How To Be Safe On The Internet

Tara



Having your picture and phone number on the internet is not safe. If you have your picture and phone number on the internet take in off the internet.



If you have your picture and phone number on the internet anyone would know how you look and they could call you. If I had internet I would not tell anyone that I put my picture on my Myspace page. If someone was standing outside my school and trying to ask me can I have your picture and phone number? I would say no. You should do the same on the inernet.



To be safe on the internet keep your information to your silf. If you don’t someone can know how you look and know your phone number and call you. So be safe on the internet.



That’s How you be safe and not safe on

the internet.

The best thing about Club Penguin is that it is a online game you can go on. Club Penguin players walk around, chat, and play minigames too. On Club Penguin you can not say bad words or you will be banished on Club Penguin. When you play Club Penguin you can have a pet but you have to go to the pet shop to get one. When you go to the shop you will see the pets in a crate. When you see the Puffle you want, you will have your pet and there you go and you can name your pet too. The game is designed for children between the ages of 6 and 14 years old only. But the best thing about Club Penguin is that it is a online game you can go on.

My Topic Is About Being In Middle School

Article posted December 31, 2009 at 12:37 AM GMT0 • Reads 488

The interesting thing about being in middle school is that you can have you own locker. Because when I got to middle school I was kind of scared. But I meet my teacher Ms. Poe she was nice. But being in middle school is hard work because if you want to be in sports you have to get your grades up.

When I been in sports I got my grade up. The sport I was in was basketball. When I play basketball one of my grades where going down but when I herd that it was going down I got to work on it and then my grade went back up.

Then after that I was on the cort playing basketball I became the number one basketball player. Because I can make layups and shout my three poiners to. But all my team was good t. So when your in middle school don't think of your self think of others to.

So the interesting about middle school is that you get to have you own locker.
