WeStopHate is the Project Twelve Organization for June and July!


WeStopHate is an outstanding non-profit organization created by 17-year-old Emily-Anne Rigal, commonly known as "Schmiddlebopper" on YouTube and Twitter. Emily-Anne used to be bullied, but rather than letting it bring her down, EA made the incredible decision to turn something negative into a positive global movement to help raise teen-esteem.




As stated on westophate.org, Our reason for focusing on teen-esteem is simple: Only when we see a rise in self-esteem, will we see a decline in bullying. This is because people who are happy with themselves won’t put others down. Stopping bullying means putting an end to the lifelong, painful consequences each victim suffers… and that creates a better world for us all.


Through the power of social media, such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr, WeStopHate has already touched the lives of over 100,000 young people, myself included. Teens from around the world quickly joined the WSH movement by contributing empowering YouTube videos, and rockin' the famous WeStopHate wrist bands (thousands have already been sold!)


On YouTube, the WSH channel is the 28th Most Subscribed YouTube NonProfit Channel with 350,000 views.  On Twitter, @WeStopHate has nearly 3,000 followers. Founder Emily-Anne tweets as @Schmiddlebopper and she also has a large amount of followers who love to read her inspirational tweets. If you're not already subscribing to the Schimddlebopper and WeStopHate YouTube channels, or following them on Twitter, then I highly suggest you do so. You do NOT want to miss out on Emily-Anne's incredible daily doses of inspiration.

Be sure to join the WeStopHate movement by purchasing a wristband or t-shirt (I have two wristbands and I LOVE them!) and by connecting through social media.

I am so honored to be part of this INCREDIBLE generation of young people like Emily-Anne and the WeStopHate family. Together, this generation will put an end to bullying, build self-esteem, and ultimately stop hate and spread love and empowerment! Way to go, Emily-Anne! Keep up the AMAZING work. I'm so glad Live High on Life is supporting WeStopHate for June and July!
