Sharing the things we see online and offline on social media and games can be a really enjoyable part of being online. However, not everyone will like the same things and sometimes the things people share online can cause upset for others. It’s important for young people to think about the things are sharing online and consider if other people could be upset, embarassed or worried by them. If this might happen then it’s best not to share the content. Encourage young people to check with a trusted adult before sharing something online so you can decide together if it is appropriate.
