Jessica **INTERNET SAFETY ** **Online Safety Tips**: 3-5 year olds - only go on websites with kid friendly content that your parents said was okay and never click on flashing lights and colors that you may see. 6 - 12 years - be careful when using websites with chat rooms such as Club Penguin and WebKinz. Teens - protect yourself and your information by using the privacy and security settings on Facebook and other social networks. 20 somethings - Facebook safety rules apply to you too even though you are older and no whats right and wrong. 50 years - <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">While on the internet talking to your grandchildren or children be careful of pop ups. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"><span style="color: #800080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">70 years - <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Make sure everything you click on is appropiate and relates to what you searched for.

<span style="color: #8064a2; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 180%;">**Phishing** <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 15.99px;">What is phishing? Phishing is when people trick you into giving them your personal information. If you get an email that has misspelled words and/or has weird links in it then it is most likely someone trying to get you to send them your personal information. Just delete the email and tell an adult if it happens often so they can make sure your junk email and privacy settings are set up.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 180%;">** Identity Theft and Bank Account Information ** <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 15.99px;">Whether you earned your money by babysitting or received some for your birthday it is still your money and should remain yours. That is why it is very important that you don’t give out your social security number and credit card numbers on random sites on the internet. Someone can steal your identity and pretend to be you. They can buy expensive clothes, electronics, and anything else they want using your credit card. media type="youtube" key="KERwnA8VfFM?rel=0" height="224" width="364" align="center"

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 180%;">**Instant Messaging** <span style="color: #800080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 15.99px;">Instant messaging can be extremely dangerous! Even though a person says they are themselves it really could be someone else pretending to be them. You could be talking to a stranger! The stranger can find out personal information about you and share it with others without you even knowing. You have to be careful about what you tell people.

<span style="color: #4bacc6; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 180%;">**Social Networking** <span style="color: #008080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 15.99px;">Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter are the most popular social networking sites. These websites all have privacy and security settings. It is very important to choose the right privacy setting ask an adult which one is best for you. For Facebook make sure you only accept friend requests from people you know.

<span style="color: #a50021; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 180%;">**Scams** <span style="color: #800080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Have you ever seen those pop ups that say “you are the 1,000 person to visit this website today you just won a free iPad!” Well this is a scam. If you get a suspicious email with a weird link on it delete it immediately! Also, go to your internet browser settings and block pop ups.



**Passwords** **﻿** <span style="color: #972525; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 15.99px;">The most important thing about internet safety! Passwords prevent others from seeing all your personal information and activity on certain websites. Never share any of your passwords with anyone even if it’s only just so they can post a picture or something. Also, change your passwords frequently to prevent being hacked.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 180%;">** Cyberbulling ** <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">**﻿** <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">When someone says something offensive and mean to someone on the internet it is called cyberbulling. It can be anonymous or not. Remember, even if it gets deleted it will be on the internet forever. Cyberbulling is wrong and leads to depression and even suicide. <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 180%;">**﻿** <span style="color: #32ba31; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 15.99px;"> <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 180%;">**Sexual Predators** <span style="color: #659f9f; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Be very careful who you are talking to on the internet. Never talk to strangers even if they say that they are your age or have things in common with you. media type="youtube" key="xZHq4CQekTY?rel=0" height="315" width="420" align="right"

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 180%;">** Sexting ** <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">**﻿** <span style="color: #32ba31; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 15.99px;">Sexting is when you send nude pictures of yourself to someone else. Most people do it to get attention from guys/girls. Even if the person says they won’t show it to anyone it usually always does in the end. If you ever get into a situation where someone asks you to send them nude pictures of yourself don’t ever hesitate to say no way and tell and adult if it gets to be harassment.
