3. NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, THE SCHOOL YOU GO TO, OR YOUR PHONE NUMBER.
4. KEEP YOUR MESSAGES SHORT AND TO THE POINT.
5. IT’S OKAY TO USE “SMILEYS” TO SHOW THE READER YOU ARE JOKING, BUT DO NOT USE THEM TOO MUCH.
6. TRY TO USE ACRONYMS OR SHORTER WAYS OF SAYING WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY, E.G. LOL MEANS LOT’S OF LOVE, OR BFN, BY FOR NOW. IF YOU THINK THE PERSON YOU ARE WRITING TO MAY NOT KNOW WHAT IT MEANS, PUT A QUICK EXPLANATION BESIDE THE ACRONYM.
