1. As I travel through “Cyberspace,” information I should never give out to someone I meet online is

a. the names of my favorite books and movies.
b. my real name, address, telephone number, the school I attend, or my photograph.
c. the name of my pet.
ANSWER: B. I should always remember never to give out personal information in E-mails or to web sites, even if they're offering free merchandise, without checking with my parents first. I should also let my parents know about anything unusual or inappropriate that I discover while I'm online.
2. If someone sends me an inappropriate message/material, I should
a. never reply to these messages and tell my parents, so that they can notify our online service provider.
b. keep it a secret.
c. reply to the message and ask the sender to stop sending me messages.
ANSWER: A. I need to let my parents know right away if I get messages that make me feel frightened or confused, so that they can let our online service provider know. I will not respond to these messages, and it isn't my fault if I get a message like that.
3. If someone I meet online asks me to keep a secret from my parents I should
a. keep the secret because they are my “cyber friend.”
b. tell all of my friends, because it's hard for me to keep a secret.
c. tell my parents, because no one should ever ask me to keep secrets from my parents.
ANSWER: C. No one I meet online should ask me to keep secrets or do things that I wouldn't ordinarily do. It's easy to be anonymous online, and that's why I need to let my parents know who my “cyber friends” are.
4. If someone is on my E-mail “buddy list,” “friend list,” or “contact list” and I only know that person online, he or she is
a. my friend and someone I can trust.
b. the person he or she claims to be.
c. someone I should be cautious about, because I don't know him or her well.
ANSWER: C. Just because people say they're my buddy, doesn't mean that they are. I should also be careful not to use screen names that give out personal information about me, because that may make it easier for someone to pretend to be my friend.
5. As I travel through “Cyberspace,” I should never
a. take a break and have a snack.
b. use the Internet to help me with my homework.
c. agree to meet someone in person who I have met online.
ANSWER: C. I should always tell my parents if anything bothers me about someone I meet online or if someone is asking for information about me. I should let my parents know if I am confused about how the information is going to be used, so that they can contact our online service provider.
I should always tell my parents if someone I meet online wants to meet me in person, and I should NEVER agree to meet someone in person who I have met online.
