It is important to remember that people are often not who they say they are online. Although it is very difficult to know whether someone is an online predator, scammer or bully, there's one simple rule for making sure that friends on the Internet are NOT dangerous: do not talk to people online unless you've met them in person first! There have been many cases when an online ‘friend’ has said they are a fourteen year old boy or girl when in fact it is an adult man seeking vulnerable children. Never give away personal information, including your address, DOB, school and when you will and won’t be somewhere. Protect yourself by protecting your information.
