A short story about empathy, inspiration and strength

What is it that moves someone to action? For high-school student Clara Louis, it’s the difference between hearing something and understanding it. Although impressed by her teacher Mrs. Walsh’s words about the importance of believing in oneself and making a difference, it isn’t until she sees her own teacher being bullied that their meaning truly sinks in. Determined to support her teacher and spread a message of empowerment, Clara turns to social media to start a campaign that could be the first step in changing everything. #TheyUsedTo is a story of empathy, inspiration, and strength that will appeal to young people ages 12 and up. It is a story about how an individual can make a difference if they just take the first step and DO something.
