Teens 15-18
Welcome to B4UClick
Hi Teens,
Have you ever done something you later regretted?
The Internet makes it easy for people to share things and stay connected, but it also makes it easier to make mistakes and get into dangerous situations.
Do you know what to do when something goes wrong online? If you’re aware of how to protect yourself from online dangers, you can stay in control of any situation.
This site is designed to help you learn more about being safe online and how you can stand up against web abuse. If you or someone you know is worried about a person they’ve met online, something they’ve seen browsing the web, or a mistake they’ve made, our website is a safe place to discuss these things. Check our page on who to contact for more information.
Computers have revolutionized the way we communicate, the way we entertain ourselves, and the way we live our lives. People connect through technology and online services and innovation in new ways each day.
It is more than imperative that safety is considered above all else when using any Internet technology whether you are watching videos, communicating on social media, or using the latest Internet enabled device or game.
B4UClick aims to educate people on everything you need to know about being safe while using your computer. Most importantly, it will teach you what you need to do if anyone ever treats you in a way that makes you uncomfortable or afraid or insecure.
It can be tempting to decide that you don’t want to wait for the newest hot movie to come out before you see it. P2P (peer-to-peer) sites let you download illegal copies of movies, TV shows, and music files, often before they’re available to the public. But note that these sites are illegal and you can get into serious trouble with the police and even the government if you’re caught with illegal downloads on your computer.
Not to mention that downloading anything—a movie file, a picture, or even a game—can ruin your computer. Many P2P file sharing sites are filled with files that contain viruses and malware. Downloading an infected file could allow a hacker to hijack your computer, gain access to your important accounts, or even shut down your computer completely. Think B4UClick Before you click on that download link, think: is watching that movie really worth going to jail or losing your computer?
- Never give out your account password. Even if you think you trust the person you’re giving this information to, they could double-cross you and take advantage of your hard work by hijacking your account and stealing your items.
- Never give out personal information about yourself. It’s easy to make lasting friendships with the people you interact with most online. But remember that anyone you meet could be dishonest about the information they give you, and you don’t want to give out personal details like your name, address, and phone number to a stranger.
- Treat people how you want to be treated. In-game chatting applications let you speak to lots of other players. And just because you can’t see them in person doesn’t mean that the person you’re trolling can’t be hurt by the things you say. Remember that there is always a person behind that avatar or character, and treat them with respect and kindness.
Mobile and Console Games
We bet you didn’t know that the games you have on your phone or tablet and the games you play through Xbox Live and PlayStation Plus are considered online games. Because you have to be connected to the Internet to use them, they’re considered web-based, even if you don’t have to use a computer to access them.Gaming Addiction
MMORPGs are popular because they allow players to escape their real lives and become a different character, often in a fantasy world. People are attracted to these types of games because they often feel a sense of power or achievement they can’t get in the real world. Sometimes people enjoy playing online games so much that they forget about their responsibilities in the real world. This is called gaming addiction, and it happens to more people than you think. In mild cases, teens forget to do their homework and their grades drop, but in severe cases, teens have died from over exhaustion, lack of sleep, and starvation. As fun as games are, it’s important to remember to take frequent breaks. Take time to rest your eyes and your muscles for a few minutes every hour or so. If you’re stuck in a particularly difficult boss battle or quest, this time that you take away from the game can help you re-center and re-focus. It’s also important to remember that games are just that—games. It’s sometimes hard to remember because we get so invested in the worlds and stories inside online games, but what happens in the game does not reflect what happens in real life. In other words, if you lose a battle, nothing bad will happen. Your life will not be over, the world will not end, and you can always start over fresh the next day.Reporting Abuse
Most games will have their own processes for reporting abuse within the game. Make sure to read or be aware of the site’s Terms of Service, also known as the rules of play. If someone ever harasses you, including stalking you in the game, discriminating against you, or simply trolling you for a reaction, you have the right to report that player for abuse. No matter how small or insignificant you think it might be, it’s important to report anything that makes you feel threatened or uncomfortable.- stream your favorite TV shows and movies in real-time
