Re: ideas needed

Putting into perspective is good.  "if you share X information... Someone can use it and do Y".

Sharing location information could make them a target for crimes such as theft, harassment or assault.  This could 
include:
-pictures of them in a school or team uniform
-GPS information in photo uploads
-checkins to 4square
-photos of them in recognizable locations

Sharing information about their identity could lead to identity theft, fraud or be used to reveal where they are 
located.
-don't share passwords
-don't share credit card numbers or other ID related information

Hope this helps.
