When you’re online, it’s really important to be careful about what personal information you share. This means things like your full name, address, phone number, or even where you go to school. Keeping this information private helps keep you safe.
If a friend shares something with you, like a funny story or a cool picture, make sure to ask them if it’s okay before you share it with others. It’s always polite to get their permission first. This shows respect for your friend’s privacy.
Before you post pictures of other people online, make sure to ask them if it’s okay. Show them the picture and ask if they are comfortable with it being shared. This way, everyone feels happy and respected.
If you don’t want to be tagged in a post or have your information shared, let your friends know. It’s important to communicate your preferences so everyone understands what makes you comfortable.
If someone shares something about you that you don’t like, talk to them privately. Instead of getting upset, calmly explain how it made you feel. This helps them understand and avoid making the same mistake again. It’s all about learning and growing together!
Remember, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. The key is to learn from them and keep a positive attitude. Smiling and being understanding can make these experiences better for everyone involved.
