Now adays you cannot trust what you on the internet. It is rather sad really, because almost everything on the internet seems genuine. The people that fall for the simple tricks of fake internet identities will often end up kidnapped, raped or even dead.

It may seem trivial to protect yourself on the internet but everystep you take can keep you from the clutches of bad people. Some steps to take are do not disclose where exactly you live, i would even refrane from saying what town. Next do not tell them your last name. Your last name can narrow down a person search, especially if the person knows your first name as well.
Next, never post a picture of yourself when cannot be sure who all will see. Epecially on chats, people can enter the room and you would never even know they are there. Along the same lines, friending people on facebook from sites like this one is dangerous, because you cannot 100% know someone's identity. One last basic step. Never meet anyone you do not know from the internet in person. This blog is meant for your safety, and i wish more sights like dsipaint existed because most of the people on here follow these steps. It is your one and only life, protect it!
