The Internet can be a great way to meet others that you share interests with, but it's important to make safe choices when you're interacting with others online.

 

If you decide to meet someone you've met online in person, make sure you meet them in a public place during the day, and bring at least one other friend with you.

 

It's also important to make sure that an adult knows where you're going and when you plan to be back.

 

For example, meeting at a cafe in the afternoon with a friend from school with you is generally a safe way to meet an online friend in person.

 

If you feel uncomfortable meeting an online friend in real life, it's always okay to say no.
