Kindness: The ultimate rebellion against bullying

14,944 views | Lucy Thomas • TEDxUNSW

After cofounding PROJECT ROCKIT, Australia’s youth driven movement against bullying, hate and prejudice, Lucy Thomas' model of kindness was shattered when she encountered her own experience of brutal homophobic bullying by somebody she loved. Lucy shares her story of how she rebuilt her life by remodelling her view of kindness as a tough and turbulent but powerful discipline for all of us to blunder at and stumble through everyday.
