Copies, archives and previews can keep a photo. Ask: would future me be glad?
A photo can outlive a deletion. Deleting your own post removes your copy, but it cannot reach the others.
A friend can save a copy, someone can share it on another page, a website can keep an old page, and a search can keep a small preview.
Deleting still helps, because fewer copies is better. Words last as long as pictures too.
So use the future me test, and picture yourself at fifteen and at twenty-five.

Would future me be glad?. Rafi asked it before every post.
Tell a grown-up. They can help, and you are never in trouble.
It takes away your copy. Fewer copies is better.
With a grown-up, pick one photo your family has shared and ask who could keep a copy, and if future me would be glad.
Search your own names together and ask who could keep a copy of a photo your family has shared. Ask friends kindly to take a post down.
