5. Stranger Danger
Top 10 Things You Should Not Share on Social Networks

6. 09
Personal Conversations
Do not post personal messages on your wall or
someone else’s wall. If it isn’t something you
would share with a random stranger, don’t post
it.

7. 08
Social Plans
Sharing your social plans can make some of
your friends feel left out. If you’re going to share
your plans, make sure that it is something that
you’d feel comfortable inviting all of your
Facebook friends too.

8. 07
Linking Sites
Social networks allow you to link your profiles
between sites. For example, you can link your
Twitter and Facebook profiles together. Keep
this in mind every time you post. Everything you
post will be seen by your friends across all of
your linked profiles.

9. 06
Photos of Friends & Family
Sharing photos of your friends and family may
seem harmless, but they can provide quite a bit
of information about you and the people in the
photos. A picture is worth 1,000 words. If the
people in the photo are tagged, all of your
friends are now able to access the tagged
person’s profile (depending on their privacy
settings).

10. 05
Your Address & Phone Number
If your address is posted on your profile and
you make a post announcing that you are out of
town on vacation, you’re opening the door for a
burglar to invite themselves over. Posting your
phone number can be just as bad. It is not hard
to look up a name and address just from a
phone number.

11. 04
Financial Information
Simply mentioning what bank you or your
parents use can be enough for identity thieves
to use to steal your identity or commit credit
card fraud.

12. 03
Your Password
This one seems like a no brainer right? Imagine
you give your password to your brother or sister
or even your best friend. What happens when
this person is upset with you in the future? They
now have access to a lot of your personal
information.

13. 02
Your Password Hints & Questions
Having someone know the answers to your
password questions and hints is just as
dangerous as having someone know your
password. With just the answers to your
password recovery questions, someone can
sometimes access your account. Keep this in
mind when choosing which questions to use for
password recovery.

14. 01
Anything You Don’t Want Shared
Anything you share has the potential to be leaked in
some way. Apps within Facebook are given access to
a lot of your personal information. That can be just
as bad as giving a stranger your password. When in
doubt, don’t share it. Remember, once you post
something, it could be there forever. You can’t
always take it back.

15. Online Etiquette
Cyber Etiquette Tips for Teens

16. 07
Cyber Fingerprints
Remember everything you post online is
traceable even after you delete it. Think before
you post.

17. 06
DON’T USE ALL CAPS
Using all caps is a form of internet shouting and can
be rude to the person reading your post.

18. 05
Don’t Post While Angry
It is easy to get angry and want to run straight to
Facebook to make a post about what just
happened to you. Unfortunately, it’s a very bad
idea. What you post stays there forever. Give
yourself some time to calm down before
expressing your feelings in a permanent form
online.

19. 04
Use Different Usernames &
Passwords
It’s not a good idea to use the same username
and password for multiple websites. If someone
figures out one username and password, they
know them all and can access all of your
accounts.

20. 03
Don’t Use Silly Email Address
You’ll want to continue using the same email
address for a long time (if not forever). Make
sure your email address is something that you’ll
be comfortable sharing with someone years
from now. Having to change your email address
in the future can be a challenging process.

21. 02
Think Before You Share Photos
Before you post a photo of your friends, stop
and consider if you think their parents would be
OK with the picture. If they wouldn’t be OK with
it or if you’re not sure, don’t post it.

22. 01
Use the Golden Rule
If you wouldn’t say something to someone’s
face and in front of the whole school and your
family, don’t say it online either.
