Today marks a National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence.

It is a day to stand up and speak out, not only on behalf of ourselves and our own experiences, but the experiences of people who find themselves silenced. Whatever the reason.

Radio host and former Bachelorette Sam Frost today read an open letter to her bullies in an effort to draw attention to a problem that only seems to be getting worse.

“People including myself get bullied on a daily basis,” she said this morning on Rove and Sam, 2Day FM’s breakfast show. “And it’s something that I don’t think people really understand.”

Having shot to fame at a rate of knots in the last few years, Sam Frost has been subjected to constant press and social media scrutiny. She knows all too well the impact that consistent harassment can have on a person.

“I wanted to think of something I could say to the bullies,” she said. “So I wrote I letter.”

Here is Sam’s open letter to the bullies:
