Sebelius Tapes "It Gets Better" Video For Bullied Teens
CQ HealthBeat (10/29, Norman) reported that HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius "has taped an 'it gets better' video aimed at lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth."
Notably, "the 'It Gets Better Project,' centered around videos, was founded by writer Dan Savage in September following the suicides of a series of teens who had been bullied."
In this video, Sebelius says, "Don't let the bullies win and don't let them cut your future short. ... We need you and your talents, and whether you feel it or not, lots of people do care about you. I promise you, it gets better . Today may seem dark. But tomorrow will be brighter."
