First discuss the Ten Commandments Of Computer Ethics. and Secondly discuss matters on computer protection like firewall, anti viruses, anti spams, honey pots and other applications. Also discuss computer and Internet related crimes. Do it systematically and with visual aids and you will hit the mark. With these compare it to real life situations and present bad result so that they will avoid it in the future. Also present good things if they will abide with these and note that they will get rewards a doing what is good.

Yep! Thats hard to do for two big reasons. Teens are discovering independance and preparing for it and secondly the net is an very easy way to visit, explore, pretend and lastly to be someone that thay are not that they wished they were. Thats a long sentence isnt it? I worked with kids at that age for a short stint as a school resource officer years back. You should probably bring in an officer to discuss incidents in which people were victims of violent crimes due to the use of a computer. It happens frequently. The information highway and cell phones have made it possible for people to be more private than they really should be. The two have been the cause of countless divorces because they give an easy avenue to act on impulse. They need to understand that pedophiles love the computer. In fact I left an answer to a kid on this very program about a month ago about this. The message was way way too personal. So grab a police officer who deals with that issue and invite that officer in to talk to them. That officer will normally have enough to get them to at least think and thats a start. Good luck!

Use REAL LIFE examples. They always enforce the point you are trying to make, and leave an impact and memory in the teenagers’ minds. Copying notes off the projector only work for so long…

Aware them about the frauds

Aware them for the consequences

Make them understand the value of time

Give good examples with figures(numaricals) such as recent case in court, funishment for jail , etc

Make them aware of future and their role in modern world

rest leave to them!

Always the same: Don’t talk to strangers.
