It all started with a YouTube video on September 21, 2010 -- Dan Savage and his partner, Terry, shared their thoughts with bullied youth with a simple message: it gets better. Videos from Barack Obama to Lady Gaga followed, as did an hour-long MTV special this February that earned an Emmy nomination. Tonight at 11/10c on MTV and Logo, an all new "It Gets Better" special follows Hunter, Natalie, and Vecente as they each take steps forward in their coming out process.

Bella Thorne knows how to “Shake It Up” and I'm not just talking her Disney show! Cheesy joke, I KNOW. Seriously though, besides her acting and singing career, the teen starlet is also a first-class philanthropist.

A HUGE congrats is in order for a group of Orange County students, as well as Betty DeGeneres! (Yup, Ellen's mom!) These smart young students have sparked a very inspiring movement in California by pushing for implementation of anti-bullying policies. We are excited to see that as of July 1, schools all across California will now be required to enact these policies that these fine young students have advocated for! *Crowd Cheers*
