Remember: Mute or leave when a group is too much, never forward a private message, and write kindly. Tell a grown-up if it feels like too much.
Lena and the group
Read the story first, then answer.
Lena's group chatLena was added to a group chat. She knew only two people in it, Hana and Marcus. Soon a screenshot of a private message popped up. Marcus had told one friend he was nervous about his choir solo, and someone had put it in the group. Under it, people sent laughing faces. Hana wrote to Lena, "Forward this to our class chat!" Lena's thumb found the arrow, but she thought, "How would it feel if my private message was shown to everyone?" She did not forward it. She carried the phone to Mom and asked, "Am I in trouble for being in the group?" "Not at all," said Mom, "and thank you for stopping." Lena wrote only to Marcus, not to the group: "That was not okay, and your solo is going to be great." Hana wrote to him too and said sorry. Then Lena wrote, "Thanks for adding me, I will leave now," and tapped leave. Later she made a small chat of her own with Hana and Marcus.

8False You do not have to read every message. Leaving a group is okay, and a thank you is a nice touch.
9kindly You do not have to join in. One kind message, just to them, helps.
