Personal Information

When students are contributing to online blogs, chatting,  or posting on social networking sites, they often give away important personal information.   While there are specific instances where it’s ok to release personal information (example:  your school may have parental approval to use your written work or post your pictures online), for the most part, students should should not release or share personal information online.  Here is a list of of items to keep private:

  1. Real name:  Create an alias.

  2. Address:  Do not give out your address, your isp automatically gives out your state and region.

  3. Age:  There few reasons to give your real age online.

  4. Sex Male or Female:  There are few  reasons to put your gender online.

  5. Phone Number:  Never give out your phone number online, if a stranger has your phone number, they can easily look up your address.

  6. Pictures of you or your friends.

  7. Email Address:  Avoid email addresses that  indicate your sex, age, name, or favorite sport like jonbball12@vtisp.org.

  8. Places that you or your parents work.

  • It think personal information is very important to keep to urself because other people can look u up and fing where u live and could do terrible things to u. Some people out there are very, very, very creepy. They could find out everything about u and could write stuff about u on the internet that everyone can see and more people could be creepy people and then u would be in T-R-O-U-B-L-E-!

    People should never give out personal information cuz if they do it can leed to lots of trouble. If you give out your name to anyone they can look you up on google and they can find out where you live. If you are going to give out your age you should always give out your real name so that person would no if you are to young or old you are if they want to date you if it matters to them. You should never give out your address or phone number cuz they can stalk you or other things so you should never give out any personal things cuz it can cause lots of damge and trouble.

    There are some things that are on there twice. Also you dont wont to give out when you will be home alone because people could go and take that. Then they could go to your house and do bad things like kidnap you. that is another thing you could put on this.
