Do you ever think of why it is important to be a

good online citizen? Well I have. Good morning


Respected Judges, Principal, Teachers and fellow
students, My name is Samreet Brar and I’m from
6A. Today I will be talking about “Why is it
important to be a good online citizen?” I will also
be talking about how you can stay safe on the
internet. Well, we all know that the internet is a
very dangerous place for everyone. We might
not take the internet very seriously, but everyone
has access to it including dangerous people
wanting personal information.

To begin with, to be a good online citizen,


don't cyberbully people! It is completely wrong
to bully people online. We all have feelings and
we all should treat each other how we want to
be treated. We all may think we are hidden
online with our profile, but the police can track
you! When cyberbullying turns very intense, the
victim may commit suicide. Did you know that
7% of adult users in Canada have been
cyberbullied. Everyone should stand up to
bullying and stand up to it.

Everyone should know that the internet is


accessible to everyone! There are lots of people
that are younger than 13, and have access to
social media. In my opinion, children under 13
should be supervised online by their parents. The
internet is not a safe place. There can and will be
dangerous online predators wanting your
personal information. These people have nothing
else better to do other than wanting for personal
information!

Younger children can learn very bad language


and spread it on. The internet is a hotspot for
inappropriate language and behavior. To be a
good online citizen, tell them to stop! Social
media is made for appropriate behavior.
Cyberbullying comes in with bad language. If
this gets intense, please tell an adult. Bad
language can be hurtful especially if the words
are related to race, religion, culture and gender.
To be a good online citizen, report and stop
them!
It’s true the internet can be a very scary place. To
be safe on the internet, NEVER share personal
information for example: Age, Country, Name
and lots of other information. We should never
accept friend requests or direct messages from
people that we don’t know. If we accept these,
they want personal information. Also, only add
people you know in real life and not online! Also
never press a link that someone sends you
online, if you do, it may download a virus in your
device and steal information!

All of this sounds scary and alarming, but it’s


true! We all know social media is also very
dangerous! To be a good online citizen and you
are younger than 13 years old, you shouldn’t be
using social media unless you have permissions
and are supervised. After all, social media is not
safe for young kids. Some apps have 14 or 16+
apps which is understandable. Some apps are
not made for kids as there can be attackers
wanting information and kids won’t know about
them.
Well now we know how we can be a good online
citizen, let's talk about how to be safe online. On
social media, don’t talk to people you don’t
know. Also never share personal information!
There are always scam websites, Avoid them and
never enter your credit card numbers, passwords
and name. Also never download apps that seem
suspicious, as they can steal personal
information. In my opinion, if you are very
overprotective, I wouldn’t use social media and
don’t shop online. To be a good online citizen,
make your social media accounts private,
download apps carefully and use secure online
shopping websites.

Furthermore, let's talk about how the police can


track you online. The police can go to your
internet service provider and request connection
and see your usage logs. The police do this when
you have been doing bad things online. To be
safe, do not interact with people who say bad
things online, also ignore them. If someone
sends something inappropriate to someone, they
can get in trouble!

Now that we know who can see us online lets


see what types of people can we see on the
internet. There can be hackers! On some online
platforms, there can be hackers disguised as
normal people wanting your information. To stay
safe and be a good online citizen, do not talk to
these people and block them. Do not make
online friends, you never know who they are in
real life. What if they are also disguised as
someone and wanting your information!
After all, that was a lot of information! In
conclusion, the internet is not what we think it is.
I hope you have learned how to be a good online
citizen and stay safe! I hope you will keep your
information safe and not talk to strangers. Don’t
let the internet sabotage your life. Thank you so
much for listening to my speech.
