Social Networks

Quick tips for keeping yourself safe on social networks

• Put everything behind password protected walls, where only friends can see
• Protect your password and make sure you really know who someone is before you allow them onto your friends list
• Blur or morph your photos a bit so they won't be abused by cyberbullies or predators
• Don't post anything your parents, principal or a predator couldn't see
• What you post online stays online - forever - so, ThinkB4uClick!
• Don't so or say anything online you wouldn't say offline
• Protect your privacy and your friends' privacy too...get their okay before posting something about them or their pic online
• Check what your friends are posting/saying about you. Even if you are careful, they may not be and may be putting you at risk.
• That cute fourteen year old boy may not be cute, may not be fourteen and may not be a boy! You never know!
• And, unless you’re prepared to attach your MySpace to your college, job, internship, scholarship or sports team application, don’t post it publicly!
