Over the past two years, Prabhu, 15, has been developing ReThink, an app to make cyber bullies think twice before sending a hurtful text or tweet.

“ReThink is able to detect when someone tries to post something offensive on social media and then alert that person and go, ‘Whoa. Hold on. Are you really sure you want to post message? It could be offensive,’” Prabhu told ABC News.

Prabhu even tested her app on 300 students, with impressive results!
 
The big flaw though is that people who "bully" are not going to be installing an app like this in the first place.

So it is basically useless.
