10 ways to share kindness online
Last year, the percentage of US teens who experienced bullying online stood at an all-time high of 36%. The UK figure – 19% – also represents an unhealthily large proportion. These numbers are by no means unrepresentative of the global picture, either – and recent increases in young people’s screen-time and anxiety levels during lockdown periods only inflamed the situation.
To lend our support to Anti-Bullying Week 2021, we’ve produced a special #WakeUpWednesday guide of suggestions for how we can all be part of the antidote to bullying by sharing kindness online instead of cruelty. The theme of this year’s event is ‘One Kind Word’ – and indeed, such small, sincere gestures online can go a long way to helping someone experiencing a tough time.
