Fifi lives with her dad, Steve, her step-mum, Amanda, and her cat Kim. She loves fashion. Her favourite online activity is chatting on social media so that she can talk to people with similar fashion interests and share her pictures and videos.
She has been thinking about how to do this safely. What are your thoughts?
Now play Fifi's episode in the app. As you play, think about the opportunities and challenges she comes across.

Fifi’s friends have been using a new app to chat after school and at weekends, Fifi, who is 11, really wants to join in. Should she:
Ask her parents if it is ok for her to download the app and join in?
Download the app without asking?
Ask her friends to help her think of a good user name?
Pick a profile picture?
