President Obama - It Gets Better Project

There is an ongoing project in response to the recent teen suicides called the "It Gets Better Project." Here is a message about it:

Hey,

Have you seen all the YouTube videos about how it gets better?

Dan Savage the writer started it, but now there's over a thousand videos, including ones by TV stars and politicians like Tim Gunn, Kathy Griffin, and Hillary Clinton.

They're actually part of the It Gets Better Project, started to help teenagers who are being bullied for being gay. Young people who are gay, lesbian, bi or trans can share stories from their lives and watch other people's stories for hope and inspiration.

You should check the website:

This is such a cool project that I really wanted you to know about it. I hope you visit the site!
