Quiz for Teens

How much do you really know about the consequences of your online behavior?

1.) You can easily identify an online predator because they are usually:

Aggressive and sleazy online, and always talk about sex.
Asking for your name and address immediately, so they can meet you in person.
Neither

2.) Someone you “met” online now wants to meet you in person. They seem nice enough, and you have a lot in common. What should you do?

Arrange a meeting at a public place, but don’t tell your parents because they’d just freak out.
Check with your parents first to find out what they think.
Invite them over to your house, that way you are in “control” of the situation and can ask them to leave at any time.

3.) Someone keeps sending you mean IMs, threatening to hurt you or your friends. At first it was just annoying, now you’re kind of scared. What should you do?

Confront the person online, they threatened you so you should threaten them
Stop using the Internet completely
Ignore the messages, but tell your parents about the problem and report the issue

4.) Should you talk to your parents about the Internet and what you and your friends do while online?

No way! They will just ban me from using the Internet all together.
No, they don’t understand the Internet anyway, so what good would it do?
Yeah, the more conversation the better.

5.) A group of friends want you to sign up for the same file-sharing system they are using, that way you can all access each others files at any time. They say it’s completely safe, you can download anything you want and all you need is a strong firewall to stop spam. Are they right?

Yes
No

6.) You have just finished creating an awesome online profile and are ready to go live. Should you limit the people who can view your profile?

I don’t think so. It’s not like people who don’t know me are going to be looking at this profile, anyway.
That makes a lot of sense. I don’t want a bunch of strangers going through my profile!

7.) Your friends saw your profile online and think you should add some pictures to make it even better. They have pictures on their profiles, too, so it should be okay… right?
