                        3.    A spam email usually goes straight to your Spam/Junk folder because your
                            email app knows it is not safe and has a setting to catch it automatically.
                        4.    If you delete a message from a group chat on WhatsApp, it is removed
                            from everyone’s phone instantly and no one else can see it again.

                        5.    The safest way to talk to a stranger on a gaming app is to avoid private
                            chats and inform a parent or guardian.

                                       “Knowing the dangers like phishing and cyberbullying is only the first step.

                                        The real protection comes from using good manners and digital etiquette.
                                           Remember, polite behaviour matters online just as much as offline.”

                     EMAIL AND MESSAGING ETIQUETTE

                     Email and messaging etiquette refers to the polite and responsible behaviour you should follow
                     while communicating online. The way you write, the words you choose and the tone you use can
                     affect how others understand your message. Good etiquette helps you build positive relationships,
                     avoid misunderstandings and maintain a respectful digital environment.

                     When you use polite language, think before replying and stay calm even in confusing situations,
                     you  show maturity  and responsibility.  These habits  also help prevent conflicts  and make
                     conversations smoother. Practicing good etiquette ensures your messages are clear, respectful
                     and safe to share.

                     For example, if a student types a rude comment in a group chat without thinking, the message
                     can be later shown to the teacher, which can cause embarrassment. So, a little kindness in words
                     can prevent big problems.

                     Good manners and polite communication help us build healthy relationships everywhere. Let us
