Viraj Puri of Great Falls, Virginia is collaborating with a
computer scientist to create a heat map to track bullying. The system would
track cyber-bullying from sites like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
13-year-old Puri became involved with the anti-bullying
movement after witnessing his older brother being harassed on a regular basis.
His mother, Aparna Puri, said that this project shows that there are productive
ways to channel frustration at bullies: “Anger is always negative. But to make
something out of it…I think it’s brilliant.”
