📖 Short Story
Maria loves chatting with friends online. One day, she received a message from someone she did not know. The message asked for her full name and address. Maria almost shared it but stopped. She remembered to always be careful and not share private information with strangers. Instead, she told a parent about the message. Together, they blocked the stranger. Maria now feels safer and knows she can enjoy the internet without worry.
