5. • Do unto others – “Please” and “Thank You” do go a long way. If you
want to be respected you have to respect others.
• Be nice – Remember, what you do on the internet is a reflection of
you and quite possibly your business. Be positive and encouraging.
• Don’t be too quick to judge – remember the saying: “Don’t judge a
book by its cover”? It is still true today. When meeting individuals
online, you should start a conversation, get to know them a bit
before you judge who or what they are.
• Be respectful – Just because you are “hiding” behind a computer
doesn’t give you free reign to act as you please. You still need to
treat people properly.

6. The main problem of social media is cyberbullying.
Sending anonymous hate on a social media site.
Impersonating someone.
Making hate accounts.
Sending an inappropriate pictures.
Exposing too much information.

7. o On ask.fm someone is anonymously sending my friend mean
and hurtful questions. She doesn’t know what to do about it
and you feel bad for her because the questions are making her
insecure. What should she do about it?
She could turn on the setting that only allows ask.fm users to ask
you questions. This will then stop the anonymous person from
sending you hate questions. If the person creates an account just
to send you hateful questions you can block them.

8. o Your friend isn’t the type of person that uses social media. One day you
get a follow request on Instagram from an account with the same first
and last name as her. You accept the follow request thinking that it’s
her. You follow the account back and look at the pictures she has
posted. The next day you congratulate her for finally making an
Instagram account and she is very confused. She tells you that she
didn’t make an account. You both come to the conclusion that
someone is impersonating her. What should you do?
You should screenshot the account and the pictures the has account
posted. The first thing that she could do is tell her parents about this
situation she is in. After that she should contact the Toronto police (416-
808-2222) with the extension of a community safety command officer
(#5253) and tell then about your situation and use the screenshots as
evidence. The police will probably then contact Instagram and ask them
to find the user and shut down the account. If you don’t want to go
through the police you can just contact Instagram
(https://help.instagram.com/) and go under “privacy and safety center”
then under “report something”. Then click the heading “impersonation

9. o Someone is creating a hate page on Facebook about several
students at your school including yourself. You would like he
page to be deleted. What do you do?
You should first tell your parents and teachers about the page
that is on Facebook. You should then screenshot the hate posts
that this account is posting for evidence. Then contact Facebook
using the number (650-543-4800) and tell them about the
situation you are in. Facebook will then delete the account. If you
want you could contact the police with the number stated in the
previous slide. The police could then contact Facebook and
delete the account.

10. o Someone took an embarrassing picture of you and sent it to
people at your school. People are then passing it on to other
people and you would like this chain to stop. What should you
do?
You should first screenshot the message and the picture that the
person sent you. You would then politely confront the person
that first sent the picture and ask them to stop sending it. If the
situation continues and gets out of hand you would then tell your
teacher or guidance counsellor and they can help you deal with
it.

11. oYou’re signing up for a new social media site that you
really want. In order to create the account you have to fill
in certain information and there are also spaces available
for optional information. Some of the required information
is email, first and last name, and gender etc. The optional
information is asking personal questions like; your
address, phone number, and school. You need to decide
what information to include. What should you do?
If I was signing up for a website and they asked me for
optional information like my school and phone number etc. I
would first tell my parents about the website I am signing up
for and get their approval. I would then only fill in the
required information and leave the optional information
blank.
