Hello
If you’re between 11 and 16, you probably know a lot about using the internet.
We’ve created this space for you to share what we think is good, look at what’s not, share experiences of things that have gone wrong and show you ways you can get yourself out of bad situations.
We like to keep things easy, so you’ll see we’ve split different things you can do into sections. You can also watch films here, play games and report if you think someone online is being weird sexually with you.
If you know something we don’t, or you want to get involved in making our stuff, join our panel here or take a minute to fill in our polls. It’s all about you.
We have recently developed a video to raise awareness and promote a safer use of the Internet amongst young people. We want to hear your views of this clip and the issues it covers.
If you have not watched the video yet, please follow this link

It's not a good idea to open files that are from people you don't know. You won't know what they contain – it could be a virus, or worse – an inappropriate image or film
THINK U KNOW...
It's easier to get on with people online and say stuff you wouldn't offline
THINK U KNOW...
Some people lie online
THINK U KNOW...
It's never too late to tell someone if something makes you feel uncomfortable
THINK U KNOW...
It's better to keep online mates online. Don't meet up with any strangers without an adult you trust. Better to be uncool than unsafe!
