Don’t give out personal information without your parents’ permission. Don't ever share your last name, home address, school name, or telephone number/email address. Even if you think you know the person, don't send them any private information.

Don’t share your password with anyone. When you use a school computer, make sure you logout of the accounts you’ve accessed before leaving the classroom/library. Don't even share your passwords with your best friends.

Never post or message any sexually explicit pictures or messages. Don't agree to sexually explicit conversation with anyone that asks you to. If a stranger asks this of you, immediately delete them and report them.

Don’t agree to meet an online friend unless you have your parents’ permission. People pretend to be people that they are not and this can put you at risk. Don't ever meet with someone you met online, alone.

Be cautious while opening up attachments and links. Some links contain viruses. Never open an attachment from someone you don’t know.

Don’t send or respond to mean or insulting messages. Tell your parents if you receive one. If something happens online that makes you feel uncomfortable, talk to your parents about how it made you feel. Don't be scared to talk to an adult if you're experiencing something that makes you feel uncomfortable.
