Sophie, 18, was victimised anonymously via text messages and through a fake Facebook account. The daily abuse escalated to death threats and made her feel so threatened she resorted to self-harm. Her tormentor turned out to be someone she had considered a good friend. Now working with Fixers, a national charity which supports 16 to 25-year-olds to campaign on any issue they want as long as they help at least one other person, Sophie has made a film to show at schools and youth clubs. It aims to encourage young people who are bullied online to speak up and seek help. Sophie said: “I am so happy. I want to use my experience to help stop other people going through the nightmare I did. “This award makes me feel like I am making a difference, and that is exactly what I set out to do.”
