Our Personal Experience with Unsafe Internet Practices

There are many experiences I have had with unsafe internet practices. But I will only tell a story on one that I remember well. One day when I was researching on the internet and I was on my myspace also, 2 unusual events had occurred. I had been researching on a topic of pimples for my advanced technology class and I had been looking for pictures to put on my keynote. I tried searching 'Vanessa Hudgens Pimples' but I had accidently just typed in Vanessa Hudgens and come to find out there were many unappropriate pictures of her that really bothered me. So instead I searched up Miley Cyrus. I found appropriate pictures finally ^__^ Aha. Anyways, I went on a break to go on myspace. I had a new friend request. It was this guy who was around his 30's and he asked if I would like to be friends, so I said "Sure, why not." Then, he had told me that he would like to meet me ALONE at a park so we could do some specific things. I then became so afraid I deleted him and never ever add people I don't know. A lesson well learned (: What was very ironic though, was that the next day I was watching a rerun of Degrassi and then it was the episode where the girl talks to this online predator he faked his age and everything and then he went to her house and was talking to her and stuff. It freaked me out, but at least her sister had called police and had him arrested before he could attempt anything. This told me that I should NEVER add people I don't know because bad things may happen.
