Wow I found this-> http://enough.org/inside.php?id=2UXKJWRY8 article and I can't say I'm surprised but really how stupid can some teenagers be. I mean I've done some of the stuff on the list but none of the really stupid things such as putting where I live anywhere on the internet where people could access it. This makes me want to go and remove some stuff from Facebook though. I just can't believe how many teens would willingly give out personal information about themselves to people on the internet that they don't know.
But some of the things like wanting to meet people you met over the internet is actually a little bit ridiculous of a question. Of course we would like to meet the people we meet over the internet but of course we would never actually do it. At least that's how I feel. According to this study though a lot of teens actually meet with the people they meet over the internet! My thing about the internet if you don't know the person then don't give them any personal information that would allow them to get to you. If you meet someone over the internet you can never be sure of anything about that person. Not anything- name, age, gender, nothing. Why? Because people lie. Most REGULAR conversations people have are partially false on the internet the person your talking to could be anyone. So my advice to other teens Don't Give Out Personal Info!!!!
Ok rant over,
