Recovery Evaluation - Module 4

Read the following text. You won't be able to read the text again, so memorize the main ideas to answer the questions.

Check your mood! Are you feeling upset or angry? Then now is not the time to be messaging or posting on a social media site. People don't always make good decisions or think clearly and calmly when they're stressed out or upset.

When you're on a website, try to remain as anonymous as possible. That means keeping all private information private. Most trustworthy people and reputable companies won't ask for this type of information online.  So, if others do, it's a red flag that they may want to do something unsafe.

Think carefully before you create an email address or screen name. Use a combination of letters and numbers in both that don't identify whether you're male or female.

When messaging or using video apps, use a nickname that's different from your screen name. That way, if you ever find yourself in a conversation that makes you feel uncomfortable, you can exit without having to worry that someone knows your screen name and can track you via email. Some people who hang out with their friends online set up private groups where only they and the people they invite can interact.

Keep online friendships in the virtual world. Meeting online friends face to face carries more risks than other types of friendships because it's so easy for people to pretend to be something they're not when you can't see them or talk in person.

If you ever get involved in any messaging or online chats that make you feel uncomfortable or in danger for any reason, exit and tell an adult right away so they can report it.
