ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English What Is Netiquette? ???? Internet Behavior Rules for Kids ???? Episode 2
Welcome to Smile and Learn! Have you ever wondered how to behave when you’re chatting with friends online? Today, we’re going to learn about something called netiquette, which is like a set of rules for being nice and respectful on the internet. Let’s dive in and find out more!
Netiquette is a fancy word for internet etiquette. It’s all about being polite and respectful when you’re online. Following netiquette helps keep you and your friends safe and happy while using the internet. It also helps stop cyberbullying, which is when someone is mean to others online.
Here are some important rules to follow when you’re online:
Never share your personal information, like your address or phone number, with people you don’t know. If someone you don’t recognize sends you a friend request on social media, it’s best not to accept it. Sometimes, people pretend to be someone else online, so it’s safer to only talk to people you know in real life.
If a friend tells you a secret, don’t share it online without asking them first. Your friend trusts you, and it might hurt their feelings if you tell others without permission.
Before you post pictures of your friends online, make sure to ask them if it’s okay. They might not want their picture shared, and it’s important to respect their wishes.
If you don’t want to be tagged in a post or have your information shared, let your friends know. If someone does something you don’t like, talk to them privately and calmly explain how you feel. This helps them understand and avoid doing it again.
It’s important to know the difference between real-life friends and online friends. Real-life friends are people you know personally, like classmates or friends from activities. You can talk to them face-to-face and share your thoughts.
Online friends are people you meet on the internet. They might become real-life friends someday, but be careful because they could also be pretending to be someone else. Always be cautious and never share private information with them. If you’re unsure about someone, ask an adult for help.
Thanks to netiquette, you can enjoy the internet safely and respectfully. Remember these rules, and you’ll have a great time online!

Welcome to Smile and Learn!
What are you doing on the phone?
I’m communicating with my classmates.
I’m very happy because we understand netiquette, which allows us to communicate online without any issues.
That’s correct! The other day, you explained the basic rules to me. Are there more?
Of course! There are additional rules that specifically help us communicate with others online. Stick around, and I’ll share them with you.

First, let’s remember what netiquette is. Netiquette is a set of guidelines that promotes politeness and respect on the internet. It is very useful and helps protect our privacy and that of our friends online. It also aids in preventing cyberbullying, which involves situations where we can harm others.
Now, I will share some netiquette rules.

We should not share personal information with people we do not know. If we receive friend requests from unfamiliar individuals on social media, it is best not to accept them. When someone creates a social media profile, they may provide false information, such as their age, or use someone else’s pictures. Since we cannot be certain of the identity of the people we are interacting with, it is advisable to engage only with friends we genuinely know.
You already understand the importance of not sharing personal information online, but you should also refrain from posting things that your friends have confided in you without first asking for their permission. Your friend has trusted you, and it could upset them if their secrets are revealed.

Additionally, you should not upload pictures of other people without their consent. It is important to show them the pictures first and ask if they would like to share them online.

Remember that everyone should follow netiquette. If you do not want to be tagged in a post or have your information shared without your permission, you should communicate this to your friends. If someone makes a mistake or does something you dislike, address it privately. Calmly explain how you feel so that they can avoid repeating the behavior in the future.
Lastly, it is essential to distinguish between our real-life friends and our virtual friends to understand how to interact with each group. A real-life friend is someone you know personally, such as your classmates or friends from after-school activities. You can also communicate with your online friends face-to-face; they are individuals with whom you can share your interests and thoughts.

However, if you only know someone virtually, they could potentially become a real-life friend, but it is crucial to be aware that they might also be trying to deceive you. Therefore, we must exercise caution when communicating with them. For instance, if you make virtual friends while playing video games, never share private information and avoid conversing with them outside of the game. If you ever have doubts about the identity of the person you are speaking with, ask an adult for assistance in verifying their identity.
Great! Thanks to netiquette, I will know how to behave when using the internet.
I’m glad you feel that way. See you soon!
