Internet Safety for Teens
Cyberbullying is the use of technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, to hurt another person.
Think before you send. Would you want some one to do that to you? Do you understand what it will do to someone? There is a difference between funny and cool. Don't send anything you wouldn't say to someones |

Be careful what you put online. It never goes away you never know who is gonna see it, friends, family, future employers.
Not everyone is who they say they are. There are stalkers and Sex Offenders. If you wouldn't do it in person you shouldn't do it online. Whats funny now may not be later. |
Imagine if everyone could see anything you ever posted. How would you feel if everyone on the street knew everything about you, family, friends, Even not so friendly friends.
Creepy! |

the only thing standing between your personal information and a criminal is your password. so what makes a password strong?
should not include any information about you. a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters and a random number even special characters. also words not in a dictionary. don't tell anyone your password. also never write it down. |
free movies=illegally downloaded
illegally downloaded movies= loss of jobs if you get it on the street or online its still illegal. not a victimless crime |
