Saving Lives
It is without a doubt her story and anti-bullying message has and will continue to save lives. As a result of her Tedx Talk, Lizzie has gained an even bigger following than ever. She also has built a community around her online presence that offers support and guidance to bully victims. Lizzie believes others take comfort knowing they are not alone and are more able to speak, seek help or stand up to bullies when they have support.
Fighting For Legislation
Additionally, as a result of her Ted Talk, Lizzie has teamed up with Tina Meier. Tina’s daughter, Megan, took her own life after being bullied online. Lizzie and Tina are working together and are campaigning US Representatives of Congress to vote in favor of an anti-bullying bill. If the bill becomes law, it would mean that all schools would have to start recording every instance of bullying and would be provided with funds to put towards anti-bullying efforts. Nice job, ladies!
