Are my passwords safe? Be sure your passwords include a mix of capital letters,small letters, numbers and symbols. Make them complicated enough so that no one can guess them. Safeguard your passwords and change them often.

Am I using free Wi-Fi? Many public Wi-Fi hot spots aren’t secure and might not protect your passwords and other data.

互联网为连接、教育和娱乐提供了广泛的资源。根据皮尤研究中心的研究，94%的青少年每天使用移动设备上网。

不幸的是，不断使用应用程序、收发信息和上网使我们容易受到线上“窃贼”的攻击——网络威胁着青少年。在一个充满屏幕的世界里，为了青少年的注意力而与他们作斗争似乎是徒劳的。以下是针对青少年的网络安全建议。

我的账户有隐私设置吗？在社交媒体平台上使用隐私设置。查看你使用的社交媒体的设置，确保只有你信任的人才能看到你的朋友圈。

我的软件是最新的吗？检查以确保你的手机运行的是最新的操作系统、防病毒软件和上网浏览器。

我的密码安全吗？确保你的密码是大小写字母、数字和符号的组合。让你的密码足够复杂，这样就没有人能猜到它们。保护你的密码并经常更改。

我是否在使用免费无线网络？许多公共无线网络热点并不安全，可能无法保护你的密码和其他数据。

我是否强制执行了禁止使用屏幕的规范？“桌上没手机”是一个很好的起点，设定关闭屏幕和手机的时间也是如此。不要沉溺于网络世界。

我是否发布了敏感信息？不要在网上发布地址、电话号码、生日或财务信息，否则线上“窃贼”会很快获得你的个人信息，对你造成伤害。

我知道在网上没有什么是暂时的吗？网络世界充满了交流的机会。这也是一个没有什么是暂时的、没有“撤回”的地方。即使你删除了线上操作，线上“窃贼”仍然可以看到它们。

这样发布合适吗？现在对你来说似乎有趣或很酷的事情，几年后可能就不那么酷了。对于发布有一个好建议：如果你会因为父母看到它感到不自在，那么发布它可能就是不合适的。
