I remember being a middle school aged girl was a difficult time and wanted to find a way to help other girls. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, among those who were cyberbullied, nearly twice as many female students reported being bullied online or by text (27.7%) as compared with male students (14.1%).

I networked with other adults and found a licensed Social Worker who was willing to help. I coordinated an event for 30 Girl Scouts in my local community about healthy social media strategies and how to deal with online bullying. I coordinated a panel of teenage girls to answer questions from firsthand experience and make the attendees feel comfortable.
