Former White House financial reform adviser Elizabeth Warren, who is challenging Republican Sen. Scott Brown in Massachusetts, had put up a new YouTube video for the “It Gets Better” project, aimed at gay youth:
I’m Elizabeth Warren. And you may be wondering what I have to you? After all, I haven’t lived your life. But when I graduated from college, I was a schoolteacher. And I watched what happens in hallways, on sidewalks, out in the schoolyard. I watched kids who pushed, who bullied. I saw how much pain some kids could inflict on other kids. But you know what happens? It does get better. It gets better, because you’re not alone. There are people who care about you, people who love you. Reach out, find friends. And if it feels too hard, call the Trevor Project — 866-4U-TREVOR. Because here’s what you’ll find: There are a lot of different people out there in this world, and a lot of people who celebrate those differences. That’s what makes us strong, that’s what makes us exciting. So hang in there — it gets better.
