Staying safe online is just as important as staying safe in real life! A few simple habits can help protect you and your information.
Staying safe online:
- โขUse strong passwords โ long, and never shared with anyone except a trusted adult
- โขProtect personal information โ don't share your address, school, or phone number with strangers
- โขOnly visit safe websites โ ones a trusted adult knows and approves of
- โขTalk to a trusted adult โ if something online feels confusing, scary, or wrong
- โขBe kind online โ treat others the way you'd want to be treated
๐ Example:A scam tries to trick you into giving away money or information. Phishing is a type of scam where a message pretends to be from someone you trust (like a game or a friend) to trick you into clicking a bad link or sharing a password.
โก Fun Fact:Trusted adults can help you tell the difference between a safe website and a risky one โ it's always okay to ask before you click!
๐ก Tip:Never download files, games, or apps without checking with a trusted adult first โ some downloads can carry harmful software.
