I have set this up in an attempt to have the app ‘Sarahah’ removed from the app stores worldwide. This app is a glorified bullying tool used among teenagers in particular to feed into a culture of degradation and harassment. I was sickened to learn about this app because I couldn’t believe such a thing would even exist. Parents have a responsibility to check their kids phones and make sure they aren’t the ones doing the bullying or being bullied and I hope this will draw attention to this issue. I feel like the removal of this app may help a little in the battle to end bullying. People use the app to anonymously send negative remarks to others because they feel emboldened because they remain nameless. Nameless and maybe they think blameless. But it is never ever okay to tell another person to kill themselves. If you wouldn’t say something to a persons face you shouldn’t feel the right to do so online. This app is disgusting and being used to make the victims of these remarks lives a misery so we need to take it down! This petition will be passed on to the people who run the App Store in the hopes this app will be removed

I am currently compiling the stories from the comments section to present directly to the app store executives. Please email the link to this petition to your local school board members today. We need them to understand that this platform is a direct threat to student safety.

The momentum we have built proves that people are finished with the harassment this app facilitates. Post this link on Facebook right now to keep the pressure on the app stores. Text three friends and tell them why this platform must be removed.

I think this app is wrong and it makes people feel low. I think it’s wrong as I used to have it but when I understood what it was and what it had done to some of my year I deleted it instantly!
My daughter came home crying because of the stuff people were sending her on this. It is just toxic and no kid should have to deal with anonymous hate like that. Get rid of it already.
Ridiculous app that encourages bullying. It's only a matter of time before a child takes their own life due to the cowardly bullies who hide behind this app.
A horrible app my 12 year old was told to kill herself and then threatened and called names I removed and informed school but this app needs closed down
This app needs to be removed life is hard enough without bs like this to make it worse
.
Done!!
