My parents don't want me talking to people on the internet, but I talked with this one guy and he seemed really nice, but I don't know if he's who he says he is.

That is the ting about the Internet; you have to decide who is being real and who is not. So you are relying alot on trust and your instincts when you talk to people online. You are not sure if the pictures they show you are really them and/or if their personality online is how they are in real life. So you have to follow your gut and not your heart at first. Then once you really get to know them, then you can make a decision about them...
As for your parents, their reaction to you talking to people online is completely understandable. They think you can be part of many statistics: Run away from home to met this person, abducted be a pervert, or scammed out of money. It happens alot & they do not want to see anything bad happen to you. I know because my folks did the same with me. I rebeled against them though. I ran away from home twice to only come back. I am greatful for the experince and the things I learned from it. But I was thinking more about love & sex because I was so naive at the time. Not until late last year did I get back into chatting with people online, thanks to Myspace. I got back into it again, but I am smarter and more mature then I was 8 years ago. So i know when I am talkngi to people that are not being truthful and I am more mature. I even met alot of great people along the way. I met my best friend, I met a famous model & I met my girlfriend. So there are good people online & alot of good things can come from eeting people on the internet. You just have to be careful about who you trust...

That would be a good reason to be careful who you talk to on the internet. If the guy is school age, see if you can coroberate what he says. See if the school website has any mention of him. See if you can verify some information. Not everyone on the internet is bad. I met my husband on the internet. However, I've met my fair share of wack-o people on there too so your parents are right- you do need to be safe.

Well I met a guy on the net and he turned out to be a great guy and now we been going out for about 3 months now. I say give him a try. Talk to him on the phone and as your relationship progresses and you feel you can trust him, make a date.

He's probably an older (much older than you think) pervert that wants to take advantage of your naivete. Sounds like you have smart parents. You never know who the on-line people really are.

well one thing for sure ppl can act like their really nice. if you dont no them then its a very dangerous thing to do. but if you dont tell him where you live or your personal info then it should be fine but juss dont meet him without you and at least 1 or 2 ppl there. actully never meet the guy he culd be juss a fake and he could actually do stuff to you thats very gross and dangerous. thats wat happend on myspace and a girl got raped and some got mudered, kiddnapped, missing. so you never no wat kind of person he is. your parents my seem unfair but then again they might be juss protecting you.my parents dont let me talk to boys in my class on the phone or online not even email. they never say it but i no they will get mad good luck.

first, how old are you? second, if your old enough you can talk to him. just dont tell him any of your personal information i.e. phone #, address, full name, stuff like that.
