• Never give out personal information, such as your name, home address, phone number, the name of your school, pictures, credit card numbers, or the names of your parents without permission from your parents.
  
• Never meet in person with someone you met online.
  
• Never give out your password to anyone.
  
• Use a gender neutral username in chat rooms so you are less likely to receive pornographic material or other forms of harassment. If you do receive pornographic material, report it to your local police department.
