Scenario 2: Think Before You Share
You’re part of a group chat with friends from school. One day, one of your friends
starts sharing personal things about another classmate—stuff they wouldn’t want everyone to know.
People in the chat are laughing and adding comments, and they even ask you to join in.
You feel uncomfortable because it seems unfair, but you’re not sure what to do.
A: You decide to join in on the conversation, thinking, “It’s just a joke, and I don’t want to be left out.” You add a comment or two and laugh along with the others, even though it feels a little strange.
I Choose A
B: You feel uncomfortable but aren’t sure what to say, so you decide to stay quiet and not add anything to the conversation. You wonder if that’s enough to avoid being part of it, but you still feel uneasy about seeing what’s being shared.
I Choose B
C: You decide this doesn’t feel right, so you say, “I don’t think we should talk about them like this,” and you leave the chat. You feel better knowing you didn’t join in on something that could hurt someone else.
I Choose C
