If you are chatting to people by sending messages or on video when you are online, only chat to people who you know and trust in real-life like family and friends.
It is easy for people to pretend when they are online. They might not always be who they say they are, or say what they really mean.
Remember:
- If someone says something that makes you feel worried, scared or sad, tell an adult you trust.
- If someone you don’t know tries to chat to you online, tell an adult you trust.
- Sometimes people online can be unkind. If someone says something mean online or makes you feel sad, tell a grown up you trust.
- If someone says something which makes you feel worried, scared or sad, remember you don’t have to reply. Not replying and switching off your phone, tablet or game can help you feel better.
