MySpace Visual Quick Tips
004.678 MCFE
Don't give out personally
identifying information such as your address, phone number,
or school.
Everything you put online CAN be shared with millions of total
strangers (or even with your parents!). There ARE bad people out
there, so don't share private info that makes you easily
identifiable to strangers.
Consider setting your page to "private," and use the setting
that allows you to approve comments before they are posted. The
pictures and comments you post today immediately become public
information, and may be out of your control forever. Yep,
forever.
If you come across information or pictures that
make you upset or uncomfortable, close or get away from that web
page immediately.
Talk to your parents about MySpace. Help them
understand it so they will know they can trust you to make smart
decisions.
Don't believe everything you see or read. People
online may not be who they say they are.
Never agree to meet someone in person that you
first "met" online without getting permission from your
parents first.
IF you do plan to meet someone, make sure it is
in a public place, and bring a parent or other trusted adult
along! If things don't go as you expected, you don't want to
wind up dealing with some creepy or weird person all by
yourself.
Have fun, but be smart
and careful - stay
safe!! |
