It's Your Call - Safety for Teens

CELL PHONE SAFETY TIPS FOR TEENS

• DO use your cell phone for fun and to communicate and stay connected with your friends and family
• DO say NO to Bullying – don’t let ANYONE get bullied and don’t be the bully.
• DO talk to an adult you trust if you have sent or received any messages that were harmful or made you feel uncomfortable.
• DO NOT take or forward nude pictures to ANYONE. Once you send or post a picture, you can never get it back. These pictures could be illegal and consequences include, expulsion from school, jail, and registering as a sex offender.
• DO report any nude pictures you receive on your phone to an adult you trust
• DO NOT drive while talking on your cell phone or text messaging. It is illegal in many states.
• DO NOT give your number out to people you do not know in real life.
• DO try just talking with your friends the old fashion way (on the phone) instead of just text messaging all the time.
