The following is an excerpt from my book, "Netiquette IQ . . ." If you wish to understand some of the elements which contribute negatively to our children's and young adults communication, this is a great advanced summation. For a closer look at the book, follow the links below
Our
technological powers increase, but the side effects and potential hazards also
escalate.

Epolicy for children
One
of the most sensitive segments of epolicy and Netiquette is the area of
children’s usage of email and the Internet. These are some of the major
categories to consider:
- Rules
- Bullying
- Safety
- Courtesy
- Education
- Emergency aid and assistance
Application of Netiquette, good habits,
and correct grammar are essential routines throughout life. Negative patterns
can easily end up being used in school and social life into adulthood. No one
will dispute the absolute need to have protection for children using email and
the Internet. The same principles apply to texting, social groups, and other
popular online activities. However, there are other
Young
people are now increasingly using electronic communication in lieu of
face-to-face, written, or telephone contact. Arguably, children and young
adults who have begun their methods of communications via email, Twitter, and texting have decreased knowledge of basic formal
writing skills and Netiquette. Unfortunately, these habits and
behavior translate into not only the items mentioned above but also may also
promote behavior that allows for and facilitates lack of respect, abundance of
informality, and the inability to understand the measure one’s words have on
others.
Safety
The
premiere consideration when children and young people access the Internet,
email, texting, or Twitter is safety. In order to maximize this, it is
critical to educate and provide a list and processes for young users. These
rules offer a good comprehensive starting point to provide for young people that
considers their point of view:
1. Never use
communicative technology when biking, driving, crossing busy streets, or in
hazardous situations.
2. Always ask your
parents’ permission before using your full name, address, telephone number, or
school name anywhere on the Internet.
3. Always tell your
parents or guardian if you see something online that you know is wrong or that
makes you feel uncomfortable.
4. Don’t respond to
messages that make you feel uncomfortable or uneasy.
5. Never give out a
credit card number or password online.
6. Never send out your
picture without your parents’ permission.
7. Be careful when
someone offers you something, such as gifts or money, for nothing.
8. Don’t ever accept a
gift or an offer that involves having someone visit your house.
9. Never arrange to
meet someone in person whom you’ve met online, unless you discuss it with your
parents and an adult goes with you.
10. Talk to your
parents to set up rules for going online. Decide with them the best time of day
to be online, the length of time to be online, and appropriate areas to visit.
11. Get to know your “online
friends” just as you get to know all of your other friends. Be sure that you
are dealing with someone whom you and your parents know and trust before giving
out any personal information about yourself via email.
12. Be respectful.
13. Avoid electronic
bullying.
14. Do not open
attachments from senders you do not know.
15. Do not deploy
spyware or any other malicious or compromising programs or software.
16. Do not use other
people’s email accounts.
17. Report email abuses.
18. Educate your
friends when you see they do not follow these guidelines.
21. Do not criticize
people who might read your message later. Any mail can be forwarded or
inadvertently sent.
22. Remember: whatever
you write will be stored somewhere forever.
24. Tell others to stop
when they use foul language.
25. log
off
immediately when done.
26. Do not be afraid to
ask a trusted adult for guidance.
