12	Cyber Bullying Students are also responsible for inappropriate material found or communicated over the Internet. Students bully through: Personal WebPages E-mail and Instant Messaging Blogs
13	Cyber Bullying Tips: Guard your contact information. Don’t send a message when you are angry. If you are being harassed, do not reply. Log out. Immediately tell an adult you trust. Save harassing messages and forward them to your ISP.
14	Cyber Bullying Tips If the bullying includes physical threats, notify police. Do not tamper with anything that may serve as evidence in a police report. Leave the computer as is, and do not shut it down. This will maintain the integrity of the message, time/date stamps, etc. There is “veil of silence” around bullying. Students must understand the importance of speaking out when they see danger about to happen. They have a responsibility to each other and to themselves to take action.
15	Internet Predators While on the Internet, you may be putting yourself at risk. Screen names, profiles, and the personal information that you let slip during chats and messaging can reveal more that you think!
16	Safety Tips Some people ask seemingly harmless, innocent questions. The answers, in combination, can reveal your identity. Indirect questions may include the weather, sport participation, school mascots, and colors, local events, etc. Do not send your picture to people you do not know. A picture is worth a thousand words. Your new cyber friend now knows exactly what you look like.
17	Safety Tips It is impossible to gauge a person’s sincerity by the sound of their voice or appearance—it’s easy to be lulled into a false sense of security. Just because he sounds or looks like such a nice guy, doesn’t mean he is. Avoid calling. Caller ID will provide the number and Google your name, address and a map to your house. Webcam images can be prerecorded. Also, what you see may not be what you get; a stand-in can be used as bait.
