Dolly Everett was just fourteen when relentless bullying and cyberbullying led her to take her own life.
Dolly’s story is heartbreaking and, tragically, reflects the experience of far too many young people across Australia. Your donation today can help provide vital support services, resources, and education to protect young people from the devastating effects of bullying..
Sophie just wants the pain of bullying to end.
This is why we are asking for your help.
Demand is higher than ever
A recent report** showed that Australian school students are among the most bullied in the world - a heartbreaking reality no parent wants to face.
At Dolly's Dream, we see the real impact of this every day. Young people like Sophie are being pushed into spirals of anxiety, depression, and, in the most devastating cases, suicide.
For some, the pain of bullying becomes unbearable. Too many families are enduring the unimaginable heartbreak of losing a child to this growing crisis.
