Tips to Keep Safe from Cyber Bullying and Other Online Threats
Think before you post. Many people can feel upset about something you might find funny. Try to consider every view possible before posting something potentially upsetting. Also when you post something it can never be deleted, make sure it is not something you would not want your parents, teachers and future employees seeing. When you post something you lose control of it, especially if somebody screenshots something or shares it.
Don’t share personal details. This is a much repeated point but that is because it is so important. People can do a lot to you if they know your email, postcode, address, full name, school and date of birth and other things. It is also a good idea to check what people can see in your privacy settings.
Watch out for suspicious emails and messages. They could contain a virus or provide ways for hackers to enter your account.
