For more, check out the video! Youth Being connected to your friends, family and everyone else online can be awesome and become a huge part of our day to day lives. But it’s important to remember that nothing we do online is totally private- that includes emails, text messages and even the apps we use on your own phones. Don’t worry, you’re in control of how much or how little you want to share with your friends, your networks and the world. As long as you know how to use social media and the internet safely, you can protect yourself. Make sure you know how to set your privacy setting, use hashtags and protect your passwords in a way that help you share only what you want to, with who you want to. FAQs How can I make my phone safe? Just like you put a case on your phone to protect it on the outside, you can protect your apps and personal info on the inside. If you’re not sure what info your apps have access to, you can review app permissions through your phone’s privacy settings. In your settings, you can also make sure location settings are off and that your phone isn’t regularly charging your or your parent’s credit card or posting on your social networks. Ask an older person if you need help with any of this. Make sure to only interact with people that you know online. Be suspicious of usernames you don’t know and if strangers try to contact you be aware they may not be who they say who they are. Never share personal details or photos with anyone you don’t know and if anyone asks you for these things make sure to let your parent, guardian or another trusted adult know. What is cyberbullying? Cyberbullying refers to cruel or bullying messages sent online. These might be from former friends, people you go to school with or other people you know. Sometimes it’s hard to know where it’s coming from or who’s doing it because of screen names, but if someone is sending you mean messages online, don’t be afraid to ask for help. If I think I’m experiencing cyberbullying, what can I do? It’s often recommended that you ignore bullying messages instead of responding to them, but we know that’s tough. Instead, you could try to delete or block bullies, so you don’t see their messages or texts. Ignoring cyberbullying isn’t your only option, and you definitely don’t have to face it alone. It’s a good idea to get help from a parent, school counselor or another trusted adult. That’s especially true if the cyberbullying contains threats. Serious threats may need to be investigated by your school or even the local authorities. Related Videos Wise on the Web What Is Bullying?
