Naina gets a message from an account she doesn't know, saying "I'm Simran's cousin from your class." It asks to be friends online. Naina thinks saying that is proof enough they're safe. Her brother Rehan disagrees. Who is right?
Vikram chats with someone he only knows from an online game. The person asks which school Vikram goes to and what time he walks home. Vikram tells them, thinking it's no big deal since "everyone at school already knows this anyway." His friend Ira disagrees. Who is right?
While playing a game, Tanvi sees a popup: "You're the 1000th player today! Click here to claim free diamonds!" She wants to click it right away, thinking games do sometimes give real rewards. Her friend Farhan says this particular kind of popup isn't real. Who is right?
Ishita posts an embarrassing photo, then deletes it two minutes later. She tells her friend Kabir, "Don't worry now, nobody can see it anymore, it's gone." Kabir disagrees. Who is right?
