“Bullying has always been a problem. But with the advent of social media — where unkind words can reach a victim anywhere and at any time — the problem has become an epidemic. Over the next few weeks, many important voices will be dropping by to chime in on the matter.”

Bullying is still a rampant problem. Kudos to Vivienne for trying to encourage the victims. I feel honored to be a part of this. I can only hope that some of the spirit of resistance will rub off. I can only hope that at least some victims won’t take the wrong decision and remove themselves from this world, but that they will stop being victims.

An excellent choice of subject. Nearly everyone I know has been the victim of online bullying. So many horrible people pick on others because they know they won’t be identified or made to pay for what they’ve done. Its just cowardice.
