Internet Safety  

The Internet is a wonderful and fun place, but it’s also like the real world. It can be unsafe sometimes too. Just as there are safety tips when you are at the playground, swimming or riding your bike there are ways to help you surf safely on the Internet.

  • Follow your family’s rules for using the Internet.
  • Never give out your personal information, like your address, phone number, what school you go to or your real name.
  • Never agree to get together with someone you meet on the Internet.
  • Don’t be an online bully. It’s not ok to write mean things about people on the Internet. Tell an adult if you get bullied online.
  • Keep your password a secret. Don’t even tell it to your best friend.
  • If you feel uncomfortable about something you’ve seen or read on the Internet, let your parents, teacher, librarian or other adult know.
