  15. Top tips and tricks Don’t post stuff that is very personal – keep information general Think carefully about posting pictures online – once it’s there, anyone can see it or use it Don’t share your passwords – keep your personal information private! It’s not a good idea to meet up with anyone you meet online – you don’t really know who they are! Try to think carefully before you write things online – people can get the wrong end of the stick Respect other people’s views – just because you don’t agree with them, it doesn’t mean you have to be rude or abusive
