Share your experiences on the internet with your parents and friends. Not just bad stuff, but the good things too. Your parents will feel a lot more relaxed if you tell them what you're up to. If you don't feel comfortable telling your parents, tell another trusted adult - your aunt, your teacher, your mate's mum etc.

Open Up...

• Your parents will be interested in your online friends just like your school friends - let them know who you're talking to.
• If someone wants to meet up, tell an adult.
• Tell a trusted adult about anything bad that happens to you online.
• Never arrange to meet up alone with anyone you've met on the net.
• If you are going to, take an adult you trust and meet in a public place.
