Hey you, with your head held high well
You got him real good, I hope it feels good
Hey you trying so hard not to cry well
I know you're fed up, but keep your head up
Cuz, people only see what they wanna
People gone believe what they gonna
They don't understand the life that you choose
They never walked a mile in your shoes no no no no
So whatcha gonna do with your haters
Just gotta excuse their behavior
But just don't give up hope
I just want you to know that
Maybe today seems cloudy and gray
So full of sorrow and tomorrow seems so far away
But it gets better, but It gets better
And I know the world keeps throwing you strife
But Keep on strutting down this yellow brick road called life
Cuz it gets better, cuz it gets better
Hey you, wondering who you are saying
"There's something wrong here, I don't belong here!"
Hey you, don't you know you've come so far
and when there's nowhere to run to, I'll always love you
But, people only see what they wanna
People gone believe what they gonna
They don't understand the way that you feel
They never walked a mile in your heels
So whatcha gonna do with your haters
You gotta excuse their behavior
Don't you give up yet
Don't ever forget...that
Maybe today seems cloudy and gray
So full of sorrow and tomorrow seems so far away
But it gets better, but It gets better
And I know the world keeps throwing you strife
But Keep on strutting down this yellow brick road called life
Cuz it gets better, cuz it gets better

[@drewgaither7737]

Not mention he invented the computer. With out him, there may not be any smart phones, tablets, computers, or KZbin. Shudders.

[@bhanderwoman]

I was already crying and this made me cry even harder... I cry a little bit every time I think about him, he didn't deserve what happened

[@fayehiebert3979]

Me too, but we shouldn’t let his sorrows have been in vain. We need to change the world for the better so no one has to go through what he did again. I’m proud that he was such an amazing person of mankind.

[@MetanteiTriforce]

From what I saw of the story-- The guy with the rubix cube is gay, the note being passed was about him and that's why people bully him. The guy who gave him back his rubix cube was the older brother of a transwoman who he bullied and even beat up in the dark with his buddies when he saw her on a walk at night. She stepped in front of a train and killed herself, and the older brother realized what he had done. He has learned what the impact of his actions towards others are, and so instead of bullying the rubix cube kid he gave him his puzzle back, seeing a bit of his late younger sister in him and the way he was being bullied. I figure mentioning that the one who hands back the rubix cube is in fact a past bully is important.

[@mckaylamoney7593]

wow... that was deep bro

[@timothyconnors1239]

very true... this video is amazing

[@oberham]

+MetanteiTriforce Im truly sorry but, rubiks, not rubix

[@jamesstevens8526]

the guy who gave back the Rubicx cube was the older brother to the kid who got beat up, if you noticed from when he knocked his glass of orange juice and his dad just shrugged it off, and the kid might not have been transgender, could've just been a drag queen/cross dresser

[@oberham]

A few months ago I was planning on taking my own life. When I watched this, it kept me going. Now I'm coming back to this video and I want to thank you so much.

[@uncreativename4249]

I just read through some of the comments on this video. This is what I love about youtube. The fact that people come here, and share their stories, and help others going through the same things, and this song, and the clips of actual people talking, telling people that they're not alone, and then reading the comments and seeing everything that happened to these people, and the overall feeling of, family, almost. That you can trust the people who come here, and messages people leave, to people who are struggling to go day to day. That is what really got me. This video and song is so amazing, but what really gave me hope, was the comments, it gave me hope in humanity, and hope for a better tomorrow. That there are some good people out there, trying to make a better tomorrow, for others, and for themselves. So thank you, all of you in the comments, and Todrick, Chris Colfer, Ellen, and all of you others in this video, and even people who aren't here. Thank you for striving, and struggling, and pushing on to a better tomorrow.

[@lucyjuarez8584]

"it will get easier, people's minds will change, and you should be alive to see it" This is it. This is the quote that really helped me during the dark times. I remember 7 years ago, i used to watch this video almost nightly while sobbing my eyes out and suffering from not only others but abuse to myself as well. I had such a hard time believing that my life would get better, but hearing the break in her voice as Ellen spoke really resonated with me. It's corny, but i really felt like she was speaking to me, personally, thru the screen, and i felt seen. Anyway this video is a decade old already so i doubt anyone will read this comment, but i just wanted to say that it absolutely does get better and you should be alive to see it :)

[@MarkJ1984]

Hey Lucy, it's been 7 months since you left your comment. I hope you're still with us and that you're doing well. I have this video saved in a playlist and decided to give it another watch.

