Internet Safety: Rules for Kids


This article is about how kids should learn how to use internet in safety way and beware of their action. So as parents we should teach them to understand of their actions and prepare them just like by naming a user name “FatGreenWizard” which it is a cute for grade 5 but I don’t think it will be suit for first job interview. Second is about how we should help them about thinking before posting a picture, like if it is private or not, if it is private then the result might come back and bite them after. So here are the safe rules for kids: 

No. 1 Guard you privacy meaning it is up to you on what you want people to know other you. 
No. 2 Protect your reputation meaning think clearly before you do anything in online it might come back and cost you a lot of trouble tomorrow. 
 No. 3 Nothing is private online meaning people can see whatever you say, do and post in online so beware of your action.
No. 4 Assume everyone is watching nearly same as rule number 3 even they are friend or not, they still can see everything.  
No. 5 Apply the Golden rule meaning if you don’t want all this to happen to you, don’t go and do it on other. No. 6 Choose wisely meaning if you went to web sites beware again because not all sites are appropriate. 
NO. 7 Don’t hide meaning by to use username as anonymous doesn’t mean it could help turn to someone who is trustworthy or responsible.
 No. 8 Think about what you see meaning because not all things in online are real. 
And last no. 9 Be smart meaning be careful just in case someone try to trick on online.

Is this useful or not? Well to me some points are useful to me but some also are the most common things we should know later like number 5,3,7, and 9 but then again this is a list for kids who just newly know about the online world. I think number 8 have the most relate to me because as you know I like to read or listen to Creeypasta which they are stories that are legends or in other word scary mystery stories and I can’t tell which are real or fake, I know most of them are fake but then again about some of the stories can be real even if they are just 30 out of millions.
