How can girls become brave stronger when faced with challenges? (bullying, friends, school, anxiety)
Talking to adults about the situation and stand up for what we believe on. Not to be afraid to speak up and defend ourselves, because we are stronger than what we think! We are valuable people!!!

I am brave because I stand up for people and my friends. I use to face my fears at school. They use to bully me, but now I go to a new school. If you are getting bullied I am here for you. Don’t let them bring you down and always speak up. Never keep it inside. I am strong because I can go through things that are hard. I am confident in myself and I believe in myself and others.

They are like family. They teach me how to be brave and strong. Proyecto Mariposas is fun. They teach me how to be positive, not to be alone and speak up
