The Problem
I want to help teens cope with bullying whether it be physical or cyber.
Plan of Action
To create a website for teens to get both professional support and teens support with bullying both physical and cyber.The idea is to allow people to blog about their day, allows other to comment (leave positive advice or share their own stories/embarrassing moments, also to allow them the opportunity to get help from professional in order to get help to deal with their situation. Professionals such as suicide hot-line, counselors, therapists, psychiatrists, etc will help screen entries to look for truly trouble teens so we can reach out to them and encourage them to seek help from others, such as the professionals and their parents in addition to being available to teens would seek help on their own. The point of the website is for teens to know they are not alone and that their is hope for the future, things can get better either by force (such as the school stepping in) or with time. Many teens feel isolated due to their attackers in addition to felling like the only one that has to deal with harassment. We also want have presentations and simulations for schools in order to encourage people to help others rather than hurt them.
