You might not want to talk to your teachers and parents about it because you might be a little bit shy. So if you have the app, then you can just write down what you are feeling and it can give you some great advice. I think one of the problems is that you might not have any type of tablet or phone.

• Ahmed Mohamed meets Obama Do you remember the story about Ahmed Mohamed? He is the 14-yearold from America who was arrested because he took a clock he had made to school. His teacher was worried because she thought it was a bomb and the police were called. Well, Ahmed became quite famous after that happened. He was even invited to visit the US President and the two of them talked about science and planets. Ahmed Mohamed: We were talking about astronomy so I told him how we can help people to power electricity on Mars. Presenter: Ahmed also thinks what happened to him is a good thing. Listen to what he says. Ahmed: I would like to say that I’m glad this happened to me because I get to spread my word out to the people and tell them that it’s not by the colour of your skin or by your religion, but it’s by your heart, and you always judge a person by your heart, not what they look like.
