Helpful Resource: The BullyBøx

The BullyBøx

The BullyBøx is a mobile application, available on iPhone and Android platforms, designed to allow students to safely and anonymously report acts of bullying or other school-safety concerns. The BullyBøx provides a "voice" to those being victimized, as well as empowering up-standers, while simultaneously allowing reporters to refrain from becoming directly involved in the incident. The application is available for free download on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

When adopted by school systems, this application has the potential to be a powerful tool for educators and other school-support personnel. Having The BullyBøx in their hands, students will have a means by which to safely and anonymously report school-safety concerns to their administrators, whether those concerns pertain to bullying, drugs, weapons, or fights on campus. In addition, by utilizing data gathered from the reported incidents, educators will be better positioned to improve upon existing strategies for resolving problems associated with bullying or other school-safety issues in their school buildings.
