ReThink: Effectively Stops Cyberbullying.


ReThink is a non-intrusive, innovative, patented software product 
that effectively stops cyberbullying before the damage is done.

The world is currently in the midst of a technology revolution. There are 1.8 billion teens around the globe, and technology is increasingly at the hands of every adolescent. With more adolescents being online, more are getting cyberbullied. Cyberbullied victims suffer from depression, anxiety, low self esteem, and more likely to drop out of school. Several solutions that are in place today address bullying after the damage is done. ReThink is the first ever solution to proactively prevent cyberbullying before the damage is done. 

ReThink is conquering this silent pandemic one message at a time.


Inspiration


In the fall of 2013, Trisha Prabhu, then 13 year old girl from Naperville, IL, read a news story about the suicide of an 11 year old girl from Florida who had been repeatedly cyber-bullied by her classmates. She was shocked, heartbroken, and outraged. How could a girl younger than herself be pushed to take her own life? She knew, something had to change. 

The result was ReThink! ReThink is a result of Trisha’s ground-breaking research aimed at training adolescents’ brains to make better decisions on social media.

In the News

Passionate to stop cyberbullying in adolescents, Trisha Prabhu created ReThink, an non-intrusive, innovative and patented technology solution that stops cyberbullying at the source, before the damage is done. Research has found that with ReThink, adolescents change their mind 93% of the time and decide not to post an offensive message on social media. ReThink was selected as one of the top 15 Google Science Fair Global Finalists. Trisha has spoken passionately about the cause of conquering cyberbullying using ReThink on several national and international platforms and forums.

Testimonials

  • I work for a non-profit student development organization that partners with over 20 high schools. At my particular school, there have been several fights per week since 2015 that have stemmed from social media. The fights and violence has caused harm to our school and it distracts students from learning. I look forward to bringing ReThink to our school – Social worker, Chicago, USA.
  • I would like the adopt "ReThink" as a slogan for my daughters schools' anti-bullying campaign – Mrs. Torres.
  • I am the parent of a 13 year old girl and have found what the kids are taking in from each other on a daily basis is very disheartening. There have been many instances of negative and out right mean words and acts towards not only my daughter but so many others that I think "there has to be another way!" Our school district just implemented new technologies to the curriculum and feel they should be taking some responsibility on how to keep it safe and to not make it another monitoring job for the parents. This seem like it could be a great starting point and hope to see it available soon at our school! What an inspiring teen! Thank you! – Parent from a Middle school at Waltham, MA, USA.
  • I am 60 years old and was cyberbullied by my adopted 20-year old daughter. Trisha, ReThink would help stop my hurting too! – Excerpt from a Handwritten letter, Arlington Heights, USA.
