Social Media Kindness Day 2021
Spread kindness each and every day! You know the saying… “If you haven’t got anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.” … Well, the same can be said for social media.
Yesterday was Social Media Kindness Day. Bullying online and in-person is a vital issue for schools to combat & prevent where possible. Social Media is used by over 70% of 12-15 year olds! The risk of online bullying and social media hate is at an all-time high!
Be kind today and always – and always think about the impact that your words can have on people’s mental health.
