Talking to Teens about Cyberbullying: Conversation Starters
- What social networks are you on (if any)?
- What questions do you ask yourself before you post or share something? (Do they think about what might happen if the wrong people see it? About how it might make other people feel?)
- What would you do if somebody asked you for a photo that you didn’t want to send, or asked you to share a photo somebody sent you?
- What would you do if somebody posted something that made you mad or scared? (Do they know how to recognize feeling mad or scared when they’re online? Suggest taking a break and talking things over in person.)
- What would you do if you witnessed someone being harassed online? (Remind her that she can always do something: one of the most effective responses is just to contact the victim privately and let them know you care about them.)
- What would you do if you received a sext from someone other than the person who's in it? (Make sure she knows that it's never okay to share a private photo like a sext without permission.)
- Do you feel like you have to look a certain way in photos that you post? Have you ever gotten negative comments about photos? (Remind them that like pictures in magazines, social media photos are carefully posed and often manipulated.)
- What are some of the tricks you use for making pictures look good? What are things you can do with just the camera and what are things you can do with editing software or with tools the social network gives you (filters, etc.)? Do you think your friends do those before posting their photos?
- Do you feel like you know what rules you should follow when you’re online?
- Do you know what to do if things go really wrong? (Make sure they know that you won’t “freak out” if they come to you with a problem.)
