Top 7 Tips for:
Keeping Safe in Cyberspace

1. Never reveal personal information

  • Things like your address, phone number, and full name online 
  • can put you in danger if someone accesses it.                      

2. Photo sharing

  • Don't post any photos online that you wouldn't
  • want your whole school to see. Every image
  • can have a chain effect. Before you know it
  • one image could be viewed hundreds of times. 
  • Even if you delete it, there could still be copies out there.

3. age restrictions

  • Always pay attention to age restrictions. They
  • are there for a reason. Websites like Facebook
  • have a restriction put in place because images
  • or language can be inappropriate for underage 
  • users. 

4. don't hide behind your computer screen

  • Never say something to a person online that you
  • wouldn't say to their face. Online comments or messages
  • are permanent and cyberbullying is a serious offence.

5. Friend requests

  • Always set your profile on private. Never accept
  • people you don't know. At first it seems pretty tame
  • to accept friends of friends, but soon you have hundreds
  • of people you've never met on your profile, viewing your 
  • posts and pictures. 

6. don't do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable

  • If someone is asking you an invasive question that 
  • you don't want to answer, don't. When someone 
  • posts a picture of you you don't want online, ask them to  
  • take it down. If you feel like a stranger is getting far too personal,
  •  shut down your computer and tell someone you trust. 

7. Not everyone is who they say they are

  • The 'hot' 13 year old boy from the school down the road
  • who wants your number, could be a 60 year old man who 
  • contacts hundreds of vulnerable young people like you everyday. 
  • If you don't know someone well in real life, don't let them get to know
  • YOU well online.
