Netiquette

When using the Internet, remember the following things:

  • Never share your passwords with other people, not even your best friend.
  • Never reveal your surname, address, place of residence, e-mail address, phone number or the name of your school with strangers. 
  • Do not give pictures or private information about yourself or other people to strangers on the Internet.
  • Ask your parents for permission when signing up on different websites and gaming services.
  • Remember that no one can make you do anything online! If you do not feel comfortable, you can always leave.
  • Tell your parents or other adults if someone keeps sending you inappropriate messages or images online. 
  • Remember that the people who you meet online may not always be who they say they are. 
  • Never meet an online acquaintance in real life alone! 
  • Do not answer inappropriate or insulting messages from strangers.
  • Do not send inappropriate or insulting messages to others. Be respectful and take others into consideration.
