Things To Consider While Being Digitally Connected

• 1. I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone

number, parents’ work address/telephone number without my parents’ permission.

• 2. I will tell my parents right away if I come across something that makes me

feel uncomfortable.

• 3. I will never agree to get together with someone I “meet” online without first

checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring a parent along.

• 4. I will talk with my parents about posting pictures of myself or others online

and not post any pictures that my parents consider to be inappropriate.

• 5. I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me

feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like that. If I do I will tell my parents right away.

my parents.

anything that could possibly hurt our computer or mobile device or jeopardize my family’s privacy.

against the law.

teach them things about the Internet, computers and other technology
