To recognise the impact social media, and those on it, can have on young people and the things they do.
What you will need
Sometimes it is hard to recognise when you are being influenced by others online. Use these six discussion questions to get everybody thinking.
Instructions
Who is trying to influence you?
What is their motivation? Why do they want to change your mind/behaviour?
How does it make you feel? (You might be motivated by FOMO – fear of missing out, or by joy)
How do the social media platforms shape the advertisements you see?
Have you ever been influenced by social media in a way that led to conflict or violence?
How could you avoid negative influences on social media?