[@justanoreo2.0]

i smiled because he was on a unicorn (he is just that fabulous)

[@jaymazing9440]

Yes this was a beautiful video but toddy on a unicorn was amusing

[@richardesquivel7288]

I did too at first but then I watchedn it again and again and made me realize that it's okay to be gay I'm gay and that there's hope for us gays and that we just ignore the bullies and not kill ourselves for the bullies to learn so "it gets better"

[@TheWolfeMonster]

This song is perfect. I myself having been a bully, teasing others who seemed less than I was just so others would think I was cool. So many things I had wished I could change in middle school and a part of high school is who I used to be, but proud of who I am today being involved in charity runs, hosting school events for Anti-bullying, and starting over. Today, I have apologized and befriended every person I bullied and made them a promise to be a positive influence on their lives and to continue to encourage them to be who they are. My life got much better since my change and everyone deserves a chance of redemption and a chance to enjoy the pleasures of life without having to deal with stereotypes, racism, or being judged on homosexuality. Todrick Hall, you are my hero and this song defines "hope."

[@emilyzaragoza4833]

you are such an amazing person! i am so happy you decided to make a change.

[@oliverperry9731]

Listening to this song 8 years later and it hits different. When I was 14 I listened to this over and over but I never believed it would truly get better. Now I'm 22 and I've realized it has. It got better. All the things I never thought I'd do or be, the people I never thought I'd meet.. If you are listening to this and you don't feel like things could ever get better I promise you they can, often in amazing ways you could never predict. Keep holding on because it DOES get better. 💙

Like, I don't know, it was just all this sadness, and then he's there like a little kid still untouched by the harsh reality of hate, and I was all out of tears at that point, and I just started sobbing and laughing and it was terriblebeautifuluglywonderful

[@imabelieberforsure]

I just remember being in 11th grade, and feeling so hopeless and sad, and nobody knew what I felt inside. And I would come on youtube, and listen to music to get my mind off of all the things I had to do, and all the sadness I was keeping inside. :( But then I came across this video, and it gave me just the ounce of hope that I needed to keep on living... I realized that I can't give up, not for me, and not for my family. And now, I can proudly say that I am doing so much better, I'm in college now, studying psychology, and I am in such a better place. I can cope better, and I have so many things in my future! :) I hope that people can take this as a message. Don't ever believe that you're less than what you know that you are. You are worth so much! You have so much to give and offer the world. Don't let other people bring you down, and DON'T give up on yourself, on your family, and on your life. You are perfect just the way you are, and don't let anyone tell you differently.

[@panick_9550]

hi im nick and im 21 and im pansexual when i came out in august 2014 i was 19 years old and it was a few days before my senior year of high school started and i first only told a couple of people (my friend Meghan and than she talked me into telling my sister so i did and she was amazing and so accepting of me) and throughout middle school i was always called a fag so those first few weeks after i came out i kept telling myself that those jerks all those years ago were right and i went back to cutting and harming like i did before when it was really bad and one day my drama teacher saw the scars and she took me aside and asked me what was going on and i didn't have it in me to tell her i wrote it down in my journal for her class and gave it to one of my best friends to read and she did and i looked around the room and everyone was silent while she was reading it and she didn't tell anyone it was mine at first she asked the whole class what they would say to who wrote it and at some point my friend ashley stood up on her desk and said "whoever wrote it is brave and i understand them not wanting to say it themselves because they are probubly scared to death of what everyone will think and i want them to know that it will always get better i know it gets hard sometimes but if you leave this world i will miss you whoever you are and you have to stay strong no matter what" and than i ran out of the room sat outside crying because i could tell that she knew it was me and both her and my teacher fallowed me out a few minutes later and after talking to them about some things (i told them that it was me who wrote it) my teacher lied for me so that i could get out of class for the rest of the day and go home and i did and i just sat around in my room for the next day and a half and just wrote in my journal and wrote music and doing whatever i could to keep myself alive and went back to school after taking a day and a half to myself to just think and i walked into the auditorium (drama class was in the auditorium that day) and i just sat in the back of the room and waited for class to start and the lights were off and suddenly the stage was lit up with a rainbow wash and a blue wash spotlight (blue is my favorite color) and my friend was standing under the blue wash spotlight (he was actually the only guy i had told up to that point that wasnt in my drama class but he was chior and drama and chior were always close at my high school) and he started to sing this and at some points some of classmates and freinds joined in and it was a coming together moment for me and the drama and chior people that i was freinds with and didnt know yet and after the song was done my teacher told me that she submitted my name for the LGBtQ suport group at my school and than she showed me a video that she made the day before at the suport group and she had gotten short video messages from everyone in the group and they were all saying how brave i am and how much they would love to meet me and have me in the group and it was kind of a moment where i realized that i had another place in high school where i dont have to hide who i am (the stage was the first place and that suport group was the second) and after i stound up on stage and said that it was me who wrote the journal that my freind read i ended up getting yanked into a huge group hug by ashley and than my freind who sang this for me and than all of drama and chior and i ended up asking my freind what the name of the song he sang for me was and he said it was called "It Gets Better by Todrick Hall" and he told me that he was gonna do his own music video for it soon and he wanted me to be apart of it and we started filming the video about a week later and me and some of the LGBTQ suport group membors ended up recording our own personal messages for the end of it (it was an amazing start to my senior year of high school and i ended up doing every single play and musical that year and i came out to every single cast by reading that journal entry a couple weeks into the show when they started to get to know me for who i really am and not what society labels me as) and now whenever my depression gets bad i go watch this video and the one that me and my freinds made and i am almost to the point of crying whenever i watch this and it gets to the part at the end with Kurt from glee and ellen thank you so much for making this video Todrick it saved my life more times than i can count just thank you

