Safe vs. unsafe content

Content is not only “a bad photo”

Content is everything you send or upload: text, a photo, a video, a voice note, a link, a meme. Some of it is fine. Some of it is dangerous for you. Some of it is dangerous for someone else. Some of it is illegal — an adult deals with that, not you on your own.

Three questions that almost always work:

1. Would I put this on the headteacher’s board? If not, I do not send it on.
2. Is someone in it without their say-so? A photo of a classmate, a sibling, a teacher — without “you may”, it does not belong in a group.
3. Does someone want it “just between us” and it rushes? A trap. I show an adult.

Safe content is an ordinary day: a game, a joke among friends, a photo from a trip after permission, homework for school. Unsafe content pushes on a secret, shame or rush.

What is dangerous for you

• Blackmail — “send a photo, or I will show it.” An adult immediately. You do not talk to a blackmailer on your own.
• A link that promises something weird — free stuff, “verification”, “your account will be deleted”. You do not click. You show it.
• A challenge to “destroy something” or “hurt yourself on video” — trends are not a reason. You say no.
• A strange adult who wants a private chat — you close it, you tell a parent. It is not your fault.

What is dangerous for others

• A photo of a classmate in the changing room, in the toilet, while crying.
• A meme with someone’s name who did not want it.
• A forwarded message “look what X wrote about you” — without asking X.

The school and family rule: someone else’s photo = ask. Even if it is “just for a laugh”. Even if “I will delete it in a minute anyway”. A screenshot remembers longer than deleting.

What to say out loud

A friend wants to send your photo:

“No. Delete it. If you do not want to delete it, I am going to a teacher / a parent.”

Something nasty about a classmate is flying around the group:

You do not forward it. Screenshot. An adult. Not “so everyone can laugh”.

Someone is sending a weird link:

“I do not click. I will show a parent.”

How it fits the projects

🏠 Family rules. Sentence: A photo of someone else only with permission. We do not send nastiness on.

🏫 Campaign for the class. Poster: Before you forward — ask if it would go on the board.

👤 Safer profile. What do you have on the profile? Only things you would show a teacher without shame belong there.

Now you 💪

Go through the last five photos in the gallery. Are there people without permission? Is an address, a name tag, a board with the school name visible?

1. With a parent, open the gallery. For each photo say: headteacher’s board — yes or no?

2. Change one thing: delete, crop, or move it to a private folder. Do not delete anything blind in a rush.

3. Add a sentence about photos and permission to family rules.

What to take from this lesson

• The headteacher’s board = a good test.
• Someone else’s photo needs permission.
• I do not click, I do not forward nastiness, I tell an adult.
• A secret + rush = a trap.
