Internet Sites



There are a lot of overprotective parents in this world. A lot of parents mind if there kids have a bebo or a myspace. I don’t see why because all kids aren’t stupid and all kids won’t do something that would get them in a bad situation. Some kids just go on there to talk to their friends. It’s not bad if your page is blocked to only your friends, that means that your friends can only be on your page and if you know your friends then it shouldn’t be a problem. On think that you should never do is share your password with anybody because you will never know if that person will turn their back on you and share your password with everybody. If you put your pictures on the internet you should always block them so that people that you want to see can only see them. I think that parents should ease up on kids and trust them more because kids can make their own decisions.

I thought that this was really big deal. I couldn’t believe some of the stuff that I read. It made me scared when I read about all of the sex offenders. I was shocked when I saw that the owners were putting people’s personal information out there. When I read about face book I was mad because how are they going to just change the rules when they feel like it, because if you agreed to follow some thing else than that is what you should follow. Not the things that they decide to change after you register. This taught me a good lesson though. Don’t make anything without your parents permission, and if you do don’t put your real information out there. Also I learned that you shouldn’t talk to anybody that you don’t know, because if there is a cute boy but you don’t know them it could be a sex offender undercover. Never meet strangers on the internet that you plan on meeting in public. This is so dangerous; it leads to many date rapes, killing, and abuse. It breaks parents hearts when they find out that their kids have been kid napped by somebody on the internet. All the times I hear about missing kids on the news.

My space I knew about all the kids that were getting kidnapped. To me if you keep your information to yourself you wouldn’t have the problems. To me it’s not that bad, if you put your page on private. I think that some kids get trapped if they see someone that they think looks cute. Also if you only had people that were your friends to your friends list, it would be a little safer. If you do talk to a stranger you shouldn’t give out your information you should use fake information.

I think that face book is a problem kind of only because they gave people their private information when they changed the rules.

Really though people act like we just go out and meet a predator. We will be mindful on who we are talking to.
