Internet Safety

The Internet is a wonderful and fun place, but its also like the real world - it can be unsafe at times too.

Here are some tips to stay safe while surfing on the Web:

Don't give out personal information like your address, phone number, or school information.
Don't ever get together with someone that you have met online.
Don't do anything that hurts other people or is against the law.
If you feel uncomfortable about something you've seen or read on the Internet, let your parents, teacher, librarian, or other adult know.
