Because it's anonymous and people can be whatever they want to be.

They can say anything freely and nobody will know except for that one person they are talking to. When they are talking to you in real life, then everything is different. There could be people listening in. He/her could be fidgeting around. It is also easier to lie because then people can't look at you and see if you are doing any that is not normal.

well but i have not experienced this
coz me and my frnds are the same online
maybe some of them act differently coz when thay are online they think and say something coz you are not front of you but they just say what they want to when they are with you
maybe thats why

Because of the presumed anonymity of the Internet. In a chat room you can be whomever you want to be.

because people can be anything they want too on a computer.it's like a fantasy for them .but the way i look at it is that they just don't like who they really are so they fake it like they were 10

I suppose at school they are a bit more concious of what they are saying, yet when they are at home they are in the comfort of their own home and are more confident in what they are saying.

Because they can lie and misrepresent much easier.
