Connecting with online friendships can feel natural and meaningful.

Whether through social media, gaming, or messaging apps, digital spaces make it easy to build relationships. But not everyone online is who they say they are, and it can be harder to recognize risk without face-to-face interaction. Because these connections feel real, it can be easy to trust too quickly or share more than intended.

Take time to understand:

• How online spaces shape the way we connect
• Why people may present themselves differently online
• What healthy digital boundaries look like
• How to recognize potential risks in online interactions
