520    Every story can change a life. Growing up isn't easy. Many
       young people face daily tormenting and bullying, making 
       them feel like they have nowhere to turn. This is 
       especially true for LGBT kids and teens who often hide 
       their sexuality for fear of being bullied. Without other 
       openly gay adults and mentors in their lives, they can't 
       imagine what their future may hold. In many instances, gay
       and lesbian adolescents are taunted-even tortured-simply 
       for being themselves. After a number of tragic suicides by
       LGBT students who were bullied in school, syndicated 
       columnist and author Dan Savage uploaded a video to 
       YouTube with his partner, Terry Miller, to inspire hope 
       for LGBT youth facing harassment. Speaking openly about 
       the bullying they suffered as teenagers and how they both 
       went on to lead rewarding adult lives, they launched the 
       It Gets Better Project YouTube channel and initiated a 
       worldwide phenomenon. With over six thousand videos posted
       and over twenty million views in the first three months 
       alone, the world has embraced the opportunity to provide 
       personal, honest, and heartfelt support for LGBT youth 
       everywhere. It Gets Better is a collection of expanded 
       essays and new material from celebrities, everyday people,
       and teens who have posted videos of encouragement, as well
       as new contributors who have yet to post videos to the 
       site. While many of these teens couldn't see a positive 
       future for themselves, others can. We can show LGBT youth 
       the levels of happiness, potential, and positivity their 
       lives will reach if they can just get through their teen 
       years. By sharing these stories, It Gets Better reminds 
       teenagers in the LGBT community that they are not alone-
       and it WILL get better.
