    this story talks about several students from metro creating an app where you can report bullying unanimously. there were at least 15 students involved in this project and out of these students the ones in the article were Michele and Christine. I believe that this app will certainly help with the problem but there will still be kids that are too afraid to report it.

    The Anti-Bully app wont be very usefull, if your being bullied and you pull out a iphone or ipod to use the app you would get robbed. hahaha

    i Don't think this Anti-bully app would be useful because if your being bullied and you pull out a iphone or cellphone the bully going to take it. Your better off telling an adult.

    I think that there are newsworthy events taking place here at Metro. I think the BOB (Back Off Bully) app is a good topic for a new story because the topic is somewhat serious and it could relate to schools, people and students all over the world. Presenting this article and app could help others create more innovative ways to help report bullying.

    I think it's good because the bully gets in trouble and it takes the pressure off the person being bullied. So if the bully gets caught he's not gonna know who told on him/her and the person being bullied doesn't have to be worried about getting teased for telling.
