For kids

Big feelings can start with small words.

UYB can help you write what you wish a safe grown-up, sibling, or friend understood.

Kid safety receipt

You can pause before you write.

UYB should help you feel heard, not trapped. Read these four reminders before using a shared journal.

Start smallOne sentence counts.

You do not have to explain everything at once. A small honest sentence is enough.

Get helpUnsafe things need a grown-up.

If something feels scary, unsafe, urgent, or forced, stop UYB and tell a trusted grown-up outside the app.

PrivacyPrivate writing is not public.

Your drafts, solo notes, profile choices, and invite links should not be pasted into public help or feedback.

This kid safety receipt is product guidance only. UYB is not emergency support, crisis monitoring, therapy, medical care, legal advice, diagnosis, or a secret place for danger.

What UYB does

It gives both people the same gentle question.

You write your side. They write their side. The reveal opens only after both sides are saved.

What UYB does not do

It is not a secret place for danger.

If someone may get hurt, if someone is scaring you, or if you feel unsafe, tell a trusted grown-up now.

Three things to remember.

UYB should feel calm, private, and clear. It should never make you hide something unsafe.

Your answer stays closed while the other person writes their side too.

Ask for help

If something feels scary, unsafe, or too big, tell a trusted grown-up outside the app.

Consent and care

Start with consent everyone can understand.

UYB should be used with clear permission, safe timing, and a trusted grown-up when a kid is involved.

Clear

Say what UYB is first.

It is a private shared journal with one guided question at a time. It is not a secret chat, hidden tracker, or punishment tool.

Choice

No one should feel trapped.

A kid, teen, or adult can pause, write one sentence, ask for help, or stop if the moment feels unsafe.

Grown-up

Use a safe adult for kid moments.

Kids should use UYB with a trusted grown-up who understands the privacy and safety rules.

Launch

Broad child-facing use needs review.

Before wide launch for children, UYB needs legal, privacy, and guardian-consent review outside the product.

do not use UYB for secret monitoringdo not force a child to confessdo not hide danger inside a private journaldo not treat UYB as therapy, crisis care, legal advice, or emergency help

UYB does not collect a birthday, create a public age label, or give hidden parent access. Consent and safety still need real-world adult care.

You can use UYB to

  • say a feeling in your own words
  • answer one gentle question
  • play a warm-up word game first
  • ask a trusted grown-up to help you understand the app

Do not use UYB to

  • hide danger from someone who can help
  • send emergency messages
  • be mean or try to win
  • replace a parent, counselor, doctor, 988, or emergency service

Choose a safe start.

Start light, look at questions, or read the safety page with a grown-up.

Warm up

Play Word Rooms.

A private word game can help you start lighter before a real conversation.
