A stranger is someone that you don't know in person. Most people that you may interact with on the internet are strangers - you may read news feeds, follow blogs, "friends" of "friends" on social media - these people are not actually your personal "friend".
Some people on the internet are nasty and pretend to be people they are not - they are predatory and want to cause you harm.
GROOMING:
Some adults pretend to be children and attempt to trick you into disclosing information about yourself so that they can later hurt you. This is called grooming. Some adults may give you gifts or appear to be kind - they are looking to start conversations and relationships with vulnerable or naïve/ inexperienced people who they can eventually exploit. Some people may try to trick you into sending rude messages/images where you are not fully clothed. They may try to trick you into thinking it is OK to video chat but they may be recording you without you knowing. They may then try to BLACKMAIL you by contacting your friends and family and threaten to show these images/ video of you and want money in return for not doing it. This is against the law.
CYBERBULLYING:
People can unfortunately send you nasty or hurtful messages to try to upset you or make you feel scared. This is called Cyberbullying. It is important not to share personal information such as photos of yourself or your family, bank card details, photos, your real name, address, phone number, school, age, where you live etc as this can be used to Groom you or Cyber bullies can use this to threaten you.
ONLINE GAMING:
Remember not everyone online is who they say they are. Do not accept an invitation from someone you don't know in real life. Some adults play games online as a way to meet children and use headphones that make their voices sound younger. A game that may be suitable for your age group may still be unsafe as any adult can also pretend to be a child and contact you - in an attempt to eventually hurt you.
