6. Sarahah is a great place for the "online bullying" problem.

Since Sarahah appeared, many people are concerned that this technology application will be a great tool for many people to take advantage of bullying others online because of their anonymity. You can report bad or block someone's messages when using them, but this is only a temporary measure. Negative effects can still happen to "victims". Sarahah therefore reminds many of the "anonymous" applications similar to Secret, Whisper or Yik Yak.

Although she considers herself to bring "constructive contributions" and is an interesting application, Sarahah can go beyond her limits and you should consider using it. Even police in some US cities like Kansas, Michigan and New Zealand police have made recommendations to parents about the application of Sarahah to limit the adverse effects that may happen to their children.
