This is my contribution to Dan Savage's "It Gets Better" Project. I hate being camera so I've done it a little different. I chose to write my story about it getting better. It may take a minute (or ten) to read but it's worth the read. And even if you don't finish the video, know that IT DOES GET BETTER!
If you or someone you know needs immediate help, call The Trevor Project at 866-4U-TREVOR or www.thetrevorproject.org. They are there for you 24/7/365 just to listen if that's all you need.

Your statement at the beginning of the video that it may not have as much impact because u didn't appear in it could not be further from the truth. This is one of the most powerful, heartfelt contributions I have seen to the It Gets Better project (& on all of YouTube, for that matter) -- and I have watched a lot of em. THANK YOU for taking the time to share ur personal story (which resonates with a LOT of people of ALL ages, believe me). It took a lot of courage & u ARE making a difference!

@Gamec0ckGrad I hope you'll share the video since you feel it to be so powerful. I never thought about making one until last night because I hate being on camera... So I figured I'd do the next best thing and just write what comes naturally. I'm pleased with the outcome if it helps just one person realize that they need someone to talk to.