[@alexbrunson1698]

that is such a loving and beautiful story

[@panick_9550]

+Alex Brunson and actually the year before during a rehearsal for a show i kissed a friend of mine named eric and i was bi at the time but hadnt told anyone yet and the summer before our senior year he killed himself and around the time of his funeral was when i started coming out because i know he would want me to and not hide who i am anymore and we had an anti bullying group called odds out a couple years before and i brought it back through the drama department and at the end of the year when i got an award in the drama department for being the most inspirational senior i walked up onstage crying because that was also one of the last times i would be on that stage that had become my home and i just said "i can't accept this because their is someone else who deserves it more and im.still here and hes not and thats the most unfair thing in the world ,this should be going to eric because if he hadnt been the kind person he was before he took his own life i would not still be here, but i will gladly accept this on his behalf and finally thanks all of you for being so accepting and making this department my home on and off stage and making me feel welcome my senior year after feeling like an outcast for most of high school just thank you"

[@frozenfeather13]

I've never really been bullied, so I may not know exactly what it's like, but we all experience things differently anyways, but I just can't imagine why people bully. It doesn't make sense of why people would tear someone down. It doesn't do anything for this world but negative effects.

[@gonzslaydxmercado1713]

frozenfeather13 (For those who'll read this be warned that it may be boring) (From the perspective of one who was bullied and a bully-er) I'm not sure if this would do anything for you but, apparently those who bully, for some, have a reason, like perhaps they believe they'd get attention from parents who don't give it to them, or perhaps they have a strong belief that they want to transmit(BEAM) and there's definitely other reasons out there and but if they did it for fun or for no reason at all then... I have no idea why. (But apparently many others have probably commented about this. teehee?)

[@devincisoccermusic1882]

GonzslayDX Mercado i was a bully and I almost got bulled I did I for fun I used to be in this three person bully gang of bully's but I didn't like physically hurt any body but mentally was a different story and i did it for no reason at all

[@cindyyang933]

frozenfeather13 some people can become bullies from being a bully, or even to fit in. at least that is my experience. I was bullied for a number of years and when it finally stopped (started making friends, moved classes), my (new) class began to bully this other girl, and i did too in order to not be bullied again. it really does depend on experience

[@DatNekoSebby96KuRo]

every time i hear this song i cant help but cry, every time. As the suicidal person i am it hits me hard when i listen to it and has always been what makes me decline any plans of suicide. Especially after last night, these guys threatened me about hurting my lgbtq+ friends and put me in a group chat where i was cyberbullied by having thrown homophobic slurs at, insulted and made a fool of. It went on for about 2 hours before I blocked and reported them all. This song is getting me through that, its really helping me breathe a little after all that happened. thankyou so much Todrick Hall for this video, i cant describe how much you've helped.

