Trust Your Feelings
Sometimes people online may not be who they say they are. Some may try to trick kids into sharing private information like secrets, personal details, or pictures.They might try to gain your trust by being extra nice, giving compliments, or offering gifts, rewards, or free items. If something feels uncomfortable, confusing, or “not right,” it is important to listen to that feeling. This is not safe behavior. Stop talking to the person and tell a trusted adult right away.
