Just as you stay away from strangers on the street, be careful about strangers on the Internet.

Kids: Tell your parents if something that you come across online makes you feel uncomfortable.
Kids: Never agree to get together with someone you meet online without your parents permission.
Kids: Never respond to messages or bulletin board items that are suggestive, obscene, belligerent, threatening, or make you feel uncomfortable. Kids : Never send pictures of yourself or any other personal material to a friend you meet online without telling your parents first.
