Inappropriate Use Digital Media

I work at the HS and I see it all the time.  Kids taking pix of others smoking or drinking or doing other stupid things and then posting it to social media.  I try to have the conversation with the students to NEVER trust anyone and that these posts are out there FOREVER and someone will find out.  When they are taking videos vaping in the locker room and adding it to their "story"...someone will turn them in. Inappropriate pix will end up getting shared.  Someone that is 18 will end up with it and that will be considered child pornography and can get you put on the sex offender list.  I talk to students about these things daily and yet, they still do it because it "will never happen to them"....until it does!

I have seen this as well at the middle school level as well.  Students do not understand that taking pictures in bathrooms and locker rooms could get them in serious trouble.  They too think it will never happen to them, or nobody will ever turn them in.
