The internet can be a fun place for you to learn and play. However, there are some things about the internet that could be dangerous. Here are some ways that you can stay safe while you a browsing and chatting with your friends.

	First, remember never to give out personal information such as your name, home address, school name, or telephone number in a chat room or on bulletin boards.
	Never send a picture of yourself to someone you chat with on the computer without your parent's permission.
	Never write to someone who has made you feel uncomfortable or scared.
	Do not meet someone or have them visit you without the permission of your parents.
	Tell your parents right away if you read anything on the Internet that makes you feel uncomfortable.
	Remember that people online may not be who they say they are. Someone who says that "she" is a "12-year-old girl" could really be an older man.
