Dangers of Social Media
What is social media used for?
All sorts of things. (ex-- gaming, schoolwork, talking to friends, meeting new friends, etc)
You go to meet an online friend you've known for a year. Do you go alone?
No, always take a friend and alert your family exactly where you are going.
Should you make fun of someone, even if everyone else is doing it?
No, of course not. What is right is not always popular, and what is popular is not always right.
At school today, someone called you a bad word, do you say something wrong back to show that you are even?
No, do not because it will get you into more trouble.
I've known someone over social media for over a year. Should I give them my adress?
No! No! Say no to this!
(answer is no- had to sneak a Hamilton reference in there)
Social Media is a place where everyone is their true selves- no filter, no lies. true or false?
Not in todays world
What is an example of cyberbullying?
Someone posts a rude picture, repeats hurtful behavior, or makes fun of you.
(any of these examples will be correct)
Is everyone online an old man?
No. Are you an old man?
You receive a call from a number you do not know. What should you do?
Don't answer. If you are around anyone, ask if they know the number. If they don't text you afterwards, it probably wasn't anyone important.
Someone sent me a friend request on Snapchat, but I don't know them. Should I accept?
No, it would probably be wise not to.
One of my online friends wants to meet up. I decided to go alone, and meet them at their house. I didn't tell anyone where I was going because I wasn't sure what they would do with that information. Was that a good idea?
There was a reason they were never heard from again.
(im just kidding, the answer is no, but not everyone online is a serial killer, although you should take the extra precautions)
Who should you talk to if you are getting cyberbullied?
Talk to a trusted adult who you know can help you.
Susan was just sent a photo of her friend Elenore. Once she gets it, she send it on a group chat. Is this cyberbullying?
Yes, it is, because then Elenore might be made fun of at school because of the way she looked in the photo.
Today at school, a friend tells you they are gonna text you after school. Later, an unknown numbers texts you saying, "Hey I need to borrow some money, can you Venmo me $30?" What do you do?
Find out who they are first, then determine whether to say yes or not. So the answer at this stage, is no.
Your scrolling on TikTok and you click on the comments for a video. One of the comments says, "tell me your credit card info backwards" Should I give them it since its backwards and technically not correctly given to them?
um, no. It's not that hard to flip the number around and buy something worth a million dollars
(it's giving that one bee meme)
Someone wants me to send them a silly photo of me. It has my entire family in the background. Should I send the photo?
I would strongly advise against it.
Who should you talk to if someone you know is getting cyber bullied?
Talk to them, or you should tell an adult you trust.
Jayden is playing Roblox but he gets a little too confident and says some things he should not have said. He then leaves and is never heard from again. Is this cyber bullying?
No, because he was not repeating this hurtful behavior.
You have a friend in your math class who you are really close with. At school they ask if you can facetime later so they can play a game together. What do you do?
You can say yes, of course. If it is a close friend, then you guys can stay up till 2 a.m. playing games.
(I would advise against staying up until 2)
Someone texts you from an unknown number, claiming to be your dad saying he got a new phone number. He asked for the adress, and your credit card information to put in the auto-saved passwords of his new phone. Should you send them?
No, do not send them unless your dad directly tells you he got a new number and needs the information. But also, why would he want YOUR credit card info?
Your friend sends you the link to a website for online shopping, but you need to sign in with your phone number, credit card info, and address. You look at the hotbar and there is no lock.Should you sign in?
No, it's very likely it is not a safe website
Should you stay off all social media?
No, it is a great resource, but you must be careful while using it.
What is cyberbullying?
A- Someone calls you a mean name and then is never heard from again.
B- Someone is repeating hurtful behavior towards you.
C- Someone beats you at a game, repeatedly
D- All of the above
B
If someone says one mean thing and then is never head from again, that is not cyberbullying. If someone beats you in a game... well, get better I guess 🤷🏼♀️
Your scrolling on some website and a pop-up add comes up. It says, "You have been chosen to get a free iPhone 14 Pro! Enter your phone number and address to claim." Should you listen to the add?
No, it is most likely a scam. You could, but you might get kidnapped the next day.
Someone contacts me through a game. "hey, your really good. give me your address so I can come over one day and we can play together." Should I give him my address since he seemed really kind?
No, social media is all about filters, no one is as they seem (except for that one occasional sincere person). you just met him, and you shouldn't give your address out to anyone over social media anyway.
