  • Excellent advice and information. Cazwell is taking the lead and paving his own way. Jump on board

  • Cazwell is the only guy I know who is a 39 year old that could pass as a 24 year old.

  • Cazwell didn't even need to make a "It Gets Better" video. His Ice Cream Truck video was proof enough it gets better ;)

  • great  video

  • Even in mexico its hard surviving being gay, but i did t just don show your insecurity. Cazwell i like some fo your song... Just because you say numbers in a bad spanish lol like it greeting from Tlaxcala, Mexico

  • i'm gay and i've never been bullyied

  • Love the NYC accent sooo much. xoxoxo

  • Inspiring :)

  • OMG Caz, you are great - please keep doing what you do ... thankyou XXXX

  • IT REALLY DOES GET BETTER!!!!!

    

  • well said man...you rule .

  • It's called the bystander effect. The most likely reason that no one stopped to help you is because people are generally self centered and don't want to be altruistic when it matters for whatever reason, usually fear. Not quite the same reason teachers won't help when you're being bullied in school, but the it does have the same solution. Be confident in yourself. (Also, learn a defensive martial art...scare the crap out of people.)

  • @PhaseAndRain it is, different matter of course

  • the best 'it gets better' video. the best advice that i actually agree with.  thanks for saying it!

  • cazwell is right it does get better

  • Keep the faith baby (most importantly, in YOURSELF!)

  • Cazwell..... Marry me... LOL.... But I thought that your song Knockout (one of my favorite songs btw) was about violence???? IM SOO CONFUSED!!

  • Sometimes in life you have to pick up a motherfuckin' rock. FUCK YEAH! <3 u bro!

  • I used to think Cazwell was only sexy...now hes frikin cute aswell.

  • Yes! Finally someone doesn't try and coat the issue. If you're getting pushed around and no one will help you then you push back.

  • We need to let ppl know that we are here and we're NOT going away. so to all the haters out there eather like us and support us or get the FUCK OUT THE WAY. I am a proud gay father and I have raised my 12yr old son to respect everyone and yes it does get better so keep ya head up my gay brothers and sisters

  • Cazwell that is totally true and I get pushed around alot by straight people and people around me is acting as if its all my fault and i love myself for me i like to suck dick, I'm gay and I cant speak for anyone else but your completely right 100%.

  • Please marry me. xoxo

  • it does! <3

  • I love you Caz!! You make me so proud, happy, and feeling empowered whenever I see, watch, or groove to that "voodoo" that you do so well!!!

  • well said babe <3 youre amazing

  • go off like a motherfuckin car alarm

  • Love this ^^

    I like the way you think.

    *Liked, subbed, added to playlist*

  • I like how he called us "freaky youth". ♥

  • Hello Cazwell- Thank you for posting this! This can help Dozens of Thousands guys and gay folks-+ I've been counseling for a very long time And you are So ON Target with what you share-It means a LOT to me-I feel for you and i feel your Security in who you are~! That's the greatest gift of all~! Love & Joy, ♥ Wade

  • Cazwell I love you and your a major inspiration for me to be just me. Former New Yorker here living in the Fl Keys. thanks for helping me come out for a 2nd time in life and out of m own closet to myself and accepting ME for who I am.

  • One of the things I hate is when people try to insult me with what gay men do. Yes I'm gay I suck dick SO WHAT! People make it sound as if it should affect me.

  • How would this guy know about bullying? He's from upper-crust Massachusetts.

  • He is so gorgeous and beautiful!

  • Cazwell u sexy motherfucker!

    I hate that u're far away

  • Comment removed

  • Lol which is all true :P

  • Well done.

    Now make more videos with naked guys!

  • Word.

  • anyone else feel like clapping after watching this video? love you cazwell!

  • This was very helpful, i use to be bullied since 3rd grade till at the end of 8th grade i was like "fuck this" and i finally started standing up for myself and all that bullying toughened me up, i also joined boxing in 8th grade too so i can learn how to KO any homophobe that even touches me in any negative way and i loooove it. ^^ thanks caz

  • GAY power!!!

  • yay!!! Go Cazwell :D

  • WORD!

  • i love you cazwell..............

