Have fun on the internet and explore cool sites, but remember to always be cybersmart.
Always remember the followings:
1. Keep your password a secret, never give it to anyone not even your best friend.
2. Ask your parents/guardian before you give anyone on the internet your name or address, your 'phone number, or any other personal details about you and your family.
3. Meeting people online might be fun, but remember the people you meet online may not be who they say they are. Someone claiming to be a 13 may be 40.
4. If you want to meet someone you have so far only met online, discuss with elders and ask them to accompany you. Always meet in a popular public place during the day.
5. If someone writes something rude or something that makes you feel uncomfortable in chat or email, leave the chatroom and don't respond to the email. (I hope you had not given your phone number.)
6. Be very careful about the kind of information you put in a networking site, blog, or post to a message board - it doesn't take much to give away your identity.
7. Tell your elders if you see upsetting language, nasty pictures or something scary on the internet.
8. Always ask a parent or adult before you fill out any forms. Ask parents' permission where money or credit card details are needed.
9. Don't accept any offers that seem too good to be true - they probably are too good to be true.
10. Be safe. Be smart!

Hi Deep,
Firstly, i must appreciate your effort. its a great idea to start off something like this since todays teens dont really feel free to talk to anyone about their problems. i ve personally felt this problem in my teens. if you dont mind, i would like to add a few points in this:
-Never give out your email address to sign up for newsletters etc in unknown sites (like ones for harry potter and cartoons etc), you always end up being spammed!
-Avoid clicking on unknown links on websites and unknown downloads, it can be a virus and you can spoil your computer!
thank you. Yes, downloading is an issue.
we shud even keep changing our passwords every month.... to prevent hacking of accounts.... shouldn't we?????
