Does the person have to be a close personal friend? A friend of a friend?
A schoolmate? Even if you think you’ve been cautious, chances are your
friend list contains a few so-called friends you really don’t know at all—a.k.a.
potential pervs.
TRY THIS LITTLE EXPERIMENT
Go through your online "friend" lists with a ruthless eye. Take a close look
at each profile and ask yourself if you’d feel comfortable having this
"friend" over for dinner with your parents. If the answer is no, drop them.
Someone you don’t trust enough to invite into your home is definitely not
worthy of learning more about you and your life on some website.
The next time you receive a friend request, be sure to be selective and
ask yourself: How well do I really know this person?
