First Trans Prom Queen Offers Hope to Suicidal Teens

Scroll To Top

Andi Viveros, who made history earlier this year by becoming the first transgender girl crowned prom queen in the U.S., has come out with her own It Gets Better YouTube video in support of Jonah Mowry's heartbreaking "What's Going On" YouTube video that went viral last week.

"I recently saw his video," says Viveros, "and seeing him pouring his heart out broke mine. I know that his video was made a few months back and he is doing better now, but he is not the only individual going through that struggle. This video is not only for him, but for everyone."
