Internet safety to me means knowing both the risks and the advantages of being on the internet. It is knowing what to put out there, for the public to read, and what to keep to yourself. Internet safety is when you are being smart about what you post.
 * 1. What is internet safety to you?**

Some of the dangers of going online include: -Information going public that you thought was private -False advertising -Data theft -Cyberbullying -Inappropriate content -Personal information being shared without permission
 * 2. What are some of the dangers of going online?**

To be safer online, you can avoid giving out any personal information, such as your full name, address or phone number, to people you don’t know in person. You also need to be aware that everything you post online can be seen by anyone, anywhere in the world. Make sure that anything you buy online is not a scam. Make sure you only buy things from trusted websites and be very careful when buying things from websites like Craigslist, when you don’t know the seller. Also, be sure to never arrange to meet face to face with someone that you have never met before, as they can be lying about their identity.
 * 3. What can you do to be more safe?**

Your parents and teachers can help you be safe online by constantly encouraging you to use internet safety. They can remind you about the dangers that revolve around the internet and suggest ways to be safer online. Teachers and parents can show you the proper way to stay safe online and make good decisions about what you put on the internet, and what you should keep to yourself.