[@AFJHero]

I began to cry while listening and watching this song. It's so beautiful, so meaningful and passionate. It does get better.

[@erin1099]

At 9 years old I was bullied relentlessly because of my interest in 'boyish' and my apathy to what is considered to be 'girly' things. At 11 years old I got my first crush on another girl. I was confused, disoriented. I didn't tell anyone for fear of what they would say. I kept it a secret. I *had* to liked boys because I was a girl and girls liked boys . . . right? Wrong. I was so, so unimaginably wrong. At 12 years old I knew I had romantic feelings towards girls. I came out as bisexual, but a few months later, I found that bisexual was the wrong label for me. At 13 years old, I came out as lesbian. My own father asked if that was the cool thing to do now, and tried to prevent me from coming out. At 14 years old I'm an out and proud lesbian, who knows what it feels like. I've gotten those dirty looks, the awkward and offensive questions, I've been pressured into keeping who I am secret. And I'm here to tell you that it does get better. No matter how bad it may be right now and the days ahead of today, things will get better. It may not happen right away, but it *will* happen. You'll get to transition (if you want to), you'll have a boyfriend, you'll have a girlfriend, you'll be called by your preferred pronouns. I just want you to be around when that happens.

[@glitzyrocker691]

Project FYERBIRD Thank you so much for this, from one scared bisexual fourteen year old girl to a former one. It made me feel a bit hopeful.

[@fengariblue8512]

when I was in 1st grade up till idk maybe gr 3 (They still talk to me like shit up until gr. 5 or 6 but it lessen), cause I was so use to it didnt appeal to me as bullying but many people said that it was bullying. It appealed to me that I'm in the wrong, that I will live like that forever. I'm your typical emo kud except with the look cause I go to a catholic school, I cry everynight, I cut, I did everything to stop the pain and to feel pain, I hated myself, but when I turned gr 4 it lessen, no name calling, just less shitty ass remarks, just me giving most of my money to be acceoted by them, when I became a freshman it all change, I was starting to be confident, social and kinda talking to the boys who made my childhood a living hell ( without physical toture because as I said I go to a very strict catholic school?) with a face of not fear but kinda relief. Everything changes. If you want a change, be the person you know you should have been. Proud, confident and a strong person.

[@taylorlaw6418]

I'm interested in girls to but I can't tell anyone to beacuse they would make fun of me and beat me up I only confused it to ice friend they only hurt me 1 time but than it got better o started standing up and nobody messes with me

[@elliotsreviews6517]

Project FYERBIRD im struggling with trying to figure out what i like bc i feel like bi is the wrong label for me bc i like girls more but when i think about it i kinda have an attraction to boys to i just gotta have a good relationship with them first idk. I feel a really strong attraction to girls and it scares me sometimes. I am only telling u this bc i feel like u went through the sane thing i am going through. Im 14 now so that's 7 years I've been questioning myself. I'm not gonna say anything to my mom bc she's super religious thats why i wanted to come out as bi and than when i graduate high school just date whoever i want. But the thing is bi doesn't seem like a right fit for me and as time goes on I'm less and less attracted to boys.

[@cutieygirl1]

don't let ANYONE bring you down it does get better! I was bullied back in middle school and now as I got older I grew stronger and I don't let anyone tear me down I look back at them and smile because nothing kills a bully more than to see someone smile because they know they lost and like the video said stand tall and if you have try going to an adult about it tell them your being bullied they might be able to stop it

[@Momo_Minomo]

Sweetheart, I was bullied really bad in school, too. I tried so hard to be liked but they treated me badly, tripped me in the hallways, yelled slurs, and hurt me physically. Every day was a struggle and I had to be admitted into the hospital at 16 for self injury and attempted suicide. Now I'm 28 with a far more understanding and accepting family. I have loyal friends and a good life. I'm working on a degree. Things aren't perfect but I am very happy. I know it seems hard now but don't ever give up cause things will get so much better than you could ever imagine. With that said, though, don't be afraid to seek help. If you need a counselor, tell your parents or talk to the one at your school. If you want to help stop the bullying, talk to the appropriate authority figures. There is no shame in getting help.

[@EchoL0C0]

It will, and remember, no matter how bad things seem, you are NEVER alone. There are so many people with stories similar to yours who would be OVERJOYED to meet you and just haven't gotten the chance yet.

I'm so proud of all you strong men and women fighting y'all own demons. It gets better and it will get better. Keep up the faith and keep up the hope.

