#IWILLHELP Discussion
Did your partner make it easy for you or was it hard to follow their lead?
Has anyone ever imitated something you were doing? If so what?
Have you seen any fake sites or impersonation sites on social media? How do you or would you handle them?
Who do you look up to as a role model? Who do you think looks up to you?
Who in your family follows you on social media? In life?
Who is the oldest person who follows you or who would you let follow you?
Who is the youngest person who follows you or you would let follow you?
Is there someone you don’t let follow you or would let follow you? Why?
Do you feel like you are a good role model online? Offline?
Discussion Notes
Go over how to report fake/hate accounts.
Plug in your phone to projector to show how to report on all social platforms.
There are real people who look at the reports and it only takes one person to report something but if multiple people report a page or post it will get taken down faster.
Tag @ICANHELP or DM a screenshot to @ICANHELP for help as well.
Writing Extension
Create a poster with bad posts and then turn them into a positive.
