Instant messaging can be safe. As long as you don't give away ANY of your personal information. Except your first name. You can share your personal info with people you've met in real life, like friends from school or something. As long as you've met the person, and you've seen the person, and you know they are safe. Then you can give them it. But be very very careful when you do. Just be extra extra careful and you will be okay. Besides you can have loads of fun when you talk to friends. It's much easier than email, and much faster. Also, if someone suddenly sends you an instant message that you have no idea who its from, ask their name, and see if its someone you know. Or someone your friend knows. If you really think that they are ok, then talk to them. But if they seem dangerous in the slightest way, block them right away. Don't delete them from your buddy list, because then they can im you back. Just keep them on your list blocked. So, instant messaging can be fun, but very dangerous, so watch out. THE END.
