Be Informed...Be Proactive...Be Safe...Rules to Follow on the Internet:
You now know about just a few of the possible dangers that exist on the internet. The following basic 'do not's' will help to protect you while you surf the internet:
- Do not share your passwords, full name, phone numbers, or home address details with anyone online. If your friends need them, they can ask you personally!
- Do not open emails from strangers. Definitely avoid opening e-mails with suspicious subject lines like 'lottery' or 'invite'.
- Do not click on advertisements on the sides of websites. Often they can lead to dirty websites and videos
- Do not upload your picture. If you need to do so, take your elder siblings' help or ask your parents for advice.
- Do not change the internet settings your parents have made. They have made these settings for your own safety.
- DON'T EVER agree to meet someone you met online in person. It could be someone with bad intentions who is not who he/she claims to be. If you must meet them, take your parents with you.
