Wow. It's kinda silly - I'm not a teen, I'm 27 - but this put tears to my eyes. I've been a bisexual activist for years now and I still feel this isolation. Seeing a video like this is heartening and exciting.

We don't need our teens to just "hang in there", we all need to fight. For our existence, for our rights, and for our lives.

Brilliant! Thank you. This video is truly needed. I know they are not the only bi people to do It Gets Better videos, but certainly the most high profile.

Seeing as how recent studies into sexual health found that "bisexuals are the sexual orientation group most likely to suffer from depression and suicide" -- it's so important that bi teens are not left out of the message that it gets better.

Thanks you guys!

does anybody here have to deal with stupid stereotypes, i do, like i'm a slut who's promiscuous thats the killer right there, and i hate it because i'm completely monogamous!

@dementia2009 me too babe! i'm 24 and i feel like i'm sooo alone. i have a few gay friends who love me for me and tell me "hey its 2011, don't let people box you in, its a new century and mellinium who cares what people think!" that gives me hope because its true, you love who you love and i love this video because its supports that!

Thank you. This means so much to me and other bi people :)

This is the first 'it gets better' vid that really touched me on (a more) personal note.

Thanks :)

Don't get me wrong, I love and support this message whole heartedly...but did anyone else thing they sounded like spokespersons for a cult?

[raspberrymoussenet]

Thank you for creating this video. It's great to see members of the bi community reaching out to the youth. Bi people (especially teenagers) face really unique struggles and need the support and love.
