Passwords Don t share your passwords with anyone. If you forget your password go to the school office to have it reset. Make them secure: Should have at least 8 characters Should include capital and lower case letters Should include at least one number and one special character DON T use the same password for everything Change your passwords from time to time
Don t share devices Your device is your own property. If you allow someone use your device, you are potentially giving them free access to your privacy. A lot of people have passwords saved automatically and when you allow someone to use your device, they may get into your facebook or emails without your knowing. It is very easy for someone to pretend to be you online so avoid this by keeping your device to yourself. If you do allow someone use your device, make sure you are watching what they are doing. If you feel someone is pressuring you into sharing your device, please let a teacher or your parents know.
Social media Websites like Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, etc Typing words and posting them to these kinds of sites is like talking in public Posting photographs on these sites is like appearing in public. Make sure your personal settings on these sites are safe settings for someone your age Once something is out there you can t get it back.
You can t be sure of a person s real identity online. That cool person you re chatting with who says he or she is fifteen and hot might actually look like this: Never give out your address or agree to meet someone you don t know in real life. Do not tell someone your do not know where you go to school or where you go after school. There are some creepy people out there don t be tricked by them!
If someone is being rude or mean block them. If you encounter someone online who is cruel or insulting to you BLOCK that person DO NOT chat or text with that person!!!
If you do get bullied Save the evidence. The only good news about digital bullying is that the harassing messages can usually be captured, saved, and shown to someone who can help. You need to do this even if it s minor stuff, in case things escalate.
If things get really bad talk to someone Talk to an adult who cares: Mom or Dad Teacher Uncle or Aunt Counselor or Principal Minister or religious leader Coach or mentor OR ask a close friend to recommend a trustworthy adult
Be careful about what you share If you share a picture of yourself doing something stupid that picture could be seen by your parents, teachers or others. If you engage in name-calling or being mean to others, it can come back and hurt you later. If you share personal information or embarrassing stories, be aware that those things will get around, eventually, to someone you wish did not know. If you text, chat or post something, it can be shared with others that you did not intend to share it with.
If someone is doing something wrong online, tell a trusted adult If you know about a friend who is doing dangerous things on the internet, it s better to tell a trusted adult. If someone on the internet seems like they are acting creepy or inappropriate, tell a trusted adult. Don t endanger yourself by engaging in mean behavior online. If you do mean things, you open yourself up to the same thing happening to you. Don t encourage others to be mean or do dangerous things online. Report it if you witness someone being mistreated online. Bullying is never cool.
