It is wonderful that all these influential people got together for this important cause. The positivity of Pride Month must continue.

[@TylerOakley]

Heyyyyyyy my two internships collaborating - Trevor and EMC! LOVE IT!

[@gymsoccerkids]

OMG! IAN SOMERHALDER! Gosh this man just gets finer and finer everyday. I love this project. I support it 100% Finally someone came up with a solution with a growing problem that is occuring right now.

[@MakinoMesa]

I just came out of the closet a year ago, and I just started high school. After listening to this song, I felt more confident in myself. But then going into high school was a different story when I suddenly had to go though the same shit about me being bisexual. SO LISTEN UP! IM PROUD TO BE WHO I AM! LIKE THIS IF YOU AGREE

[@chasedabull620]

I wanted to thank you, Trevor Project, for all that you are doing to help in this fight. The work you are doing is amazing and priceless...you are a constant, solid foundation for so many to stand on when they need it. Keep up the great work!!

[@RyuzakiL1994]

My friend is gay and he was bullied badly. i showed him this and he felt much better. the bullies afterwords were expelled. Good job Tim!

[@a_living_zombie]

People are people no matter who they decided to love, what race, religion, where they are from. NO ONE ever deserves to feel like they are alone in the world. NO ONE deserves to be bullied for who they are. I would honestly fight one of my best friends in the world if they EVER bullied a complete stranger for being gay or anything. Everyone deserves to be love.

[@TheKneesock]

Hatred is an unnecessary outlet. Respect everyone for who they are. You don't have to like everyone, or be their friends, just respect them. Respect breeds respect.

[@TheCedesssss]

It gets so much better. There are people out there who will respect, love and care for you because you are you. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you are not worth anything but greatness. The only wrong thing you can do in this world is not be yourself. If someone is trying to bring you down keep your head up strong, because you are better than them. You are loved. Don't ever give up on anything, espically YOURSELF. Love is louder than the pressure to be perfect. Stay stong.

[@aliebellule]

I don't know much about questionning but I know about being bullied. Even as i understand completely only part of the matter, I think my testimony can be useful. I used to be the frigile girl that people picked on because I never fought back. A guy followed me around during month whispering me that I was ugly and unworthy of any love when he was sure no one else was listening. Needless to say, I was traumatized for years. I felt bad about myself and I could have easily given up on life.

[@CarlaSuciu]

i'm not gay personally, but this made me cry, its so inspirational.

[@songbyrd5]

Yes, it gets better! Thanks to all these folks adding their voices to help our LGBTQ Youth know - IT GETS BETTER!

[@deviija]

Beautiful message and I appreciate it very much. Visibility and acceptance is so important.

[@checkpoo]

bullying will never stop, its been going on for ages

[@darwinm906]

annne hathaway my queen

[@Yepimdatguy]

So glad that so many celebrities are putting their selves on this. Hopefully this will help so many people!!!

[@ReesieRoo1]

Your work means so much to so many people... Keep up the good work!

[@soccerlover2834]

Lady GaGa has told us to embrace who we are. I am straight but yet I aprove SO much of this project. I believe that everyone has the right to love who ever they wanna love and should NEVER be made fun of for it. You will (if not already) find someone who excepts who you are and loves you for who you are. Lady GaGa says that you were born this way so why not embrace it? I am proud of how much progress our nation has made by helping all the beautiful gays, lesbians and homosexuals. IT GETS BETTER.

[@stellabearx3]

this happened to me last year i got bullyed by some sick cruel girls and people still talk about it by watching this it makes me have hope for a better life ........and 1 more thing it does get better!!!

[@SakuraX7]

Can they please get Dumbledore to do one of these Trevor Project clips? I can't think of a better spokesman. "Help shall ALWAYS be given to those who ask for it." It would just be so perfect!

[@GayLABoys]

We did a Trevor Project It Gets Better video. Thanks for the inspiration and the help!

[@firefly313]

it's so great that all these celebrities talked about the trevor project & support the cause. & i was surprised about kristin cavallari being in it! didnt know she cared about things like that

[@MsEmoCloud]

i am glad i am part of the trevor project. coming out as lesbian didnt cange my life at all. and this helped me to get rid of depression. THANK YOU TREVOR PROJECT!!!!!! XD

[@aliebellule]

But eventually I decided that it couldn't go on any longer and I got help. Somewhere along the way, I learned to stand up for myself and for others who live similar situations because hey YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We are thousands and we are there for each other. I built myself a self-esteem and an identity. They can always try but I won,t let anybody take that away from me again today. I survived and got out stronger taht I ever was. I did. Hold on and someday soon you will too. It gets better.

