14-Year-Old Who Made ‘It Gets Better’ Video Commits Suicide Amidst Bullying
“It gets better”
You promise
As you rake fingers nervously through tousled hair,
Glancing periodically beyond the camera’s view
“It gets better”
You repeat
Treasured mantra for fourteen year old
Taunted and belittled at every turn
“It gets better”
You allege,
As you try to reassure other queer kids marooned in adolescence
Yet four months later,
You are gone…
