Accidentally opening a page with bad content

If you end up at a site that you know is not for you, click the “Back” button on the top of the screen. This will bring you back to the original web site that you were viewing. If you get “pop-ups” (usually small windows with unwanted ads), just keep closing the windows by clicking the X button until you are back on the original screen that you were looking at.

You should tell your parents/guardians what the web address was so that they can block the site from your computer. Many web browsers track web activity to make an Internet history. Your parents/guardians may be able to check what web sites you have looked at and remind you not to go to any sites that are not for teens.
