Names can never hurt me: cyberbullying and image-based abuse
Being told to ignore bullies and "walk away" was never an overly effective anti bullying method and now bullies are inescapable.
One-in-three Australians have reported experiencing some form of online abuse, whether that be someone posting negative comments, image-based abuse or identity theft. This kind of bullying can be anonymous, sustained and repeated.
When 18-year-old law student Noelle Martin realised an innocent selfie had been stolen and photo shopped into porn, she sought help from the police but at that point there was nothing they could do. Noelle decided it was up to her to raise awareness of online abuse.
Rosie Thomas remembers her teachers teaching anti bullying strategies like to report bullying, or to simply walk away. Fresh out of high school, she and her sister Lucy started a business to address bullying and cyber bullying in schools with effective strategies that offered more than walking away.
