                                                                   DIGITAL LIES
                          Ananya and Riya had recently become close friends in Grade 7. Both loved art and dance, so they
                          started a small private Instagram page to share their creative work. At first, classmates posted
                          supportive comments. Later the tone changed.

                          Some accounts began leaving mean comments about Ananya’s looks on her dance video. Riya
                          advised her to ignore them, but things soon escalated. Without warning, Ananya was removed from
                          the class WhatsApp study group. She felt hurt but chose to stay silent.
                          A week  later, a mysterious  account  named  ArtTruths247  posted  a morphed  photo  of Ananya,
                          wrongly claiming she failed all exams. Students shared it and laughed. Soon after, a fake profile
                          appeared using Riya’s name and photo, posting edited versions of her artwork with captions like
                          Copy-paste artist.

                          Both girls were confused. The fake accounts used the same emojis, posted at similar times and
                          followed the same two classmates. These patterns suggested a familiar source.
                          Their friend Sameer noticed everything. He knew Ananya and Riya would never post such comments
                          themselves, but he was afraid of becoming the next target. Still, he quietly took screenshots and
                          wondered what to do. Should he help? Or stay silent?