  • is it weird that even watching this amongst videos like all over your face and ice cream, it's still hard to wrap my head around the fact that Cazwell is gay? Probably because he's so gangsta about it.

  • I got rob for my fake watch but 2 vs 1 so I fight back but they say they have a knife so take my fake watch niggers

  • Now that was a great, It Get Better video! I loved it so I am going to have to favorite to watch everytime I am no feeling so well because I picked me up so much!

    Thank you Cazwell and take care!

  • @KearnivoreNearlyHD

    self-defense is not hate!!

  • @LanaMuckraker Thanks Kearnivore- i see where i misunderstood ya..

  • You're awesome Cazwell. This was the best "it gets better" video that I have seen.

  • absolutely LOVE your videos! totally appreciate this vid in particular. Thanks for lendin me some strength and wisedom, 'twas exactly what I needed and peace to you.

  • As a gay man who is in the process of coming out, I have to say that I agree with your philosophy of why gay men are often targets of bullies.

  • I like your beard

  • Caz - THANK YOU!

    You were already my dream lover, but now I'm swooning. Thank you for speaking the truth and not just spouting sentimental "it will be okay" bullshit.

    Stonewall wasn't a bunch of wimps... Act Up wasn't a bunch of pussies... FIERCENESS is what brought us the rights we have and it's what ultimately saves us.

    Sometimes you've got to pick up a motherfucking rock, indeed, and be fierce enough to love yourself in the face of ignorant hate.

  • First of all, you are GORGEOUS! Can't get tired of seeing your videos.

    Second of all, you are absolutely right. If I had smacked the shit out of one -just one- of the bullies in high school, stood up for myself and made a statement, things would have been so much easier. "But I would have gotten in trouble in school." Perhaps, but you can always prove that you're being bullied and that no one is doing anything. YOU have to take control! Thanks, Cazwell!

  • WTF does his story have to do with It gets better??

  • @3909clancy That you have to stand up for yourself through-out your life . . .

  • @3909clancy He's saying that you don't always have to be a victim, but don't expect that people won't try to victimize you still.

  • Your awesome!

  • I luv ya cazwell!

  • AMEN! Thank you Cazwell!

  • he sounds diffeerent in his songs.... guess thats cuase he is singing

  • u just made my day cazwell thnx lol

  • Out and proud - like I always say: ain't for sissies. No matter what your deal...no matter who you are, it takes INTELLIGENCE to know WHO you are and COURAGE to be WHAT you are. Rock.

  • I AM FROM NYC, AND NOW IAM IN PUERTO RICO, I AM YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN, LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU DOWN HERE IN THE ISLAND, I SHOW U AROUND, YOU WILL LOVE IT! FOR SURE... WILRAMS@AOL.COM C YA!!!!! LOVE 'GIVE ME TONIGHT' JUST SIMPLY LOVE IT!!!!!

  • i like this

    yes ,fight back if you can dude1

    i am there with Caz!

  • who dislikes this.. really

  • cazwell i love you!!!!! ugh you look so dam good

  • Agree

  • Cazwell I love you, I'm a straight male and I love you. I hate the damn homophobes -.-

  • @brandonhud60 Thanks bro! You are the future of understanding and tolerance.

  • @brandonhud60 I love real man who stand for fairness and justice. Kudos for your comment. 

  • thank you

  • I totally agree with this guy.

  • bystander effect is diffused by ONE

  • As soon bullied since early-childhood for being gay - as was apparent to everybody, it seemed, except me - Cazwell is giving out some cool advice here. When you get a sense of self-worth and confidence bullying DOES stop; why bully somebody if you know you can't get to them? And he also acknowledges that homophobic bullying can occur sporadically later in life too, as happened to him. Cazwell hits the nail on the head here. And accusing him of saying that 'bullying is your fault'? Insane.

  • It's cruel to take people who are having great difficulties in their lifes, and tell them "it's all in your head, all you've got to do is changing your attitude

  • I like his songs and stuff like that, but this ideology, this mostly USA ideology of positive thinking and attitude is ridiculous. "You've got to love yourself". Ok, so if things go wrong it's because you don't love yourself enough...

    .

    What he says is: bulling is your fault.

    It's delusional.

