9 Never agree to meet an online “friend” without your parents’ knowledge. 1.The biggest danger to your Internet safety is getting together with someone you “meet” online. 2.You can never be positive that people you meet online are who they say they are. 3.Discuss all your meeting plans with your parents.

10 (2) Anyone might see what you post.

11 Really embarrassing

12 Never post anything on the Web that you wouldn’t want the whole world to see or know.

13 Anyone Can See and Read What You Post: Friends Teachers Mom, Dad, Grandma Coaches Your future boss Your chosen college Neighbors

14 Think before you post. ANY information posted on the Web can last FOREVER, even if you have deleted it yourself. Photos, videos, blogs, etc.

15 (3) Strangers can find you based on what you share online.

16 Never Share Personal Information Online: Photo Name Address Name of your school Names of any sport teams Phone numbers Names of malls near you Any private information

17 Keep their information private too. Keep your private information private. Protect your friends and family.

21 (4) It isn’t your fault if you get a message that makes you feel uncomfortable.

22 If you get a message that is hostile or inappropriate, don’t respond. Instead, show the message to your parents or trusted adult to see if there is anything that can be done to put a stop to it.

23 If you access an inappropriate Web site 1. Tell a grown-up... meanwhile 2. Use the back button or reduce the window

24 (5) Your parents & guardians care & want you to be safe.

25 Talk with Your Parents About Ground Rules for Going Online Communicating with your parents doesn’t mean you have to give up your privacy. Reasonable limits can help keep you safe. This includes: –when you can go online –how long you can stay online –what you can do online.

26 (6) Rules from “real life” apply.

27 Never use the Internet to harass or bully others. It’s easy to be mean when you’re not face to face. It seems safe and anonymous, but you can still be caught. It could be criminal.