It's amazing and so heartwarming watching this years later. This was the first song I ever heard by Todrick, and now I just finished Straight Outta Oz. I am so proud and grateful to be here to witness all the amazing work he has done since. This song is partially to thank for that, for sure. :)

I love this song so much and I only found it 12 hours ago.

[@jordanh5603]

Thank you, Joshua, for showing me this :)

[@Funnysharper2]

Seriously, this song is just amazing!

[@lorifasano3385]

Same thank you josh. It brings tears to my eyes that this is still happening.

[@josephhall3194]

When I heard about the shooting in Orlando I came here this song expresses how I feel and I pray for the people that had there lives taken away and the family sad day

[@soupcanoe]

it has been almost 10 years and I still remember all the words. This song helped me so much. I can’t believe it. Thank you.

[@Emiilyy1996]

It may get better, but you never forget the damage that's been done

[@ItsJustMeElida]

When Ellen gets choked up that's where I lose it. Like I'm already crying but that part always makes me start bawling.

[@beckajazhunds1162]

YES YES YES YES YES

[@taylorharvey7912]

I cry evey time I see this song

[@DarkNightOfVampires]

Wow, I’m in tears. I remember listening to this one years back during the time everything felt utterly hopeless and I was in a bad place..I was scared it would never get better but today I can say, it got better. I’m still struggling because of the trauma I’ve accumulated but I have those in my life today that makes me glad I stayed alive. Beautiful video, beautiful message.

[@tunedupngo5531]

To Todrick, I bet you wouldn't bother reading this message but that is fine. I just want to thank you so much for this song. It means so much to me because i have been suffering depression the last two months, been bullied for 8 years straight and things have been terribly hard. But watching you and your videos makes me so happy :) I hope you understand how you have helped so many people and brought happiness to heaps of people, Thank you for everything xx :)

[@reesep6847]

[@sanderscalder]

This world is so much better with you in it Todrick. Yes it's been said before. And I'll say it again. Your beautiful light has shone in my darkness. From here to there. Thank you. Xx

[@donnag4940]

Having lost both my dad and little brother to suicide this video really hit home. I just want to say Thank you for taking an active roll in helping to prevent suicide and bullying.

[@sarmadasco]

For all those, who like me, have been through bullying, hateful things…and the like..things this song talks about…it does get better…..and there are so many, SO MANY people out there who will be there for you to help you get through the rough spots. All you need to do is ask. So…before thinking there is no hope left, no heart left, no courage left…ask for help. It is easier asking for help than it is hurting yourself. I promise you this. I know, too, from experience…..tragic, irreversible experiences. Bit I am still here, due to the help of people I didn't even know. Have faith…! Please!

[@hannahtucker1186]

not gonna lie I've been sitting here for wayyy too long now saying in going to bed after this one and then I ended up at this song crying my eyes out!!! I myself struggled with the darkness of depression for years and found that it does get better... but my sister wasn't that lucky! A few months ago the depression she was silently struggling with won and she isn't with me any more because of it... I only wish she would have realized that it DOES get better!! Now my goal is to insp;re as mean people that I can reach out to and incourage them to seek help... because I promise you it does get better! I want to stop the next person's loved ones from feeling like my family and I do... so if your still reading share with someone a smile and tell them you love them because you never know what they are going through insp;re them sorry this was so long but as I sat here listening with tears rolling down my face I couldn't help but think of my beautiful sister and how much I wish I could have shared this with her!!!

[@StanTheBlueYoshi69]

If you're Straight, Gay, Bi, Pan or anything, just remember this. Do you like tomatoes? If you answered yes, then would you care if someone didn't like them? No, you wouldn't. If you said no, would you care if someone else liked them? No. So what if someone doesn't like you? That is like the tomato question isn't it, so think about it that way. Think about it that way and your answer will be no, won't it? And also remember this, if someone doesn't like tomatoes, other people do like tomatoes. So if someone doesn't like you? Well at least 1 person will always like you.

[@StanTheBlueYoshi69]

***** No problem

[@KatieSmither32]

This is awesome thanks.

[@StanTheBlueYoshi69]

Katie Smither No problem (-:

[@samr3785]

I am completely strait and my BFF is bi and my crush is too busy I still love them like family its like why would I care how they feel about someone else it is their feelings that count don't bully someone because they are different and don't be judgemental everyone is bi in their own way

[@sccubing1586]

I don't like tomatoes but I respect everyone's opinions 😊 live life how you want to and don't let society change you because when they do, you'll never turn back.

