Internet Awareness and Safety

The Internet can be an amazing place. It allows you to learn, connect with people, discover new things, and be entertained. The Internet can also be a dangerous place if you are not careful and aware of things that could be harmful like:

  • bullying
  • sharing information you shouldn’t share
  • behaving in ways you wouldn’t normally behave if you were face-to-face with someone
  • viewing or sharing inappropriate or illegal content

Sextortion is a kind of blackmail used when someone threatens to send a sexual image or video of you to other people if you don’t pay them or provide more sexual content. For more information and getting help for sextortion, click here.

It is important to consider who you are and how you behave offline. Does this match with how you behave online? If not, why?

Social media often shows the best of a person’s life. For example, how much money they have, how beautiful they are, and how many places they have travelled to. You only see what someone wants to show you. Perfection, like you might see on social media and the Internet, doesn’t exist in the real world.
