Question

ow do you feel about children using social media? Check all that apply.

Children of all ages should be allowed to use social media unsupervised.
Children under the age of 13 should share their profile with a parent or guardian.
Children under the age of 13 should not have access to social media.
Everyone under the age of 18 should take a class on online bullying.
Everyone under the age of 18 should take a class on social media safety.

Answer 1

I’d check the following:

- Children under the age of 13 should share their profile with a parent or guardian.
(Parental oversight helps protect privacy and spot problems early.)

- Everyone under the age of 18 should take a class on online bullying.
(Education reduces harm and teaches bystanders how to intervene safely.)

- Everyone under the age of 18 should take a class on social media safety.
(Covers privacy, scams, digital footprint, and healthy use habits.)

I would not check “Children of all ages should be allowed to use social media unsupervised.”
I also wouldn’t endorse the absolute statement “Children under the age of 13 should not have access to social media” without nuance—most mainstream platforms restrict under-13s for good reasons, but age-appropriate, supervised alternatives and family decisions matter.
