TEENWAG PARENTAL CARE AND SAFETY PAGE
* Don't forget that your profile and Teenwag pages are public spaces. Don't post anything you wouldn't want the world to know (e.g., your phone number, address, or specific whereabouts). Avoid posting anything that would make it easy for a stranger to find you, such as where you hang out every day.
* People aren't always who they say they are. It's fun to connect with new Teenwag friends from all over the world, but avoid meeting people in person whom you do not fully know. If you must meet someone, do it in a public place and bring a friend or trusted adult.
* Harassment, hate speech and inappropriate content should be reported. If you feel someone's behavior is inappropriate, react. Talk with a trusted adult, or report it to Teenwag or the authorities.
* Don't post anything that would embarrass you later. Think twice before posting info you wouldn't want your parents or boss to see!
* Don't mislead people into thinking that you're older or younger. If you are under 14 and pretend to be older, admins will ban you or delete your profile. If you are over 18 and pretend to be a teenager to contact underage users, admins will ban you or delete your profile.
* Don’t get hooked by a phishing scam. Phishing is a method used by fraudsters to try to get your personal information, such as your username and password, by pretending to be a site you trust. http://www.onguardonline.gov/phishing.html to learn more.
