10 Things Students Should Never Share on Social Media
1. Personal Information: Address, phone number, full date of birth, or school details can be used for identity theft or stalking.
2. Private Conversations: Sharing screenshots or details of private conversations with friends or classmates is a breach of trust.
3. Illegal Activities: Posting about underage drinking, drug use, or vandalism can have legal consequences.
4. Complaints and Rants: Venting online might feel good temporarily, but negativity can reflect poorly and create drama.
5. Bully Others: Cyberbullying can have serious consequences for both the victim and the perpetrator.
6. Provocative or Revealing Photos/Videos: These can be embarrassing now and could potentially hurt your future prospects.
7. Schoolwork: Sharing test questions, answers, or assignments can lead to disciplinary action.
8. Traveling Alone: Letting people know you're home alone or somewhere unsupervised can attract unwanted attention.
9. Fake News or Unreliable Sources: Spreading misinformation online can be harmful and damage your credibility.
10. Anything You Wouldn't Want a College or Employer to See: Remember, potential schools and employers may check your social media profiles.
