What parents need to know

Parents need to know that After School uses kids' Facebook profiles to verify they are a student as a specific high school before granting access to the school's page within the app. From there, kids see images and posts created anonymously by other students or can create their own anonymous posts. The app was removed from the app store for a few hours after complaints from school administrators about bullying incidents, but it was relisted for ages 17 and up with warnings about sexual content, language, drug references, and violence. Student-generated posts include frequent confession-style references (that come across more as bragging) to drugs, sex, and violence.