  • What he says: bulling is your falt

  • Let's hope that there comes a day when these sort of incidents no longer happen. Having said that, I chuckled when he said, "... which is all true."

  • nice vid and if i ever see that dude who tried u ima kick his ass

  • LA is ready for you tonight. I love you, CAZ.

  • @peacebisquit

    Ciao Bello!

    Grazie for uploading "Caswells" contribution to this very important and seemingly effective project! It's all part of an ever changing world that I, and a boy I once loved (Bobby Griffith/Prayers for Bobby) long ago, dreamed of! My gratitude for the existence of this is boundless!

    Grazie Mille Uomo Bello!

  • i agree

    good job cazwell

  • I love the way you tell how it is, its not fun to bully someone who don't react in a sissy way.. So having a "be stronger" project is good..

  • thank you :(

  • Cazwell, you had me in your corner till the "..pick up a rock" thing. I am gay and I do not agree with you.

  • I AM GAY. I LOVE YOU!!!

  • @Brasher14  hell? so you believe in hell? Christian hell? Jesus would be so proud...

  • love.you xox

  • Loved the line, "and I like to suck dick and fuck guys, which is all true." That was fantastic.

  • CAZWELL LOVE YOU!!! <3!!!!!

    

  • I totally agree with you Cazwell. Gay guys definitely need to start standing up for themselves.

  • "and I like to suck dick and fuck guys.... which is all true" LMAO! Love it! I don't know why breeders think they're insulting us gays by telling us we fuck guys. Just stupid.

  • cool must see facebook trick /watch?v=Fd0di5HFboY

  • It gets better: the gangsta version, lol

  • your pride is all over your face because I was watching your mouth when you were chillin by the ice cream truck AND YES a rock sometimes is necessary

  • Sometime you got to pick up a mother-fucking rock... true words.

  • Is he gay? I have nothing against gays, I'm just not sure...

  • @souleater443 yes. re-watch the vid for the part where he says he enjoys sex with guys.

  • jesus I cannot belive something like that happend to you in New York City. Ive always experienced this city as one of the most liberal, very sad actually.

  • :)

    

  • this was sweet. I'm really into standing up for ourselves!!!

  • Being in the 11th grade now I noticed its been gettin better since like 9th grade when I used to cut lol but I think it does have a lot to do with loving and accepting yourself cuz like I'm fucking awesome :) Cazwell my role model lol

  • I'm glad you mentioned about adult bullying, That is an important issue in itself. By the way, what do you mean by freaks? Thanks for sharing.

  • Wow.. Cazwell- i'm sorry this happened to you. You have a positive message.

    You are amazing.. I want to squeeze you.. You really put a smile on my face. Im posting this on my facebook so all my gay/lesbian friends/family can see this.

    thanks Cazwell. xo

  • I really don't like promote being gay, or even say it's okay; but what he is saying is right. Im a catholic and i feel that he has the message of what the bible trys to say more than most of the people in the bible belt

  • DO YOU MIND PUTTIN CAPTIONS FOR MY FRIENDS WHO ARE DEAF AND GAY? ONE OF THEM GOT BEAT UP BY A GROUP OF MEN BECAUSE HE WAZ GAY

  • Good on ya Caz - you're spot on.

  • Comment removed

  • pick up a rock!

  • <3 <3

  • Mad Respect!

  • "which are all true.."

    Hahaha woah same here :P

  • i completely understand where he's coming from,

    but you have to understand, this "Superior Masculine Society" is ending,

    and the Receptiveness feminine society is Rising.

    and what this means is that, No Females aren't going to rule the world, but finally in this beautiful era, those who are Creative, unique, eccentric and diverse are going to not only be tolerated but are going to be viewed with more incentive,

    in short, less-"Might will no longer make Right"

    More, "Actions with Compassion.

    

  • i love 2:16 "...which are all true". This video shows that cazwell is the man and not afraid to speak the truth!

  • he looks like justin timberlake and elijah wood

  • cazwell keep it up ! Your character is awesome and so are you :D That's a really important message...

  • That was cool that he made that video... he's such a cool guy...

  • @gneerowblack I really do agree with you and I'm so happy that you've noticed that YOU need help ^^

  • @MisswhateverA FUCK YOU BITCH! Don't flag my shit...people say shit to me all the time and I'm not a pussy who deletes comments.

