Great job, Dan. But as a teacher, I feel that telling kids "it gets better" when they are dealing with shit on a daily basis isn't enough.
Take this to the next level - yes, it gets better, but something more needs to be done to confront the bullying that is still occurring.
Start a movement where students, supportive parents, teachers and other allies confront the school administrators who stand by and allow this to continue. Hold schools accountable for their failure to act. Many states have new, strict anti-bullying laws.
To say it gets better gives a pass to the bullies and schools that are failing our kids. Bullying is a violation of a person's civil rights and it is not acceptable to say it is a part of growing up.
