Never Meet With Someone in Real
Life Who You First Met Online.
 You don’t know for sure if people
really are who they say they are. If
you think it is appropriate to meet
with someone, always discuss the
meeting with your parents first, meet
in a public place and never go alone.
 It is a good idea to first have your
parents speak with the parents of
the person you want to meet.
