In the comment boxes for posts about these It Gets Better videos, you occasionally see someone complaining that only gay teens are getting the love, when adolescents of all stripes get bullied, feel like shit, and sometimes kill themselves. But in the same sense that the Smiths hit the spot for me back when my love for boobs dared not speak its name, any kid who thinks they Have It Bad could easily benefit from watching adults encourage and empathize with teens who Have It Worse. I wish the folks muttering enviously about this remarkable, moving attempt at outreach would make the effort to emulate it for the kids they feel are being left out. If they’d feel silly doing it, maybe that’s a sign they didn’t really have it so bad in the first place.  (via leilacohanmiccio/chriskelly)
