Online Safety (age 12)

Now that rainbow was in high school she had a phone, and she'd expressed to her parents that she would like to have social media, to chat with her friends and keep up, with the celebrities who she admired.


Bow hothoof: I'm not sure dashie, the internet can be very dangerous.


Rainbow: dad everything can be dangerous, you've just got to be careful. And besides I only want a Facebook account for now.


Bow hothoof: *sighs* ok I'll go and talk to your mother and see what she thinks.


Bow goes and has a talk with windy and explains that he is worried about rainbow having social media.


Windy whistles: honey I know you're scared but she's nearly a teenager, their all having social media now.


Bow hothoof: I know I'm just scared. I don't want anything to happen to her.


Windy whistles: and it won't she's a good kid. Why don't we think of some rules, just to put both our minds at ease?


Bow hothoof: *sighs* yeah ok.


Rainbow was sat in her bedroom waiting for her parents to make a decision, when the phone buzzed and she saw a message from pinkie.


Pinkie: *on text* can you do it dashie?


Rainbow: *on text* I don't know pinkie, I'm waiting for their answer.


Pinkie: *on text* okie dokie lokie.


Pinkie was asking rainbow about the social media because she'd creator group chat on Facebook, and rainbow was the only one not part of it. Probably because the other 6 girls turned 12 before rainbow did. Rainbow was playing a game on her phone when she saw her parents come into her bedroom.


Windy whistles: rainbow me and your dad have decided that you can have a Facebook account, but you must follow these rules...


Bow hothoof: you're only allowed to have people you know on your friends list.


Windy whistles: if anyone you don't know sends you request, decline it and block them.


Bow hothoof: no sending inappropriate messages or pictures.


Windy whistles: no giving out personal information.


Bow hothoof: friends must be under 16, unless they are family members or friends.


Windy whistles: no posting inappropriate status' Or being rude to others. If I find out you've used to it to be mean to anyone, I will delete your account.


Bow hothoof: I think that's about everything don't you?


Windy whistles: yes I think so. But do you understand what we mean rainbow dash?


Rainbow: yes mum I get it.


Bow hothoof: I hope so dashie, because this is important, there are some real nasty people out there , and your mother and I don't want to loose you.


Rainbow: I know and I understand, can I make the account now please?


Windy whistles: *ruffles rainbows hair* yes you can make the account.


Rainbow proceeded to mark her Facebook account and then joined the group chat that pinkie had made, which was just named "rainbooms"


Rainbow: *on the group chat* I'm here guys they let me join!


Pinkie: yay dashie!


Aj: that's swell sugar cube.


Rarity: marvellous darling.


Fluttershy: yay.

The girls stayed chatting all night on the group text that all 7 of them now had.
