Video: Adam Levine’s “It Gets Better” Message
In the video, Levine shines a light on the harassment that goes on in high schools and how life gets better after the experience. “I hated High School but if you can get through it there’s a whole world that exists beyond people treating you badly,” Levine said.
Along with Levine’s video, Neil Patrick Harris, Ke$ha, Jason Derulo, Perez Hilton and others have made videos for the “It Gets Better” campaign.
