1. I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parents' work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parents' permission.

i.e. Giving out your information makes it easy for people to stalk you and cause harm to your family.

2. I will tell my parents or my teacher right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.

i.e. Some people should be arrested for the things they say and telling a parent can help you stop preditors

3.I will never agree to get together with someone I "meet" online without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring my mother or father along.

i.e. Meeting somone online can be dangerous because people can lie about things.

4. I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.

i.e. sending people you don't know pics of you makes it easier for them to recognize you if they want to stalk.

5. I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like that. If I do I will tell my parents right away so that they can contact the service provider.

i.e. information that makes me feel uncomfortable is probably wrong.

6. I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online, and appropriate areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without their permission.

i.e. Following parents' rules makes it so u can get more opportunities and maybe someday get those restrictions removed

7. I will not give out my Internet password to anyone (even my best friends) other than my parents.

i.e. Giving your passwords out makes it so people can hack you and get your information. Even your bff's because your bff's might not be your bff's tomarrow

8. I will be a good online citizen and not do anything that hurts other people or is against the law.

i.e. Being good online makes it so you can still use the internet.
