  • Realise - Realise people you chat with may not be who they say they are.
  • Refuse - Refuse requests for personal information and ensure your internet profile is private.
  • Review - Review your contacts. It's not "kewl" to have contacts you don't know.
  • Respond - Respond quickly if you ever feel uncomfortable while on-line. Close the program, tell your parents or a trusted friend.
  • Report - Report any suspicious or dangerous on-line contact to the police
