It Gets Better Project
(YouTube One Channel)
This site was created to show young LGBT people the possibilities of potential success and happiness in their future—if they can just get through their teen years. After reading about the suicide of a bullied teen, co-founder Dan Savage said that if he could have just talked to that teen for even five minutes, he might have averted a tragedy. So he helped to start this site to talk to teens everywhere through YouTube. The site presently includes videos from people from all regions of the world and all walks of life, including politics, sports, and entertainment, offering encouragement to young people as inspiration.
