Chatting and messaging is when you are talking to anyone on any electronic devices. The good thing is that you get to talk to your family even if they are on the other side of the world.
There are many risks like people spamming you; somebody finding your house, making you click on a link that gives you a virus and cyber-bullying you.
If something goes wrong you should always tell a trusted adult.
1. Don't click mysterious links you find.
2. If a person asks for your password, tell you parents first.
3. Never reply to nasty messages.
4. Don't tell ANYONE personal information or even your address.
5. Don't ever do nasty things that random people tell you to do.
