2. RULES FOR ONLINE SAFETY
• Personal information is private
• Protect your passwords
• Cyber Bullying is not ok
• Scams, ads, and spam
• Online friend safety
3. DO NOT SHARE PERSONAL INFO
• Never give out personal information
that can be used to identify you.
• Things such as
name, address, school name, birth
date, phone number, etc.
• Never post pictures of yourself.
• Always always always ask a parent
or guardian if it is ok to share your
personal information.
4. PROTECT YOUR PASSWORDS
• Just like your personal information, your passwords should never
be given out to anyone but a parent or guardian. Not even to
someone you like or your best friend.
• No one should ever ask you for your password.
• When you use a public computer make sure you log out of all
the accounts you used, and never save passwords or logins.
5. CYBER BULLYING IS NOT OK
• Just like bullying in person, online
bullying is hurtful and is never ok.
• Don’t send insulting messages to
someone because online they
don’t know if you’re joking or being
hurtful.
• If someone makes you feel
uncomfortable tell an adult.
• Remember that nothing on the
internet is private and you can
never completely erase it. That
includes email. Think before you act
and when in doubt, ask an adult.
6. SCAMS AND ADS
• Rule #1 of advertisements is that if its
too good to be true, it probably is.
• Be careful when offered something for
nothing. Never click on these ads, they
are designed to steal your personal
information and infect your computer
with viruses.
• Don’t buy anything online without your
parents permission.
• Ask your parents before
installing/downloading any software as
it may too be infected with viruses.
7. ONLINE FRIENDS
• Meeting people on the internet can
be exciting. However, it is easy to
hide who you are on the internet.

• Never give out personal information
to online friends, and only agree to
meet with them if your parents say its
ok.
• Never meet new online friends
without your parents present.
