 Internet is a lot of fun and there are indeed quite a few educational things to do on the web for
kids. But there are a few things that you must always keep in mind. You need to be careful on the net. |
| Here are some things to remember: NEVER GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFORMATION - your full name, address, phone number, school name and address or any other personal information without your parent's permission. FOLLOW THE RULES you and your parents have set up regarding your use of the net and your behavior. WATCH OUT FOR VIRUSES. Also, if someone sends you e-mail, and no door in your brain opens and tells you who the person is, immediately delete it. It may contain destructive viruses. REMEMBER THE INTERNET ISN'T PRIVATE. When you are instant messaging someone or e-mailing someone, nothing is private. That means that you have to make sure that you never give your friend some information that you don't want anyone else to learn. Instead, tell them at school or whenever you get the chance to see them. Do not enter contests without asking your parents first. Check with your parents before downloading programs to your computer. If someone sends you something that makes you uncomfortable, let your parents or teacher know. Never respond to it yourself. Never agree to meet someone you've met on the net without your parent's permission and an escort. Do not click on any links that are contained in e-mail from anyone you don't know. Never send a person your picture (or anything else) without your parent's permission. Do not give out your Internet passwords to anyone (even best friends), other than your parents. Treat others on the Internet the way you want to be treated! They are people, not computers! |
