✓ The 10 Things I Will Do
1.
Keep my personal info secret. Real name, address, phone number, and school stay offline.
2.
Set my profiles to private. Only people I approve can see what I post.
3.
Only friend people I know in real life. Online-only "friends" are strangers.
4.
Tell my parents when something feels off. Even if I think I'll get in trouble.
5.
Check what apps want before I tap allow. A puzzle game doesn't need my camera.
6.
Trust my gut. If a message or invite feels weird, I stop and tell an adult.
7.
Check who an email is really from. Names lie. The address is the truth.
8.
Hover over links before I click. If the address looks weird, I don't click.
9.
Watch for typos and bad grammar. Real companies don't write "U have WON!!!"
10.
Look for the padlock 🔒 before I sign in. No padlock or "https" means no password.
✕ The 10 Things I Will Not Do
1.
Overshare. Even small details can add up to a stranger knowing too much.
2.
Meet someone in person from online. No matter how cool they seem.
3.
Send pictures I wouldn't want everyone to see. Once it's out, it's out forever.
4.
Open emails from people I don't know. Especially with attachments or links.
5.
Share my password with anyone. Not friends. Not "tech support." Only my parents.
6.
Do what online strangers tell me. Especially if they threaten me. I tell my parents.
7.
Stay silent about cyberbullying. Whether it's me or someone else, I tell an adult.
8.
Click ads or surprise pop-ups. "You won!" pop-ups are tricks.
9.
Hide problems out of fear. No screen time loss is worse than my safety.
10.
Use free movie, game, or music download sites. They almost always carry viruses.

I promise to follow these rules. If I ever break one — even by accident — I will tell my parents right away, no matter how scared or embarrassed I feel. My parents promise to listen, help me fix the problem, and keep me safe.
