Sample Rules for Internet Use
 Remember never to give out personal information on the
Internet. Don't share your real name, phone number, address,
password, where you live, where you go to school, your baseball team or anything about your
family.- It's best not to talk to strangers -- just like when
you're at the park or in a store. Even if you meet another kid your
age, you really don't know if they "are" who they claim to be..
- Don't agree to meet anyone you've talked to online.
Tell your parents if an online friend wants to get together so your parents
know about it.
- If you fill out a personal profile that other kids can
read online, don't write anything that says too much about you. You
may think only your friends can see it, but strangers can find out about
you too.
- Don't write back to flames (people who use bad language
or want to get in an argument online.)
- Log off immediately if you see or read something that
upsets you . Tell your parents or a teacher if something like that
happens.
- Protect your password. No one should ever ask you
for it for any reason-- not even your friends.
- Don't buy or sign up for anything over the Internet without your
parent's approval. Don't give out any personal information like name,
address or phone number even if you think it's just so "a
company" can send you information or a really cool gift.
- Never send pictures over the Internet unless your parents
know about it.
- Ask your parent's permission to visit a Chat
Room. Make sure the people you are chatting with are truly people you
know.
- It's far better to be over-cautious!!
