Sørg for et stærkt fællesskab til at bakke dig op Desværre er gaming-verdenen ikke altid et positivt sted! Nogle gange vil det føles, som om nogen mennesker er fast besluttet på at give dig en negativ oplevelse. Men i stedet for at fokusere på trolls kan du fokusere på at have mennesker omkring dig, som du kan regne med altid vil være med til at skabe et sikkert og rart miljø. Hvis trollsene ser jer have det sjovt og arbejde sammen mod et fælles mål, vælger de måske endda at være med til alt det sjove i stedet – i sidste ende opfører de fleste af dem sig bare irriterende, fordi de ikke har noget bedre at tage sig til! Hvis nogen bliver ved med at irritere dig ... Det er vigtigt at tale med nogen, du kan stole på, hvis du føler dig generet af andre online – også selv om de måske ikke mener det så slemt. Vær aldrig bange for at sige det højt, hvis du føler dig udsat – når man er sammen om problemerne, fylder de mindre. Har du tabt et spil? Så bare grin ad det! Det er okay at være konkurrencemenneske, bare man ikke glemmer, at det er meningen, gaming skal være sjovt. Man vinder ikke alle kampe, og det er okay! Hvert nederlag er en mulighed for at forbedre sig I starten af hver måned sætter jeg mig nogle mål, som jeg kan gå efter. Det er en god måde for mig at holde motivationen på, selv når jeg nogle dage ikke spiller så godt. I stedet for at se på det at tabe som en dårlig ting ser jeg det som en måde at lære nye ting på i stedet. Det er vigtigt at huske, at ingen opnår noget fra den ene dag til den anden. Hvis ikke vi begår fejl, kan vi heller ikke forbedre os! Husk at holde pauser Det er rigtig vigtigt med balance, når du gamer! Jeg ved godt, at det er virkelig nemt at blive suget ind i et spil, men du skal huske at komme tilbage til Jorden på et eller andet tidspunkt. Lav motion, ring til en ven, arbejd på den opgave, du har udsat, eller leg med din hund – gør lige præcis det, der gør dig glad! Gaming er sjovt, men det bør aldrig være din eneste prioritet.

Multiplayeren er altid i gang med et spil på sin telefon, tablet, konsol eller computer. Det er ikke noget problem at spille under tandbørstningen eller aftensmaden. At tabe et spil kan forvandle Multiplayeren til en Ondert, der glemmer at være rar mod sine venner. Er det nogensinde sket for dig? Fortæl os det i kommentarerne nedenfor!

Der er rigtig mange gode måder til at holde kontakten med sine venner online. Det er supersjovt at chatte – men hvis er lige så vild med at chatte som Chattehovedet, skal du passe på, du ikke bliver til en Megadeler, der fortæller alle sine hemmeligheder! Hvad kan du godt lide at snakke med dine venner om?

En Ondert kan ødelægge alt det sjove med ubehagelige kommentarer eller endda mobning online. Hvis det sker for dig, er det bedst at tale med en voksen, du stoler på, som kan hjælpe dig med at finde ud af, om du skal blokere og rapportere personen. Har du nogensinde mødt en Ondert online, og hvad gjorde du?

Det Storøjede Monster kan være dig, når du har set videoer eller spillet online alt for længe. Hvis du minder lidt om Chattehovedet eller Multiplayeren, kan du nemt blive til det Storøjede Monster efter alt for mange timer foran en skærm. Hvad gør du, når du tager en pause fra skærmen?

En stor del af det, der gør det så sjovt at være online, er at se fjollede videoer og grine højt! Vores ven Fniseren elsker at se videoer, spille spil og have det sjovt online. Nogle gange endda så meget, at det bliver svært at komme væk fra skærmen. (Storøjet Monster-alarm!!) Lyder det bekendt? Hvad får dig til at grine mest, når du er online?

Folk er ikke altid dem, de udgiver sig for online ... og det kan være virkelig svært at gennemskue, om nogen er den, de siger, eller om de lader, som om de er en anden. Her er nogle af de tegn, du kan være på udkig efter. Nogen, du ikke kender, bliver meget hurtigt lidt for venlig   Nogen beder dig om at dele personlige oplysninger   Nogen spørger, om I skal mødes offline   Nogen er først venlig, men bliver så pludselig ondskabsfuld   Hvis du nogensinde føler dig ubehageligt til mode, kan du altid forlade samtalen og snakke med en voksen, du stoler på, som kan hjælpe dig.

