Actress Millie Bobby Brown recently launched a new Twitter account, @Milliestopshate, that’s taking the internet by storm. Brown, known for her portrayal of Eleven, a young girl with psychokinetic abilities and a limited vocabulary, in the Netflix Original hit series Stranger Things, put up this account to combat hate and bullying, and spread positivity in social media.

And it seems Eleven doesn’t have limited vocabulary here! After putting up the account, in just two days Brown has already started giving advice and help to people. Here are some of her tweets:

No. Don't give up. Sit your family down and explain how your feeling. Giving up is not the answer to anything! Put a smile on your face 🙂 https://t.co/wxcHtfGVCR

Look in the mirror. Tell yourself that your beautiful, because you are. The best way to feel happy is to make other people happy 🐥 https://t.co/pC6yslGDzj

Be you. Don't listen to them. You are your own person. Address it to them and say " are you not ok with me believing in my religion?" https://t.co/BKs39riDiN

Aside from giving advice and encouraging others, Brown also shared that she was bullied before.
I got bullied when I was 8 years old and I had to move schools. You don't want to talk to anyone about it but please share stories 🐳

This sparked others to come out and share their stories too. But that’s not all, people are already helping each other out!
With all the garbage present in social media today, this young actress reminds us that a simple act can create ripples of change in people’s lives. Keep it up, Millie!
