📱 New School Year, New Followers? Social Media Safety 101

⚠️ Hidden Dangers of Oversharing

Seemingly innocent posts can reveal more than you think — like your school, schedule, friends, and even your home address. This opens the door to stalking, identity theft, or cyberbullying.

🛡️ Social Media Safety Checklist

• Set all profiles to private
• Never share your full name, school name, or address
• Don’t accept friend requests from strangers
• Think before posting school-related photos or check-ins
• Avoid using real birth dates or phone numbers

👩‍🏫 Teachers & Schools: Time to Educate

• Integrate digital identity protection into digital citizenship lessons
• Encourage positive online behavior and empathy
• Promote reporting tools and support for harassment

📱 Social media is part of school life — but digital safety should be part of the curriculum too. Let’s help students build not just a presence, but a protected one.

💡 Pause before you post. Think privacy first.
