The site will let young people share videos and photos and download music, as well as blog about their thoughts around bullying issues.
Sarah Dyer, director of new media at Beatbullying, said: "It is absolutely crucial to engage with young people using the sorts of web technology they like. Our new site enables young users to communicate, interact and support each other online."
The new site follows a new adult and professionals' website, which was launched earlier in 2008, and was developed after consultation with hundreds of young people.
Dyer said: "We know how hard it can be to get young people interested and involved in anti-bullying messages and activities, but by making our website appealing and interactive, we can give young people an opportunity to explore, discuss and tackle this important issue by themselves."
