The It gets better project was created by Dan Savage and his partner, Terry, in the wake of the suicides of numerous gay high schoolers last september. The non-profit organization allows members to upload and watch videos of love and support from kids who may be suffering from bullying. The project has received submissions from Lady Gaga, President Barack ObamA, Ke$ha, Anne Hathaway, and many others. Now, punk band Rise Against has collaborated with the It Gets Better Project and relaesed a new single called "Make It Stop (September's Children)" to bring some extra attention to the cause.
Lead-singer Tim McIlrath saw how important it was to spread the anti-bullying message, so he made a video about what it's actually like to be bullied at school. The video feels moving and inspiring at the same time, with some actual snippets of submissions from the It Gets Better Project woven into it.
