Speak for Dolly

This is such a sad story but one that too many families are having to deal with. Today is The National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence. Be warned as we were both in tears last night watching it. Dolly left behind a beautiful drawing with these words on it. If you watch the video you will see it.

Dolly took her own life earlier this year after online bullying. Suicide is the leading cause of death of young Australians.

What a heart wrenching story Sheralee, sadly its a sign of the times and unfortunately its the same over here education and zero tolerance towards bullying is the only way to stamp it out :)

[Peter Grave]

No punishments and until people are held responsible for their actions not much will happen unfortunately !!

:( I feel that bullying has become more prevalent, easier to achieve and anonymous since the introduction of social media. So very sad xx

@psychographer I agree Lisa, social media makes it so hard for the victims.
