On my first day of house duty, when I started working as a teacher, I found one of my pupils — 12 at the time — watching a video on her school issued device.
The video was made by another child, from some random place on the Internet: a teenage girl in the video, staring at the camera with a bland, vacant smile that looked like she had been lobotomized.
The captions on the video had her asking these question of her audience:
- How old did they think they would be when they died?
- How did they think they will die?
- How would they choose to die if you could control your own death?
It was pretty clear that this was skirting around the idea of suicide, albeit in a fascination-of-the-macabre way I think, rather than explicitly encouraging it. Very creepy though.
Apple iPad. TikTok video, reposted to YouTube. Viewed on my watch, while I was the adult in charge.
