Think Before You Type Our MISSION: SISTERHOOD Journey Take
Action Project was centered around an issue we feel strongly
about: bullying. Specifically we wanted to focus on cyber
bulling, by teaching younger girls the dos and don’ts of texting
and using social media. Our goals were to educate middle school
girls on the proper things to type, to teach them how to avoid
sending or posting information they will regret, and to protect
them from gossip and rumors. We planned to accomplish all of
these goals by teaching them how to think before they put things
in writing. We wanted to help them be respectful of themselves
and other women. We held our event at the local youth center in
Springdale, Arkansas. We decided that the event would last for
five hours, involving middle school girls with their cell
phones. We made special permission slips for the girls to have
signed. The slips asked if the girls had cell phones, if they
had unlimited texting ability, and if they could participate in
a texting scavenger hunt. O
