Dating Sites

Anyone who meets someone through a dating web site, or through the internet in general, has to be extremely careful. You never know what the person on the other end of an internet connection is like.

Social Networking Sites

It can take people who are already vulnerable and can lead them to commit suicide. If you are the vulnerable one then it could kill you. Of course if you are the one doing the bullying then you know that the person or people you are attacking online could turn their anger into violence and that could kill you too.
