ever feeling like you can't handle it and you need to talk right away, call the Trevor Lifeline...866-488-7386. much love.

  • @SpillCity

    so so sorry i ACCIDENTALLY pushed the dislike button , i just wanted to say it was an accident , and that i think your great! inside and out! :)

  • @BrandiNicolee1997

    plz,plz keep on living , i know it seems hard know, i know it is hard know, but as "spillcity" said life WILL get better.

    i'm living proof that there is someone who cares, i don't know you, but yet i think your life is as precious as mine.

    EVERYONE'S life is precious, until they take a life. so PLZ don't take your own life! you are precious!!!  LIFE GET'S BETTER!!!

  • @BrandiNicolee1997 don't give up now. I'm 14 too, my dad died, my mom doesn't get it, i don't have many close friends and most of the ones i did have betrayed my trust. i was standing on the edge. i met some people through band who support me and introduced me to the it gets better campaign. those 2 things saved my life. i guarantee that you will find real friends just hang in there

  • @BrandiNicolee1997 DON'T DO IT! Please for the love of god don't do it! You are worth something! Don't belive those assholes. You are beautiful and born just the way you are supposed to be. We may be perfect strangers but I know, I KNOW you are a wonderful person with hopes and dreams. Don't listen to them. Not for a second. You are beautiful. No doubt.

  • I am 14 years old and im already tired of living my life. my grades arent the best and my dad is always calling me a failure, i am constantly in trouble because my sister decides to lie and get me in trouble all the time. so that doesnt help my case AT ALL. im just tired of it all. My grandma died recently because of lung cancer. And a close friend of mine died a month before my grandma did. I have NO future, and someone at school decided to start a roumer so now im a slut, im just tired of it..

  • so i'm 15 and i dont want to live any more..

    i have felt this way for over 3 years and nobody knows...

    i am bullied by 10+ people per day this includes all kinds of abuse...

    i didnt do anything to deserve this so why me??

    over the last few years my thoughts of the world have changed dramatically cant someone.. anybody help me?? thank you.

  • @donkyheads2 i totally understand where you're coming from, as do millions-literally MILLIONS-of people who are being bullied or used to be. there is no magic words that any of us can say that will make it better overnight, but my best advice is REACH OUT wherever you can...online forums, maybe a teacher you trust, anywhere that you can find people who are supportive of what you're going through.

    you can always send me a private message and i will do whatever i can to help you, even just talk.

  • Hey girl, my name is Matthew and I clicked on this video because I thought you were a hot boy... well, you're a hot girl. ;] Then I watched the video and I think you're beautiful from the inside out =]]]]]]]

  • @MattiAndSelen Hey Matthew...thank you :) and just to clarify, I am female-to-male transgender. So you were right the first time!

  • because of two little girls turning my whole class and 3 of the most influential years of my life into a living hell when I was 5 i became ashamed of who I am. i wish that i could flip a switch that puts them in our shoos to let them see what its like. That its not easy to know that your different in a way that takes away some of your rights insome places. I'm glad that these videos, that your video, is out there to help people realize that it does get better.

    Thank you for posting! :D

  • you are toooo cute =] i like the video

  • Excellent video - just like talking to a mate. Just wishing I'd had a mate like you when I was a teenager :)

  • Oh my, thank you so so so much for sharing this with us, I can definetly say that these videos are still helping me, through a difficult time, through my own self dislike. Its empowering, and your message was one of the most personal. Thank you so much, you are a beautiful and motivating young man.

    xxoxx

  • @inspirationalsanity thank you so much for writing. i think we've all had struggles, all had times where we just weren't sure what the next step was or how to take it...it's this common experience that makes us able to really help each other. i think that's the whole point of making it through...to give back when someone else is in need.

    everyone deserves love, first and foremost from themselves. keep at it :)

  • Amazing!

  • This is my favorite one.

    Thank you so much!

  • @blackbeltbrave thank you!!!

  • This one of the best videos I've seen yet. I love the combination if honesty and encouragement. Thanks from one family member to another ;) --kara

    Also, you're cute!

  • @09kwalk thanks kara! now if i could just get this justin beiber hair out of my face, haha

  • ThisIs My FAVORITE "It Gets Better" Vid I Have Seen Yet...Ur Amazing! ANd Inspiring!

  • @DNealchannel thank you so much!

  • you're beautiful.

  • As someone who made it through high school to see that it indeed does get better, I feel so proud of this project, and your video was one of the best by far that I have seen. Its positive and yet still realistic. I thank you for your step in showing the LGBT youth what life has to offer, that there is a family out here for them! Much props to you in an inspiring video!

  • @willowflyy thank you.

