One day, I wanted to open a social media account but my dad and my mother didn’t accept it. Next day, my friends and I were talking about this topic. Ecem is my bestie and she said: “My parent don’t let me open an account, either. We were angry at our parents. Nowadays, everyone has got social media accounts.
I said:” Why don’t we create a social media app? Normally, the app will be for us but children and teenagers who are like us can use it, too. The app won’t contain any bad things. No curses, no +18, no violence. It will be used for chatting and for posting videos or photos. Nobody can do bad comments in our app. I said my idea to Ecem. She felt very excited when she heard it. She said okay but asked “How can we do it?” We don’t know anything about making an app. We went to Meryem Teacher, she is the ICT teacher in our school. Three month later we got the app. Now it was time to find a name for our app. Because we wanted to upload the app on playstore or appstore. Ecem said: As it is for children it should contain the word child. And we said it at the same time.”CHILDIT”. We made the app in private mode. When it finished, we started to use it. Within four weeks we had one million users! Our parents were happy because we did a good job. Two months later, while we were watching TV, we couldn’t believe it. We were in the news. Everybody was talking about our app.
