12 Online Safety Commandments

  • Remember:  people may not be who, or how old they say they are
  • Never disclose identifying details
  • Only message (eg. MSN) people already known in the real world
  • Never reply to cyber-bullying:  block the sender, save the evidence, and tell a trusted adult.
  • Don’t spend time on websites that make you feel bad about yourself
  • Set social networking profiles to “private” – and be careful who is added as a “friend”
  • Set internet security settings as high possible
  • Never do anything online that could jeopardise your education or your career, or lead to a criminal record
  • Think of yourself as a role model:  what might happen if a much younger child saw your on line profile?  
  • Never respond to spam e mails, dubious competitions or chain letters
  • Don’t spend too much time online:  have “real-world” friends and interests, too 
  • Pray regularly that God will bless and protect your time on line
