Gaming
Online games where you chat and play with people you don’t know can be great - but there are risks too.
Sometimes it’s easy to get so involved in a game, that you feel like you'll do anything to win, or get to the next level.
Adults with bad intentions know that loads of young people use gaming sites, so sometimes they pretend to be young people too.
- Make sure you remember whilst playing, that people are not always who they say they are.
- Be careful that you don’t get tricked or blackmailed to give out any personal details like:
your IM address
your email address
your photo
your real name
where you go to school
use a nickname as your username/ character name
You don’t need to share personal information to enjoy the game!
