OSSEO, MN-- Seventeen-year-old Kevin Curwick, an Osseo High School football team captain, is using Twitter to fight cyber bullies and compliment his classmates, but much to his surprise, now people across the world are returning the favor.
"A nice word can go a long ways," he said. "We are a society looking for the positive."
Curwick has heard from people from Iowa to Connecticut, and from Australia to England ever since he came forward behind the anonymous Twitter account, @OsseoNiceThings.

"A nice word can go a long way," 17-year old Kevin Curwick says after he creates am annonymous Twitter account that contains compliments to all the other kids in his high school.
It is encouraging to see that a student is the one stepping up to prevent bullying from happening at his school. It only takes one person to initiate something for everyone to join in on. It is more beneficial coming from a classmate because others can relate to him more. The Twitter is easy for the Osseo High School students to access because the account targets them directly.
