i just found out that my friend ahs been talking to he "boyfriend" from a whole other place who she has never met in person! she got his email from runescape.
i was shocked cuz i thoguht she would never do this!
i got to work and told her all the dangers of internet predators. i told her that it might even be a 60 yr old man from like china. (cuz it could be true!)
she got scared and "broke up" with him. i thought that was a good descision for her to make.
but did i make a good descision? by telling her the dangers?

I think you made the right decision, you're just letting her know.. and besides you do it because you care about her.

Advising her on the dangers is a good thing, but I think you're taking it just a step too far. Yes, there are predators out there. There are a few bad people, but spoiling the whole idea of the internet over them is not what I think to be living.
If you wish to meet someone from the internet, don't give them any of your personal information, besides the town you live in. Meet them in a public place and get to know them a little bit more in person.
Everything in life is risky. You should not back down from every risk, instead use your mind to prepare best for them while plowing forward through life. :)
Good luck.

yes she needed to know about the dagers of the internet and you did do the right thing as a friend. Its just too bad that the parents of this friend of yours hasn't done this already
Good Job and I hope that you can reach other young people that are in the same situation than your friend was

Yes! Of course you did. You should NEVER EVER meet people online, even online dating services are stupid. You shouldn't meet them online because, well, because of what you said in your question! You just saved someone.....I think that what you did was great! It's a good thing that you knew too....you made a good choice!

You did the right thing. A lot of kids your age (and adults too) are way too trusting of people they meet on the Internet. You were right to inform her of the dangers and you were a good friend!
