There are some really cool things on the internet but some bad stuff too. Be SMART online - remember these SAFETY TIPS to have a fun time on the funky friends message board and on all websites.

S	SECRET - Always keep your personal details private. These include your name, address, mobile phone number, the name of your school and your password - it's like giving out the keys to your home! Only give out your email address to family and friends approved by your parents / carers.
M	MEETING someone you have contacted on the internet can be dangerous. Only do so with your parent's/carer's permission, and then when they can be present
A	ACCEPTING emails or opening files from people you don't really know or trust can get you into trouble - they may contain computer viruses or nasty messages.
R	REMEMBER someone online may be lying and not be who they say they are. If someone says something that makes you uncomfortable simply stop responding to their messages.
T	TELL your parent or carer if someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried and remember you can report bad messages to funkyfriends.com.
Thanks to our friends at Childnet.org for their help with this.
