A lot of sites you open a day, spending time to gain friendship and hoping to have a good relationship with people around the room. Being accommodating in questions like asl, hw r u and a lot more. You in your opinion does friendship coming from the chatting room sites become real? How about meeting people in just few couple of minutes or hours in some outings or vacation? Does all of them will become your real friends?

you have to be very careful when you are in a chat room. i have found a few people that i have talked to on like yahoo or something like that but i have never met them in real life. i am very cautious with something like that because you never really know who is on the other computer speaking to you. they could be someone that is not very nice that you truely want to meet. when i was younger i did speak to someone over the phone a few times but after that we grew apart. i have heard of a lot of people who have met their soul mate online or they met their best friend online so it is possible. i just can not say that i have done it personally. have you ever done this? or have you ever made friends online that become real friends?

Better to be careful enough! You had the point, we do not know what's there really intentions. Anyway, I was not yet encountered friends in online chatting and become real friends. It's very risky.

yes it is and i wish that the younger kids could realize this. you always hear about something happening to someone and it all started online. dont get me wrong there are a lot of nice people online but there are also a lot of people that seem nice at first and then you have the other people who have no good intentions at all. i think there should be more to signing into a chat room. i know that people would lie so i guess there would be no point in trying to change all that.

I used to chat before, in yahoo messenger- i rarely chat with strangers though, only people who may be connected to my friends. it is quite dangerous to be talking just to anybody..since lots of crimes happen because of social networks andchatting.

I don’t know how to answer a question like who are your real friends but I can say when you do meet someone that talks to you on a regular basis online about a variety of subjects and then isn’t there any longer it can leave a big hole in your heart. If that too is the risky part then I guess it is.
