The internet is a great place to
find all kinds of information. The fact that you've come to this website, shows
that you probably already know that.
You can find information on almost
any subject that interests you on the internet.
Use it to locate more
information about a research paper that you are writing. use it to get some
math help.
Whatever it is, you can find it on the internet.
Be
careful though never to give out personal information. That includes your full
name, your address, your phone number, any information about your parents, or
their work.
If you are going to but something on the internet, be sure
that it is a secure page. You can tell if it is secure by looking for the
little yellow lock at the bottom of the page. You can also tell by looking at
the address bar. Where it usually says "http", a secure page will show
"https".
In today's society, you need to be careful of forums, and
chatrooms too. Often times, there are grownups pretending to be kids out there.
They try to become your friend, and get to know you, and then they want to meet
you. These people are very dangerous.
Anytime someone tries to get
personal information from you, stop communicating them immediately.
Talk
to your parents about it.
Your parents will never let anything bad
happen to you.
The most important thing is to be careful of the websites
that you visit. Stay away from forums and chatrooms unless you know the person
that you are communicating with. Online strangers are just as dangerous as the
strangers you might meet on the street.
Use the internet wisely. Only
visit websites that serve to offer you specific information.
Don't make
any purchases without your parent's approval.
Never give out personal
information.
Look out for yourself, and be smart.
