Design: Jayden Fuller like you are receiving advice off someone you know and trust. It reassures people who may not have the reassurance in their day to day life. The website also includes an interactive section where you can play through different scenarios or test your mind. The interactive games include games where you can work through sticky real life situations and find out whether things about puberty you have heard are myths or facts. So this website really does cater for everyone, whether you prefer something more interactive or reading articles there is something for you to receive the advice you may need. Tag ‘19 asked some students what they also thought of Rise Above. One we asked says that this website is very well made and the colours of the webpage really attract our age group and young teenagers. He said the articles that are on the webpage are really interesting and he feels that they are very related towards him and his age group. Another says the website is very vibrant and it attracts him
ixie Lott talks about first time sex and Marcus Butler talks about bullying, these are among the celebrities contributing to the Rise Above website. This is where you will find comforting and reassuring advice for our generation. Rise Above includes useful inspiring stories from exam stress, body confidence, mental health, friendships and love life. It answers the questions our age group may be too scared to ask, or don’t have anyone to ask. This helps their readers with knowing what to expect and perhaps helping them with who they can turn to if they feel like they don’t have anyone. It encourages people to start talking confidently about the things that matter to them. The website is full of recognisable YouTube, TV and music celebrities who are talking about topics such as sex, relationships, bullying etc. and how they cope with them and get through it. This gives the website a very comforting vibe like a big brother or sister. It almost feels
to want to read and click on certain parts as it pops out to him. One of the younger students we asked says the website has very good coverage on all important topics for young people. He says it is a website that he definitely feels like he could’ve used going through difficult or confusing times. Another student says overall the website is very useful for teenagers who need the reassurance and confidence with all things related to change, love, body image, friendships, puberty etc. She highly recommends you check it out.
