Don't forget me, I beg!

In perhaps the most chilling and relevant storyline in the show’s history, Dave Karofsky, a former McKinley jock who once tormented Chris Colfer’s character Kurt Hummel because of his sexuality, attempted to take his own life after facing the same kind of ignorance. Cyber-bullied by his classmates and humiliated when the word “fag” is spray-painted on his locker, Dave goes home, puts on his best suit, and tries to hang himself from a beam in his bedroom.

If that moment didn’t convince a few homophobes the error of their ways, we don’t know what will.

The scenes that follow are perhaps some of the more candid and gut-wrenching ever to be seen on the show: Karofsky’s father finding his body, his teachers blaming themselves for not doing more, and his classmates conflicted over whether to consider his act sad or selfish. These are the kinds of topics that need to be addressed in a world where so many young, precious lives are lost because of hate, violence and ignorance.

But the most important moment of the episode was hands down Kurt’s visit to the hospital to see his friend and remind him that there is so much to live for. He helps Dave imagine the future, a time where he’ll have a family and a career and a life he’ll be happy he still has to live. We just hope that every kid out there who feels alone, scared or unwanted, just for a moment, closes their eyes and does as Dave did. Imagine what your future might hold for you if you stay strong for one more day. And don’t do it alone! Get your friends together for a Glee power circle and support each other in making every day the best it can be … because every day can be wonderful! We’ll say it again, and we’ll keep saying it until the happy day we feel like it never has to be said again:

It gets better.
