Only 18 out of the 50 states in the U.S include cyber-bullying in their anti-bullying legislation. Bullying is a serious issue, and even when teens are home they have access to social media, which is such a huge platform. It is important to have rules and restrictions against cyberbullying because out of all places, that is where adults have the least amount of influence.


Our goal is to bring attention to the topic so that people will realize that we need to consider cyberbullying as a for of bullying because it is in fact very serious.. We want all 50 states to include cyberbullying in their anti bullying legislation.

I have been reading the heartbreaking stories you are leaving in the comments and it reminds me exactly why I started this. No child should feel trapped in their own home by harassment they cannot escape. We are currently preparing to send these messages directly to the legislators who have been ignoring this crisis.

Seeing this movement grow feels like a weight lifting off my shoulders because I know how much pain this causes young people every single day. Your support proves that others finally see the urgency of protecting our kids online.

Schools act like they cant do anything because it happens after 3pm. This is just wrong.
