"Make It Stop (September's Children)" is the latest video from rockers Rise Against, and it comes loaded with a powerful message. The video serves as a poignant anti-bullying message that speaks to members of the lesbian, gay, bi, and transgendered youth community, spreading the message that "It Gets Better."

The band performs in a darkened gymnasium while we see several instances of bullying happening around the school. In the last minute or so, we hear encouraging messages from real people who have been harassed in the past or understand what the victims are going through.
