My friends list has a few empty spots of people who didn't make it to adulthood. I often wonder, if they had the people and resources that I did growing up, would they have still been here today?
We can't fix the bullying problem overnight. We can't save every adolescent. But could you reach out to just one? Mentorship takes time, effort, and energy; I'd mentor them all to never see another story like this.
Young women today face enormous challenges, and they are more vulnerable to approach by abusive forces because of our 'social' media, than any generation has been in recorded history. Self-esteem is such a fragile thing, and young girls are being pressured at such an early age to be 'sexy,' to feel wanted, to feel accepted. And their are sick, sick people out there willing to exploit their vulnerabilities.
I know of many people who have struggled through similar trials. Can we pay this forward, start mentoring someone today, and stop another personal narrative from being cut short by abuse?
