Wise Advice
There are risks you take when you text. For example, you could fall if you are texting while walking. You send a picture to somebody, they can post it on the internet. Also, don't ever accept a friend request if you don’t know them. If you don’t want something to be on the internet, say it to their face. Anything you say can be used against you. There are cyberbullies. Never prank call people. Never give anyone any personal information. It's a distraction when driving, you might get texts you don't want to see. Drama can start. You can get addicted to social media. There are consequences for using it in school.
Solutions
Never text or call a random person
If there is an unknown number, report it to an adult
Don’t talk to someone on the phone you don’t know in real life
Think before you text or post
Thank you sixth grade for sharing your words, and thinking out the consequences of unwise social media posts and texting.
