i've listened to your album "Pieces of You" literally thousands of times, i love you and you are so beautiful in and out, your music gave me power to go on. thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Jewel, your voice is loud and I am so happy that you are proud OF us. I can't tell you how much this video has done for me. I've listened to your music my whole life... To hear your very won words affirming my life, as well as the future generations to come... Bless you bless you bless you.
Can't believe it took me this long to find this! So glad you (my idol that inspired me as a child and every day since to write and love myself and others) are a supporter of Love. Thank you for your kind words and sharing your art with us. Love you!
i love you jewel. thank you for this. i have loved you ever since your Spirit album, and in fact, your Spirit tour was truly the first concert that i had ever been to, outside of band or orchestra related stuff i had been to for school. the best thing of all, it was my partner (of 13 going on 14 years now) was the one who took me to see you in concert. it was a fantastic surprise gift. i even bought my first concert shirt as well. the spirit album will always have a special place in my
That was very inspiring Jewel and I think the world needs more people like you because we are all still children in our hearts. The need to feed our souls though music and art is essential for our progress as well as our sanity :) The Musicians and Artists are the super heros of the youth and societies world wide, no matter your nationality you have the right to be inspired and to inspire. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK JEWEL! KEEP INSPIRING!
Hearing this from someone, anyone is so touching even though I'm ok with being a lesbian. But there was a point where I wasn't and I hated myself, but this is something that these kids out there really need to hear. Thank you. It get's so much better guys, oh man how it get's better. You're not gay by choice it's who you are and it's a beautiful thing. Love is beautiful no matter if you're gay, lesbian, bi, transgendered. It's all beautiful.
Hi Jewel. Thank you for the song 'Pieces of You' it opened my eyes to the fear people have of gays, and jewish or people from another race. You are one of my favorite artists good job.
Ciao Amici! It does disturb me that this still occures in the 21st century! I've been desperately trying to communicate to young folks, just how much better it's gotten, since a boy I once loved(Bobby Griffith/Prayers for Bobby) long ago, and I stood together, "out" and quite alone! Blaine
I thank you Jewel!! I am such a HUGE fan of yours and this just makes me happier that you stand up for gays....you are truly great role model!! and to anyone reading this....Jewel is right!! Life will get better for you once you get older.....you meet interesting people and your life will improve once you meet others in this great community!! I promise.....I over came being gay in a small town......now I have the most wondermous friends in the world ....the best thing is they love me for me
Thank you, Jewel, for this wonderful story and for sharing your big, compassionate heart. My mom and I watch the PBR all the time. (Ty's the best, though he's not competing any more, of course.) Hope you try out again for "Dancing with the Stars!" My best to you. --David
Instead of fighting, why don't we help one another? How can we help those people who needs are attention when we ourselves are projecting negativity all over the place? Seriously, people.

@lltrf While it should just "be" better, it isn't possible. You can't flip a switch and change the way people think overnight. You can't just change the way people act, you need to change the beliefs and thought processes behind those actions or it is meaningless. That kind of change takes time. That doesn't mean we don't need to do something about it, but it does mean we can't expect instant results.
Not just gays, different, people that stand out or different get bullied too, and you shouldn't bully somone cause their different then you, everybody is unique in their own way.It's just sad that people make others reach the point of suicide, they should be ashamed of themselves.
@twistygirl i agree w/you twisty...not only for the GLBT to see straight ppl, but if 1 person out of 100 sees a celebrity speaking up- that's one life possibly changed to think about things a little differently and pass on views to others, etc. positive people are needed on all sides of this topic. the civil rights movement wasn't only minorities fighting- it took all sides coming together before assholes opened up their eyes to change. we need jewel just as much as ellen and doogie howser. :oD

@perfectestperson which is what is so insidious about homophobia...we are forced to be traitors to ourselves. I hope it has gotten better for the ultimatum giver, too. There's too little time in life for any hate.
@echoshadowlight You don't have to be gay to go through the same ridicule and hardship they tend to go through. Mental retardation, deformity, ANY thing that makes you differen't from the "norm" is picked on. It just so happens here in the past 2 months we've had 5 suicides of people being bullied because they are gay. These videos are to show them PEOPLE CARE and that there are places to go and people to talk to WHO WILL LISTEN. they don't have to be gay to have compassion...
i've listened to your album "Pieces of You" literally thousands of times, i love you and you are so beautiful in and out, your music gave me power to go on. thank you
Thank you so much for your support Jewel. I've bought all your albums and I think you are beautiful. Love you lots.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Jewel, your voice is loud and I am so happy that you are proud OF us. I can't tell you how much this video has done for me. I've listened to your music my whole life...

"Your greatest burdens are your greatest assets." Wonderful and beautiful wisdom. =)
We all need friends like Jewel. Someone who knows how to stick to someone regardless of differences in the person.
Can't believe it took me this long to find this! So glad you (my idol that inspired me as a child and every day since to write and love myself and others) are a supporter of Love. Thank you for your kind words and sharing your art with us. Love you!
This is one of my favourite "It Gets Better" video... I have brand new respect for Jewel

Very kind, thoughtful, sincere, heartfelt words. It is what sets you apart and makes you very special.
Jewel, Your a true example of being beautiful inside and out. Thank you for supporting people that are different!!!
God i love her. Shes so amazing and i wasnt even born when she was huge. People like her are the reason the world it improving.
Jewel, you are amazing and beautiful in every way. Thanks for posting this.
I Love Jewel!!! thanks for the support!

KEEP INSPIRING!
Jewel, you just made my day. Here's sending you some love back to say thank you.
If there is anything that I teach my children that sticks w/ them, I pray that it is compassion....

I saw the conviction in her eyes when she said it gets better!
Jewel, you're so beautiful, inside and out... thank you for taking the trouble of making this video, the best for all of us :)
You Rock! You speak from your heart. Thank You!
Hearing this from someone, anyone is so touching even though I'm ok with being a lesbian. But there was a point where I wasn't and I hated myself, but this is something that these kids out there really need to hear. Thank you.

Ciao Amici!
It does disturb me that this still occures in the 21st century! I've been desperately trying to communicate to young folks, just how much better it's gotten, since a boy I once loved(Bobby Griffith/Prayers for Bobby) long ago, and I stood together, "out"
and quite alone!

It only gets better in stories.
What a gem. Truly a gift from God.
mraurora no
Love u jewel
Why the thumbs down? If people choose to be gay then let them be gay. If one of my family members decided to be gay I would support them.

Sadly enough, I don't think there has been nearly as much progress as you might think.

@animefareast So you think hate is acceptable, but love is wrong and filthy.

@stacyinsane oh wow, i'm sorry if i offended you. i see now i was wrong. you are right, it is not a choice. i apologize for my poor choice of words.
TheAmazingAtheist
IT DOESN'T.
@oddtreenow2, your description of gay people makes them sound exactly like Christians. And republicans!
Who wants to have everlasting life?
