Lessons on resilience and cyber bullying for Gen Z

Peachy Liv, a self-described educational content creator and change maker is a wise, highly driven, and accomplished Gen Z visionary. Among her many accomplishments, she’s developed a strong online presence and following, and in this TED talk, she describes her experiences online, the good and the bad.

Her videos, which had 55 million views in 2021, are created to empower young people and challenge them to “fight for our right to have an education that encourages us to learn out of internal curiosity instead of external pressure.”

Her content, both educational and motivating, has brought Peachy thanks and praise from her viewers. Unfortunately, having an online presence exposed her to comments and bullying she described as extreme and disturbing.

In this video, you’ll learn how she developed resilience and greater self-awareness and acceptance, and how young people can combat the impacts of cyber-bullying so they can develop a satisfying and meaningful social media presence. In Peachy’s words, “These technologies are our future, and we need to make sure that future is healthy and safe for us.”
