Since Amy 'Dolly' Everett tragically took her life at 14 in January of last year, parents Kate and Tick Everett have made sure the effects of bulling are part of a nation-wide conversation.

In their latest move towards positive change, the Everett's have today launched an online resource for parents seeking information about online safety and a video drawing attention to the pervasive nature of cyber bullying.

"Dolly left us with a message that was 'speak even if your voice shakes'," Mrs Everett said.

"I hope that this video will touch home for a lot of teens and help them understand that speaking up about bullying can help to stop it.

"And I hope it reveals to parents how cyber bullying can happen anywhere, even at the dining table or watching TV with the family."

One in five young people report being cyber bullied every year, with secondary students more likely to engage in cyber bullying than primary school students.

While 15-year-old film maker Charlotte McLaverty has been lucky enough to breeze through school unscathed by faceless taunts - so far - she wanted to spread the anti-bullying message the best way she knows how.

"Everyone who has had social media has at least witnessed or experienced cyber bullying - we need awareness and we need to get people talking," she said.

She had already created a film about teenagers and their damaging addiction to phones - it came second in this year's Trop Jr. Short Film Festival and landed her next opportunity.

Her new short film asks, 'are your words doing damage?'.

"I heard about [Dolly's death] last year. We all watched a video about her and cyber bullying. It was very impactful for the whole class and it stuck in my mind," she said.

"I hope this video influences people my age to have a conversation about how we speak to each other and think before we write a toxic message online.

"I also hope it gives parents an insight into the isolation that young people can face when they are cyber bullied, so we can all ultimately speak up about this issue."

Kate and Tick Everett were named Australia's Local Hero of the Year in January, for their continued efforts to prevent other tragedies from happening.

With a particular focus on regional and rural Australia, they have raised awareness and thousands of dollars.

Informed by insights from parents and curated by online safety experts, The Parent Hub, is a one-stop-shop for parents looking to grow their digital literacy and keep their kids safe online.

"The video reinforced to us how cyber bullying can happen in the home without parents even being aware," Ms Everett said.

"There's no shortage of reliable resources to assist parents with online safety, but the sheer volume can be overwhelming.

"The Parent Hub simplifies that as a single source of trustworthy and regularly updated information, so parents won't have to scour the internet for resources to help their children.

"With these new resources, we hope to reset the discussion around cyber bullying. We're asking teens to start a conversation among themselves and we're providing parents with the right tools so they can be part of the solution."

On September 25, Dolly's Dream will be discussing the video on its Facebook page.
