We care about your safety in the online world. We want to make sure you have the knowledge and tools to stay safe while exploring the amazing possibilities of the internet.

​

Here are some basic principles we want you to remember:

1. Be smart about sharing: Always think before you share any personal information online. Remember to keep your full name, address, school, and phone number private. Be cautious about sharing photos or videos that might reveal too much about you.
    

2. Keep passwords secret: Your passwords are like keys to your online accounts. Don't share them with anyone, not even your best friend. Create strong passwords using a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to keep your accounts secure.
    

3. Be mindful of who you talk to: The online world connects us with people from all around the globe, but not everyone is who they say they are. Be careful when chatting with strangers online. Stick to talking with people you know in real life, and always let a trusted adult know if someone makes you uncomfortable.
    

4. Think twice before posting: Once you post something online, it's out there for the world to see. Before you hit that "share" button, ask yourself if you would feel comfortable with your parents, teachers, or future employers seeing it. If not, it might be best to rethink your post.

Remember, if you ever come across anything that makes you feel scared, worried, or uncomfortable online, don't hesitate to seek help. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent, teacher, or use the links on this page to seek help.. They are there to support you and guide you through any online challenges you may face.
