Best Answer

The Trevor project was founded by James Lecesne, Peggy Rajski, and Randy Stone who are respectively the writer, director, and producer of a 1994 film called Trevor. The film features a gay thirteen year old boy who, upon being rejected by his friends for being gay, attempts to commit suicide. When the Academy Award-winning film was set to air on HBO, Lecesne, Rajski, and Stone realized that their audience might in fact include teenagers facing the kind of situation portrayed in the movie. When they discovered that there was no resource for youth facing such situations, they established The Trevor Project.

Why is the kid's project different from the other student's ideas in the movie pay it forward and why do you think the other student's ideas are different from Trevor's?

The kid's project in "Pay It Forward" involves doing random acts of kindness for others, with the recipient then helping three more people instead of repaying the favor. This differs from the other students' ideas because it focuses on creating a chain reaction of kindness. The other students' ideas may be more self-serving or lack the same level of impact and generosity as Trevor's project.
