Experts say simple safety guidelines can protect children and teens from child abuse. These include:
Never giving out your personal information on the Internet or to strangers.
Avoid talking to strangers or anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable or scared. Let your parents know where you are and whom you're with at all times.
Remember that people are not always who they say they are on the internet.
If you feel that you have been the victim of sexual abuse, talk to your school counselor or an adult you trust.
