Posting Pictures on Social Media

It can be challenging to decide what is okay to post on your personal page and what is not okay to post. It is important to remember that anyone can see the things you and your teens talk about or the pictures that are uploaded. Keeping a clean social media site can be a great way for your teens to market themselves! Here are a few examples of what to post and what NOT to post. Talking to your teens about guidelines for posting can help a lot!

  • Pictures of underage activities like drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes can be very harmful. Also, pictures that display private information like credit card numbers, phone numbers, or residential addresses are a bad idea.
