Justin Bieber Joins “It Gets Better” Campaign [PSA VIDEO]

Justin Bieber has joined forces with Ellen DeGeneres and other Hollywood big names to take a stand against bullying in response to a wave of gay youth suicides across the United States.

The Canadian singer and newly-minted American Music Award winner, 16, appeared clad in black baseball cap, black shirt and several necklaces — including one with a cross — to share his 20-second PSA, posted on the website of The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week.

“Hey guys, I’m Justin Bieber. I just wanted to say there’s nothing cool about being a bully and if you’re getting bullied make sure to tell someone and, you know, it gets better. And if you’re a bystander make sure to step in and help out.”

The video, a part of the “It Gets Better” campaign, follows similar messages posted by high-profile celebs, including President Barack Obama, Katy Perry, Chaz Bono, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Khloe Kardashian, and Neil Patrick Harris.

Now time for our good deed for the day: If you or someone you know has experienced homophobic bullying or violence, don’t stay silent. There are people who want to help you. Reach out to them at The It Gets Better Project (ItGetsBetter.org).
