YikYak is sweeping our high school. It's mostly used to make fun of school administrators and bully other students. It seems much more popular with kids than Secret.
Not just high school. I'm at a large university, and I would estimate that probably 1/4 of the school is using it. A new post appears about once every 10 seconds.
However, any bullying type posts get downvoted really quickly. Or posts with personal information. The only kind of insults that stay on there are those directed at other schools, or those among the fraternities/sororities.
Actually, I've noticed that when people anonymously post about depression or suicide, the response is overwhelmingly helpful. Other students post links to the counseling center website or tips that helped them personally.
