​​Never give any information out about yourself (or anyone else) over the Internet.

​

​Never download any files on to your computer without a parent or adult's consent.

​

​If anyone online says anything inappropriate to you, harasses you, or sends you unwanted e-mail, tell an adult immediately, and report it to the proper authorities.

​

​Remember that on the Internet, people can pretend to be who they are not, and they may go to great lengths to sound convincing.

​

​If you use chat rooms, use a different chat name (if possible) than your user name or e-mail address.

​

​Remember, Internet friendships, relationships, and conversations can never be as true, personal, and rewarding as they are in person. If you really need to talk to someone, find a friend, family member, or adult you trust.​

​

​Be wary of ANYONE who wants to know personal information about you.

​

​Never buy anything over the Internet without your parent or guardian's approval.
