AI nudification tools are reshaping teen peer aggression, and not always in the ways parents expect. A recent case saw a teen girl weaponize deepfake nudes against other girls at her school, turning old “queen bee” dynamics into high-impact digital harm. Parents need to understand how fast this threat is evolving and what it means for their kids’ safety.

Teens use social media to strengthen, not replace, real friendships—though mindful use is key, and digital exclusion can still cause real emotional harm.

Don’t confuse fear with danger—help kids build digital resilience through guidance, not bans, so they learn to navigate online risks safely and confidently.
