Just For Fun is a short animation addressing the issue of peer pressure and non-consensual sharing of images. It forms part of a new resource created to assist schools in coping with and preventing the sharing of explicit self-generated images of minors. Lockers comprises 6 lesson plans, two animations and information for school leaders.
Lessons focus specifically on the laws around sexting, on the peer pressure and stereotyping that can contribute to non-consensual sharing and on how students can get help when incidents of non-consensual sharing occur. One of the lessons also explores the practice of victim-blaming, through the For Your Eyes Only animation.
Non-consensual sharing and subsequent victim blaming can be as a result of a number of harmful gender stereotypes, media influences and peer pressure. This lesson gives students an opportunity to analyse the influence of peers in incidents of non-consensual sharing through the Just For Fun animation. Students can debate how peer pressure can contribute to the prevalence of non-consensual sharing of intimate content and a culture of victim blaming.
