Bailee Madison News: Actress Launches Inspirational Social Media Movement Since The Fan Involvement ‘So Deeply Inspired’ Her [PHOTO, VIDEOS]
Bailee Madison may be an actress, but like every other human, sometimes words can hurt.
Which Other Famous Teen Did Bailee Madison Recently Have A Social Media Lovefest With?
People tend to think that just because someone is the public eye they can handle anything negative that is thrown at them, but that's not always the case and the 15-year-old actress launched her very own Tumblr on Aug. 27 with an incredibly personal first post.
She revealed before posting the blog that it was "something heavy on my heart."

The title of her post is perfect: Label: Something you put on clothes. Not on people.
Madison revealed that she was recently called "prude," which spurred this very first Tumblr post. The teen didn't understand the meaning of the word at first until she looked it up and learned it "isn't a kind word."
"Prude" is used to convey that an individual will not partake in sexual activity of any sort, but Madison posed a very powerful question, "Where does having morals and waiting to take big steps until you're absolutely ready to take them a negative thing?"
"I didn't know that making a personal decision based on what you believe in your heart was such a terrible thing.... that's because IT ISN'T," she added in her inspiring post.
Her post continued to delve into the kind of world we live in where people do just throw labels at each other without knowing everything there is to know about a person. So she began a movement, encouraging others to write down what they've been labeled as and rip those pieces of paper up while recording a video or snapping a photo.
Madison was "overwhelmed" by the initial response and shared her reaction on Instagram to watching the first video someone sent her.
"I'm so proud of you guys," she gushed in the video while overcome by some tears.
So she then told everyone to use the hashtag "#ImMoreThanAWord" and it literally exploded on social media and prompted her to create a project.
On Wednesday she launched the project, which is a video compilation of many of the submissions made by the Good Witch star's fans for this inspiring movement.
"I'm so deeply inspired by you ALL!" she tweeted with the video.
The video is below and is set to Rachel Platten's "Fight Song," which adds to the positive message Madison's movement is pushing for.
The main point according to the teen actress is "Remember, YOU are so much more than a word!!"
