37. Instagram Contract for Tweens
1. I will keep in mind that I want a job one day, and that any
picture I post on Instagram is out there forever.
2. Silly pictures are okay. Stupid pictures are not. Stupid
would include naked pictures or my tongue sticking out or
looking like I'm trying to be 23. I'm 11. (And I want to get a job
one day.)
3. I will not post pictures that would embarrass or hurt
another person. Ever.
4. I will not overpost pictures of myself. In addition, I will
not refer to myself as "hot, hottie, or sexy." Even if I do not
fully understand why.
5. Mom and Dad can access my account any time because they
have my password, and I will delete any pictures they tell me
to. (I want to get a job one day). 37

times, and will not accept follower invites from people I do
not know, especially boys or men.
7. I will never, ever give out my address, location, or any
other identifiable information on Instagram. Creepy people
will come get me.
8. No posting from Instagram at sleepovers. If the sleepover
is at our house, all devices stay downstairs after 9pm.
9. I will leave my Ipod Touch downstairs every night at 9pm
to charge. No exceptions.
10. I will have fun, be creative, and connect with my
friends...keeping in mind...that I want to get a job one day.
