Bullying is a prominent problem that greatly impacts the lives of teens everywhere and there have been various initiatives to raise awareness and help stop bullying in schools across the country. In July, ABC Family, Seventeen Magazine and Twibbon launched an anti-cyberbullying campaign on Twitter and Facebook after ABC Family aired the biting drama "Cyberbully." Formspring also took steps to help stop bullying and Barack and Michelle Obama used Facebook to help spread their anti-bullying message. Now Time Warner has teamed up with Facebook to help stop bullying through a new social pledge app called "Stop Bullying: Speak Up."

The app, named after the original initiative that was launched by Cartoon Network, is targeted towards bystanders who witness bullying. It encourages students, teachers and parents to take actions that will stop bullies in their tracks. Users can take the pledge, share stories, recruit others to join the movement and create their own bullying prevention groups on Facebook for their particular school. The app includes a personal message from Anderson Cooper as well as articles about bullying, hazing and how to make a difference.
