My Safe Space

A forum app where teenagers share problems and seek solutions from advisers.

We are solving support, advice, and cultural difference problems. Many teens have problems whether that be with their parents, school, or neighborhood, and they lack someone to talk to.

Our app gives a safe space for anybody (our target demographic being teenagers) to post their problems. They can receive advice from professional psychologists, law enforcement, or lawyers if needed as well as other regular common people, whom have faced similar problems. In this way, the app enacts a forum-like platform.

Part of the app will also be a translator and a cultural reference. The translator will be text to text. This way people from different countries that speak different languages can still answer each other’s questions on the forum. It also allows people who don’t use the forum platform, be able to use the translator.

The cultural reference allows people to select their native cultures and then select a different culture. The reference will then list a number of differences between the two cultures, and explain sudden cultural nuances. It also explains how to be respectful in other cultures, and how to to ask cultural questions without offending.

People who don’t use the forum part of the app, can still use the cultural reference part of the app.
