Does "it get better" really?!!!
#1


Biglaugh First with the positive: I must congratulate Joel Burns, Fort Worth City Council Member, for making a youtube video for "It Gets Better" Campaign that I can stand behind!

Now for my "beef" with the "It Gets Better" movement! Firstly, people who are suicidal don't need to hear from people who have a great life that "it gets better"! They need to hear from people who struggled or have struggled with the same problems that these people are going through! No disrespect intended to the celebrities: but I feel that you only want attention and publicity for your "acts of kindness"! How can you honestly hold a straight face broadcasting this message, when you are rich, famous, you have friends, family, people who throw themselves at your feet, and you can have anything you want! Life for you is Good for you, but realistically at this point in your life you don't know what it is to be gay/alone/hated to the point where you feel you are no longer valid in life and want to end it! Furthermore you want to patronize people with a message that is delivered through a 10' pole. I wished that if you are going to offer a message of HOPE then show your realness and willingness to help by providing your contact info.... I don't want you to be stalked, but if you are going to offer hope then offer yourself as the beacon of that hope! be a friend to those who are friendless!!!

Another story of people who want to be "kind" but at a distance! A preacher from Dallas, TX friended me on FaceBook after reading some of my dark thoughts. he told me that i should seek help. Instead of offering himself as a friend to help me through the rough times and speaking to me one on one, he offered and invited me to his church- someplace I could belong! My problem with this is that I am not important enough for the preacher to want to speak with me, but I should go be a member of his church where people wouldn't want to speak to me either. Don't sell me a seat in your church, sir, show me a piece of your heart so that I can feel loved and wanted!
