  10. Tips for Socializing Safely Online continued Don’t flirt with strangers online. Post only information that you are comfortable with others seeing and knowing about you. Remember, once your information is posted, you can’t take it back. Someone can forward this information and millions of people have access. DO NOT post your picture.

  12. Tips for Youth Remember, your profile is on a public space. People aren’t always who they say they are. Harassment, hate speech, and inappropriate content should be reported. Tell your parents or an adult if this happens. Don’t mislead people into thinking that you’re older or younger than you really are. Don’t post anything that would embarrass you later. National Crime Prevention Council

  13. Tips for Youth continued Always follow your family’s rules for using the Internet. Don’t open up emails, files, or web pages that you get from people you don’t really know or trust. Don’t ever do anything that could cost your family money unless your parents are there to help you do it. Don’t ever give out your password. National Crime Prevention Council
