It all began in North Carolina when a cyberbully chose to victimize the reigning Miss Greater Port City Outstanding Teen with a Twitter post from the anonymous handle “Idk Idk”. \u00a0The post showed two pictures of Isabella Gaines, one with makeup and one without, attempting to\u00a0highlight Gaines flaws without makeup and question her natural beauty.<\/p>\n

To some, an action like this would play at their strongest insecurities. \u00a0Unlike most, Gaines used this situation\u00a0to rise above her cyberbully with a thoughtful Instagram post. \u00a0The post\u00a0took a stand against cyberbullying, starting an anti-cyberbullying campaign with the hashtag #NoMakeUpSelfie and encouraging others to join the campaign.<\/p>\n

Gaines’s thoughtful post can be seen below.<\/p>\n
