SAFE

MEETING

ACCEPTING

RELIABLE

TELL

Stay safe by not giving out personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, home address, or school name to people you do not know online.

Meeting someone you have been in touch with only on the internet can be dangerous. Only do so with your parents’/guardians’ permission or when they are present.

Accepting emails and instant messages or opening files from people you do not know or trust can be dangerous—these may contain malware or nasty messages.

Someone online may be lying about who he or she is. All information you find on the internet may not be reliable as well.

Tell your parents, caregivers, or trusted adults if someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried.
