Dear Cyber Kids,

Nowadays, we are exposed to the exciting world of the Internet. We are able to search for information or even chat with friends at the click of a mouse. At times, we are required to key in their personal information and we might not even be aware of the dangers of doing it. This is Elean’s encounter with one of her cyber contacts.
“
Elean was a 10 years old girl. She loved chatting with friends and enjoyed knowing new friends online through various social network platforms. One day, there was a boy named Roy who initiated a chat with Elean. As Elean was bored at home, she decided to add him to her friends’ list and both started chatting with each other. After about 10 minutes, Elean began to share her personal information to Roy. She even sent a photograph of herself to Roy.

Soon, Roy requested to meet up with Elean. Even though Elean knew nothing about Roy, she agreed. Just then, her parents came home and found out that Elean was going to meet up with an online friend, one whom she had never seen him before. Her parents stopped her and highlighted the dangers of meeting with a stranger for a young girl like her.”

Dear Cyber Kids,

Have you ever feel uncomfortable, weird, scared, confused or guilty about the content you see online? Here's my story:

Many years ago, when I was surfing the Internet for information on my project, I chanced upon a website with the following caption. - “LOSE WEIGHT FAST- 10 KILOGRAMS in 3 DAYS.”

The website provided 10 easy steps for ladies like me to lose weight. Though I found it a little unbelievable, I was tempted to give it a try. Just when I was engrossed in reading and understanding how to go around losing weight in the fastest way, my mother came into my room. She saw the content on the website and asked, “You are not going to follow the steps, aren’t you? How can you go without food for so many days? Is that the right way to lose weight?” I came to realize that I might even cause harm to myself. I have learnt that in order to lose weight, it is important to have a balanced diet and exercise regularly.

What about you?
- Have you ever seen anything online that made you afraid, uncomfortable or feel excited and yet guilty because you sensed that it was wrong?

- How would you discern if the content on the Internet is inappropriate?

- What should you do when the content on the Internet is inappropriate?


I hope to read your responses soon.
