● It might make them depressed, and feel emotions
● It might feel anxious, stressed or worse about yourself

Does it seem true and accurate to you/your friends?


● It seems pretty sure

At what age does it become your personal responsibility to critically analyze what you read
online?
● When you start high school, or middle school

What happens if you repost something as real that turns out to be false? Is it your
responsibility to only post things that are true and accurate?
