BASIC SAFETY TIPS
Today teens are using the Internet to express themselves and to experiment anonymously with different identities. In the middle school years, students begin social networking, creating and uploading comments (blogs, videos, pictures), downloading music and other files, researching subjects for school, chatting on IM, video chatting and more.
Students - Remember these safety tips when using the internet:
* Never share names, schools, ages, phone numbers, or addresses.
* Never open an email from a stranger - it may contain viruses that can harm
your computer.
* Never send pictures to strangers or view pictures that strangers send to you.
* Keep passwords private (except to your parents).
* Tell a trusted adult if something mean or creepy happens on the internet.
