I need some privacy, gosh.



When most log onto their computer, they think that they are safe; they think that they are invincible. They will go onto chat-rooms and kinds of other websites. People all over the world can log onto the same page as you. There could be 1,000,000 people on the same thing as you are.
You may say that it's not a big deal, but it could be. Some people aren't very nice. There are creepers, pedophiles, and molesters that go into chatrooms and websites that kids our age like to go. They go in there and they have a different identity. They can be who-ever and whatever they want. They can be super deceitful and get information from you. They can get your age, whether you're a male or female, where you live, if you have any siblings, and anything they want to know about you. They can, because they are who they want to be, not who they are really.
Once they get that information, they can do what ever they want with it.  They could show up at your house, they could go out and meet you somewhere; they could even kidnap you and do horrible things to you. I know it's really horrible to think about, but it's always a possibility. Never think that something like that will never happen to you, cause it can. No one is special, no one is exempt for stuff like this.
So the next time you log on, make sure that you do not give out any personal information like: Photos, age, address, last name, where you go on the weekends, or what school  you go to.
Everyone here does a pretty good job about keeping their personal stuff personal. They don't post thing on the internet that shouldn't be there. If they do put something that is a little too identifiable, we are here to help them. We will let them know so that they can change it.
