Growing up isn't easy. Many young people face daily tormenting and

bullying, and this is especially true for LGBTQ kids and teens. In

response to a number of tragic suicides by LGBTQ students, syndicated

columnist and author Dan Savage uploaded a video to YouTube with his

partner, Terry Miller. Speaking openly about the bullying they

suffered, and how they both went on to lead rewarding adult lives,

their video launched the It Gets Better Project YouTube channel and

initiated a worldwide phenomenon.

It Gets Better is a collection of original essays and

expanded testimonials written to teens from celebrities, political

leaders, and everyday people, because while many LGBTQ teens can't see a

positive future for themselves, we can.
