Paragraphs
Select and Copy the text below and paste it (CTRL+V) into the rows as shown below…
Never share your name, school, age, phone number, or address. If you're posting a profile, don't include any info which could help to identify you offline.
People aren't always who they say they are on the Internet. Anyone can pose as a "buddy of a buddy."
When you post something online, you lose control of it. It can be cut and pasted and sent around the Web.
Don't say mean things, and never arrange to meet anyone face-to-face whom you've 'met' on the internet - for any reason!
Any comment or image you post online may stay online forever because removing the original does not remove any copies that other people made.
Your document should now look like this.
There may be extra space/lines after each paragraph here….
Click on the empty line in the first row …
…and Backspace to delete it.
Repeat for the other rows.
