🔎 Check It Out
Some people accept every friend request they get online — but this can be dangerous.
Friends online should be people you know in real life, like classmates, family, or trusted adults.
If you don’t recognise the name, picture, or message, it’s safest to ignore or delete the request.
Never share personal details (like your school, address, or phone number) with someone you don’t know offline.
Create a poster with your own Rules for Friend Requests. Think about: Who is safe to add? What should you do if you feel unsure? How can you say “no” politely but firmly?
