ADAVNTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF CHATTING

Advantages of Internet chatting

·        > You meet new people

·         >You exchange your views about certain subjects

·        >You can relax because you don't have to see the person physically

·         >If you are shy this is a way of making friends

·       >  You can treat some special friends you've met like pen pals, but you are chatting instead of writing letters like they use to 20 years ago

Disadvantages of Internet Chatting

·         >You just never know whom you are talking too. It could be an older man who is a pervert and acting out   like he is young.

·         >You may trust this person and give out your full name; address; email addy; your phone/cell number. This is very dangerous! Tell me nothing when it comes to your identity.

·         >You may think you are falling in love with the person you are chatting with, but could live thousands of miles away and long distance relationships seldom work out.

·         >If you are shy you are far more vulnerable to being hurt by someone on the Internet and may slip up giving them too much information which they could use against you and cause a myriad of problems for you.

·         > Cyberstalking is at it's peak especially among teens. This means a group of kids (just for the heck of it) pick on one person and it's really getting out of control. There are threatens (often the group of teens will act on their threats if they live in the same area.)

·     > Cyberbullying is another problem. This is where one, two or more teens picks on another teen and constantly calls them names. Being young and stupid they don't realize what they have done and the suicide rate connected with this is going up in leaps and bounds.
