Be kind online: before you say what’s on your mind ask yourself is it kind?
Look out for your friends: if you see something mean online then report it,block the person and tell a parent or another trusted adult.
Respect each other’s differences online: we're not all the same, and that's what makes us great!
Play your part: help make the internet a kind place for everyone! What can you do?
