Lesson 1 of 3

Faces belong to people

When you snap a photo, you capture more than pixels. You capture how someone looked that day, what they wore, and where they were. That is personal.

Some people love photos. Some feel shy or unsafe online. Asking 'Is it okay if I take your picture?' shows respect before you press the button.

Watch the step-flow. See the ask-take-share path that keeps everyone comfortable.

Sharing is a second ask

Taking a photo for your own memory is different from posting it where hundreds can see. Always ask a separate question before you upload or send in a group chat.

Tagging names can reveal people who wanted privacy. If someone asks you to delete a photo, do it quickly without arguing. Their comfort matters more than your post.

School events sometimes have photo rules. Follow signs and teacher instructions. Some assemblies are no-camera zones for good reasons.

Next you will learn exactly when to tell a grown-up about online problems, even if you worry you will be in trouble.
