Never give out personal information like your last name, phone number, address, telephone number, parent's work address/telephone number, or the name or location of  your school without a parent or teacher's permission. Never give out your on-line passwords to anyone, even your friends.  Also, it would be a good idea to change your password frequently.

• Never agree to get together with someone you "meet" on-line without first checking and talking it over with your parents.  If your parents agree to the meeting, be sure that it's in a public place and have your parents go with you!  Never at your house!
  
• Never send a person your picture or anything else without first checking with your parents.

Never respond to any messages that make you feel uncomfortable in any way.  If you receive a message that gives you those feelings, tell your parents or teacher right away so that they can contact the on-line service.

• Talk to your parents so that you can make rules for going on-line that are safe and fair.
  
• Be careful when someone offers you something for nothing, such as gifts and money.
  
• Don't tell anyone on-line that you're home alone.
  
• No name calling, cursing, or other unacceptable language should be used when talking on-line.

Always ask your parents before downloading anything or before filling out guest books.  Some programs may have viruses that can damage your computer.

• There are some places on the Internet only for adults.  If you happen to find yourself at one of these sites, leave immediately!  Then, go tell your parents what happened.
  
• Never enter a chat room or other discussion group on-line without first checking with your parents.
  
• Never give your E-mail address out without first checking with your parents.
  
• If you are in a chat room and an inappropriate discussion comes up, leave immediately!
  
• If you can, keep your computer in an open place so that your parents can see what you're doing on-line.
