the 411 Guidelines for Safe Texting

I will enjoy all of the technologies available to me, but I will not allow them to control me.

I will respect people with my text messages, and will not harass anyone.

I will never send nude pics, either of me or another, via text message (or by any other means).

I will allow my friends time to respond to my messages.

I will be thoughtful and not text during dinner, during a movie, or in other places/situations where it may be considered rude. I will text at appropriate times (for example at lunch time and not during school).

I will allow people to sleep and try not to text friends late at night.

I will allow myself to be disconnected sometimes.

I will not put up with harassing, threatening, or any other text that makes me feel uncomfortable.

I will respect other people's rights to privacy and freedom. I will not use technology to constantly keep tabs on people.

I will take time for myself.

I will balance my time texting with the time I spend with friends face-to-face.
