Safe2Say Something PA 4+

Safe2Say PA is an amazing concept, but it was poorly executed. First off, the app looks ancient. The dimensions are too small and it’s very dull. I think a bright, new design would attract more users to the app. Another thing I’m not a big fan of is anonymous reporting. With this system, there is a LOT of potential for prank or fake reports which can be dangerous or not very ‘safe’. (see what I did there?) There should be someway to verify the user and make sure the request is legit. An example could be a student email which can be reached by the school, need be, or a student ID card that has to be uploaded along with the request. (This can allow people monitoring these requests to prove if they are legit.) I think some other finishing touches such as a more easy to navigate home page, or even a number to text instead of call could be a good idea. Finally, I just wanted to add that I do think this is a great idea and a way to keep schools safe, I just think it needs a few changes. 🙂

I can see this app being very helpful to someone going through a rough time. Especially for teenagers and younger adults when they feel like they have no where to turn. I did have a few problems with the app. It wasn’t very clear on how to access the different features. Also I don’t feel it’s very safe to include users locations. I feel like it invades the users privacy and makes it less anonymous. The last problem was I couldn’t tell what was going to happen after I send a tip or comment. I personally wouldn’t want the police or someone showing up at my house unexpectedly.

It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Why, think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
How can I try to explain? 'Cause when I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
It's not time to make a change
Just sit down, take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know not me
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go

Thanks for giving me days off
