In bullying situations, there are different roles:
🔹The Ringleader
🔹The Target
🔹Assistant
🔹Reinforcer
🔹Defender
🔹Bystander
These roles can shift - but some may feel more stuck in their role than others.
Who do you think would feel most stuck? #TalkItOutTuesdays

Young people are sharing nudes online for all kinds of reasons – with people they know, and people they don’t.
To help protect them, our #ThinkBeforeYouShare campaign aims to help young people understand the harm of sharing explicit images and videos of themselves, and others, and encourage parents and educators to start timely conversations with children and young people.
To learn more about our campaign and access additional resources, visit thinkbeforeyoushare.org.