- track your friends or family with GPS
- check in to your favorite restaurants, hangouts, and shops
- automatically upload videos and pictures to your favorite social networks
Types Social Media
Follower Platforms Most of the social media that we’ve referenced so far is a basic Follower Platform style of social networking. Apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr are Follower Platforms, based on sharing information with “Friends” or “Followers.” But there are other types of Social Media you should be aware of. Live Sharing Apps like Live.Me, Snapchat, or YouTube Live are live sharing platforms, they allow the world (depending on your privacy settings) to see what you’re doing or where you’re at in real-time. That being said, it is extremely important when using these platforms to have strict privacy settings in order to protect yourself online. Romantic Apps Apps like Tindr or Bumblr are used to make romantic connections between users. There is nothing more dangerous on the internet than putting yourself in a database as a minor that is interested in “finding someone.” You know by now, people are not always who they say they are online. And most people do NOT have your best interest at heart. (Remember our Videos on Online Grooming and Manipulation?) Don’t trust people you don’t know and can’t see, and DO NOT agree to meet with someone offline alone EVER.The web gives you the freedom to be whomever and do whatever you want. Lots of teens your age use the Internet as an escape—from school, from homes, from responsibilities—but that doesn’t mean it’s always a safe place.
While activities like social media sites, online games, and video chats can seem like harmless fun, they can also get out of hand very quickly. It’s important to be aware of the dangers of these sites so that, if something ever does happen while you’re online, you have the knowledge to stand up and take action.
- Being bought or sold to people for money or items
- Being tricked into leaving their parents and home
How Common is Child Trafficking?
Even though you might not hear about it, child trafficking is common in the United States. It affects people of all ages, races, and genders. In 2010, the FBI investigated over 2,500 human trafficking cases, and almost half of those cases involved child trafficking for the purposes of prostitution. Trafficking is a real and scary situation. But by knowing how to protect yourself and others, you can stay safe.Signs of Child Trafficking
Child trafficking is often difficult to spot because it happens in the privacy of a home. But there are often signs that someone is being exploited or being forced to do things they don’t want to do. If you know someone who fits any of the signs below, they might be a victim of child trafficking. Check out our Who to Contact page for information on where you can find someone to help.- Someone who is often tired or worn out
- Someone who doesn’t live with and does not have contact with their family
- Someone who has different adults around them a lot
- Someone who has unexplained injuries, like bruises or cuts
- Someone who misses school a lot
- Someone who gets nervous or afraid around adults or teachers
- Someone who doesn’t speak a lot or seems withdrawn
- Someone who has talked about how they don’t like being at home
- Someone who cannot speak English very well, even though they moved here a while ago
How to Stop Child Trafficking
Just because you’re a teen doesn’t mean you can’t stand up and make a difference. There are lots of things you can do to stop child trafficking in your community and throughout the United States. If you think you know someone who is a victim of child trafficking, tell someone about it. This can be a teacher, your parents, or someone at [agency name]. It’s important to act quickly if you think someone is being abused or exploited. For more information on human trafficking, watch THIS video.What to Do If You’re Being Bullied Online
If you think you are being bullied online, there are ways you can take a stand and make it stop. Start by talking to your parents, teacher, or an adult you trust about what’s happening. Show them any texts, emails, or social media posts that insult or make fun of you. The most important thing to remember is not to react to any bullying online. This can be really hard because what’s being said is often mean or hurtful, but getting angry or hurt is often what a bully wants when they insult you. Block the person from your phone or the website, chat room, or app where they are talking to you and, if possible, don’t forget to report them for abuse.What to Do If a Friend is Being Bullied Online
If you notice that a friend is being bullied or harassed through social media, texts, or emails, it’s important to take a stand. Talk to your friend about what you know about cyberbullying and let them know they don’t have to face the situation alone, that you are there for them. Show them our website and the places and people they can turn to for help. If your friend isn’t comfortable or is scared to talk to someone about what’s happening, you can do something for them. Talk to their parents, their teacher, or someone from [agency name] about what’s happening. An adult will have the power to step in and take action to make the bullying stop. If you see cyberbullying happening on sites like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, you can let the person who posted the message know that what they’re doing isn’t right. However, remember that insulting the person posting insulting messages means you’re just sinking to their level. You can rise above cyberbullying by taking the necessary steps to make it stop.Giving Out Your Number