[@CrimsonAmaryllis]

"Jesus had two dads and he turned out fine" :3

[@yourfaceh8zme]

I have used the "Trevor Project" quite a few times for both me and my friends. Trust me guys and gals,it really does get better. You might feel like shit now,but your future will hold a paletheral of better times IT GETS BETTER! I can say that from personal experience that the "Trevor Project" really is an amazing organization. With out them,I'd be dead right now.

[@Mysticblue1212]

What you people do is so wonderful. I am going to school for my BA in Digital Video and Film production. If there is ever anything I can do for you, please let me know.

[@foodiefoodayyy]

Thank you Anne Hathaway, for participating in this important project!

[@BreakfastAtJimminys]

Anyone who thinks this way please make a video too. I've done one and I think if everyone who supports this did one or showed support in some way maybe some of these kids would realise how much support there will be for them. x

[@poppyjanetvids]

even though im straight and not even bullied all these videos make me cry!

[@mrmaxanthony]

now this is the kinda thing that makes an active difference ^^ offers hope, and help for a solution. good video

[@stevenpaine2010]

it never gets better, im so depressed and so isolated i cant take it anymore

[@xlaurensparklesx]

I admire everyone out there who's doing these sorts of videos. And to the LGBT community (or anyone else who's being harrassed, made fun of, etc.): I promise that if things are bad, they won't always be that way, and you will grow so much stronger. You all have my support and you're too important to lose.

[@epicfromagestudios]

I feel sorry for those 21 people who think it doesn't get better because it does get better

[@delkitten]

i can't believe stricter laws against physically or verbally abusive homophobia haven't yet been put in place! there has to be something more we can do than sit around hoping that these poor souls will consider calling before they decide to off themselves

[@smileneful]

i don't understand why people are against people that are gay, lesbian, bi, trasgendered etc. like hating someone for who they are.. and thats totally wrong. I'm so glad that google chrome launched that commercial "it gets better" it brings so much hope for a lot of people.. including me

[@slctoon]

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

[@ITMeCE]

im a gay guy and i just wanna say im sooooooo glad people are FINALLY starting to care about gay people and finally figuring out were human like EVERYONE else and if theres any gays getting bullied i just wanna say dont listen to them you keep going strong and be proud of yourself! those mother fuckers dont know what their talking about

[@monkywithatazr]

Are there any videos like this for kids who are just depressed?

[@jgray110]

I was at the point where there was nobody to turn to, not priests, not rabbis, not church, not family, not friends, not even "Holy Mary Mother of God", nobody, and nothing but hopelessness. But there is one human being who came back from the dead just for us. The Lord Jesus Christ. The secret garden.

[@doctorwhogirl77]

I am Catholic, and I do believe that people have the legal right to love WHOMEVER they want. I have a gay family member, and I love him SO much. I, myself, am bisexual. Not only do I dislike those who are homophobes, but I dislike those who make generalizations about Catholics being homophobes. Yes, some of them are. However, I believe any Christian person who is rude to someone just because of their sexuality isn't truly acting on their beliefs.

[@paurukun]

Anne Hathaway is my inspiration, I'm straight and I know I have a discreet gay friend, He admitted it to me and I just told him "Its okay, you're like my brother and I dont care if your gay, thats who you are and I'll accept that." and so did Anne hathaway. she was a deeply religious woman that wanted to become a nun but when she found out that almost half of the christian church started stereotyping his brother because he was gay, she changed her point of view and decided to support his bro. :D

[@juanessmendez]

I called the Trevor Project hotline and the operator was not available...

[@iamraphael]

Videos like this gives me hope, i'm not alone :)

[@lifeasjoshua6402]

I'm christian and is my family. I wanna come out but I'm too scared. How should I come out to my mom? Should I write a note to her?

[@GvLucero]

I think that your sexuallity is not who you are, you are more than your sexuallity, God is love and he understand everything, so ur parents would understand

[@hannahemiliasings]

I'm a Christian and I believe wholeheartedly in God. Why does that mean that I have to hate gay, lesbian,bi, transgender people? Why does that mean that I have to think someone else is 'wrong' or 'sinful' just because they are different to me? It DOESN'T. I believe in the universal love of God, NOT the Bible. God loves us all, if that's what you believe in - love being the operative word. The Trevor Project is amazing. Everyone is equal. Homosexuality is natural. That's all that matters.

[@VanManDamn]

I know I shouldn't be talking about this but Ann Hathaway looks so amazing in this. Thumbs to Katerina Graham and Julie Benz too.

