Meghan Markle Discusses Bullying and Digital Wellness with Teens

The Duchess of Sussex shared her experiences with online bullying during a visit to promote Social Media U, a new initiative aimed at improving digital wellness for young girls.

Meghan Markle visited Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara to support the launch of Social Media U, a digital wellness program co-funded by her Archewell Foundation.
During the visit, Markle shared her personal experiences with online bullying, described by some as being one of the most bullied people in the world, though sources dispute this claim.
The Social Media U program, developed in collaboration with #HalfTheStory, aims to help girls develop healthier relationships with technology.
The initiative is backed by notable partners, including Melinda French Gates’ Pivotal Ventures and the Oprah Winfrey Charitable Foundation.
The program is designed to equip girls with tools for online safety and mental health support, with input from a teen advisory board to ensure relevance to its audience.