We know you want to talk to that cute boy or girl you have a crush on, but be careful about who you’re giving your number to. If you give your number out online or to people you don’t really know, they can then contact you when you might not want them to.Taking and Sending Pictures
Your phone has an awesome camera that lets you easily share your best selfies and fun pictures with your friends on sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and even your blog. But are you sure you want to share that picture with the world? If you wouldn’t show that picture with your parents or grandparents, it’s probably best to just delete it. After you upload a picture online or send it to your friends through a text, it’s no longer in your control. You never know who might see it or get a copy.Uploading Pictures and Video
Some apps for your phone allow you to automatically sync the photos and videos you take on your phone to certain social networks. This can be especially dangerous because you might not always be aware that a photo or video is being uploaded and shared online. Our best advice is to never allow an app to automatically sync your data, no matter what data it is, to any website online. You never know when you might accidentally share something personal or inappropriate.GPS Tracking
Some phones have built in GPS tracking to show you where your friends are at any given time. This can help parents track where their kids are and help you meet up with your friends, but it can also help other people find and track you. Make sure you don’t use GPS tracking apps or set your privacy settings so that people you don’t know can’t find you. According to Apple, if you have an iPhone “You can turn Location Services on or off at Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn Location Services on either during the Setup Assistant process or later through the Location Services setting. You can individually control which apps and system services have access to Location Services data. When Location Services are off, apps can’t use your location in the foreground or background. This will limit the performance of various Apple and third-party apps.”Unwanted Texts or Phone Calls
If someone is harassing you on your phone—sending you text messages or calling you all the time— there are things you can do to make them stop. First, try to block their phone number from your phone. This will mean that you can’t receive texts or calls from this person. Check your phone provider’s website for information on how to block a phone number. If the person contacting you is being mean, rude, or threatening, it’s called cyberbullying and is serious. You should talk to someone you trust—like your parents, a teacher, or someone in your family—about what’s happening. You can also call the Johnson County Children’s Advocacy Center to talk to someone specially trained to help teens like you.Copyright Material
There are strict laws in place that protect companies from having their work or their ideas stolen. This even applies to videos uploaded online. If you use a site like YouTube, you know that you can’t find full movies or episodes of your favorite shows there. That’s because shows and movies are copyrighted by their creators, meaning only certain people can copy or distribute them online or elsewhere. Videos that contain copyrighted material can and will be removed from sites like YouTube because they technically break the law. If you are the person who uploaded the copyrighted video, you can get banned from the site, fined a lot of money, or even sued. It’s just not worth it.Sexual Material
If you are under the age of 18, it is against the law to appear in any video that shows you depicted in a sexual manner. Anything that shows you performing a sexual act, revealing your genitals, or otherwise acting in a sexual way is considered child pornography and is illegal. If you have been forced or pressured into having sex or doing sexual acts on camera, it is considered sexual abuse. If the video ends up online, you can report it to the video hosting service to get it taken down. You should also talk to your parents, a teacher, or someone you trust about what’s happened.What to Do If You Get a Sext Message
Sometimes people think it’s funny or fun to send pictures of themselves to people they don’t really know. Some people even send sexts because they want the person getting the messages to like them. No matter why someone sends you a sexual picture or text message, if you’re not comfortable with it, you can make it stop. Here are some things to remember:- If you get an inappropriate picture of another person, do not share it with other people. This means don’t forward the message to your friends, don’t upload it to your favorite social site, and don’t show it to other people.Show the picture to your parents or another adult you trust and tell them who sent the image.
