Journal - What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety.
I think the importance of online safety is just for you to be safe and so that nothing bad or dangerous happens to you because of something that could have been easily preventable. While online to protect yourself just don't share too much information or anything important online. People online can see what you post and anything that you post will never fully be erased, it can somehow always be recovered so you have to be really careful as to what you put up many social media or anything on the internet in general. Everything that you post is visible to everybody in some way. If you put on personal information people that weren't supposed to see it can easily see it and there are online and internet predators out there that are just looking to harm others. Just don't post anything that you wouldn't want your parents or the whole entire world or police to see. Don't share personal information especially stuff about where you live, where you go to school, where you work, your routine after school or your routine in general. People also pretend to be people that they are not and they try to trick you and convince you and that is how people end up getting their identities stolen and bad things happening to them.
When I lived in Washington my dad co workers and me were very close. One of his closest co workers had a friend and her daughter had been sharing stuff online and like online chatting with this guy for a while. He convinced her that he liked her and he pretended to be somebody that he really wasn't and he got her address and personal information and he came to her one night but he wasn't who she expected. I don't remember what ended up happening because this story was from a while ago but I think the daughter ended up safe.
