The Internet is great
and a fun way to explore. However,
there are bad people out there that want to take advantage of kids.
Here are some tips to be smart when surfing on the World Wide Web:
-
Be very careful
when on the Internet. People
online may not be who they say they are.

Never give
out your real name, your age or where you live when you’re in a
public chat room, on an electronic bulletin board or in your E-mail
messages.
-
Make up fun
nicknames when you are online.
-
Never call anyone you meet on the Internet.
-
Never send
anyone you don’t know a picture of yourself.

never give out any passwords.
People who work for the Internet will never ask for passwords.

make you do things that make you feel bad.

an area on the Internet that asks for money for without asking permission
from your parents first.
