The you a stranger can find

Personal & Social Development · Responsible Decision-Making · ages 15-16
Name ______________________   Date ____________

  1. You deleted an angry post. Why is it likely not gone?

    • Screenshots, caches and copies keep it alive
    • Deleted posts always return by themselves
    • The internet forgets nothing and forgives everything

  2. How should you search your own name?

    • The way an admissions tutor or employer would
    • Only inside your own photo album
    • By asking friends to describe you

  3. Public by choice beats public by accident.

    Circle one:   True   False

  4. Which pair follows the choose-on-purpose rule?

    • Set one thing private and publish one thing proudly, each with a reason
    • Post everything publicly and delete at midnight
    • Keep two secret accounts with no reasons

  5. A stranger reads your first page. What can they conclude?

    • Nothing at all, ever
    • Only what that page implies about you
    • Your entire life story in full

  6. Why repeat the name search every few months?

    • Search engines pay per search
    • New posts, tags and photos pile up quietly
    • Old results expire after ten days

  7. Two profiles: one curated with reasons, one accidental and sprawling. An employer picks the first. Why?

    • Employers fear large photo counts
    • The curated page reads as deliberate and trustworthy
    • Accidental pages load more slowly

  8. Tom posts freely since deletion exists. What is his mistake?

    • Deletion buttons are hidden too well
    • Posting freely is always illegal
    • Copies survive deletion, so restraint comes first
