0:00:07 > 0:00:08Hey, Lifebabblers.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11The internet can be a great place to discover new things.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14But it can be easy to make mistakes.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17So we'll be babbling about the best ways to enjoy your time
0:00:17 > 0:00:21online by keeping it safe, sensible and respectful to others.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Here's what you need to know.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Socialising online can be lots of fun. Just stay smart about it.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Use the same rules that you use when you're out in the real world.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33And when you get that message on your mobile phone,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36just remember, it may not be the person you think it is.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39There are so many different ways of connecting with friends.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41But some websites have age restrictions.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Check the website's terms and conditions to check
0:00:43 > 0:00:45if you're the right age to use it.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Never arrange to meet someone you meet online,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50no matter how well you think you know them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52It's worth remembering that everybody is different.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54What you find funny, someone else might not.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Always treat people the way you want to be treated.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I have no friends online. I'm not sure how safe it is.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I sometimes feel pressure from peers to go online,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08but I decided it wasn't for me.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12I have lots of friends online. I all know them in real life.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15So I don't talk to anybody that I don't know.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20I don't have any friends such as Justin Bieber, out of nowhere.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23In my opinion, just be really safe.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Sometimes everything is not quite
0:01:25 > 0:01:28as it seems online.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32I want to write something cool, but sitting here alone isn't
0:01:32 > 0:01:34exactly the most exciting thing to write about.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Oh, I know!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Here I am at an awesome celebrity party.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Celebration emoji!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Party emoji!
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Well, that didn't work.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Maybe I can impress people with my awesome baking skills.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Well, that was an epic fail. Here's one I bought earlier.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02No-one will ever know! Cake emoji!
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Oops!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I think I'll write about my incredible physical prowess.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Exercise emoji!
0:02:14 > 0:02:18OK, so I'm not really. Embarrassed emoji.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24You may have heard the word or phrase "digital footprint".
0:02:24 > 0:02:27You might not know it, but whenever you do something online,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30you leave a footprint of wherever and whatever you're doing.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Once you leave this footprint, it's almost impossible to get rid of.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So while putting your pictures and videos online
0:02:36 > 0:02:38can be a great way to express your creativity
0:02:38 > 0:02:42and share with your friends, there's no such thing as a secret online.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43And once it's on the internet,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46a lot of that stuff is going to be there forever.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49It's worth remembering that when you post something online,
0:02:49 > 0:02:50you are potentially sharing that with
0:02:50 > 0:02:53billions of people all around the world.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Imagine your grandma is sitting behind you - what would she think?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04It's really important to balance online and offline time.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Sometimes we get so wrapped up with what's going online, we forget
0:03:07 > 0:03:09that coming offline may be the best way
0:03:09 > 0:03:10to resolve the problem.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Think of your online social world as
0:03:13 > 0:03:15an extension to your offline relationships.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19If it doesn't add something genuine to your friendship,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21then it's not worth it.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Being online can make us feel happy and excited,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27but remember, don't give out your personal information.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Keep your full name, your address, mobile number, e-mail address,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35school name and friends' full names all secret.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40Keep your online life positive and healthy and, of course, enjoy it!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43That's all we have time for today, Lifebabblers.