  • I am glad that I saw this video, along with many other videos of the "It Gets Better" project.

    I am glad that this project exist.

    I am glad, and proud to be bisexual!

  • That's a gorgous black triangle ring. Where did you get it?

  • @ebonyangel8 I actually got it at a jewelry store in Provincetown, Mass this past summer...I'm sure you could find one online as well.

  • You're hot to me and i'm a gay guy...

    Now i'm really confused :(

  • This is one of the best videos I've seen in this series. It's realistic and hopeful at the same time. And I like the mutual responsibility angle, and the comments about learning history. I haven't seen too many people bring up these topics.

    The delivery was great, too. And the built in links! What's not to like? Good work.

  • @gcuarbitrary thanks so much :)

  • Great video! 

  • This is a particularly good video. You're right: we are all a family. Just like every family, some of us sometimes do things that annoy the others, but other times we do things that really please the others. And, most of all, we love each other and stick together. All the people who are having a tough time right now, who are being picked on just for who they are, should remember this: your family loves you, and we want you to come and meet your sisters and brothers as soon as you can.

  • @amylNRG absolutely, you're exactly right. I hope people get this message.

  • it gets better then it sucks again then it gets better then it sucks then it gets better again THATS LIFE if you get bullied then find a guy whos like 6-4 300 lbs who used to get bullied and hates bullies like me i could use some money if you want i'll be l;ike drill bit taylor for a while (as olong as you pay my way and hook it up on some cash) peace brah

  • This is beautiful.

  • @legacyspy Thank you

  • Comment removed

  • thank you, darling.

  • @HenhousetheRed thank you for taking the time to watch

  • Thank so you so much for this. I'm sitting here and crying and thinking of how much this can help so many people who went through what I did. How it will help those who go through school and becomes unsure of life and the struggle to keep going. Thank you, thank you. I'll never be able to say it enough.

  • WOW. Your words, your passion -- so inspiring, SO moving...what you say about "finding your family" is SO right. Thank you for your amazing video. Thank you for being so articulate, and for being so supportive, and for being YOU.

    LOVE <3

  • @wushupufferfish you're too kind. really. but thank you for watching and commenting :)

  • First of all.. *DROOL*

    Secondly, this is such an encouraging video and it personally has already helped me a lot. You have given me hope. Hope that when I do decide to come out, my family will eventually stop being fussy about it. :p

    Thirdly, to me it seems as if you're an all around caring, interesting, and intelligent person so I'm going to go ahead and subscribe.

  • @TheLastZombie thank you for watching, commenting, and subscribing! i don't use my channel much anymore for anything but my personal music videos but i am so passionate about this epidemic.

    and your family will eventually stop being fussy about it. i don't want to promise anyone more than i can deliver, but i can tell you from personal experience and that of every single person i know that time heals.

  • @SpillCity I have watched your 3 latest videos, and discovered that subscribing to you was definitely worth it. If you do decide to upload more, I'll for sure take a look and be happy to hear what else you have to say! :}

  • this actually made me cry. you are so lovely, thank you for saying all this. <3

  • @gacktdearest thank you for your words and encouragement. beautiful.

  • gays are mean to gays in SF how does it get better from that?

  • @outsiderofcal it's funny, i just wrote an open letter addressing the older (18+) members of our community about it's current disunity and what we can do to change that. i read the letter out on my channel, i hope you'll take the time to listen. it's the feature video on my page.

  • bro, im 14 and i want to say thanks (: 

  • @hipsterkiddd thanks so much for commenting. you have no idea how nice it is to hear that what i'm saying is of use to youth. if you ever need anything, write me a personal message and I'll give you my private email. cheers :)

  • Look at that crooked smile! You are hands down ADORABLE!

  • @HellboundAlleee aw, thank you.

  • @SpillCity I blush just at your reply. ;)

  • Really inspiring. Thanks for sharing. :)

  • @ackrieger thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. it's always good encouragement.

  • *hugs*

  • @aaron31967 *hugs right back*

  • I almost fell in love with you while watching that video. You are so articulate and so confident. and you just seem to know the right thing to say to alleviate some of the pain and anguish of gay or transgendered young people.

    I couldn't fall in complete love with you because I am a gay man. But I can know that you are a person with a great kindness and empathy. With more people like you, it can only get better.

  • @prixator wow, thank you! i'm hoping that because I'm really not all that far away from high school myself, and because i experience a lot of issues due to my gender presentation, i can offer some solidarity. thank you again for taking the time to write these beautiful words.

  • Beautiful video...I'm sure you have helped many.

  • @weizer2 thank you so much for watching and for your sentiments. i can't tell you how passionate i am about making a better life for queer youth.
