Lesson 1 of 3

Copies hide in other phones

When you send a sticker or photo, friends can screenshot it in seconds. Their copy does not vanish when you delete your message.

A funny meme about a classmate might feel harmless to you but embarrassing to them. Copies can land in group chats you never see.

Watch the step-flow. Follow one post as it gets copied beyond your friend list.

Lesson 2 of 3

Think before you share

Ask: would I be okay if Grandma saw this? Would the person in the photo be okay? If the answer is maybe not, do not post.

Private accounts still leak through screenshots. Privacy settings help, but they cannot stop a determined copy.

If you regret sharing, tell a grown-up. They can help you apologise and report serious bullying.

Lesson 3 of 3

Be careful with others' posts too

Forwarding someone else's embarrassing photo spreads harm. You become part of the problem even if you did not take the picture.

If you receive a mean forward, do not pass it on. Tell an adult and support the person targeted.

Next you will build your own screen time plan, pulling together rest, kindness, privacy, and asking for help.
