Here are some healthy habits that you can start doing today and every day. One. Think before you share online. Everything we do online tells others what kind of person we are. So before you text a post something, ask yourself. Would I want the whole world to see this? Or how are my family or friends feel if I post this? Ask these questions to make sure that you do things online that are positive, helpful, or safe. Two. Lock yourself up online and do it often. Everything you do online leaves a digital footprint. If someone did a search about you online, what would they find? Look up your name and usernames online once in a while to see if there's anything you want to keep private. If you find something that you don't like, ask a grown-up for help to remove it. No matter what you find, it's a good idea. And if you find something that worries you, ask a grown-up for help. Three. Use the Internet to learn something new. Like play guitar. Speak another language. Cook. Code. Make videos, or to help you with your homework. Four. Use the Internet to help others. You can raise money for a good cause, or raise awareness about things that you care about, like the environment, or for animals who may need a home. 5. Use your talents to enter online contests. If you like to write, draw, make videos, perform, or code, there are so many contests online. It's a great way to show people what you're good at, and who knows. You might even win a prize. 6.