- If you get a sext message from someone you don’t know, block their number from your phone. This will mean they can no longer contact you through text messages. If you’re not sure how to do this, check your phone provider’s website for help.
- If you ever want to talk about inappropriate pictures you’ve received on your phone or on social media, you can always talk to someone at [agency name]. They are trained to help teens stand up to sexual abuse and get out of dangerous situations.
- Being forced to have sex with or perform a sexual act on another person
- Someone touching your body without your permission
- Being forced to touch yourself or another person in a sexual way
- Being forced to watch adult videos
- Being forced to say or do something of a sexual nature online or through texting
Who can be sexually abused?
Anyone can be sexually abused at any time in their life. Boys, girls, men, and women are all equally vulnerable to sexual abuse, no matter if it happens online or in the real world.Who are sexual abusers?
Anyone can be a sexual abuser. No matter if the person abusing you is your boyfriend, girlfriend, or a member of your family, they do not have the right to pressure you into something you don’t want or are not comfortable doing.What does the law say about sexual abuse?
There are laws in place that protect people from sexual abuse and hold abusers accountable for their actions. Child sexual abuse is illegal in all 50 states and is also considered a federal offense. Each state carries its own punishment for any type of sexual abuse of a child. Inability to consent: The law states that minors, or anyone under the age of 16-18 (depending on the state), cannot legally give consent to have sex of any kind. This means that if your boyfriend or girlfriend is over the age of consent (16-18) and you two have sex, your boyfriend or girlfriend is breaking the law, even if they didn’t force you to do anything.Will my boyfriend/girlfriend break up with me if I don’t have sex with them?
No one should be pressuring you to have sex, including your boyfriend or girlfriend. If you are under the age of 16-18, having sex is against the law, and doing so, even if you want to, can get you and your boyfriend/girlfriend into a lot of trouble, especially if your boyfriend or girlfriend is older than you. Even if you are over the age of consent in your state, you don’t have to have sex. If someone is pressuring or forcing you to have sex or perform sexual acts that you don’t want to do, it is called sexual abuse. If you are ever forced to do something sexual you do not want to do or do not think you are ready for, talk to an adult you trust about it. They can help you overcome what happened and make the abuse stop. Sex should be a part of a loving and trusting committed relationship. If your boyfriend or girlfriend is putting pressure on you to do things you’re not ready for, they are not respecting you or your feelings.How can I make sexual abuse stop?
You have the power to make sexual abuse stop. It can be hard to take a stand against your abuser, but remember, this is not your fault and you are not alone. There are people here that can help you; all you have to do is talk to them. One of the most important things you can do is to document all of the abuse, especially if it takes place online. This can be very tough because you don’t want to relive what’s happened to you, but it’s important as evidence against your abuser. If they leave you messages online, send you texts or pictures, or leave you voicemails on your phone, make sure to save them. When you do talk to someone about what’s been happening to you, use them as evidence.Profile Information
Filling out your profile with information about you is one of the first steps you’ll do when you sign up for a social media site. But you need to be careful about what information you choose to add and who can see that information. Many social sites will ask you for things like your phone number, email address, and even your home address. While these can help your friends find you, they can also help random people you don’t know find you. If you include these things on your profile, make sure you have your privacy settings set to protect that information from search engines like Google and Bing so that random people searching for information can’t find your profile. You only want people you know and trust to have this information about you.Sharing Pictures and Videos
Just like anything on your profile, your profile picture can be seen by anyone who comes across your profile, unless you have your privacy settings set in a certain way. The most important thing to remember about when you share pictures or videos, even if they’re just to your friends, is that once they’re published online, you can’t ever really get rid of them. Sure, you can delete the post, but if someone saved the image before you deleted it, you no longer have control of how it can be used. Trust us, you don’t want to get famous in that way. If you wouldn’t show the picture or video you’re uploading to your parents or grandparents, you don’t want it online.Chatting Online and Friends Lists
