I was also told as a child never to speak to strangers, and it is good advice for children. It is very important that children and young people don't arrange to meet alone with someone they only know from the internet. I do think it's nice to be friendly and I enjoy chatting with people. I often exchange smiles and greetings with strangers when I'm out. I don't start conversations with strangers, unless they look as if they need help. I'm quite happy to talk with anyone who wants to talk with me, and I have had some interesting conversations with strangers. Every friend is a stranger before they become a friend!

I do talk to people whom I met in the bus or in other public places only when they ask me. Whatever they asked that's the only answer that i will give and i will not give any follow - up answers to them. For me, it would be rude if they ask something and you will not answer them, but if you think that they are abusing you well maybe that's the time to ignore him. I used to meet people whom i chatted on the internet. It's not really dangerous. It would be dangerous if you meet him alone and if you meet on private places. All you have to do is be cautious. Everywhere there is danger, even in the person whom you used to know.

I don't mind talking to people in public that I've come across. It doesn't bother me one bit. I feel like since we're in public that talking is quite OK. I don't see anything wrong with it. I see it as common courtesy.

Hi, I don't talk to strangers anywhere; unless they are asking me questions or directions. But I won't encourage them to continue the conversation after I've replied. I have not met anyone I knew through the internet; I don't think I would!

For me, i am ok to chat with unknown person or stranger. But the principle is the questions ask should not be personal related topic. If the person just to ask for some guidelines for the places, i am happy to help them. Of course, sometimes i do see student doing survey for their project, for that, i am also ok as i have been the one before, is difficult to get people to answer those, so i would like to help out them too.
