Interenet safety!

Mon Mar 24, 2008 3:31 pm by supergirl4

I just want to let you all know that the internet is a very big
place and can be very scary. But, sometimes when you are on the web you
feel safe because you are at home or school and you feel like nothing
can happen to you. The sad thing is that it can happen to you.

I'm not trying to scare you but if you take some steps and are smart, you can make the web a fun

place to hang out.

On the internet, never assume that because someone's profile says
that they are only 12. Someone who says that "she" is a "12-year-old
girl" could really be an older man. Also, never assume that the
pictures or videos that you post are only for you and your friends.
Anyone can save your picture or video to their computer. Pictures and
videos on the web are never private so be careful what you put up on
your MySpace, Facebook or YouTube.

Here are some more tips to keep you safe of the internet...

"Kids' Rules for Online Safety

1. I will not give out personal information such as my address,
telephone number, parents’ work address/telephone number, or the name
and location of my school without my parents’ permission.

2. I will tell my parents right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.

3. I will never agree to get together with someone I "meet" online
without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the
meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring my
mother or father along.

4. I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.

5. I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way
make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like
that. If I do I will tell my parents right away so that they can
contact the service provider.

6. I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for
going online. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online,
the length of time I can be online and appropriate areas for me to
visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without their
permission.

7. I will not give out my Internet password to anyone (even my best friends) other than my parents.

8. I will check with my parents before downloading or installing
software or doing anything that could possibly hurt our computer or
jeopardize my family’s privacy

9. I will be a good online citizen and not do anything that hurts other people or is against the law.

10. I will help my parents understand how to have fun and learn
things online and teach them things about the Internet, computers and
other technology."

- If you ever get a message or post here that makes you feel
uncomfortable please tell a Mod and your parents or someone else you
trust.

- If you ever get a message asking you for pictures of yourself,
please do not send your pictures! Tell a Mod and your parents or
someone you trust.

- Be mindful of posting pictures of yourself or your real name on
here. If I see your real name around here I and the other mods will
either delete it or change it.

- Remember when posting links to your website, make sure your real name or pictures are not on the website.

If you have any questions or comments respond here or you are welcome to PM anyone in the mod team.

Thanks for reading and I hope it won't get so far,that you won't feel safe on my website anymore.

~Take care~
