-
Be careful who you trust online and remember
that online friends are really strangers.
-
Meeting someone you have only been in touch with
online can be dangerous.
-
Stay in charge in chat. Keep your personal
information secret when chatting online, even if people ask for
it.
-
Check your profile and make sure it doesn't
include any personal information.
-
Get away from an unpleasant situation in a chat
room by changing your screen name.
-
Think before you answer private messages. It can
be harder to end a conversation in a private chat.
-
Use a nickname, not your real name, and a
nickname that is not going to attract the wrong type of
attention.
-
Look out for your friends and do something if
you think that they are at risk.
-
Tell a parent or guardian if someone or
something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried.
