About the organization
The organization, a partnership between the Jed Foundation (a great organization itself, dedicated to suicide prevention), MTV and actress Brittany Snow, exists to counteract and prevent bullying, mistreatment, discrimination and depression. I feel silly to admit it, but I found out about Love is Louder on a celebrity gossip website that posted about Brittany Snow's experience will bullying, that included a link to the organization. My husband teases me for reading 'junk' but in this case I learned about this great movement.
Why does it appeal to me?
I like the breadth of issues that Love is Louder is working on. I experienced bullying, particularly in middle school, and it made life pretty miserable. I can't imagine how hard it is all these years later when everything is online, giving bullies another form of harassment - often anonymously. It makes me so sad when I hear about bullying-related suicides. Some people see being bullied as some right of passage that everyone goes through, but it's harmful. And unnecessary! I also appreciate their strong presence on social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.
