Don't post anything on a a social networking site which gives your real name, address, school, phone number or which will allow a stranger to contact you in real life. Make sure you don't ID your friends either.

Don't upload anything that might might embarrass you at a later date. You might not realise it but things you post on the internet now could come back to cause problems for you later on, for it to be shown to the world then do not hit send. Remember once you send it you have lost control over of that lost control of that image or comment.
