Staying Safe Online!

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to post some more informative posts on my blog and to talk about things that will be able to help other people as well as doing fun posts.

Today I wanted to talk about how to be safe online because I feel that younger people are now online a lot earlier on in life than children used to be so it is important that they know what to do and how to be safe online.

Here are some tips I have to take into account when using the internet.

1. Keep personal details & passwords private.
2. Don't share your full name, address, date of birth, school, telephone number or email address online.
3. Only accept friend requests from people you know.
4. Never open strange emails. They could be viruses and this can be damaging to your computer.
5. Never go to meet someone you have met online alone. If you do want to meet an internet friend you should go with an adult and make sure you friend has an adult coming with them too.
6. If you become a victim of online trolls tell someone. They will be able to help you. Also make sure you save or screenshots and messages as proof of what is going on.

I hope you find this post helpful. I think these are important rules to follow when using the internet. Just always remember to stay safe when using the internet. Thanks for reading!
