SCHOOL NO. 9

Snapchat & Instagram Risks: LIVE district parent event!

Is your teen begging for (or already using ) Snapchat and Instagram?

If so, tune in as Dr. Atiya Y. Perkins, along with a panel of superintendents and SmartSocial, goes LIVE to explain why teens flock to Snapchat and Instagram—and the risks every parent should understand.

These apps can be fun and creative, but big risks are hiding behind features like disappearing chats or “spam” and “finsta” accounts. What feels private to your teen can actually fuel comparison, anxiety, cyberbullying, and risky behavior.

You’ll learn how to:
Understand why and how teens use these apps to connect
Spot the hidden risks of disappearing messages and secret accounts
Discover how filters, streaks, and Snap scores affect self-esteem
Get practical strategies to guide, protect, and reconnect with your child
