Butterflies Against Cyberbullying

Hey guys.

So today there was a writer at our school and you're probably wondering why I'm telling you this, but I'm getting there.

Butterflies Against Cyberbullying is a new campaign, I guess you could say, against cyberbullying. Against all types of bullying.

50% of teenagers are being bullied over the internet or at schools. That's a shocking number. We hear about these things every day, but we don't always pay that much attention to it. Other times we want to help, but we don't know how.

That's why Butterflies Against Cyberbullying was started. Marion Erskine, a South African author, wrote this book about a teenage boy who is a victim of bullying. In this process he wanted to make people more aware about bullying and all that.

I don't know if I'm making completely sense, but I'm sure you get the idea.

When you see a kid getting bullied (and you really can't help) or even when your friend is doing a debate and he/she is really nervous you show the butterfly sign. It basically means 'you're going to be okay'. This video really touched me because there's a boy in this video who has a disease. Basically his brain works, but his body doesn't. He also wanted to be part of this video so his parents helped him make the butterfly sign.

This really touched me and I wanted to share it with you guys.

Please share this with your friends. It could help a lot of people.
