What people love

One morning on the way to school, I noticed that my 7th grader was rummaging through my purse before she hopped out of the car. When I asked her what she was looking for--she was looking for her Social Media Manifesto. She wanted to tape it to her locker to remind her when she felt alone that there was a reason why she was waiting for social media.

As I dropped my girl off today at middle school, I asked how it was going in the locker bay. She said, "A ton of friends were doing Tiktok and it's really boring." I asked her "Do you want Tiktok?" She said, "Not at all."

I 100% do not think she would be skeptical of Tiktok if it wasn't for Road to Social resources and mentors.
