Staying Safe
It's important to remember that you are in control of your own privacy.
(1) It's important to remember that you are in control of your own privacy. Keep your privacy settings high and think before you post anything.
Avoid sharing personal information and passwords with anyone you talk to online. Even if they seem to have a compelling reason why you should, don’t do it!
For example, someone might ask for your account password on a game you both play and claim it’s because they want to change your settings to improve your game play. However, giving them your password puts your personal information at risk.
Never send money to people you meet online either.
(2) It's important to be safe when you're meeting up with people you meet online.
That's why, if you decide to meet the person after getting to know them online and on voice chat, make sure that you tell someone about it. Tell them where you will be, who the person is, and when you will be back.
Some other strategies for keeping safe include:
Planning to meet up in a public place with lots of people around.
Taking a friend or family member with you the first time you meet someone.
Arranging to call a friend or family member once you are safely back home.

(3) We know, we know—it's hard to say no to a nice person. But if you're meeting someone online and they offer you food or drink, it's important to be extra careful.
It's common for s*xual predators to try to get their victims drunk so they can take advantage of them. If you meet someone online and they offer you alc*hol or a drink, don't take it. It's too risky!
If this person is kind enough to offer you food or drink, politely decline and ask if there are any other options available instead. For example: "I'm so sorry! I'm not here for long and would love something else."
(4) If you see something that upsets you, talk to someone about it.
If someone sends you a message that upsets you, close it right away and talk to someone about it. Don’t keep it a secret or try to brush it off. For your safety and well-being, it’s important to let someone know what happened. Also, avoid talking with the person who sent you the message any more after that.
