By avoiding self-recognition software. I am very critical about providing my details on software and many internet places as you do not know who is seeing your details and also by avoiding logging into unknown websites.

I am not online every day, but what I do to keep myself safe is avoid bad comments. Whenever I see that the comments are a lot, I switch off my phone.

I protect myself by ignoring social bullies. If they continue to bully me, I block and archive them and develop a culture of reporting.

I always zoom into my pictures to make sure that nothing related to my location is showing in that picture. Also by posting content from a trip at least a day or two after just to be sure that people do not know my current location.

Eliakim Helao (17)

I limit my time on the internet and make sure that any picture posted has no location or personal information. I also make sure to post appropriate content and report and block any kind of page with wrong content.

Alina Negumbo (14)

I take time off the phone and from social media and also by keeping myself aware about the world around, not forgetting to ignore the online negativity.

Enginia Tjikere (16)

I keep myself safe by not replying to people I do not know and keeping myself safe from people I do not know.
