Internet Safety
While all of the above teen lesbian websites were checked for content, surfing the web can still be dangerous. Be careful when giving out information to join sites, forums and blogs. Use nicknames or made up screen names to protect your identity from strangers. Never give out specific information such as your home address, phone number, the school you attend or school groups that you belong to. Avoid personal chat rooms with people you don't know personally since you never know whom you are really talking to. If someone becomes abusive or wants to know too much about you, all you have to do is close the chat room and leave the site. You are always in control on the Internet, not the person bullying you.
