I am just worried that why kids at that age would setup a lunch? That could be an issue but it remains to be confirmed. You need some kind of incentives to have those ambassadors actually take the time to coordinate things. Let me know how it goes though. It is an interesting problem.

@cemedericarak adults don't give kids enough credit.

Great idea. How does it help kids who are too young to have a phone or simply do not have a phone but get bullied? I think if this idea works they will have to find other means as well to address the bullying problem.

This is a great Idea which I have been thinking for a while for personal reason; only barrier is to getting adoption in school. It would be more powerful if linked with a movement which is itself linked with school anti-bullying policy or teaching kids about kindness etc. I wanted to have an App like this for children with special need like my son who is in Autism spectrum and find it hard to blend in a group at lunch. There is something called circle of friends although not with same purpose could overlap with this App. Happy to share more ideas.

Great to see kids identifying real problems and deciding to take a stab at doing something about them. Future world changers.

Good intentions but not a problem that can be solved through technology imo.

@bryantpeng I look forward to seeing your much better solution here on Product Hunt. How about offering some ideas rather than shooting it down with a one liner? That's lame.

@tara Apologies if I came off as blunt, Tara! I think it's an awesome initiative, especially from someone so young. But here's the thing: I don't think you'll ever find a "solution" from me, or anyone, on a tech website like Product Hunt. IMO bullying isn't something that can be solved with an app…it needs to come from efforts by school administration. Not to take away from Natalie's work — it's an impressive first step, but to create lasting change, I think the real-life components (compared to digital ones) are going to need to be in place.
