An "It Gets Better" video that made me sob.

Trigger warnings for domestic violence, predatory sexual behavior from a teacher, talk of self-harm, suicide, depression.

Um, it made me sob and it's awesome. This chick is awesome.

Oh yeah, and while it's a video, it's all written on note-cards, so accessible for Deaf and HoH folks.

Oh wow, that was lovely. Her smile when she holds up the "I'm dating a girl" card? *tears up*

Yes, that was really special! I'm glad she's able to be that radiant given her history. Thanks, rm, I really needed to see that one today.

All of this and more. She's a survivor and more than that, a fighter.

I completely agree. That was a really good way to introduce that, and wow.

YES, that smile. Perfect.
