A dangerous TikTok trend called the “Chromebook Challenge” is
circulating among students — and it’s something every parent should know
about.

This challenge encourages kids to take apart or intentionally damage
their school-issued Chromebooks, sometimes by trying to short-circuit
internal parts. What may seem like a “fun experiment” online can quickly
turn into something much more serious:

⚠️ Risk of electrical shock or fire

đź’» Permanent damage to expensive school equipment

🚫 Disciplinary actions at school — and even legal consequences

As parents, we know how easily kids can be influenced by what they see
online. That’s why it’s so important to:

âś… Talk to your child about online trends and peer pressure
✅ Check in on what they’re watching and sharing on TikTok and other apps
✅ Remind them that school devices are tools for learning — not toys for
social media stunts

Let’s keep our kids safe, informed, and on the right path. 💬📱
