Teenager to Grown-Ups: About my webpage and is this safe; plus what can I do to make it safer?

Question

Hey,
I'm really into my webpage and all that stuff, like Posting on WeightWatchers.com(I'm a member and so far I've lost 14.2lbs ^.^) IM (Msn, Yahoo, AIM, I use Tirllian messenger so I don't have to have all those other messengers up and running, lol) And posting on pther site, like cheathappens.com.
But, sometimes I go alittle over the edge with the posting and it's about my real life.
But I have rules for myself when it comes to the internet.
1. I NEVER say my last name 2. I NEVER show photos of myself or my family/friends 3. I NEVER say where I live.
^_^ So far I think that those rules are best. but the things I do let people know about me are.
1. My 1st and middle names 2. My Age 3. My likes and dislikes
4. I let people see avater pictures that look alittle like me.
Are these safe??? @_@ I'm just trying to keep myself out of trouble. Plus My daddy trust me and he and mum let me do alot stuff other 'rents wouldn't allow, and I don't wont to break that trust.

I really don't find that the age thing is a problem, cuz I don't have pictures of myself so they don't know what I look like ^_^ plus if someone starts being "weird" to me online I just put them on the igure list. ^.^ Sorry bad speller. Oh and yes I'm younge, I'm 15 goin' on 16 ^_^

Plus I DO NOT use Myspace, that place is very freaky

And I don't open emails that are not from people I know.

Answer 1

I think the general guidelines you are using are very good measures to prevent someone from discovering your identity online.

I would also suggest that you don't visit the general social networking sites, because the information they can glean from you, just like any other site, can uniquely identify your household. If someone were devious enough to try to gather your IP address and managed to fool someone at your ISP, and the networking site into giving your most recently posted IP address.

Try to watch out what sites you do go to as well, and if you see something strange happen on your computer when you go to a site, close down the internet connection and start to run spyware and virus scans to ensure that nothing takes hold on your machine.

I know this is very generalized information, but the rules you are following as stated in the beginning of the question are good rules to follow in general on the internet.

Answer 2

the place do vampires come from. The e book of genesis would not point out the creation of vampires as a rely of stating nor replaced into their any extraterrestrial beings. James 4:7 and eight try this and you would be nice. by using fact if vampires somewhat exist an insignificant sheet won't stop them come on..

Answer 3

If you're young (which I take it you are), then it's good that you're being so careful about the internet. You're pretty safe if there's no real pictures of you, you don't have a last name, contact details or address.

If you're not sure about anything, ask your parents.

Answer 4

I would say you are somewhat safe....although never give your age, there are perverts out there that only look for young ppl to prey on. Be careful!!!!
