enermous amount of information. There are lots of great educational sites
as well as places to keep in touch with your favourite sports, hobbies,
music, and much more if you’re a teenager, you probably know about the
benefits of using the internet. Many teenagers know more than their
parents or teachers about the wonders of cyberspace.
Cyberspace is like a big city. There are libraries, universities, museums,
places to have fun, and plenty of opportunities to meet wonderful people
from all walks of life. But, like in any community, there are also some
people and areas that you ought to avoid and others that you should
approach only with caution. Using the internet can sometimes be
dangerous. Learn these SMART rules and make sure that you always surf
safely.
SECRET! Always keep your name, address, phone numbers and passwords
secret. Giving them to people is like giving them the keys to your
home!
MEETING! Meeting someone you have met on the internet can be dangerous.
The best thing is not to do it. If you do meet someone, choose a safe
place.
ACCEPTING! Accepting emails from people you don’t know or trust can get you
into trouble. They may contain viruses or nasty messages.
REMEMBER! Someone you meet on the internet may be lying and not who they
say they are. Stay in public areas in chat rooms and be careful!
