The Internet is a wonderful tool which puts the world and all its information at our fingertips. However, this ease of access is paving the way for massive growth in Internet-based crime such as identity theft and predators. All students need digital citizenship skills to participate fully in their communities and make smart choices online and in life. It's also important to be aware of and recognize cyberbullying activity so it can be stopped.
Ask yourself if your goals are realistic and within your reach now, or at least things that you can start to work toward. Then get really specific about what the goal is, not "to work our more" but "to walk 30 minutes a day, three times this week," or "I'll eat a salad for lunch twice this week." Write it down and reward yourself for every step you take toward that goal!
