PETA Thanks Emily Osment For Going Vegan

We told you the news about Emily Osment turning vegan and we were not the only ones who took notice! PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) sent her a gift package of sorts. It included a vegan cookbook, a few t-shirts, and a card with a message for her. Emily, of course had to share with her fans that are following her journey to the life of animal free products and diets.

Here is what the card said, for those of you who are curious.Dear Emily,

We were thrilled to hear that you are embracing vegan foods!! We hope you find the enclosed helpful and always know we are here to help if you need anything.

Warm regards,

Michelle Cho
PETA

Thumbs up for ABC Family movie, Cyberbully

Cyberbully, starring Emily Osment (most known for her role on Hannah Montana) is a must see for teens, pre-teens and their parents. Osment's character, Taylor, is a victim of cyberbullying through a popular social networking site.

Like many teens, she becomes obsessed with the mean things that are posted about her on the site. Her single mother, played by Kelly Rowan, is at a loss of what to do about the situation because, as many parents know, it is a balance between trusting your teen online and protecting them from cyberbullying situations. Cyberbully provides a realistic look at what can happen to teens and pre-teens on social networking sites. As a parent of a pre-teen and author of an anti-bullying book, I really appreciated the true look into teen behavior and the struggle of a parent to help her daughter. The movie also depicts what parents and teens can do to help others struggling with cyberbullying. The help that Taylor receives was a welcome surprise because it dealt with assertive solutions. Often in movies, an aggressive, eye for an eye approach is taken to solve problems. In real life, revenge only serves to perpetuate bullying situations.
