Don't Reveal Too Much
- Once you put something on the Internet, it’s out of your control. Forever.
- Talk with a trusted adult about what information is OK to send online or through text messages.
- Be careful about what you share—it could end up anywhere!
- If you get a text, IM, or e-mail that was meant to be private, think before you forward it. Would you want someone to share your secrets?
- Mad at a friend or want to get back at an enemy? Don’t do it online.
- Kids have been suspended and even arrested for sending or posting rude and threatening messages.
- Remember, it doesn’t take very long for a text message or online content to travel. Something that you regret saying now could be all over your school in a matter of minutes.
- Talk to a trusted adult about any information you receive or see online that makes you scared or uncomfortable
