Youth Diversion presents, your ‘frenemy’ – the internet and how to #keepyourprivatesprivate
Youth Diversion developed a series of six videos designed for youth to address the consequences of sharing inappropriate content and unhealthy digital ownership.
These smart, animated, engaging 15-second videos provide youth with a clear understanding of the consequences of sending nudes,(a.k.a. ‘sexting’), including personal and legal ramifications.
Six diverse characters lead the viewer on a journey through the thought process that youth endure while making the ultimate decision to send or not to send. While the videos are intended for youth, there is a lesson for all, young and old, to #keepyouprivatesprivate.
Video topics include:
1. Sexting has long term consequences
2. Post with respect
3. Personal boundaries
4. Think before you send
5. Educate your peers
6. Recognize the signs