[@bryantvanwinkle6171]

this song has made me cry several times over the years. im 30 now. time flys by so fast.

[@jordanfrancis427]

I get the chills..... This is amazing.... The voice... The meaning... Everything touched my heart

[@jordanfrancis427]

How could people dislike... Even if you don't like it... Think about the meaning.... Spread positivity not hate

[@-Fallen_Petals-]

I can never get tired of this song

[@KogasGurl13]

I'm absolutely in love with this song. It always gets me during the videos, especially at Ellen because it's so so true. This should definitely be an anthem and everyone should hear it. I know this song will save millions of lives. It does get better :)

[@darkwolf5275]

I wish this was on spotify

[@preetinayan6642]

Nothing, and I mean nothing, has ever hit home to me like this song and video. Still to this day, I can't listen to this without crying. Thank you, Todrick

[@cookie_dough_justin5933]

wow... a song never got to me like this, it never made me cry, but this did... I get bullied and this just... I don't have words to describe it. all those people I just can relate to it and I just... I don't know. Todrick, you are such an inspiration and I want you to know that because of this song I really feel so much better. not just better but amazing. I'm still crying, this got to me so bad that I just want to live again. I wanted to end it but you made me realize I shouldn't. Todrick Hall, I look up to you. you are so strong and confident. I'm just really glad you made this video and all those others like Freaks Like Me. you are one of the very few reasons why I still think there are good people on this world. +todrickhall thank you :") thank you so much :"*

[@martinachooffey1843]

+average karma Never give up. People love you even you don't know them yet.

[@iycessmastrangelo716]

WHY AREN'T YOU FAMEOUS!!.

[@arnashiagray7443]

really is he not he is amazing this song really speaks to me

[@Gxby16]

He was on American idol that's pretty famous to me

[@SmileySmiles]

I think ipshottv means more famous, like with millions of subscribers cuz Toddrick definitely deserves them :)

[@rightonthemoneycrew7158]

he should be famous

[@bugaboo4756]

I listen to this when I think that my life needs to end. This brings me happiness everyday and makes me push through everything and live one more day.

[@maelawver9592]

The only song I've ever bought on iTunes

[@maelawver9592]

This has helped me through some tough times

[@windnchgo]

This song should be an anthem. Amazing and passionate!

[@IsaiahLawrence]

Those shoes are fabulous 2:18

[@terrylett3127]

I just watched this video, and thought omg why didn't they have something like this when I was growing up. I see that more people hate this video than liked it. WHY? because it's exposing just how cruel parents, siblings, supposed peers can be to those different, and set apart? haters gonna hate, callers gonna call, ballers gonna ball. great message guys. no one can change who you are inside but you. make what you become something and someone positive, and have positive affect on your world. LIVE to see change TAKE PLACE AROUND YOU. YOU ARE WORTH IT. WE CARE.

[@iamjustamomdoingthebestica6999]

ive seen this soooo many times and i still cry every time.

Saving lifes.. Including mine..

[@TayTayRose2]

Lives* correcting myself. 😂😂 7 months later and it did save my life. 😄

[@NEtripleS]

I just need to say thank you to Todrick Hall...I love this song and it sends a beautiful message. Thank you so much for making this. Yes, it takes time to get better, but keep the hope and keep your head high, because no matter who you are, you're perfect. People can beat you down all they want but you can take that and rise above them because you are amazing no matter what people tell you. I've been through all the "I don't think this is going to get better, so I'm gonna give up" and all the other stuff that comes with it. The depression, the self-harm, and pretty much everything else, but I do have to say, that it can get better if you tell yourself that you are perfect and that you are who you are because you're supposed to be there. Yes it can get bad, but take that pain that you get, and turn it around to build you up. Trust me, it does get better. Everything said in this song is so true. And I love it. And thanks for that Todrick Hall. Myself and a ton of other people really appreciate it.

[@SalvatoreDiaries1]

This song saved me. I finished school nearly 2 years ago. Now I study law in Germany and I’m already now more successful than my bullies. They tortured me for years. Said that I’m nobody, I’m ugly and even touched me and harmed me. When I heard this song I believed u and you where right.

