Never give out your full name, address, phone number, school name and address or any other personal information without your parent's permission. |

|
Check with your parents before downloading programs to your computer. |
|

If someone sends you something abusive or that makes you uncomfortable, let your parents or teacher know. Never respond to it yourself. |

|
Never agree to meet someone you've met on the net without your parent's permission and an escort. |
