This essay is on my opinion about internet safety. I think that the internet can be very un-safe if you use it in the wrong way. That’s why I’m going to give tips on keeping safe.
Giving out your private password to anyone, even your best friend, is a very bad thing. It can be seen by other people when your typing or writing it to them and it can be heard when you whisper without you realizing. Also you shouldn’t give out your personal information, like your telephone number, address or where you go to school, because someone else could be using the computer at the same time. On your account you shouldn’t put up photos of yourself, relatives or of your home.
To keep real safe on the Internet, you shouldn’t go into chat rooms. Sometimes, this is where your problems begin. If you do go into chat rooms, stay away from weird people or people that cause trouble. If they ask you to meet them or ask for personal information, log off and notify your parents.
If you ever come across information that you don’t feel comfortable with, go to your parents and tell them everything that made you feel uncomfortable. Never respond to the person who is making you uncomfortable. Then log off the computer instantly. Also, if someone sends you an e-mail that is from someone you don’t know, immediately delete it. It may contain viruses.
When you are instant messaging someone or e-mailing someone, nothing is private. That means that you have to make sure that you never give your friend some information that you don’t want anyone else to have.
When soothing you don’t know about ask your parents for assistance and just log off if you are not quite sure of what to do.
Talk with your parents and set up rules for using the Internet. The time of day, the length of time and the right sites you can visit. Once these rules are prepared done, you should never break them without parent or guardian permission. You should never access things you’re not allowed.
I hope that this will help you in the future to be safe on the internet.
This is well written and you give out some very good tips on keeping yourself safe on the internet.
