While Chelsea Clinton is usually reserved in most cases, the former first daughter refuses to settle when it comes to cyberbullying. She’s recently taken it upon herself to personally answer trolls when they throw insults her direction — but with kindness, not hate. 

“Cyberbullying is a huge challenge across our country,” she told the Associated Press. “I think we need those of us with platforms to not ignore the trolls, not to become consumed by them, but to shine a light and say here’s how you can respond where you’re calmly defending yourself but you’re also showing it’s not OK and you’re not degrading your own humanity in doing that.” 

Her newest children’s book, Start Now! You Can Make A Difference, encourages children to make a positive change in the world by educating themselves and taking action.

“I’ve always believed that you’re never too young or too old to make a difference. And then when I became a mom, I think I felt that even more keenly because all of a sudden I had, you know, first Charlotte and then Aidan, these little people in the world, I wanted the world to be a healthier, more equitable, more just safer place for them than previous generations,” she said.
