Food For Thought....

Can you be really good friends with people online?

This is a constant debate that several people have. I have never really paid much thought to it until it actually affected me. I have a few good friends here in 'real life' but I also have several online friends. Some of them are very good friends too.

But there is always that doubt that they may not be who they say they are. I've never been to worried about this. Maybe I'm a bit to trusting, but with the exception of a few, my trust has not seemed to be abused. And none of the issues I've had with people online were any of those creepy stalker types.

So all in all I see no problem with befriending people online. I understand being weary with the information you share with others. But just because you cant tell someone where you live doesnt mean you cant be friends with them.

on a side note, I also understand that many people have not had the same experience online as I have. And that the internet can be a very dangerous place for someone. you never really know who that person who just sent you a friend request is. Or that stranger who just send you and instant message. And you really do need to be careful who you talk to. Consider what you're saying to. Always think before you accept any requests from people you dont know. Being careful online will help you enjoy it.

A big thanks to Del, Mori, Cappers, Kiba, Tar, Fuzz, Xani, and Saria, for not being the creepers.
And putting up with me ^^
