What I can share on social media

Questions to ask myself before I share...

  • Why do I want to share this?

  • Have I already shared something today?

  • Will people want to see my post?

 

When sharing on social media, I should...

  • Use kind words.

  • Keep my posts and videos short.

  • Only include public behaviors, not private.

  • Only share information that is not embarrassing for me and others. I should not share something if I would be embarrassed if my parents, teachers, or boss saw my post.

  • Check my spelling.

  • Make sure everyone is wearing all their clothes. Clothes should fit properly.

  • Make sure I do not share personal information.

  • Make sure I have permission to share the post from each person in it.
