Piper punched her mouse. Again. She screamed and flopped on her bed. Why was this blue-haired girl so upset? It was because of some of the awful comments she had received on an Instagram post. This wasn't the first time it had happened either. Piper Oakes was a constant victim of cyberbullies. She was like a fish. Always being baited. One account would beg her for a post, and then they would take her post and say terrible things. Piper tried to ignore the mean comments and decided to post more. That only broke her down more and earned her the nickname "Cyber".

The next day, Piper was in computer class. It was almost as if an angel had whispered in her ear. She had a great idea. With a few clicks, Piper managed to make another Instagram account. She easily tracked down the cyberbullies Instagram pages and realized that they were also victims of cyberbullying. There was only one thing left to do: kill the hate with kindness.

Piper started to personally DM the cyberbully victims and told them kind things about their posts and not to let people tear them down. Piper also put kind messages on her alternate account. She made it clear that her page was a positivity-only zone.

Within a few weeks, the followers poured in. It turns out, that because of Piper's page,  cyberbullies were decreasing on Instagram. Even on Piper's main account she received an apology from one of the bullies. In the end, Piper was a secret messenger of rays of positivity.

Let this story be a lesson to you,  being cruel is no way to be popular.
