Computers can help you learn for a bright future. The Internet, electronic mail, and the World Wide Web can be fun and educational. But you may stumble upon materials that disturb you or even find yourself in an unsafe situation. The following guidelines are intended to help you use the Internet safely. Never arrange to meet anyone in person you've meet over the Internet unless accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult.
People sometimes misrepresent themselves.
If you see something online that is scary, talk about it with an adult you trust. Just because you saw something in an e-mail message or a Web page doesn't mean it's true. Information on the Internet can be incorrect, misleading, or inappropriate. Check more than one source. Use common sense.
