You should not give out information like your telephone number and address to people you don\u2019t know. Safer to meet a new friend\u00a0in a public place, than to give them your address before knowing them.<\/p>\n<p>Once you post something on the Internet (even if you later delete it), it can show up elsewhere.\u00a0 Unless you have specific permission from your\u00a0host family, you should never\u00a0post pictures of them, their children or their home on the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a blog or website where you post in your native language, remember there is translation software.
