Being online is a great way to share information and connect
with friends, but it's important to remember that the
things we post online can affect
people in the real world.
Before you post anything online, ask
yourself a few questions.
How would you feel if your family, your teachers, your
coaches, or your neighbors found it?
Even if you turn on privacy settings, it's impossible to
completely control who sees what you post or when.
Do you want a message or photo you posted to show up years
from now, when you apply for college, or a job?
Once you post information online, you
can't take it back.
Even if you delete it, it can still live somewhere else.
While a video or picture may be funny to you, it may be
embarrassing or hurtful for someone else.
Being online is part of your life, so stop and
think before you click.
