www.Webwisekids.org, an online-education site, offers these Internet safety tips.
Don't ever post your full name, your school, your phone number, your address or a picture. Such information makes it possible for strangers to find you. Cut off contact with anyone who pressures you for personal information.
Parents, friends and strangers can see anything you post online. Think before you hit "send."
What you post can live in cyberspace. Others, including future colleges and employers, can find and use the information, sometimes years later. Don't post anything today that you wouldn't want to see tomorrow.
Everything you read isn't true. Be careful of strangers who promise to be your friend or offer free prizes.
Don't open e-mails or attachments from people you don't know.
Always tell an adult when someone online makes you feel uncomfortable.
