Internet Safety is very important!  Millions of users everyday log onto chat sites to talk with friends and see what is going on in the world.  Trust me, the internet is very useful.  But, with a lot of useful things, comes responsibility.  One of them is to be safe! Duh!

Some people don’t realize there are a lot of bad things in all the internet traffic.  There can be cookies, viruses, and etc.  There can be hackers, stalkers, or petifiles online too.  People are stupid sometimes.  They think they have to stalk someone for some reason.  You have to be careful who you talk to online… They can be dangerous.

One of the most other important thing is netiquette.  You might be able to stay away from bad people, but u have to make sure you don’t become one yourself.  If you meet someone online, make sure you don’t ask where they live, or what school they go to.  Even though your not one of those people who stalk, you can make the person you talk to think you’re one.  Be careful at what you say.

In conclusion, be careful who you talk to.  Make sure you don’t give any information out.  Make sure you don’t meet up with anyone you don’t know.  Also, don’t act like a type of bad person to someone, they might think your someone your not.  So, Be careful using the internet, it’s useful, but you have to have responsibility.

Teens should have cell phones for many reasons.  There are so many reasons there impossible to count. There’s getting permission from parents.  There’s Telling your parents where you are, and ect.  I use my phone a Lot.  I call my parents all the time to tell them where I am and where I’m going.  My sister has used her phone for calling for help, even.

My Sister, Courtnie, got in a car accident once.  She was able to use her phone to call for help.  If she didn’t have her phone, my parents would have no idea what was going on.  I will have my cell phone with me when I drive.  Because I know its more then likely I’ll Need It. XD
