The Unslut Project

From Afternoons, 3:08 pm on 19 September 2016

When Emily Lindin was in Intermediate school, she kept a diary detailing the bullying she endured when her classmates labelled her a slut.  It was so bad, she contemplated suicide. Lindin is sharing her raw, emotional diaries, from age 11-14,  online in a blog and in a documentary.

She hopes the view from a teenager girl can start a conversation about bullying and slut shaming.

It's called The Unslut Project.
