Online Safety!
It is important for teens to remember to stay safe online, especially when interacting with others. Inappropriate content, Internet predators and cyber bullies are lurking around every corner. Even though may not want their parents involved in their Internet use, allowing parents to be involved a little can help keep everyone safe. Take the following precautions to ensure online safety:
- Keep the family computer in a public place, such as the kitchen or living room.
- Make sure privacy settings are enabled on social networking pages and provide parents with the password for random checks.
- Set time limits on Internet use.
- Tell parents about any concerns or instances of cyber bullying.
