If they did, they'd be labeled a ho and if they did not, the boys would post a pic of someone else's breasts and say it of that girl. It was the perfect catch 22. I wanted to expose the cyberbullying that is happening and give those bullied some ideas for finding ways to speak out against it. I also wanted bullies to know the potential consequences. And I wanted girls to know that there are good guys out there too and not to lose hope.(less)
