1.  Be nice to people online.

2. Do not share personal information online.

3. Use strong passwords. 

4. Be careful with what you download.

5. Never meet anyone in person that you met online. 

6. If you see anything online that makes you upset, scared, or uncomfortable, tell an adult that you trust.