[@katelyntebeau1922]

This touched my heart in such a strong way. Thank you for being a person who loves. Loves everyone. The world is so much better with people who spread love. 💜💜💜💜

[@selenaDAS]

Todric is such a great idol, he has such a nice voice and ideas. I don't get why he doesn't have more subscribers. Fuck all those beauty gurus on youtube who does not do anything. Let's support people who are talanted

[@torim1224]

this song saved my life

[@upperdecker313]

7 years later and this is still such an inspiring song. Thank you @TodrickHall

[@SeaMistress89]

This song has been my "feel good / better" song for years now and I just wanted to thank you for that. It's helped me through some really rough times, and as much as I don't wanna cry, it still helps so much to listen to.

[@thomascampbell350]

This made me cry so hard

[@emmahammons6718]

this video brought tears to my eyes so what if your different you should still be treated the same way as others it is so horrible that people make you feel so bad you can't go on but you need to because things do get better trust me

[@bouncingbean]

This is an amazing song & fabulous video. I’m a mom of a trans/nb teen and an ace teen. Because of my involvement in LGBTQIA+ community through wanting to learn about my teens’ experiences & how to support & encourage them, I came to realize a couple years ago that I am bi/omnisexual myself. We have times when we struggle, it’s not always easy, but my spouse is generally supportive and I’m so amazed by & grateful for my wonderful family. I am here to send out hugs & support for anyone who needs mom hugs or in search of affirmation. You are an awesome person just as you are, who deserves a great life & a web of friends to lift you up into the light. It Gets Better.

[@nicolejohnson2550]

9 years later and i’m still a fan, literally more than half my life i’ve been watching him and i don’t plan to stop , i love you❤️

[@Spadez.]

Being a big dude, I was always picked on. I used to play football, baseball, basketball, etc, then gave it up because I was forcing myself to play. I did not find much joy in it. Started with the football team bashing me for not joining the team. I had no friends outside the team and with them gone, i was free to find people I actually connected with. I thought I found a girl that loved me, found that she used me to get close to someone on the team. She left me the moment I left the team (started dating him 3 days later). Heart broken, lost and hated in a school and town that revolves around sports; I set out to try to find anything that would keep me floating. I found 1 friend. He loves me dearly (in a friend way) and we have been working to better ourselves. The truth is. Once you realize that you can chalk these bullies up to haters that hate you for your success, you have to realize you already won because they are giving you attention, they are fueling your flame of creation and chances are they will not see the flower that you will become. Remember, life is worth living, life is worth having and life is worth it. RIP Daniel Kyre

[@kayteag6088]

Mr. Indubitably she wasn't worth being in your life in the first place then . I hope you done forgot about her

[@markv.brooks3035]

[@hannahnelson1695]

All these comments are heart breaking. If you are a bully STOP IMMEDIATELY yours actions do hurt no matter what even if you arent physically hurting someone or mentally, it can cause damage, if you as a bully really anyone read these comments and analyse and think before you commit these bullying, because people should express them self in anyway, shape, form, sexuality, gender. Life should go with out saying that it can change no matter what happens or occurs. PLEASE bullying is a strong thing to me to stop. STOP, STOP, STOP

[@jeencha2065]

This year has been complete sh!t. So glad I listened to this again.

[@EbruErbash]

Greetings from İstanbul, Turkey. I'm just a female with no gender issue of any kind and here I am in tears, so impressed by your work. A comment below reads "The world is honestly a better place with you in it." and I'm here to just confırm it from this corner of the world. You are definately one of the most talented artist I've ever seen and I'm sure that it will get better and better for your career too. Hope to see you soon in İstanbul, thank you Todrick, merry christmas and happy new year. p.s. Lying to Myself is still top on my list :)

[@rachelgore6455]

If you're being bullied just remember that when you get out of school, none of that will affect you. You'll probably be 10 times more successful than the person who bullied you because you were kind and you learned a lot. So just remember that I won't last that long. It does get better.

[@LoveMB33]

[@judasarchelious709]

been coming back to this video for over a decade now and it continues to encourage me and push me forward. when this video first came out (he he) i was 16 and hadn't come out to any1 yet, but this song gave me the guts to try it. and while coming out is an ongoing process that continues for years, i took my first steps partially because of this right here. now, not every experience i have had coming out has been good, FAR FROM IT, it really is true, that IT GETS BETTER.

[@jahgaming9509]
