Internet Hostility
Taylor, Sydney, Oscar, Nikko, Jack
Watch What You Post #WWYP
What We Learned
Sydney: Throughout camp I've learned things like what advocacy is. Plus I've learned about different programs for things like homelessness or online safety.
Nikko: I learned that helping your community can put smiles on everyone's faces.
Jack: I've learned that there is more than one way to be a good citizen.
Take Action
Personal: You can take action by spreading the word about our cause.
State/National: You can take action by using the #WWYP
Other: You can take action by teaching anyone to know what not to say, and forgive anyone who accidentally said anything bad. Also tell them how to avoid saying anything bad again.
About Us
Our group is called The Civil 6. We chose to focus on internet safety because as teenagers ourselves we see a lot of hostility online. We think it is important to educate those that are unaware of the consequences. We all bonded over our favorite color BLUE.
