Meeting Someone Online

If you do not already do so, this is a time to begin to use the Internet to help with schoolwork and other activities and interests. As you begin to explore, keep in mind that not everything you see or read on line is true or valuable.

**Meeting Someone Online** - Be careful of your e-pals. They usually do **NOT** turn out to be who you think they are. Statistics show that many kids have been kidnapped and killed or violated after they have **VOLUNTARILY** left their own homes to meet their **“e-pal”**. - If you must chat, make sure you chat in moderated chat areas that are fun by reputable companies or organizations. If you are unsure about where you can find these, talk to your teacher or parents.
