Have you got your lunch, but not known where to sit? You don’t want to sit alone. But you are not sure who would be friendly and let you sit with them.
To work out the problem, Natalie Hampton, 16, made an app called Sit With Us. It makes finding friends in the school dining hall very easy. Natalie is from California, US.

Natalie got the idea after she ate alone in Grade 7. The experience made her feel sad and she was even bullied. She changed schools because of that.
People may want to know why you don’t just ask to sit down. Natalie said the app stops kids from being refused in front of others. “It’s through the phone. No one else has to know. And you know that you’re not going to be refused once you get to the table.” she told NPR.
