Who are you talking to?
• People may not be who they say they are
• If the conversation turns to sex or starts to get creepy, get out of there
• Never meet up with someone you first met online
• But if you must, take along a parent or a bunch of your friends and make sure it’s in a public place and let people know where you’re going
Your real name Your address or city Your school Your age, grade or birthday Your gender Your cell phone or home phone numbers Your pictures or videos Anything you would be embarrassed about
Learn to use the privacy tools
Don’t post stuff that will get you in trouble now or in the future
Be honest about your age◦ There are good reasons that
they ask what year you were born
• Tag responsibly
• Only invite “Friends” you know well
It’s up to you to control what other people know about you
If it’s private, don’t post it online – not even via email
◦ Anything can be copied, pasted and forwarded
Once it’s posted, you can’t take it back
• Don’t share your passwords, even with your best friend
• Use strong passwords, not easy ones to figure out
• Only invite friends who you have met in person – and choose them carefully. It’s ok not to “friend” someone
• Get to know the privacy settings and use them
• Don’t post any personal information
• Your address or city• Your school• Your age, grade or birth year• Your cell phone or home phone
numbers• Anything you would be embarrassed
about• Information or pictures about other
people
Save the evidence Ask them to remove the information Don’t retaliate or get even Report it to your parents or other adult
Report it to the site administrator of the online site
