Article Discussion Questions:

Why do we as teenagers and young adults typically not use the provided blue emergency stations on campus but rather tell our friends?

Do you think that people will be willing to "buy in" to circle of 6?

What flaws do you see with the program?

Is there a privacy issue with the app sending data (i.e. location or live feed from phone) to other people?
     Would there be any abuse with people using this system to get your location without permission?

What happens when the circle of 6 is unavailable to respond to the issue?
