When you are online, you are not just in the comfort of your own home. You are in public and you should act like you are in public. Assume that all your actions are being monitored at all times. Even in private conversations. If you wouldn't say something in the middle of a crowded restaurant, you probably shouldn't say it on social media or in a chat room. Don't say anything to anybody you wouldn't say to them face-to-face.
Always remember that there is a person behind every username you see online. Treat them with the same respect you would show someone in-person. Be aware of your physical and mental health. If being online is causing you to feel stress or anxiety, consider taking a break for a while. If you are spending so much time online or consuming media that you are neglecting to take care of yourself, the people around you, or you are not doing other important tasks that need to get done, consider limiting the time you spend online.
If your online activities or media consumption are causing problems in your life and you are not able to quit or limit the amount of time you spend doing these things, you may have an addiction that needs treatment.
