Moo?
It is easy for someone to misrepresent himself on the Internet. You may think you\'re chatting with a 12-year-old girl, and it could really be a 40-year-old man! Remember to be safe and not give out personal information or anything else that could put you in harms way.<\/p>Also remember that images can be modified. Modern Technology allows people to easily insert themselves into a picture to make you think they know someone they don\'t or they\'ve been somewhere they haven\'t. When it comes to the Internet, pictures aren\'t proof.<\/body><\/html>'; PicContent = '

Always be wary of posting pictures of yourself online. Pictures can reveal personal information that you might not even notice is there. A picture of yourself in a school sport uniform, for example, gives away where you go to school. This may not seem dangerous to you, but a complete stranger can now find you just by waiting outside your school... not to mention that they can see what sport you play and get your practice times, etc.<\/p>
Remember to use caution if you do post pictures online (and when friends post your pictures too!).<\/p><\/body><\/html>'; var FilterContent = '

Filters help protect you and your computer by blocking out innappropiate or harmful content. Federal law requires all school system computers that can access the Internet to have a content filter in place.
Home computers can be protected with software, such as Net Nanny. Many Internet Service Providers also offer "parental controls"; a way to block certain content from coming to your home.
