TikTok and other Social Media Challenges
TikTok and other social media challenges are continuing to become more prevalent, especially among young people and teenagers. Many of these trends are harmless, however some can be more serious and possibly life-threatening.
As parents, we ask for your support and help talking with your student(s) about the pressures and dangers of these challenges to themselves and others. Hopkins Public Schools does not tolerate this type of behavior and students may be subject to disciplinary action.
Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation.
