Its scary and unfit for kids, they arent grown enough to being exposed to internet. And more its scary coz theres so much to confuse and very less to lead u in the right way.\nIts is scary if u dont have much knowledge about internet and surfing web. u wont enjoy it to its fullest unless u knwo all about it.

People tend to say they hate things that they dont know anything about because they are scared.  They fear it because it is different from how they are and they dont know it, so its scarey to them.

less fear of repurcussions. My psychology professor used the example of road rage. People feel they can cuss out and flip off other drivers, because they feel anonymous and safe in their cars. These same people would not dare to do this to someone's face for fear of the way the person would react, however, due to the increasing cases of road rage violence, people are becoming more afraid to do this also. The internet seems to make people feel even more anonymous and safe.

Nothing is entirely safe on the internet. I don't mean Yahoo is dangerous. I mean anyone can hack anything. So, I never give away important information about me.

As in anything, use caution. If you are easily talked into something, and from what you have said you do not seem to be that way, then internet can be very dangerous to young inexperienced people.\n\nTo say that the internet is totally dangerous I cannot agree with that. I have personally met some very nice people on the net. I have talked to them extensively for months before thinking about meeting them. In fact I met my wife on the internet, and I am not the only one to do so. We have been happily married and together for over 7 years. (we are both retired)\n\nThe best advice I can give is to be very very cautious and level headed about those you talk to on the net and never just jump at what might look like a good strawberry shortcake there can be some bad strawberries in the mix.

It could be an oxy moron because it seems like the internet has no security at all since its a world wide web where everyone and anyone can get access to anything in the world. Some children get on unknowing what they might discover and sometimes its not all for the best. And then there are hackers who are the ones that build the security softwares, whos to say they wont be in your computer when we trust their software in the first place? Security to us means security, safe, and protected.\n\nIt could definitely be thought of as an oxymoron =)

I think human beings are the most scary out of everything, they are destructive to their own environment and destroy everything around them. At least all the others are known as animals, but we are the real animals.

YES the internet can be that bad!\n\nThat's why I never allow my child to go online unsupervised.\n\nI also know a 13 year old that in six months of being online unsupervised thinks she is a goth vampire, had her lip pierced and wants to kill her mom. She had smaller issues before this, but most recently hopsitalized explained that she just copied other people she thought were cool. \n\nI've met a guy online, became friends online, and he started stalking me! Sending me gifts and flowers and all that at work, trying to get me to move in with him. It was partially my fault because my relationship was having problems and he was easy to talk to, but it went way overboard. He even called the hospital when my daughter was admitted to ask how she was doing - while we were in the emergency room - after calling work to ask where I was.\n\nOur local news is always busting someone adult guy for trying to meet up with a teenager through online.\n\nScary stuff.\n\nTrust me, it CAN be that dangerous. \n\nBut also remember, it can be a great learning tool and great for information, science projects etc.
