Online Safety and Social Networking

For the past two days, we've been talking about Online Safety and you have just finished watching three videos at http://www.netsmartz.org/:  Julie's Journey, Tracking Teresa, and Amy's Choice. 

Please comment on this post your response to the questions below:

1. In your opinion, why aren't many teens concerned with giving out personal information online? 
2. At what point in the Amy's Choice video, do you believe that Amy regretted sharing her personal information?  What were the consequences of her sharing her personal information?
3. If a friend confides in you that he or she was thinking of meeting in person someone that they met online, what would you say and/or do?

After you have commented on this post, do your own search and find a news article related to someone being victimized by a person they met online.  Summarize that article and share your initial reaction to the article as well as ways you feel this could have possibly been prevented.  Post the summary and your thoughts on your personal blog in a post titled "Online Safety."
