When I think about who I want to be in high school, in college — none of that is separate from my phone. My digital footprint follows me. The habits I build now are the habits I carry forward. I'd rather think about that now than deal with the consequences later.

Your Reputation Is
Already Being Built

You're in 8th grade — but the internet doesn't grade on a curve. What you post today is searchable in two years when you apply for a job, in four years when you apply to college, and potentially for the rest of your life.

Tap each timeline point to see what's ahead.

📅 Activity 1 · Your Timeline
+10 XP each
NOW
Right Now · 8th Grade
Habits form here — tap to see why this moment matters
The patterns you build now — what you post, how you respond, how you spend your time online — become your baseline. This is the easiest time in your life to build good ones. The earlier you start, the easier it is.
HS
High School · 2–4 Years Away
Coaches, counselors, and first employers are watching — tap to see more
Athletic coaches, scholarship committees, and employers for summer jobs regularly check social media. Content from middle school often still shows up in searches. A bad post in 7th grade can surface during a high school sports tryout.
UNI
College · 4–6 Years Away
Admissions offices search applicants — tap to see the data
Over 35% of college admissions officers have said social media content negatively influenced their decisions about an applicant. The content they find can go back years. That post from today could still be indexed when you apply.

Your Future
Employers, partners, and the world — tap to see what they find
Employers routinely search candidates. Partners and their families look people up. Your digital history is part of the first impression you make on people you haven't even met yet. Build a history you'd be proud to show them.
✍️ Activity 2 · Your Digital Pledge
+10 XP each

Check the commitments you're willing to make. These are small, real, and they work.

🔍 I will Google my name once every few months to see what comes up
⚙️ I will check my phone's app permissions this week
📵 I will unfollow accounts that consistently make me feel worse about myself
🚩 I will not respond to messages from strangers who move too fast or ask for secrecy
💬 I will tell a trusted adult if something online makes me uncomfortable — even if I'm not sure
🌙 I will try keeping my phone outside my bedroom for one week
🏆 I will use the "would my future self be proud of this?" test before posting

❓ Final Question
+15 XP
A classmate posts a mean comment about someone. You think it's kind of funny. What's your move?
A
Like it — you didn't write it, so you're not responsible
B
Share it — sharing is different from posting
C
Don't engage — likes and shares leave your own footprint and can make it worse
D
Comment to make it clear you don't fully agree
