It is common knowledge that Lady Gaga loves her “Little Monsters” more than making a fashion statement. She is also a huge supporter of equal rights for everyone and making the world a better place for younger kids and teenagers.

That’s why it was not a big surprise when news popped up this week that Gaga has partnered with her mother and  Harvard University, as well as another foundation to create the “Born This Way Foundation,” set to launch in 2012.

She says that the foundation will focus on empowering the youth of the world and putting a stop to bullying.

This comes after one of her “Little Monsters,” Jamie Rodemeyer, committed suicide after being bullied because of his sexuality. Gaga tweeted that she was sick over the idea of someone being pushed to the limit to take their own life.

Gaga herself was bullied as a teenager and can sympathize with the people who are being bullied because they are different. Mama Monster promised her fans that she would talk with President Obama about the many problems with bullying and young suicides that have been happening recently.

Last month she followed through with the promise and questioned Obama about bullying at a fundraising event hosted in the President’s honor.

When she was basically shot down by the President who only thanked her and retold his administration’s anti-bullying campaign, Gaga once again promised that she was planning to meet with Obama to really sit down and discuss the bullying problem in this country.

She has been quoted saying that she wants bullying to become illegal since it is most definitely a hate crime.

Bullying has become more apparent in today’s society, especially over the past year or two.

Suicide is the third highest cause of death amongst teenagers and suicide attempts in gay teens are higher in politically conservative areas. It was also said in a study that 20 percent of gay teenagers attempted suicide as compared to 4 percent of straight teenagers in the past few years.

Bullying and suicide have been highly publicized ever since a gay Rutger’s University freshman committed suicide last fall. There have been many campaigns put out by a number of different outlets to bring spotlight to this problem.

One of the best known is the “It Gets Better Campaign” where normal teenagers and celebrities alike partner together to post videos on the It Gets Better website telling whoever is struggling to stay strong and stick it out because they have people who care about them.

MTV also jumped on the bandwagon launching the “A Thin Line Campaign” against cyberbullying and digital abuse.

Both of these campaigns, along with Gaga’s new foundation are setting up a better world for the youth in this country and around the globe. Younger kids need role models and positive messages to stop the bullying and stay strong because it will get better.
