TAMPA, Fla. - The Hillsborough County School District wants parents to talk with their kids about recent social media challenges.
In a letter sent out last night, district officials warn that students can be impressionable and may be influenced into joining negative behaviors and dangerous acts online.
They say students who photograph, record, and post risky behavior online could further fuel bad behavior.
The district will also work to enforce stricter consequences.
This follows a TikTok trend in which students damaged bathrooms on camera and a more recent one calling on students to "slap a teacher."

Meanwhile, a Florida state senator on Wednesday proposed requiring public schools to teach about social media literacy. Sen. Danny Burgess, R-Zephyrhills, filed the bill (SB 480) for consideration during the 2022 legislative session, which will start in January.
If approved, it would be added to part of state law that requires instruction on a variety of other topics, including the elements of civil government, the history of the United States and the history of the Holocaust.
