#12 risky online behavior

SHEYNA
1. camp. I talk to him during the evenings.
2. Nick is in college, 23-24
3. Kinda because its a difference in age but I dont want him to lose his job. Hes got that stability that and its a good feeling knowing I can get that new pink pastel nintendo DS. But like I think he would cheat on me cause he says im really muture and he likes about me.
4. well he asked me to send him a picture of me in my bathing suit from camp but its not like I did anything too risky because its a bathing suit everyones sees bathings.

5. Sheyna as your friend i you should be very careful cause you dont even know him. and hes keeping you a secret and like, what if he has a college girlfriend you dont know about. what is hes a pedo?
6. I know this is sensitive for you cause you really like him but i think you should watch out for yourself. In all honesty youre not going marry this him. besides itll be forever til you actually get to come out and say hes your boyfriend. what if you get pregnant. you could aids and die.
7. Sheyna please take my advice your parents would be very upset. you dont even know him. hes hiding you. and this is illegal. havent you ever watched "to catch a predator" date someone your own age bestie. im just looking out for you<3

• Change it up. If something feels like it might be getting risky, it probably is. But if you're not sure, try changing the subject, making a joke, or saying you want to talk about something else. If you still feel pressured by or uncomfortable with the situation, you need to take further action.
• Log off or quit. You need to remember that at any time you can just stop typing and log off if a conversation gets uncomfortable online. You can also take action to block or report another user or create a new account - whether for email, IM, or a virtual world- to avoid contact with that person again.
• Know that it's okay to feel embarrassed or confused. It's not always easy to make sense of situations that make you feel uncomfortable online. Nor is it easy to ask for help if you feel embarrassed about what you've experienced. These feelings are normal, and it's okay to talk about them.
• Talk to a friend or a trusted adult. Don't be afraid to reach out. Even if you feel you can handle a tricky situation alone, it's always a good idea to turn to friends, parents, teachers, coaches, and counselors for support.
