    Why do people say mean things online, or in text, instead of in person?

    • Because they are lazy

    • Because it's easier to be mean to someone over the internet instead of face to face

    • Because they think its nicer

    • Because they don't like talking

    Correct Answer
    A. Because it's easier to be mean to someone over the internet instead of face to face
    Explanation
    People say mean things online or in text instead of in person because it's easier to be mean to someone over the internet instead of face to face. The anonymity and distance provided by online platforms make it easier for individuals to hide behind a screen and express their negative thoughts without facing immediate consequences or seeing the impact on the other person's face. This lack of accountability and detachment from the real-life consequences of their actions can lead people to behave in a more hurtful and disrespectful manner online.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    You get a text message from a number that you don't know.  What TWO things should you do?

    • Text them back AND tell them where to meet you

    • Ignore the message AND tell an adult

    • Show your friends AND try and figure out who it is

    • Text them back AND say something rude

    Correct Answer
    A. Ignore the message AND tell an adult
    Explanation
    When receiving a text message from an unknown number, it is important to prioritize personal safety. Ignoring the message helps to avoid potential risks associated with engaging with strangers. Additionally, informing an adult about the situation ensures that they are aware of the situation and can provide guidance or take appropriate action if necessary. This approach promotes caution and responsible behavior when faced with unfamiliar communication.

  • 4. 

    What personal information is it OK to give online?

    • Your name

    • Your phone number

    • Your address

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    It is not OK to give any personal information online, including your name, phone number, or address. Sharing personal information online can put you at risk of identity theft, fraud, or other forms of misuse. It is important to protect your privacy and only share personal information with trusted sources or when necessary.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Everything you say online is private

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Everything you say online is private" is false. When you say something online, it can be easily accessed and seen by others, depending on the platform and privacy settings. Online conversations, posts, and messages can be shared, saved, and even leaked, compromising the privacy of the information shared. It is important to be cautious and mindful of what is shared online to protect personal privacy.

    Cyber bullying does not hurt anyone.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Cyber bullying can have severe emotional and psychological effects on the victims. It can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and even suicide. The impact of cyber bullying is not limited to just the victims; it can also affect their friends and family who witness the harassment. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that cyber bullying does not hurt anyone.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    If you're confronted by a difficult situation online, and you don't know exactly how to handle it, what should you do?

    • Make a guess

    • Ask an adult you trust

    • Ask a friend

    • Turn off the computer

    Correct Answer
    A. Ask an adult you trust
    Explanation
    When faced with a difficult situation online and unsure of how to handle it, asking an adult you trust is the best course of action. Adults, particularly those who are knowledgeable about technology and online safety, can provide guidance and support in navigating the situation effectively. They can offer advice, help assess the risks involved, and provide solutions or steps to take in order to address the issue appropriately. Seeking the help of a trusted adult ensures that you receive reliable assistance and increases the likelihood of resolving the situation in a safe and responsible manner.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Why would you be more cautious with friends that you meet online instead of in real life?

    • You don't really know who they are

    • The online friends are always just as great as real life friends

    • Online friends are more trustworthy with secrets

    • Online friends will always lie to you

    Correct Answer
    A. You don't really know who they are
    Explanation
    When you meet friends online, you do not have the same level of personal interaction and face-to-face communication as you do with friends in real life. This lack of physical presence makes it difficult to truly know who the person behind the screen is. Online friends can easily create false identities or hide their true intentions, which is why it is important to exercise caution and be more skeptical when interacting with them compared to friends you meet in real life.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A secure password consists of a combination of letters, numbers and symbols and is at least 8 characters.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A secure password is one that is difficult to guess or crack, and using a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols makes it more complex and therefore harder to guess. Additionally, having a minimum length of 8 characters ensures that the password is not too short and provides more possible combinations, further increasing its security. Therefore, the statement that a secure password consists of a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols and is at least 8 characters is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    When you empathize with someone you can imagine the feelings that someone else is feeling.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. When you empathize with someone, you are able to put yourself in their shoes and imagine the emotions they are experiencing. This requires a level of emotional intelligence and the capacity to connect with others on an emotional level. Therefore, the statement that when you empathize with someone, you can imagine the feelings that someone else is feeling is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    When you are browsing online, and visiting the sites that you like to frequent, you are leaving your Digital Footprint.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When you browse online and visit websites, you leave behind a digital footprint. This refers to the traces of data that are created and collected about you as you use the internet. These traces can include your browsing history, search queries, social media activity, and more. Therefore, the statement "When you are browsing online, and visiting the sites that you like to frequent, you are leaving your Digital Footprint" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    A bystander is someone who sees cyberbullying happening, but does nothing to help.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A bystander is someone who witnesses cyberbullying but chooses not to intervene or help in any way. This means that they may be aware of the situation but do not take any action to stop or prevent the bullying from occurring. By not doing anything, bystanders indirectly contribute to the perpetuation of cyberbullying and allow the harm to continue. Therefore, the statement "A bystander is someone who sees cyberbullying happening, but does nothing to help" is true.
