Why I Built This

I know what it feels like to walk into a room and feel like you don't belong. I have a disability. And I was bullied for it.

I know the weight of being different in a world that doesn't always make room for you. I know the loneliness. The days you pretend to be sick so you don't have to go to school. The feeling that no one is going to help — and that even if you told someone, things might get worse.

Most of what happened to me went unreported. Because I was afraid. Because I didn't know how. Because I didn't think anyone would believe me.

I built Make A Difference because I didn't want anyone else to feel what I felt. I wanted a place where you could learn that you're not alone. Where you could report safely, without fear. Where you could find people who understand.

This is the app I needed and didn't have. I'm sharing it now — because your story isn't over, and one person who shows up for you can change everything.

How We Help

Three pillars built from personal experience — the tools I needed and didn't have.

"I built what I needed. I'm sharing it so no one faces this alone." — Brynn
L

LEARN

Access age-appropriate resources, videos, and guides on disability awareness, types of bullying, and inclusive language.

"Knowledge is the first step. When people understand, they stop making others feel small." — Brynn

  • What is a disability? Visible and invisible types
  • Understanding different learning and communication styles
  • How to use inclusive, respectful language
  • The difference between teasing and bullying
  • What cyberbullying looks like and how to respond
  • How to be an upstander, not a bystander
R

REPORT

  • Log incidents with date, location, and details
  • Access crisis support resources 24/7
  • Get confirmation your report was received
  • Understand what happens after you report
C

"The loneliest part was thinking no one else understood. You are not alone. I promise." — Brynn

  • Peer support groups by age and interest
  • Moderated forums for students with disabilities
  • Ally network — find students who want to help

Report a Bullying Incident

Your report is safe. You can submit anonymously. Every report is reviewed by a trusted adult.

"I didn't report because I was afraid. This form exists so you don't have to be." — Brynn
🔒 Anonymous & Confidential
✓ Your report has been received. Thank you for speaking up — that took courage.

A trusted adult will review this within 24 hours. You are not alone, and you did the right thing.

"I'm proud of you for reporting. That's the hardest step." — Brynn

Be an Upstander

When you see bullying, you have the power to stop it.

"I needed one person to speak up for me. You could be that person for someone else." — Brynn
1

Speak Up

Calmly but firmly say "Stop. That's not okay." Research shows bullying stops in over half of cases when one person speaks up. Be that person.

2

Support the Target

Check in afterward. Sit with them. Ask if they're okay. Being a friend to someone who feels alone is one of the most powerful things you can do.

3

Don't Join In

Even laughing or watching silently sends the message that bullying is acceptable. Walk away, and don't share or engage with bullying content online.

4

Report It

Tell a trusted adult or use this app's anonymous report tool. You are not a snitch — you are an advocate for someone who needs help.

5

Be Inclusive Every Day

Save a seat. Invite the person who always sits alone. Small, consistent acts of kindness build a culture where bullying can't take root.

Warning Signs

A child may be experiencing bullying if you notice several of these signs.

"I showed many of these. No one asked me if I was okay. Please ask." — Brynn

Unexplained injuries or damaged belongings

Sudden loss of interest in school or activities

Avoiding school, the bus, or social situations

Changes in eating or sleeping patterns

Declining grades or trouble concentrating

Withdrawal from friends and family

Frequent headaches, stomachaches, or fatigue

Mood changes: increased sadness, anxiety, or anger

If you notice several of these signs, gently open a conversation: "How are things really going?" Then listen without judgment. Believing a child is everything.
