AvadaKedavra saidwhy do all these gays that made these "it gets better" videos go on to kill themselves? i think this is the third gay that has created a video and then committed suicide. wouldn't that just give other gays the impression that it doesn't get better?

This is my thought exactly. I don't mean to be rude but it's a bit ironic (I'm probably using it incorrectly) when people make a "It gets better"-video and go ahead and commit suicide.

i mean, if i backed out of suicide after watching this video because i am convinced that it gets better and then i find out the dude kills himself i would be like "WTF? i thought it gets better! i guess not. it aint hanging around for shit. time for me to go."
wrestlervic saidI don't understand why this happened. He seemed to finally be away from his family and with people he liked.
Lostboy saidI suspect some people make them to persuade themselves that it is already better when it´s not.

And it did get better but when your journey begins in hell it takes awhile to reach the surface.

You´re not using the word better in the same way as me. He obviously *wasn´t* ok. He may not have been as terrible as before, but sadly not better enough.
