  Never provide anyone online in a chat room, on a message board, in an e-mail or instant message notes with any information about you or your family that would allow that person to contact you offline.

 

  Your parents should know your password so they can get into your account if you need help. Otherwise, *no one* else should know your password.

 

  Never, ever agree to meet someone in person without talking to your parents. And let your parents get to know your online friends.

 

  Never respond to bad or threatening language. Instead, try to report it to your online service or Web site and always tell your parents or teacher immediately.

 

  Strange files, e-mails or Web addresses may contain hidden programs or a virus that could damage your computer or get access to your online account. If you receive anything like this you should simply delete them.

 

  If someone in a chat room is saying things that make you uncomfortable, leave immediately and tell your parents.