[@Aranwion101]

@TRE1275 I'm so sorry for whatever has happened in your life to make you feel like you've lost hope. The older I've gotten the more I've realized that teens are inordinately cruel to each other. So, so much crueler to each other than adults are. Hold on, there is hope and love in your future!

[@sydandtaytum]

@nizamm the phrase 'opposites attract' is used to describe opposite personalities, not gender. just because you are too closed-minded to listen to what people are telling you (that gay people are not attracted to the opposite sex) doesn't mean that they are wrong.

[@LizTiddington]

Who is the woman in the first clip of this video? I don't recognise her, if you could, could you post in the description the names of all the celebs who spoke in this video? I'm so glad the campaign is getting such a lot of support :)

[@livinthelifeiwanted]

i want to donate but id on't have money or a credit card. dang! i hate being penniless. how can i support you guys?

[@whooped9]

Thank you

[@chaoticfantasycosplays]

First of all, as a bisexual tween girl, let me just say that gays, lesbians, and bis didn't do anything wrong to this world. We don't hit on every person of our same sex that we see. We don't spread "gay germs." I honestly don't understand that when a guy kisses a girl, it's no big deal. But when it's a guy kissing a guy or a girl kissing a girl, so many people have to hate. Still, thank you for the people that ARE supportive. Long live The Trevor Project!

[@snowyga3210hah]

Don't give up!! You will find what you are looking for :)

[@fakearms123]

Thats HILARIOUS! Kristin from The Hills speaking about bullying, thumbs up for irony!

[@firefly313]

@tigereyes141 if you're gay or questioning your sexuality, yes. if not, there are regular suicide hotlines, youth suicide hotlines if youre a teenager/kid, and crisis hotlines where you can call if you just want to talk to someone. AND kids help phone! the trevor project has people who are specifically trained to talk to LGBTQ youth about sexuality-specific issues.

[@deestar54]

its getting better oneday at a time

[@MistyEyez]

HEY I have a question... I also did a video.. and I have gotten several emails from it... Is there a place I can forward them? Someplace bigger than me?

[@Raquelucha95]

I really love this project even if I'm a straight girl 'cause I think we shouldn't bully someone around for that, is his/her life and we have to respect them, they are persons too, they have feelings like any other human has and we must not hurt them for that. Besides, we're on the 21st century for god's sake! We left those stupid thoughts behind a long time ago alongside any other thoughts about black people, jews and class division of people. Put your feets on the ground people and grow up!!

[@JustinHatsu]

No one should be bullied nor hated for their differences... not on my account.

[@PaulLeary]

It Gets Better. Wonderful video -- thanks for Anne Hathaway et al

[@mspotterhead22]

i am a straight catholic but i hav no problem with gays and lesibians y cant people just stop bullying them? trust me everyone it will get better u hav so much to live for

[@THATGUYAGAIN1]

Ok, first I want to say that I am a straight male. Not because I don't want people to call me gay for saying what I am going to say. Because I want people to know that I am different from these people, but that I love them all the same I am not going to hate anyone who doesn't support homosexuals, nor am I going to pitty them. They do not want me to, and I don't have time to waste on them. I just want to say that there is NOTHING wrong with any of you, and that I am proud to say that I love you.

[@Saingirl101]

@DarkOwlDarling PLEASE don't say that! Theres always a reason to be alive. I know where you are coming from, I am also bisexual and I am also depressed a lot of the time but believe me when I say things will get better. I know things seem hopeless now but thats because your just at the beginning of high school. I understand your worried about your mom and your relationship with your parents but hang in there. Please talk to yuor friends, trust me when I say they will understand and it will help.

[@BreakfastAtJimminys]

@mariekitu I apologize about anything that might have offended you, i weren't saying you had to if you didn't agree with it. In my opinion this isn't patronizing, it's a message of support for people who need it, and some people do need it. It's not just about gays and lesbians and so on, the message transends that, and I don't mean to be defensive if this is how it comes across, but I am not sexist or 'don't care about that'.

[@VerdiAero]

Here in Chile we don't have that kind of support, I told my parents I'm gay the last year on november, my mother get a little bit depressed and ashamed of anything that meant to be with me in public, that was so stupid because if i don't tell you i'm gay you'll never notice...Lol, my father really loves me and he feels really proud of me, I feel lucky for that. But the highschool was terrible for me, because there was a rumour about me and the people looked at me like crap.

[@TamagoSenshi]

Ian Somerhalder: There is hope and there is help Me: Help, my clothes are constricting, get them off

[@olimakiella]

@Theclowcard I totally understand that. I keep getting asked if I'm a lesbian just because I support gay rights. I have witnessed what hate against homosexuality can do. I NEVER want to be a part of anything that promotes that. EVER.

