Sample Social Media Posts
Use our sample posts for a social media inspiration boost.
- #WhatIWish I knew when I was younger is that when I get to a point of meeting an individual in person whom I met online, I do not have to meet them alone. I am able to meet an individual in a public place with plenty of other people around and I can feel safe and have fun too.
- #WhatIWish I knew as a parent around abuse online is that dangers online exist and that starting an open, safe, and honest conversation with my children at home is where safety around online interactions contributes to mitigating the dangers.
- #WhatIWish policymakers knew about dangers online is that the threat to children's safety is evident and the accessibility of online interactions makes children targets to predators.