It might make you feel awesome to have a huge friends list, but make sure you’re only adding people you actually know and trust to your lists. Many people aren’t truthful about who they say they are online, and if you give them access to your profile information, you could be putting yourself into a dangerous situation. The same goes for chatting. Sites like Twitter and Instagram make it possible for you to talk to people no matter if you know them or not. In fact, you don’t even have to follow them or add them to be able to chat. While this can be a great way to meet new people, it can also be a great way to meet the wrong people. Never give out personal information about yourself to someone you’re chatting with online. Even if you’ve been talking for a long time and think you know them really well, they could still be lying about who they really are. The people you meet online are technically strangers, and you don’t want strangers to know where you live or how to contact you offline.Privacy Settings
When you sign up for a social site, your profile settings will automatically be set to public, meaning anyone will be able to see the information you put there. It’s always a good idea to change these settings so that you can stay in control of who has access to your personal information, pictures, posts, and videos. Not sure how to change your privacy settings on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram? Check our guide or use the Help Centers built in to every social media site.Checking In
Facebook has a feature that lets you “check in” to movie theaters, restaurants, shops, and pretty much any place you want. And while this can be a great way to show off how awesome your life is, it’s also a way for people to track you down when you don’t want them to. Checking in shows where you are on a map, giving people an easy way to find you when you’re out. It also alerts people to when you’re not at home, making it possible for people to break in to your house when you’re not around. [Fun fact: This is how the “Bling Ring” broke into celebrities’ homes and stole millions of dollars of merchandise.] Even if a social media site doesn’t have a check in feature, you can still alert people to where you are and what you’re doing with the messages you send. Make sure you’re not making statuses or sending Tweets about where you’re going.Consequences of Social Media Use
As older teens headed toward the work force or college, you need to be aware of the consequences of your use of social media. Even if you profiles are set to private, make sure to keep an eye on what you are presenting to the public on your page. Future employers, college admissions, coaches, and even heads of social organizations will look at your social media. Many employers will look at your Facebook and Twitter before they finish reading your resume. Make sure that you are putting your best foot forward online. Don’t post inappropriate pictures of yourself or others (these can be pictures of a sexual nature, pictures of drug or alcohol use, etc) and don’t write anything you wouldn’t want your future boss to read. ThinkB4UClick! Also, if your pages are public, you should also be aware that authorities like your local police department may monitor your page if they are tipped off that you may be engaging in illegal behavior. You never know who could be looking at your profile!Internet media is extremely popular and there are so many videos, games, and other forms of media to consume. You can often meet new friends and have fun with Internet media. But the amount of different types of online media also means there are plenty of ways to find unsafe ways to participate and communicate.
Play Our Internet Safe Games
Before you sign up for or watch any online media, first ask your parents if it’s okay. You can show them the site and tell them a bit about why you want to join or play or watch. Have your parents check out the rating system and let you know if the game is safe to participate.
Keeping Yourself Safe with Games
Remember that like any other site online, not everyone you meet on a gaming website is going to be truthful about who they are. You should always be careful about who you are talking to and what you are telling them. Never give out personal information about yourself, especially your real name, your address, or your school’s name. You should also never share photos of yourself with people you meet online.
Gaming Addiction
Sometimes people can take online games very seriously. They are very competitive and want to be the best or win the most and are willing to do anything to do that.
It’s easy to get carried away with games because they let us see other worlds and be other people. But it’s important to remember that games are not real life. People will not die if you do not win a game or finish a quest.
Your health should always come before any online game. Make sure you are taking frequent breaks to rest your eyes and stretch your body. It can be easy to forget to eat and drink water while you’re in the middle of a really good game, but it’s important to do these things too.
