Tell your parents right away if you come across any information that makes you feel uncomfortable.

Never send a person your picture or anything else without first checking with your parents.
 
Do not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make you feel uncomfortable. It is not your fault if you get a message like that.  If you do, tell your parents right away.
 
Talk with your parents so that you can set up rules for going on-line and using a mobile phone. Together, you will decide upon the time of day that you can be on-line, the length of time you can be online and appropriate areas for you to visit. Do not access other areas or break these rules without their permission.
 
Do not give out your passwords to anyone (even your best friends) other than your parents.
 
Check with your parents before downloading or installing software or doing anything that could possibly hurt your computer or mobile device or jeopardize your family’s privacy.
 
Be a good on-line citizen and not do anything that hurts other people or is against the law.
 
Help your parents understand how to have fun and learn things on-line and teach them things about the Internet, computers and other technology.
