Kids in the UK can now get help by using an app if they are being bullied.
Kids can send a message to a teacher and explain what is happening to

Is it a good way to stop bullying? Listen to what these children told the
BBC.

Pupils:
It’s a great idea because it can help people in various ways, like with cyber
bullying, physical bullying and indirect bullying.

You might not want to talk to your teachers and parents about it because
you might be a little bit shy. So if you have the app, then you can just write
down what you are feeling and it can give you some great advice.
I think one of the problems is that you might not have any type of tablet or
phone.

Presenter:
Anyone who can open the app can use it anytime – so it’s not just open
during school time.
• Ahmed Mohamed meets Obama
Do you remember the story about Ahmed Mohamed? He is the 14-yearold from America who was arrested because he took a clock he had made
to school. His teacher was worried because she thought it was a bomb and
the police were called.
Well, Ahmed became quite famous after that happened. He was even
invited to visit the US President and the two of them talked about science
and planets.
Ahmed Mohamed:
We were talking about astronomy so I told him how we can help people to
power electricity on Mars.
Presenter:
Ahmed also thinks what happened to him is a good thing. Listen to what
he says.
Ahmed:
I would like to say that I’m glad this happened to me because I get to
spread my word out to the people and tell them that it’s not by the colour
of your skin or by your religion, but it’s by your heart, and you always
judge a person by your heart, not what they look like.
