the Web it’s important to keep the
following in mind:

not private.
• People online are not always
who they say they are.
• Anyone can put information
online.
• You can’t trust everything you
read online.

9. Are you
addicted to the
Internet?
Look for symptoms
of Internet
dependency.
Ask yourself if
your Internet use is
affecting your
school
performance,
health, and
relationships with
family and friends.

10. Using Internet communication tools such as social
media, e-mail, and instant messaging can put you at
potential risk of encountering online predators.
Certain sites have been blocked by the district. Do not

Online predators try to gradually
seduce their targets through
attention, affection, kindness, and even
gifts, and often devote considerable
time, money, and energy to this effort.
