Remember:
-
Never meet in person with anyone you don't already know. People are often not who they say they are.
-
Do not fill out any "fun" questionnaires that are forwarded to you, even if they're from your friends.
-
Know everyone on your "friends" list.
-
There's no such thing as "private" on the Internet. People can keep what you post forever.
-
Do not answer e-mails or IMs from people you don't know.
-
Be careful about posting pictures of yourself or other people.
-
Do not download content without your parents' permission.
-
Never share your password with anyone but your parents.
