What is most important to remember?
Make sure a parent, teacher or guardian knows when you're surfing the net.
If you get an e-mail with rude or unpleasant things, you MUST tell a responsible adult straight away and DON'T reply to it!
Remember that it's not your fault that someone has sent you this.
Staying safe in chatrooms
1. If you're asked for a screen name to use in a chatroom use a nickname - never your real name.
2. If you're in a chatroom and you start feeling uncomfortable about what someone's saying, get out of there and tell an adult.
3. People may not be who they say they are.
4. If you get an e-mail telling you not to tell your parents about it, don't reply and tell an adult straight away.
Is e-mail safe?
Don't open e-mails, downloads or attachments from people you don't know: they might have viruses or unwanted messages inside.
What info can't I give out?
Unless you have an adult's permission never ever give out:
Your real name
Your home, school or e-mail address
Your phone number
A photo of yourself
Your parents' credit card details
Can I meet webpals in person?
Never ever meet anyone you've met over the internet without a parent's/guardian's permission and even then make sure you have an adult with you.
