'Brockton Compliments' Twitter Changes the Conversation

Sometimes, if used the right way, social media can be used in a positive way.

That was the thinking of one high school student from Massachusetts. The anonymous twitter account 'Brockton Compliments' is changing the conversation and there's only one rule: positive messages only.

The twitter profile was set up by a junior at Brockton High School, who said she had been bullied in the past. Now, she posts uplifting messages from fellow students, with the hope that kind words can help other students feel good about themselves.

That's something to smile about.
