PEOPLE are being encouraged to take a stand against bullying this week for Do it For Dolly Day.
In January 2018, Dolly Everett took her own life after suffering through relentless bullying. On 8 May, people will be encouraged to wear blue for the day and share messages speaking out against bullying.
Dolly’s father Tate Everett said “blue was Dolly’s favourite colour and creating a sea of blue reminds people that kindness will not only prevent bullying, but can truly help to save the world.”
Her mother Kate said “we can’t ask people to come together like last year but fostering a sense of community and togetherness is more important than ever. Kindness is at the core of everything we do. We believe that, through kindness, we can combat bullying.”
People are encouraged to share messages of support using the hashtag #DoItForDollyDay
