Online Safety Recap

I think important aspects about protecting yourself online is so nothing bad happens and you don't get affected.When you are on the internet you shouldn't give out any personal information. If something pops up and you don't know what it is, tell an adult. Also, don't talk to strangers online and if you are too young to have an account on something don't lie about your age to get on. Make sure to be polite on the internet and don't cyber bully people. Cyber bullying is like bullying but over the internet, this also includes things like XBOX Live and PSN, not just the computer. Practice netiquette also. Be nice to people, don't start fights, and respect their privacy. There's also this thing called identity theft. It's when someone tries to steal information about you and use your money to buy things for themselves basically. None of you have credit because you're so young but that doesn't mean you shouldn't care becasue it could affect your future and it could still happen. To make sure ID theft doesn't happen don't give out your credit card number or personal information to strangers including your social security number or anything else.
