www.bblic.com is the first website of its kind to focus on helping young children overcome this increasingly widespread problem of bullying. In merging an interactive games-type environment with exceptional and accessible content [for example much of the content is voiced], young people are reacting to the bbclic with real enthusiasm. The site is open to both victims of bullying as well as bullies and allows those affected to learn from other people's experiences and draw from them. www.bbclic.com provides a safe, supportive environment where young people can begin to understand more about their situation and realise they are not alone.
