‼️February 11th, 2020 is SAFER INTERNET DAY‼️
Today is Safer Internet Day and Tipp Comhairle are celebrating by helping young people stay educated on the positives and negatives of the internet!
It’s no doubt the internet has transformed our daily lives in a positive way but with this comes a huge responsibility. Cyberbullying and online harassment is something we have all either witnessed or have been a victim to and is something we must work together to put an end to.
If you or someone you know is being harassed online, tell an adult you trust! Don’t join in sharing any posts or comments that could hurt someone and if you see hurtful comments, report them!
You are in control of what you post online so remember to be KIND and be SAFE!!!
