Cyber Safety

Be CyberSmart:

1.    Be nice no matter how much something irks you. Ignore nasty posts or comments. Don't ‘fix’ people online.

2.    Don't write hate mails. Don't threaten anyone.

3.    A post can be traced to your laptop. You are not that anonymous on the internet.

4.    Internet has an indefinite memory. Don't write something thinking it will evaporate in sometime.

5.    Don't create fake IDs ever.

6.    Alert your friends if you notice multiple accounts with their pictures. Ask them to do the same for you.

7.    Cyber bullying and hacking are not fun; they are, in fact, illegal. You don't want to get jailed, right?

8.    Don't share nude pictures with ANYONE.

9.    Don't be frank about your political views. Don't be racist or sexist.

10.Don't believe the DPs and names. They can be fake

11.Don't befriend coolguy19 or hotchick16 unless you know them well personally.

12.Don't share your account passwords with anyone but your parents

13.Don't meet people befriended online, no matter how many common friends you have.

14.Don't share your phone number, home address and school details.

15.Don't share other personal details like parents’ names, work, their credit card PIN

16.Don't visit porn-sites. Don't think that deleting history will help. What you search reflects in ‘suggested for you’

17.Keep your parents aware of your online activities. They can protect you better if they are aware.

18.You hide the wrong things from your parents, don’t you?
