Cyber Wellness Tips

Interested to know more about the Dangers Lurking around the internet?If you do let me tell you more about it!

When you are in MSN , remember to maintain a COOL identity.What is COOL?
Cannot reveal gender & age
Original
Out if this world
something that you Like

Now, allow me to explain further what is Public and Private information
Public Information:
It is okay for anyone to know such information about you. basically they are unable to contact you.
Private Information:
Never reveal information to online strangers which allow them to be able to find or contact you. Eg. Your address, handphone, pictures etc.

Remember: When a stranger ask you for some personal information which make you feel uneasy, you need not lie . You could practice Selective Disclosure information .

Example: If the stranger asked you whats your name and where you stay, you could tell him/her your Maple charactor and you could say "I live in Maple"
If he/she continue pressing you , immediately end the conversation or tell your parents.
Remember, information revealed online is Public not Private. It is freely accessible to anyone and it is beyond your control.
Keep it in MIND
