Be
careful who you trust online. If you are talking to someone you
don't know, they might be lying about information they give out.
-
Meeting someone you only know through chat rooms can be
dangerous.
-
Stay
in charge in chat.
-
Check your profile and make sure it doesn't contain personal
information.
-
Get
away from an unpleasant situation in a chat room by logging out,
blocking or turning of the monitor.
-
Think before you answer private messages.
-
Never use your real name in a chart room. Use a nickname.
-
Tell
your parent or carer if something happens that you don't like.
-
If
someone sends you a picture you don't like, turn of the monitor
quickly and tell an adult (parent, carer, teacher)
-
Remember, you can block someone if you don't feel comfortable
talking to them. It's OK, they won't get mad, they will just
think you've gone offline.
