What reading level is It Gets Better book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I’m twenty-five, so let’s go back ten years, to when I was a fifteen-year-old high school kid. I was quite an artistic teenager and I got picked on for being gay. I’d get pushed and shoved and called “fag.” It seems silly now to think that being called a fag would be that upsetting but, you know, when you’re fifteen, school is your whole world. So it really did hurt. I remember one time someone had graffitied a bench at school, writing vicious things about me on it. And another time, someone spa...t at me. There were some pretty awful, pretty hard times.
But here we are ten years later. Let me just put it this way: I live in a great city, have a great job, make a good living; life is good. But I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t checked out those same bullies on Facebook to see what kind of lives they were living today. I’m happy to say they look like losers. The thing about these people is that no one is born homophobic, no one is born racist. These ideas are given to them by their parents or religious fanatics, or other negative role models, but when they take on those prejudices and hatreds as their own, it doesn’t make for a good, happy person, or a happy life.
