Here are some tips for teens to stay safe on social networking websites:
- Do not join all the available social networking sites .It is better to choose only one site after analyzing the nature of operation of different sites. It is not good to choose sites keeping no restrictions to view your postings.
- Study the privacy and security settings very well before you join a site.
- Always have control over the posted information.
- It is always good for you to limit the access to people you know well. ‘Friends’ friends’ may not be good friends for you.
- Never post too personal information of either you or your friends, especially address and phone number.
- It is better to avoid posting information which can be used to trace you out.
- Think many times before posting something because information on net can be twisted in many ways.
- Seek the permission of your parents or elders before posting your photographs. Photos can be changed in different ways in net.
- Avoid chatting with strangers. They can cheat you by providing you with false information.
- In case an online friend wants to meet you, it is a must that you go with somebody you can trust with and make it happen only in public places.
- If someone tries to harass you on social network sites remove the person from your friends’ list and block him/her forever. You can also complain about the person to the site administrator.
