    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    You should never put your address on a social network because it can compromise your personal safety and privacy.

    • Because people will know exactly where to find you.

    Correct Answer
    A. Because people will know exactly where to find you.
    Explanation
    By posting where you are about to go and what time you'll be there, people will have access to your location and can easily find you. This can be concerning for various reasons, such as privacy and safety. It is important to be cautious about sharing personal information online, as it can make you vulnerable to unwanted attention or potential harm.

    Correct Answer
    A. The name of your school
    Explanation
    Sharing the name of your school on a social network should be avoided because it can potentially compromise your privacy and safety. Revealing this information could make it easier for strangers to locate and identify you, increasing the risk of cyberbullying, stalking, or even physical harm. It is important to be cautious about the personal information we share online, especially when it comes to sensitive details like the name of our school.

    When posting on a social network, it is important to consider the audience and the potential consequences of your posts. Sharing personal information can be risky and may compromise your privacy or safety. Being funny is subjective and may not be appropriate in all situations. However, ensuring that you only post things you wouldn't mind your parents or friends' parents seeing is a good guideline to maintain a positive online presence and avoid any potential embarrassment or negative consequences.

    Which of these should you never put on a social network?

    • Your picture

    • Your full birth date

    • Your best friend's name

    Correct Answer
    A. Your full birth date
    Explanation
    You should never put your full birth date on a social network because it is a sensitive piece of personal information that can be used for identity theft or other malicious purposes. Sharing your birth date publicly increases the risk of someone being able to access your personal accounts or impersonate you. It is important to protect your personal information online to ensure your privacy and security.

    Correct Answer
    A. Allows you to send and receive messages to anyone
    Explanation
    A messaging system on a social networking site allows users to send and receive messages to anyone. This means that users can communicate with not only their friends but also with individuals who are not on their friends list. It provides a platform for open communication and facilitates interaction between users who may not be connected through a mutual friendship.

    If someone is being horrible to you online, what shouldn't you do?

    • Be horrible back

    • Tell a trusted adult

    • Block them

    Correct Answer
    A. Be horrible back
    Explanation
    Engaging in a cycle of negativity by being horrible back to someone who is already being horrible to you online is not a recommended course of action. Responding with more negativity can escalate the situation further and perpetuate a toxic online environment. Instead, it is advisable to maintain composure and not stoop to their level. It is important to prioritize personal well-being and safety, so telling a trusted adult about the situation and blocking the person can help in protecting oneself from further harm.
