It’s ironic that early yesterday morning, while I was working on my soon to be launched global anti bullying campaign, I got a call from an Aussie friend who is visiting in LA. She told me about suicidal tweets from TV personality, Australia’s Next Top Model judge and author Charlotte Dawson. At first I laughed, thinking she was being hilariously dramatic and giving the trolls a good run for their money. I logged on and watched the twitter feed and there was one tweet, since removed, that made me feel this twitter war was taking a turn for the worse as we were watching the screen. I’m not going to go into what it was because that’s Charlotte’s business but in hindsight I am thankful she posted it because that’s when I knew this whole situation could go horribly wrong. I’ve been in that place and it is a very lonely scary place and I know how quickly and easily a life can end. That’s how I lost my mother and I too have been there too many times to mention.
Yes, I know our mothers drummed into our brains that sticks and stones can break our bones but names would never hurt us but they were wrong and Mrs Marsh was right – it does get in!…
