Long passwords are also a good idea as they are hard to guess. Never use your name or date of birth, your pet's name, or anything that hackers can guess from your social media. 2 Think before you post When you post a comment or photo on social media, it stays there forever - even if you delete it from your account. Don't post or share anything nasty or false. 3 Be careful of friend requests Don't accept friend requests from people you don't know. Always tell your parents if someone you don't know sends you messages or wants to chat with you, and don't click on any links they send you. Never share personal information with anyone. 4 Be kind online Cyberbullying is a big problem for young people. It's easier for bullies to post horrible messages online as they can hide behind a false name. Cyberbullying can happen any time you are online - at home, at school, or out with your friends. Tell an adult if someone is bullying you. And always be kind online. 48 2 Match the words in bold in the article to their definitions. 1 hacker 2 post 3 nasty 4 accept 5 cyberbullying 6 hide behind a treating someone badly either online or through electronic messaging b very bad or unkind C agree to something d to put yourself in a position where you cannot be seen e a person who uses computers to get hold of private information f to put on social media
