Abstract

Any type of bullying can make the victims traumatized and not all victims can overcome it without the need for professional help, particularly the teenagers who are in the vulnerable age for bullying. Hence, a mobile application named “Protect ur smile” has been created for victims who can consult with their choice of psychologists. Moreover, they can share their stories among other youngsters who are victimized to gain mental support. The proposed mobile application is designed using the use case diagram, class diagram, and user interface as a prototype showing design. Furthermore, the application has several phases such as registering, login, creating a bully report, consultation, forum, and the information column. Using this mobile application to gain control over bullying, will increase a victim’s confidentiality and decrease the number of suicides.
