“Let's Stop Cyberbullying”
About this Project:
This project is a mobile app designed to help teens that are being bullied online and educate people that do not know about cyberbullying. The students came up with their idea by first brainstorming their values and then deciding on a project theme based on what was important to them. Once they chose the topic of cyberbullying Davianny inspired the group based on her love of Tik Tok.
It first started as a video sharing platform similar to Tik Tok themed around raising awareness for cyberbullying. It aims to have teens sharing their stories, teachers / parents / or counselors to providing insightful mental health tips or support. After planning, they realized that they wanted to make the app bigger than just Tik Tok.
They decided they would add an option for an Instagram like interface with the same focus of cyberbullying and promoting positive self-identity. They also have the option to send messages or directly face time a teen volunteer that has gone through cyberbullying, a volunteer counselor, a volunteer parent with a child who has been bullied. There are volunteer monitors to make sure that there is no bullying going on in "Let's Stop Cyberbullying" community.

I think this would be a wonderful app or could even be a plug in to other apps to prevent cyber bullying. Nice job, team. Keep up the good work!
