A teacher has shared the “sickening, heartbreaking, depressing” responses she received from students when asked what their parents don’t know about their social media use.
Skipper Coates, a high school teacher in the US state of Utah, asked 85 of her year nine students to finish the sentence “What my parents don’t know about social media is…” in anonymous notes.
In an effort to educate parents, the mum and teacher, who has been concerned about the “mental health, bullying, and social media use” of her students, shared 13 of the responses on Facebook.
And oh boy, there are some pretty big secrets these kids are keeping from their parents.
"What my parents don't know about social media is that I have a secret rant account. I talk about my mental health. I also have internet friends," wrote one student.

It’s a scary world :( I recently heard of a 12 year old boy being sent nudes from a 15 year old girl.
Same handwriting across notes?
I'd imagine the teacher re-wrote them.
