Many children use the Internet to get useful knowledge (知识) and information, and to relax in their free time. But some of them are not using it in a good way. Here are some rules to make sure you are safe and have fun on the Internet.
◆Make rules for Internet use with your parents. For example, when you can go online, for how long and what activities you can do online.
◆Don't give your password (密码) to anyone else, and never give out the following information: your real name, home address, age, school, phone number or other personal information.
◆Check with your parents before giving out a credit (信用) card number.
◆Never send a photo of yourself to someone in e-mail unless (除非) your parents say it's OK.
◆Check with your parents before going into a chat (聊天) room. Different chat rooms have different rules and attract different kinds of people. You and your parents will want to make sure it's a right place for you.
◆Never agree to meet someone you met on the Internet without your parent's permission (允许). Never meet anyone you met online alone.
◆Always remember that people online may not be who they say they are. Treat (视为) everyone online as if they were strangers.
◆If something you see or read online makes you uncomfortable (不舒服), leave the site. Tell a parent or teacher right away.
◆Treat other people as you'd like to be treated. Never use bad language.
◆Remember—not everything you read on the Internet is true.
