We Stop Hate

Today we are highlighting a youth superhero, the founder of #WeStopHate, Emily-Anne Rigal. She is a perfect example of how teens are standing up, working together and showing they are heroes for tomorrow's generation. We believe if teenagers can follow in her footsteps, bullying can be a thing of the past. Read about Emily-Anne Rigal, aka "Schmiddlebopper" and WeStopHate in the linked article below.

We end this post with one of Emily-Anne's favorite quotes by Jack Kerouac:
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward."

"Some may see them as crazy, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."

If you know of a youth under the age of 20 doing extraordinary things and making an impact in today's world, please email us at melody4change@hotmail.com
