A new program makes finding friends in the school cafeteria(自助餐厅) a piece of cake. “Sit With Us” helps students who have difficulty finding a place to sit find a welcoming group in the lunchroom. The app allows students to recognize themselves as “ambassadors,” thereby(从而) inviting others to join them. Ambassadors can then post “open lunch” events, which signal to anyone seeking company that they’re invited to join the ambassadors’ table. Natalie Hampton, a 16-year-old from California, is the designer of Sit With Us, which was posted on September 9. She was inspired to create it after she ate alone her entire seventh grade year. The situation left Hampton feeling vulnerable(易受伤害的) and made her a target for bullying (欺负).
Hampton, now a junior, is attending a different school and is trying socially. Yet, the memory of sitting alone and being bullied still affects her, especially since she knows her experience isn’t an isolated one. Hampton said the reason why she felt an app like this was necessary is that it prevents kids from being publicly rejected and being considered social outcasts（被驱逐的人）by their classmates. “This way it’s in secret. It’s through the phone. No one else has to know,” she explained, “And you know that you’re not going to be rejected once you get to the table.”
When students — especially the “cool kids” — stand up to (抵抗) bullying, it has an important effect. During the 2020 school year, over 50 New Jersey
middle schools provided their most socially able students with social media tools and encouragement to deal with it, and saw a reduction in student conflict reports by 30 percent.
Hampton said that since she opened the app last week, she’s already getting positive responses from her classmates. “People are already posting open lunches at my school,” she told the program. “So I’m happy that things are already kicking off with a great start.” 32.

I expressed my gratitude to be with her 47 , enjoying this moment of our shared 48 and her new start in Los Angeles. After a delicious lunch, I decided to stay a while longer 49 the question had inspired me to meet the co-owner, Ryland. Pauses or 50 in life are a very good time to listen to what’s 51 inside of our hearts.
When Ryland came over to my 52 with his big smile, his title of Chief Inspiration Officer seemed very 53 for his personality. He gave me his 54 attention as he opened his heart to listen. I told him how I wanted to help him open more 55 so there could be more places to eat and help spread this 56 of “being generous and grateful every day.” Since that 57 , Cafe Gratitude is my favorite place to eat.
