The Internet is a great place to learn new things and communicate with other students. But there are also some dangers that go along with this new resource. It is important that you stay safe while you are on the Internet. Here are some tips on how to stay safe:

1.  Don't ever give out personal information without your parent's permission first. This includes your address, telephone number, parent's work address/telephone number, or the name and location of your school.

2.  Tell your parents right away if you come across any information that makes you feel uncomfortable.


3.  Don't ever agree to get together with someone you meet online without checking with your parents FIRST. If your parents say that it is okay to meet with the person, then make sure that it is in a public place. Also, bring your mother and/or father along to the meeting.

4.  Never send someone your picture or anything else without first checking with your parents.

5.  Do not respond to any messages that are mean or make you feel uncomfortable. It is not your fault if you get a message like that. If you do, tell your parents right away so that they can contact the online service.

The Internet has many fun and educational websites that offer anything from help with homework to music to news for kids. But, please remember your safety tips. If you have any questions about anything that you see or read--tell your parents right away. They are there to help protect you.