Nobody likes feeling left out, in real life or online, right? It’s just not a nice feeling. So how do you make sure it doesn’t happen, to yourself or anyone around you when you’re playing and interacting online? #SaferInternetDay2020 #FreeToBeMe

The internet…a huge playground for everyone to learn, play, connect to others and be creative. What’s not to like? It’s a huge space, where it can feel that everything is possible… But just as in real life…there are good things and there are… not so good things. Things that you might want to change. If you were president of the internet…how would you rebuild it to make it better? #SaferInternetDay2020 #FreeToBeMe

If you are out and about alone in real life, and interacting with people you don’t know, you have to be a bit careful and make sure you stay safe. It’s exactly the same online…your safety is important. Here are a few tips for staying safe online… #1 Keep your eyes open Make sure you know the rules about how to behave and stay safe on the sites, games and apps you like to use. Find out how to block or report things that make you or other people feel bad or left out and always ask for help if there things you’re not sure about. #2 Be Yourself but don’t give away your details! Don’t tell people where you live or any other personal information about yourself or your friends and family and make sure you check with an adult before trying to sign up/download new games or apps. #3 Be Cool to Others Put yourself in the place of others…and think about how what you say and do online might make others feel. You want people to be respectful of you so it just makes sense that you are respectful too, right? Don’t share other people’s info or details. #4 Be Helpful If you see someone in real life who was struggling, would you help or walk away? You help, right? Same thing online…Be kind to others and support your friends if they are having a tough time. Show them how to block and report or go with them to talk to a parent or teacher. #5 Speak Up If you are ever unsure about something you see online, or anything makes you feel worried, upset or confused then ask a trusted adult for some help and advice. What other tips would you give to your friends about keeping safe online? #SaferInternetDay2020 #FreeToBeMe

Safety first! Just like in real life, you have to take a bit of care when you interact with others online. Here are some SMART tips for being safe online.  Safe: Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal information when you're chatting or posting online. Personal information includes your email address, phone number and password. Meet: Meeting someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous. Only do so with your parents' or carers' permission and even then, only when they can be present. Remember online friends are still strangers even if you have been talking to them for a long time. Accepting: Accepting emails, messages, or opening files, images or texts from people you don't know or trust can lead to problems — they may contain viruses or nasty messages! Reliable: Someone online might lie about who they are and information on the internet may not be true. Ask your parents to help you check information by looking them up in multiple places. Tell: Tell a parent, carer or a trusted adult if someone, or something, makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, or if you or someone you know is being bullied online. #SaferInternetDay2020 #FreeToBeMe

How you choose to express yourself online is part of what makes you…well, you! That’s the great thing about being online – you are FREE TO BE ME (or rather you). No matter whether you choose to look like yourself…or a dragon in your online identity, underneath it all, you can still act like yourself, and let others be themselves too! Why not show your parents how you choose to express yourself online and talk to them about it? #SaferInternetDay2020 #FreeToBeMe

Equal rights online! One of the coolest things about the internet and being online is that you are free to just be yourself and express yourself, without worrying what people think. That’s the idea anyway…but we all have a responsibility to make sure that this happens by treating everyone equally, and with respect. What do you do when you meet someone online who is very different to you? #SaferInternetDay2020 #FreeToBeMe

When you are online, it can feel like a completely separate space to real life. It is fun to be yourself and express who you are online, but it’s important to also stay safe and not tell other people important things about your real life. Just like in real life, there are dangers online and not everyone is who they seem.  For you to keep having fun online and staying safe in real life, you just need to take a bit of care.  Here are three rules that will help: Be Cool Treat people how you want to be treated. Avoid words that can hurt people. If you wouldn’t say it out loud, don’t say it online.  Be Heard If you see anything you’re not comfortable with, tell someone you trust right away. Make sure your parents or carer know what you’re doing online.  Be Safe Pick usernames that don’t give away personal information. Only share your passwords with your parents or carers  - don’t even tell your best friends. Keep you name, age, school, phone number and address secret! #SaferInternetDay2020 #FreeToBeMe
