** The internet can be used for many useful ways like researching, homework, or for fun. But, sometimes the internet can be a dangerous place. People can cyber bully, or people may ask you for personal information that you should never, ever give out. If anyone asks for your personal information or you ever feel uncomfortable online you should tell a parent or guardian immediately. You should always ask a parent or guardian before making a username and password on a web site, because you may think that the web site is safe, but you could be wrong. On Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and other social networking web sites, you always have to be careful who to befriend. If you have no mutual friends, and you have never met them in person before then you should not accept their friend request! **

10 Tips
 * ** Do not give out your personal information **
 * ** Never write to someone that has made you uncomfortable or scared. **
 * ** Do not meet someone you have met without permission from your parents. **

 * ** Never send pictures of yourself to a stranger **
 * ** Never, ever give out your addresses, school name, age or anyone elses personal information! **
 * ** Remember to tell an adult if there are any forms of bullying online **
 * ** Don't write in all caps when you are typing something because people might think you’re angry at them! **
