A. Why do “friends” websites seem dangerous? B. How do “friends” websites work? C. What's the best advice for people who want to use “friends” websites? D. Where do Millie's friends live? E. How can I find “friends” websites? F. Why are “friends” websites popular? |
1. Millie is 14 years old and lives in Miami. She has 204 friends - and she makes two or three more friends every week. About 20 of her friends also live in Miami. Some go to the same school, and others go to the same music clubs and sports centers. She often sees them. The others live in other cities and other countries: England, Canada, Japan … She never meets these friends, but she talks to them on the Internet. They are her “MySpace Friends”.
2. Because of websites like MySpace, Yahoo, 360 and Bebo, people can make friends online. These websites are very popular all over the world, especially with young people. Users have their own homepage. They give information about themselves. They write letters for their webpage, show photos and give opinions. They write about their favourite films, music and TV programmes.
3. For many young people, a good homepage is an important part of their image. It says: “This is me! I have something to say. These things - and these people - are important in my life.” And these websites are also an easy way to talk to a lot of different people. That is why teenagers like these “friends” websites.
4. But some people are worried that these websites aren't safe. For example, it is impossible to know that the information on a homepage is true. Perhaps the 14-year- old girl you talk to online is really a 40-year-old man. So here is some advice.
5. Keep your webpage private. (Only friends can see a private homepage.) Do not put photos of yourself on your homepage. Do not meet people that you only know because of the website. And finally, remember that online friends are fun, but they are not the same as real friends.
