Cyber Wellness Tips
- Do not reveal your gender and age or any personal information to the other party. etc. (address, contact number, which school you go to, what you like/dislike.)
- Never add anyone you don't know. Don't accept strangers request.
- Always remember not to open or click any links sent to you by emails or instant messages, as it may contain viruses .
- Do not meet up with internet friends in a quiet place where not really many people will walk pass. Always go to a crowded place to meet up if the internet friend still insist on meeting up with you. Or you can ask you parent(s) along.
- Never give out or use your real name when creating an account. When creating an account, always use a nickname. For example, if you're called "Tammy" do not put your name as "Tammy". You can put your name as "Candy" if you like sweets.
- Never give out your password for any online account to anyone as no one can be trusted online. Do not trust anyone even if you think that they can be trusted.
- Do not chat with anyone you don't know online as she/he may bring you harm.
So always remember to be careful when you are online and always to keep a low profile about yourself! :) Bye!!!
