Internet Safety Tips for Kids and TeensInternet Safety

DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION. That means your name,
phone numbers, password, address, photos, weight, height, birthday,
age or credit card information.
DO NOT go to meet someone you don’t already know in real life.
DO NOT fill out entry forms online to win free stuff.
DO NOT download content without your parents’ permission.
Never share your password with anyone but your parents.
There is no such thing as “private” on the Internet.
You may think so, but it’s not true.
People can find anything they want –
and keep what you post – forever!
