The document proposes an app to address the problem of bullying in schools. The app would allow students to anonymously take quizzes to determine if they are being bullied or are a bully. It would also feature options to speak with counselors, read other students' stories, and report bullying. The goals are to raise awareness, provide an outlet for bullied students, help bullies recognize their behavior, and ultimately save lives. The app would include information on the different types of bullies and outcomes of bullying like suicide. It would have a main menu with buttons linking to the different features, creating an interactive space to get help with bullying issues.

5. Some info on bullying….
A student, A school and A case is an example of how far bullying
can go.
It is not just students or children who are bullies teachers bully too.
Not only do people bully people who are completely aware of what
is going on, many kids with special needs are bullied every day
because people do not think they will tell any one what is
occurring. Bullying is often overlooked as typical
teenage behavior, or growing up. Kids
are just classified as mean but parents
fail to realize if their child is mean it can
easily turn into their child becoming a
bully.

6. Since the internet has become a big part of social interactions with people,
cyber bullying seems to be the biggest form recently; many bullies do not
see it as bullying because it is not in person.
