I think many teens aren't concerned with giving out personal information because they don't understand that these people can be lying to them. Amy started regretting sharing her personal information when she got the call saying he was waiting for her outside. The consequences of her sharing her information is now he has her address and phone number and all her other personal information and he can come back once he gets out of prison. If one of my friends told me they were thinking of meeting someone they met online in person, I would first tell them that not everyone is who they say they are then show them the videos we watched in class and tell them this could happen to you.
ReplyDeleteIn the Amy's choice video I think she regretted it once they got caught and he told her more things about how he did it before. The consequences were that she had to live with that her whole life, she didn't know if when he got out of jail if he would just come find her again. If one of my friends were to want to meet someone online I would talk them into not doing it, if they refused I would get help from my parents or my friends. I wouldn't want them to get hurt by someone they had no idea who it was. If my friend wanted to meet someone, I would show them what could happen by doing that and I would have them research it before going through with it.
ReplyDeleteteens arnt worried about giving away personal information because they dont think anyone would care or pay any attention to it.amy might have regretted giving her info out because he wanted to meet her.he new her location,number,adress,and more.if any of my friends try to talk to a stranger i would try to convince them to forget about it and its to dangerouse.if they didnt listen to me i would have to tell someone to help.
ReplyDeleteI think many teens aren't really concerned aboutgiving out their personal information because they don't think that those things can or will happen to them.I think Amy regretted giving out her personal information the second time she ran away after her "friend" had come to her house. She feels a huge empiness and she will never forget that errible experience all because she gave out her personal information.I would tell them to tell their parents and have them go with them to meet the guy or girl, and so that when they tell their parents, they will probably call the cops.
ReplyDeleteI don't think many teens are very concerned about putting information online because they don't think it will ever happen to them. Amy seemed to start regreting sharing personal information online when she got the call from her offender that he was sitting out side of her house waiting for her. After Amy put her information out there she ran away and also sent a man to jail, even though they both knew what they were doing was wrong. If anyone told me that they were planning on meeting someone online i would do anything i could to stop them because chances are that if they did i would never see them again, i would diffiently tell an adult.
ReplyDeleteAmt regretted giving out her personal information when she ran away and got caught with the guy heading to Reno. She got probably got banned from the internet with her parents. I woyld tell them I would tell them no becasue they don't know where they are going and don't even know the guy in real life. They are pretty much setting themselves up for a death trap.
ReplyDeleteI think teens aren't concerned with giving out personal information because they don't think about the future consequences or what might happen to them
ReplyDeleteThe way her voice sounded it sounded like she regretted doing what she did.
The consequences of her sharing personal information was she was afraid because the guy threatened that he would kill her when he got out
If a friend confided to me that they were thinking about meeting someone online,I would tell them not to and explain the consequences of doing that
The reason teens aren't concerned about giving out personal information is that they think every one is their friend.
ReplyDeleteYes The conseqences were that the person they were talking to has their information forever.
If a friend confides me to meeting the I would report this person right away.
Many teens are not concerned about giving out their personal information online because they do not believe that they will be a victim of what an online predator does to someone. I believe that Amy regretted giving her personal information out when she recieved a message that the man was outside her house waiting for her. The consequences of her giving out her information is now that the man is in prison, when he gets out he may want revenge and come back to her house to get her. If a friend wanted to go meet a person that they met online, I would tell them that they are really dumb for doing that and could be really hurt.
ReplyDeleteI think many teens are not concerned with giving out personal information because everyone thinks it will never happen to THEM. I think in the Amy's Choice video Amy started regretting sharing her personal information when she got the call that he was waiting for her. Also, she realized all of the dangers that could have happened when she recieved the threatening letter. The consequences of her sharing her personal information was the fear of him coming back to get her after he gets out of prison. If on friend ever told me that he or she were thinking of meeting a person they met online I would let them know of all of the possible outcomes and try to talk them out of it. If they still insisted in going I would not let him or her go alone.
ReplyDeleteI think many teens arent really concerned about there personal information that they put out on the internet.
ReplyDeleteWhen her friend told her that the stranger was waiting at her door.
Amy got into the car and was taken away, the man was sent to prison.
I would say no
Most teen are not concerned because they think that the person there talking to was never going to meet them. I think she regretted it after she got a call saying that the online guy she was talking to was out side of their house.The consequences she had to face are that she was abducted and was on the road to Rio.If my friend was thinking about meeting up with a person they don't know i would force them not to then speak with there parents about it so they don't.
