  13. 1. Exercise the Golden Rule. • Do unto others as you would have them do unto you! • If you wouldn’t speak to the person that way face to face, then don’t do it online. http://www.psychologytoday.com

  14. 2. Remember, everything you post online is public. • It doesn’t matter whether or not you delete the message or text. • Once it’s out, it’s traceable.

  15. 3. Don’t use all caps. • This means that you are shouting!

  16. 4. Speak kindly. • It may look like a screen in front of you, but there’s another person on the receiving end.

  17. 5. Don’t post things when you’re angry. • Take time to clear your head. • Refrain from saying something you’ll regret later.

  18. 6. Use different usernames and passwords. • If someone gets your password, they’ll have access to everything. • Don’t use the same word for both username and password.

  20. 8. Don’t post pictures of yourself or others unless you want them to be seen by your parents, etc. • Be very selective of what you post. • Always have your parents review before you post. • If you are posting a picture with a friend in it, check with their parents before posting.

  21. 9. Don’t talk to strangers. • Don’t reveal any confidential information (first or last name, age, school, birth date, phone number, address, etc.) • The person you are chatting with may be a phony! http://www.netsmartz.org/reallifestories/trackingteresa