    I remember when Caz was a "foot masseuse"...aka WHORE!!!!! And he was never nice, so why are you defending him when you don't know my history...you don't know my BEEF with niggaz!

  • @gneerowblack haha cute :D I didn't flag your shit ;) and I'm really sorry for you if people say shit to you all the time but I can't help it ;) I admit, I just know THIS video  ^^ but in this video he tells us a important message and I don't care if he was never nice or even IS nice ^^ And really he seems to be a real nice person and if he isn't i don't care, i just care about the message ^^

  • Hands down, thanks for posting this!

  • OMG cazwell is sooo cute x3

  • @2791991

    he rreally is adorable

  • i think it's cool that you made a video and actually let the world know that you're not invinceable! it's great to let people know that you have to be secure in yourself and that even when you get older things won't be easy! i was surprised that there weren't more people dressed in purple that day, but i did see you in the city that day and glad you supported the cause. see you under the disco ball! xoxoxo

  • Cazwell is the shit! I love his positive, self-secure, attitude. I work off-shore as a cunstruction diver in the gulf of mexico, and I am out, but I am very secure and very strong. You have to be otherwise people will exploit and attack you. Just by the nature of the environment I work in, the guys love to make jokes about me, but they make jokes about everyone. Its like the frat boy mentality. Like Cazwell said, self confidence is STRENGTH and bullies look for the weak, so love yourself damnit.

  • way to blame the victim. you're thiiiiis close to saying that the kids brought this on themselves by not being assertive. it's the BULLY's fault!!

    next, it's women's fault for being raped because they wore a miniskirt? or didn't know self defense?!

  • @jimenitayo uhhh... yeah. because what cazwell says is true. if you start treating and valuing yourself more, the more you don't put up with bs. what he's saying is that you have to learn to stand up for yourself when bad people put you down because it empowers you, making you no longer an easy target.

  • Great message....you need to come to Ft Lauderdale to perform!

  • I love Cazwell!!!

  • im a gay guy and i wish that there were more people like you i love you caswell marry me please

  • I heart Cazwell :-) Me Love Him Long Time!

  • Thank you for keepin it real.

  • Of all the ''It Get's Better'' videos this one is the most real and sincere. Hell yeah we gotta start defending ourselves. When the homophobes strike we gotta strike back but 10 times harder. The time for remaining silent is over for the GLBT community, the time to fight and completely destroy all the homophobia is this world has begun. Time for homophobes to DIE!!!

  • A beautiful message from a beautiful REAL man! May I also add, charming, funny, intelligent, funny, sexy as FUQ! and Delicious! Mwaz all ova u!! ILY Pimp Daddy!Stay strong and gorgeous and ya, sometimes ya gotta put a punk bitch in check! lol

  • I like the attitude. Sometimes the only defence these kids are gonna have is coming from themselves. Thanks for the tracks and clips Cazwell. Kisses from Australia xx

  • Thank you so much for this video. I appreciate the message that things don't get better just "because" and that bullying continues. I recently just made a video talking about the false message we may be sending with the "It Gets Better" videos. Strong sense of self is truly the key. This is what will help our community stand up for ourselves - in life and in the fight for equality.

  • thank you

  • meet me at the ice cream truck ill buy you a ice cream!!!!!!!

  • ♥ I LOVE U CAZ ♥

  • Thank you Cazwell!

  • i'm agree with you, when you love yourself nothing can hurt you! guys love yuorselves, respact yourselves

  • You mean we are seen as victims yes you are right and sometimes you have to stand up for yourself.

  • Love u love the MSG yay it gets better

  • Thanx Cazwell! Great video!

  • One day at highschool during gym one of the guys was calling me a p*ssy behind my back (I'm 6"1') So I turned around and said 'I'm a p*ssy and you're too chicken to tell me? Go on say it to my face' This guy was french and couldn't insult use an insult to save his life, so whilst he was trying to insult me I said something and started walking away and he said something like 'yeah you keep walking' So I turned around and gave him a small beating. no one has tried to mess with me for about 4 years

  • I'll pick up a "mother fucking rock" anytime!

  • I love cazwells music