[@gleekprincess16]

im staright and tottaly support this

[@lemonadechild]

Wonderful. To me my heroes are gay people cuz they have the guts to come out! You are my heroes thank you

[@knackeredwriter]

It Gets Better, I Swear.

[@dancer1122]

@Allureist you are totally right. it kills me that people are ignorant enough to think that homosexuality is a choice, and even if it was that it would be a sin to choose that. America is was founded on the ideals that everyone was equal, no matter their like or dislikes, and was supposed to be a place where people who are different can live peacefully without prosecution. oh and yes i am a christian, just so you all know.

[@KatieEXO88]

i am straight but this is the best vid ever made

[@DirtySn1pEr]

wahh okay im trying to find this song.. It feature some of these people at the end. It was an anti suicide/bullying song... Does anyone know the name? i know the lack of info but i forgot who sings it or what the name of the song is...

[@skyorpia101]

HELLO little ones listen to those people cause it does get better and we can change the way people act even if ur not gay and ur being harrassed for no apparent reason it does get better and for the people watching on the sidelines DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT don't just stand there and watch some kid get beaten up for what they believe in or because they look diff. WE ALL MATTER NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS SAY helping is the first step to people believing in themselves again

[@purpleprisky]

It does get better.

[@bekerhx]

It's ridiculous that this even needs to exist. Homosexuality should just be automatically accepted without question, just as Heterosexuality is!

[@Unbeginner]

@ItDoesNotGetBetter It got better for me too. Adulthood is not as terrible as high school years for gay folk. Those are the years that are simply to be endured. Gay youth should just try to keep doing well in school and either evade confrontations or just keep strong, maybe try some relaxation tehniques and try to get some sleep every night.

[@MarcIndelicato]

It gets better !

[@dumbblonde521]

I love this, but what if your not LGBT or questioning but you feel alone and are being bullied? Can you still call?

[@randomgal13]

another good cause that Ian's a parts of.... i look up to him so freaking much...

[@Pinkranger87]

i was called gay all kinds of mean name is in school. I am now a huge support gays and anti-bulling, in school because school is ready hell for most us do we need more presure from people

[@ffffhhful]

THANK YOU

[@mherndz2386]

My at for one of my classes looks like Anne Hathaway. And I can't take my eyes off of her. So beautiful.

[@1Danguard]

And if you read the Word of the Lord then you know what must be done !!! Please, don't let this chance slip away. Take care and I sincerely pray you make the right decision.

[@SebastienCade]

Ah! Matt Parkman from Heroes haha. I adore Julie Benze and Anne Hathaway, I'm glad they are a part of this!

[@doctorwhogirl77]

@Fulltonic You're defeating the purpose of my original comment. Not all Christians are homophobes. I am a bisexual christian and we are more common than you think. I was raised Catholic, I went to a private Catholic school for 9 years, and I was the ONLY out bisexual person in my school. Like I said before, any Christian person who is rude to people for being who they are isn't acting on their beliefs and therefore are not true Christians.

[@addisonshinedown]

@Smifarino just to add another to the bullied people, those who aren't homosexual, but are abused or disrespected or bullied and called homosexual. There is nothing wrong with being homosexual, but it is wrong to accuse anyone wrongly. of anything.

[@notiboy__]

Join & Support The Trevor Project.......... Wherever you are it doesn't matter.. you can help somebody's life...^^

[@judgehangman]

@kakezzy it does. Sometimes it just seem like it won't, but people are always there to hold you tight and be strong for you when you can't be. Just keep holding on and it will. You'll see.

[@sabria320]

If you call it do you talk to the people in the video?

[@7bunny]

Laser1237. Thanks for sharing your story. Very brave. Hopefully it will others. Thanks for sticking around :)

[@whambamram]

Excellent Video

[@OhayoTokyo]

@theherdmentality This is obviously for people who need guidance and support. Not everyone is able or willing to stand up to bullies. There are different ways of coping through bullying. And who knows, by possibly calling this hotline, these troubled teens may build up the courage and confidence to confront these bullies. So... I completely disagree with your comment.

[@cartooncrazy122]

It Gets Better isn't just for LGBTQ, it's for anyone in a bad situation. I'm doing a project at school on it for citizenship and if any of you want to make a video and send it to me, well that'd be great. Lets spread the word that IT GETS BETTER!!

[@theatrebritty]

Do I spy Candis Cayne? Ah! And Anne Hathaway....this is such a great campaign, and I think this will make a great difference. Thank you.
