The 12 Most Fearless Teens Of 2013 - 10

 Jacob Rudolph
This high school student from New Jersey came out as LGBT to his entire graduating class, as well as parents and teachers, in an impassioned, unforgettable speech. The teen was accepting an award for Class Actor at a school event. "Sure, I've been in a few plays and musicals, but more importantly, I've been acting every single day of my life," Jacob told the crowd. "You see me acting the part of straight Jacob, when I am in fact LGBT... So take me, leave me or move me out of the way, because I am what I am." Watch a video of his speech here.
