6. Personal Online Profile
Sexual predators use social networking websites such as Snapchat and Facebook to find potential victims.
You may not know it, but sometimes people you just answer, whether it is by IM, DM, or popular web log (BLOG), can trace you and find out your information.
Predators will create a false profile and lie about themselves. A 17-year-old boy/girl may actually be a 48-year-old man/woman.

7. Personal Online Profile
DO NOT post your personal information online, especially your name, school, address, or telephone number. Watch what information you share indirectly – school mascot, friends’ information, etc.
Plenty of people on the Internet want to steal your personal information, either to harm your computer or you. Posting your personal information online can make you a target and potential victim.
This information should be kept private at all times.

8. What do I do?
The truth is you will never really know who you're conversing with online. Always be careful!
If anyone asks you for your personal information, do not respond and block them or erase them off of your list(s).
If you continue to get asked and/or are being harassed, report them to the service you're using. Most people don't think it will help, but it really does.
If things continue to get out of hand,
then go straight to the police.

9. Photographs
Be cautious about posting photos of yourself and others online.
Anyone can use your photo in bad ways or change the image without your permission.
Once an image is placed on the Internet, even if you delete it, the picture will remain on the web forever.
Choose your photos thoughtfully.
Create an online reputation that represents who you are but doesn't embarrass you when your teacher, parents, or future employer finds you on the Web.

10. Photographs
Avoid posting photos that can easily allow people to identify you, especially photos that are sexually suggestive or show underage drinking or drug use.
Although it may seem fun right now to post pictures of yourself and friends, these pictures can cause you trouble in the future when you apply to college or for a job.

11. Screen name
Choose a screen name that does NOT give away your name, age, gender, and hometown
a) John14NY c) Main123
b) Gymnstgrl d) TerraVdn
Just by looking at screen names A and B, a stranger can tell whether you are a boy or girl, how old you are, and where you live.
However, screen names C and D don’t reveal any personal
information about the user.

12. Online Safety Tip
If you create an online profile or keep an online diary/blog, consider the following…
Do not post any personal identifying information about yourself
Be careful about which photos you decide to post online
Use your privacy settings to control who can view your profile
Remember, by posting your personal information online, you make yourself a potential victim.

14. If someone online wants to send you pictures of themselves,
say NO.
The person can send you viruses or inappropriate pictures.
If you refuse and the person still sends you pictures, immediately tell your parents or a responsible adult.
Do NOT delete anything the person sent you.

15. Rules for Online Safety
Do not give out personal identifying information
Choose a screen name that does not give away your name, age, gender, and hometown
Don’t say anything in a chatroom/IM that you wouldn’t say in public
Never agree to get together with someone you meet online
Don’t accept photos from others or send photos of yourself

18. Why Cyberbullying is Different
Kids who are being cyberbullied are often bullied in person as well. Additionally, kids who are cyberbullied have a harder time getting away from the behavior.
Cyberbullying can happen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and reach a kid even when he or she is alone. It can happen any time of the day or night.
Deleting inappropriate or harassing messages, texts, and pictures is extremely difficult after they have been posted or sent.

19. Effects of Cyberbullying
Kids who are cyberbullied are more likely to:
Use alcohol and drugs
Skip school
Experience in-person bullying
Be unwilling to attend school
Receive poor grades
Have lower self-esteem
Have more health problems
Cell phones and computers themselves are not to blame for cyberbullying. Social media sites can be used for positive activities, like connecting kids with friends and family, helping students with school, and for entertainment. But these tools can also be used to hurt other people. Whether done in person or through technology, the effects of bullying are similar