Always report problems or inappropriate contact to a trusted grown-up or report Internet abuse online at B4UClick.
Being safe and having fun online is all about staying in control of your accounts, how people can find you, and the things you publish online. Remember, before you post, share, or say anything to anyone online, stop and think:
- Could this get me into trouble?
- Could this hurt someone’s feelings?
- Is this revealing personal information about myself?
- Do I really know the person I’m talking to?
- Talk to an adult you trust. If you feel comfortable, you can talk to your parents, a teacher, or another adult you trust about what’s happening.
- Talk to someone without getting in trouble. If you don’t feel comfortable talking to your parents or another relative, you can talk to a teacher or trusted adult.
- Report it. If you are worried about something someone has said or asked you to do online, you can use our talk portal to talk about the situation with someone who can help.

- Show your parent, teacher, or guardian.
- If it happened over a chat room or on a social site, report the person.

- Never download a file, a video, or music from a site you don’t trust.

- Block people who say mean or rude things to you. You don’t have to listen to someone being mean to you on social sites. Stop them in their tracks with the block button.
- Remember that you can’t get messages back after you send them. Just like real words, the things you say to people on instant messengers can hurt. Think before you say!

Just because you’re not technically an adult doesn’t mean that you don’t have rights. Even as a minor under the age of 18, you are protected by laws and rights that prevent people from taking advantage of you.
But this also means that you have responsibilities, too. Just because you’re not an adult doesn’t mean that you can do what you want and not get in trouble. Make sure you’re familiar with the following laws so that you can stay out of trouble and prevent other people from getting hurt.
Age of criminal responsibility: Even if you are not adult, you can still be held responsible for a crime you commit. Depending on the crime committed and the court where you are tried, you could be considered an adult and therefore go to an adult correctional facility as punishment. As a minor the age of prosecution begins at 10 years old.
Age of consent: Age of consent laws are reserved for the individual states, meaning that each state will have a different law. In general, though, anyone under the age of 16, 17, or 18 is considered a minor and is not able to reasonably consent to sex or sexual acts.
Even if you are above the age of consent in your state, remember that you don’t have to have sex if you don’t think you are ready. Sex is a big commitment and should be reserved for loving and trusting relationships.
No matter your age, if someone is pressuring you into having sex with them or doing sexual acts, it is called sexual abuse and is a crime. Talk to an adult you trust or call one of the safe agencies on our Who to Contact page about what’s happening.
Discrimination laws: If someone ever says mean or rude things to you because of the color of your skin, the way you look, the language you speak, or where you come from, they are breaking laws about anti-discrimination.
If someone continually makes fun of you over social media sites, texting, or online chatting, it is called cyberbullying. There are things you can do to stand up to cyberbullies—check out our page on it.
Cyberbullying: Anyone who says mean or rude things to you online that make you feel scared, threatened, or uncomfortable is being a cyberbully. Each state has its own laws about how to handle cyberbullying, but you should report any time someone makes you feel uncomfortable online, no matter how small or insignificant you think it is.
Sexting laws: Sexting may seem exciting and may make you feel like an adult, but if you’re not aware of the laws, you could get yourself or the person you’re sending pictures into a lot of trouble.
Sexting is considered a form of pornography, and there are many laws in place to protect teens from seeing or being used in pornography.
If you are under the age of 18 and send a naked selfie or picture of yourself with exposed genitals, the person who receives that photo on their phone or computer is technically breaking the law, even if that person is your boyfriend or girlfriend. However, if you are 18 and send a sext message or sexual photo to someone who is not 18, you are breaking the law, even if you’re just sending it to a friend or your boyfriend/girlfriend.
If someone ever pressures you into taking sexual or naked photos of yourself, it’s called sexual abuse. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want, even if the person asking is your boyfriend, girlfriend, or a member of your family. Talk to an adult you trust or use our Who to Contact page to find someone to talk to about how to stand up to and stop the situation.
