Staying Safe and Smart Online
In today's world, almost everyone uses the internet daily. Young people spend hours online for
homework, games, and chatting with friends. The internet offers many good things, but it also has risks.
Being digitally responsible means using technology in safe and smart ways. First, be careful about sharing
information. Keep your address, phone number, and school name private. Remember that things you post
online can stay there forever, even if you delete them later. Second, be kind when online. Don't send mean
messages or share embarrassing photos of others. Treat people with respect, just like you would in real life.
Third, check if information is true before believing it. Not everything online is correct. Look at different
websites and ask trusted adults when you're unsure. Fourth, balance your screen time with other activities.
Too much time online can affect your sleep, studies, and health. Make sure to spend time with family, play
sports, or enjoy hobbies away from screens. Fifth, use strong passwords for your accounts. Never share them
with friends, and change them often. This helps protect your personal information. Digital responsibility isn't
just about staying safe—it's about being a good digital citizen. By following these simple steps, you can
enjoy technology while avoiding problems.
Question 23. According to the text, once something is posted online, it might remain there permanently
even after deletion.
Question 24. The flyer suggests that digital responsibility only involves protecting your accounts with
passwords.
Question 25. The text recommends sharing online content with as many people as possible.