ReplyDeleteI think many teens aren’t concerned with giving out their personal information because they’re naïve. They don’t understand that what they do can have consequences and like they say in the videos they don’t believe that it could ever happen to them. At the part where Amy says she didn’t want to run away the second time is when I believed she regretted sharing her personal information. The consequences of her sharing her personal information is that that guy know where she lives and has all her information that he could look her up the second he gets out of prison and come back for her. If a friend ever told me they were planning on meeting someone in person that they met online I would tell them that it was a horrible idea and I would tell them all the worst case scenarios I could come up with and then even if they agreed not to go I would tell their parents to make sure they didn’t.
ReplyDeleteTeens aren't very concerned with giving out personal information because they think that nothing bad could happen to them. I think she regrets it when the person she was talking to made actual contact. By calling her and waiting for her. It really freaked her out and she wished she hadn't let it happen. By sharing her information, the man could find her and it put her and her family in danger.
ReplyDeleteI would tell them to stop immediately or give out fake information and then stop. Then I would tell them about the dangers of it.
I think teens aren't concerned with giving out personal info because they do not think about the future concequencesor what might happen to them.
ReplyDeleteThe way she was talking and the way her voise sounded was that she had regret what she did.
The consequences of her sharing personal information was she was afraid because the guy threatened that he would kill her when he got out
If a friend confides me to meeting the I would report this person right away.
lol
DeleteI think that teens think that this kind of stuff will ever happen to them so they don’t care what they put up on the internet. Amy probably regretted putting her information online when the guy showed up at her house. After she got caught for running away the guy ended up going to jail and now she is afraid that when he gets out, since he has her information that he will come after her. If one of my friends came to me and told me that they are thinking about meeting someone that they met online I would tell them that if they do it they could be very hurt and that I will go to a adult about this if I find out they did anyway. I don’t want to see my friends hurt so I would do anything to keep them safe even if they ended up hating me for it.
ReplyDeleteI think that most teens aren't concerned with giving out information because they don't actually realize what the consequences of it could be. They trust that people are who they say they are online. Also, teens always think "that couldn't ever happen to ME."
ReplyDeleteI think that Amy regretted sharing her personal information when she thought about what could've happened, and about how when he gets out of prison he can come find her again and worse things can happen.
I would tell them not to go and to stop talking to them since they have no idea who they are. If they don't listen and choose to go still, I would probably tell a trusted adult.
I think the majority of teenagers are naive, they think it'll never happen to them. Or they think that if they have a private profile, or they hide all their information that it's only available to whom they allow to see it, but NOTHING is private on the internet.
ReplyDeleteAmy definitely regretted giving out her information after the guy she had been talking to over the web had showed up at her door. She claims she had ran away, but in reality she was really abducted for two days. Luckily the man and Amy were caught.
If one of my friend's, or anyone told me that they wanted to meet or were actually going to meet someone they met via internet, I'd probably smack some sense into them, literally. I wouldn't lecture them about how dangerous it is because they should already know that at this point, but I'd do everything in my power to keep them from making it happen.
Teenagers are naive and trust people too easily. We also have this feeling of invinicibility as if nothing bad could ever happen to us.
ReplyDeleteI think shem most regretted giving out her personal information when she got the phone call saying he was outside of her house. the consequences were that she got abducted.
If one of my friends said they planned on meeting someone in person they met online I wouldnt try to stop them. If this is really what they wanted to do they're not going to care about a word that I say. I'd go with them instead because chances are the person they're meeting is going to come alone and if they try to pull something then we'll be able to get away because there's two of us and only one of them.
Most teens aren't concerned with giving out their personal information because they think that it's just for their friends and that no one will actually see it besides the people that they want to. Amy regretted sharing her personal information when she thought about the "others" and how she was just another one on the list. Also when she thought about him getting out of prison and coming to find her. If I had a friend who was planing on meeting someone online I would tell them not to go and give them reasons why not. Also I would give them examples of what has happened to other people who have met someone online, and if that didn't work and they were going to do it anyway I would probably tell their parents, because I couldn't live with the fact that I let my friend go meet someone and then they were found dead and I knew about it all along.
ReplyDeleteI think that the reason teens aren't concerned with giving out personal information online because they don't know the concequinces that could come out of it. I think Amy began to regret giving out her information when the man was actually waiting for her outside her house the second time they got together. She realized that he actually knew way to much about her and could use what he knew in a bad way. If any of my friends told me that they were planning on meeting a complete stranger I would advise them not to and I would tell as many trusted adults as possible. I would try to get them to understand all of the dangers that could come along with meeting this person.
