Explanation:
We asked Student Edge members if they had any advice for their fellow students when it came to online 'responsibility', or any recommendations for demonstrating more 'respect'.
And, yeah, they sure did. Check out our fave tips below! (Oh, and if you're after more #SID2019 resources, head to the Office of the eSafety Commissioner's website! Or, get Student Edge to visit you in school!)
Always be aware that everything you do on the internet will stay there no matter if you close that window and never see it again. Don't share any personal details, they are meant to be personal for a reason.

Don't post images/videos you will regret. If you wouldn't show your parents the content you post, don't post it. Block threatening accounts. Tell an adult if you feel threatened.
Zoe P from WA
Don't broadcast your entire life and happiness online for everyone to see and criticise. Count your blessings and stay lowkey.

Before entering personal details online (such as for banking), always check that the website is secure. If it is secure, the URL will start with ‘https’ (s = secure).
Emily S from QLD
Instead of spreading negativity online, spread positivity. It's alright to comment criticism, but never okay to straight out hate on someone and attack them.
Charity N from VIC
Check the credibility of the site. Check the terms and conditions about the privacy of the information that you provide.
Mun N from NSW
Don’t start responding to articles or fake news without knowing real facts. Stay off sites that will create an unsafe environment.
Michaela H from VIC
Attack the argument, not the person. It's easy to get emotional and react negatively to things shared online, but in responding with factual information shared in a positive manner it helps educate and raise awareness rather than exacerbate animosity.

Don't add people you don’t know on social media. Keep only your family and close friends to reduce the risk of being bullied online.
Amy N from WA
Never have your ‘Snap Maps’ on if you have Snapchat.
Brooke E from NSW
Get a good paid virus protection software for all your devices.
Dineshe M from NSW
If you wouldn't show your grandma your post or whatever you're sending, delete it right away.
Charlene L from NSW
Don't say anything that you wouldn't want tattooed on your body.
Jason S from NSW
Never be a public account and never open DM requests from people you don’t know.
Naadiya O from QLD
Don't post while you're away on holiday. Burglars may notice and rob your place while you're gone!
Amel S from NT
It is good to often go through your friends and followers on places like Insta, Facebook, Snapchat to make sure you know the people who are seeing all your info, because it is possible for people to start following you without you getting a notification about it.
Molly D from VIC
When checking emails, hover over the email address to ensure it is a legit email prior to opening.
Karina L from NSW
Prevention better than cure! Avoid strange websites, placing important personal details online (especially on unsecured sites) and always have protection software on your devices.
Grace K from QLD
Sometimes I like to hide under my bed and pretend I'm a bread when I've had too much internet for the day.
Andrew O from VIC
Follow the same principles you would in the real world. If something seems too good to be true then it probably is. Don't click.
Daniel N from NSW
Your password should contain at least two capital letters, three numbers and a few random bits nobody can guess. And make it 18 characters long! Just saying...
Azin A from NSW
To stay cyber safe, I would say to just stay kind and remember that the way you treat people online does affect them and it’s not okay to ever be disrespectful. If you find yourself in a situation where you feel you are the victim, simply un-add or remove that person from being able to talk to you. Being online should be enjoyable. It’s not selfish to make decisions to make your time the safest and happiest it can be on the internet. Stay respectful.
