Good health and well-being: According to the UNESCO Institute of Statistics, one third of the globe’s youth is bullied. Bullying affects all youth, including those who are bullied, those who bully others, and those who witness bullying. The effects of bullying may continue into adulthood. Among students ages 12-18 who reported being bullied at school during the school year in the United States, 15% were bullied online or by text. Cyberbullying can affect children mentally, emotionally, and physically. Kindly aims to bring an end to cyberbullying by providing instant feedback to children and giving them the chance to reconsider how they interact with others in order to avoid situations of cyberbullying. By providing instant feedback to children on whether a message is considered cyberbullying or not, Kindly tries to educate them so that they can make more informed decisions and avoid situations that can lead to cyberbullying. <BR><BR> SDG 3 (3.4: By 2030, reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being).<BR><BR> SDG 4 (4.7: By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development).<BR><BR> SDG 16 (16.2: End abuse, exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence against and torture of children.
