6. In today’s digital world, it can be impossible to escape online
bullying, whether it takes the shape of harassment, spreading
rumours, sharing embarrassing information or threats. This
year, Pink Shirt Day is encouraging others to combat
cyberbullying by thinking twice before posting something
negative, and instead using the internet to spread kindness -
because we know that Nice Needs No Filter!
Wear pink on Wednesday to show your support of this worthy cause!
