ABOUT
BULLYING BUDDY
When my son Encore was severely bullied for having a rare condition called “Achondroplasia” a fancy word for dwarfism, my heart sunk. Encore is a very happy and positive child with lots of love and drive but when he began to come home every day with scratches and hungry with no lunch money, I knew something was immensely off. He made excuses saying he “lost his money or he bought lunch for a friend.”

The Bullying Buddy App is amazing! I learned so much about the different dynamics of bullying. My generation underestimates the fatal effects of this widespread problem. We need more education and breakthrough, and this App is the pioneer app
of our generation.
The “Bullying Buddy” App is much needed! This App is a game changer for all; saves lives, hurts, and pushes society in the right direction toward combating bullying!
Loved it! Was quite an experience testing out the app. It’s straightforward, easy to navigate, and efficient when it comes to reporting an incident in real-time and notifying authorities/an authority figure or “Admin” in the app, again – immediately. Love what it’s about and most of all the difference it’s going to make and the lives it’s going to help save. It’s powerful. It’s all about bringing people together, bettering communities, and shedding light to an ongoing problem. Let’s work together and stop bullying once and for all!
I think the app is great!I believe that it will help kids when they need it most which is when no one is around. Say no to bullying!
