In the news, we often hear stories about the internet as a place where bullying and pain are transmitted and magnified. Social media allows embarrassing information (true or false) to spread like wild fire, often anonymously. All too many times we hear about the horrifying effects of cyber bullying.
Today, let's look at something on the opposite end of the spectrum.
Writer Lindy West decided to start "I Believe You | It's Not You Fault" as a space for young people, particularly women, to come for support. The Tumblr site is a place to share stories of sexual assault and receive support, advice, and unconditional love from older women who have gone through the same things.
See, the internet isn't so bad, sometimes.
