Safety on the Internet
Make a class list of things we use passwords for:
E-mail, Instant Messenger, web sites, bank accounts. Why do you think the girl in the story gave her password to her best friend? Was it a good reason? What types of things can happen to her now that her password is out?
Her E-mail can be tampered with; people can assume her identity online; her bank or shopping accounts can be tampered with.
What should the girl do right away? Change her password; tell her parents or guardian; contact her bank.

Tips
Even though it might seem like you know someone well online, you have no way of knowing whether the person is telling the truth. This is why you must not give personal information even to someone you have communicated with online for a long time.
As a class answer the following Questions:
1. If you come across any information that makes you feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused, you will?
2. If someone online asks you for a picture of yourself, you will?
3. If someone you first “met” online asks you to meet him or her in person, you will?
4. If someone online asks you for my personal information, you will?
5. If you see any messages that are mean or make you feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused, you will?
6. If you receive a file over the Internet from someone you don’t know, you will?
