5. Never arrange to meet anyone in person without first agreeing it with your teacher, and get them to come along to the first meeting, which should always be in a public place.
6. Never stay in a chat room or in a NewsGroup (Usenet group) if someone says or writes something that makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, and always report it to your teacher.
