Ask for a family meeting to set guidelines for computer and internet use. When can you use it and for how long? Other than to your parents never give out your password(s) - even to your best friends. Be a netizen = a good online citizen. Do not do anything that is not allowed or to hurt others. Do not do anything that your parents have to pay for unless your parents give you permission. If you do not recognize or trust an e-mail, attachment, file, or web page don’t open it. Keep in mind that people on the net may not be who they say they are.
