"It gets better" is one of the best things I've ever seen enabled by the Internet. Ten years ago, this message would never have reached the kids who need it the most.
This video makes me so proud to work at Adobe. I'm out and proud here at work and have never felt any form of disrespect or disdain. My entire team knows about me and have no trouble with me. I wish I had something like the "It Gets Better" campaign when I was young - perhaps I wouldn't have spent the first 39 years of my life in self-loathing! Thanks Adobe!
I applaud all of you guys and Adobe for doing this. I am fortunate to have been able to work with many of you and as a straight guy I think what you guys are doing is awesome. I hope there comes a day when gay friends don’t have to say that they are different. You are not different rather you are gay, just like some people are men and some women, some Black, some Hispanic, some White, we are all people and that is what matters.
what is the sense of talking about the time in our life when the only things that counts and will remain constant will be your passion of doing certain stuff and having some passions. If you can't pass that sitouation, when you feel lonely or whatever i think that you are not a normal person, you are weak. Getting over those problems is not something to be proud of. It's just normal. Excuse me if my english is not so good, i'm not a native speaker.
It's not just other gays who will understand. It's not only gays who will accept you, befriend you, support you - hire you! My husband sent me this url, and we're straight, old, middle class (laugh)! Everyone is different, and ***that is good!*** Hang in there, and outlast the bullies, because you not only need your life and your future, *the world needs you.*
I am straight, but why does this video so encouraging to me? haha... we love you whether you are gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, black, white, green, orange (whatever that means lol). It gets better!!!
@chrisholland with that mindset you will have to avoid almost every single major US and International corporation. I hope you can farm, hunt, build, repair, and create everything you need to survive in this world.
@ArseneLAB, it is good that you never suffered for being gay. But this project started well after the 80's, when kids who did suffer, who were victims, took their own lives. I live in a conservative community, and there certainly are hateful people, and it is worth it if this video helps even one lonely kid. It was made as an act of kindness, and kindness is never wasted. Don't be embarrassed by this video.
If possible, go to a better school if you're at a jock school. I went from a "football" high school to a school that specialized in the arts and the social dynamics were like night and day. Changed my life and the openly gay peeps there didn't feel so much like fish out of water. High school sucks ass but a good school makes all the difference.
@wild2dreamer hey i was reading your comment and i just wanna say i know how you feel. i hate to sound like everyone else but your not alone. i know what its like to want to end it all. i myself have come close to suicide several times. i hated who i was. i finally found an interventionist who i was able to talk to. i remember a week ago today i told them and now that i have i feel so much better. its baby steps. find someone you can talk to, you'll be so much better off when you do. trust me.
@wild2dreamer God doesn't hate you. Of course he doesn't hate you dear! And certainly, there are people who love you. Or who will love you in the future. You may be alone in your town, but you are not alone in the world. There is a big world out there, full of kindness and equality. As hard as it may be now, and it sounds very difficult, it will get better. Find someone, a trusted teacher, adult to talk to. And never, ever think that you are alone. Because you're not. People care.
@ArseneLAB Tell that to 15-year-old Lawrence King from Oxnard who was gunned down in his classroom by a classmate for being gay a little over three years ago. Just because your own personal experience has been unlike those portrayed in this video does not mean these type of hate incidents do not occur on a daily basis elsewhere in this country.
@galvanenator it doesn't have anything to do with you galvanenator, but i couldn't post, I don't know why, i'm sry: Hey everybody! I'm so moved by the video. I'm 18 from a latin country where queers are strongly discriminated. I'm queer and I've suffered a lot due to it, for everything these people mentioned . I'm still in the closet, which is something that is killing everyday and I even tried to suicide when I was 13, but I won't do that again, cuz I've already accepted myself,

Thank you Adobe...you are consistently making me more and more proud to work here.
Loving the 'It Gets Better' campaign. Shows that brands can be good for people, and everyone can be successful from all walks of life.

Even as a conract employee of Adobe, this makes me proud to work here. Thank you to all of my GLBTQ co-workers for this.
I'm proud of those of you in the video, and proud of my company. Fantastic.
So, So, So, So beautiful. More magic from the IGB campaign. Well done, Adobe Systems employees!
i've been watching these It Gets Better videos for about an hour now, this one literally brought a tear to my eye :')
Great video. Never been more proud to work for Adobe.
It should bring tears to your eyes, too...

I need to bring these comments back to life IT GETS BETTER KIDS!! Be yourself and don't let these bullies get you down!
I am so proud of my cousin (by marriage, I am proud to call him my cousin) for speaking out.
I'm proud to work with you and to work at Adobe!
I miss you guys. I wanna come home.

Why has the Apple one been blocked?
I'm a heterosexual teenaged girl, and I felt exactly the same my entire life, but it wasn't about my sexuality, it was about me being me. :(
@ObamaPacman - This is neither the time nor place for the snark.
