Omg!
You know how Mr. Fisher is telling us to be careful on what we write. Wow we should be warning the people in Australia. One girl named Claire told people her name, age, D.O.B, where she was born, hair colour, eye colour favourite subjects everything. I was surprised. I was like don’t these people know anything about stalkers and rapists?!?! They should read some e-mails that people send around.

(I’ve been trying to warn the girls for some time).
I think the problem should be taken care of with teacher oversight.
This particular girl hasn’t been too enthusiastic about the blogging process, especially not in terms of schoolwork.
I think, because the blogs have been somewhat confined to parents, teachers and other students, that they are a little more complacent.
And they are less experienced.
You can talk to their teacher, or maybe Mr Fisher can.
This is really worrying! Thank you for your concern!
I’m glad you are an aware blogger and a safe blogger!
There are probably some good sites that teenage and young adults can read about before they start blogging. I have not yet worked out a hack which would put the sites on a page and then make the person read them. But it won’t be too far away!

Ya that is alot but most people i’ve talked to have showed me a picture even when they had no clue who I was.

There are different things you can do with pictures.
One is not to take any personally identifiable body parts.
The other is to password-protect them, which you can do in WordPress, and only give the password to those people you trust.
Under what circumstances were people giving pictures to you Joellee? And under what circumstances/what media were the people using? Were they kids, teens or adults?
Be careful online!

I wouldn’t even be using Instant Messenger in the first place.
And I only do it for people I know very very well in person, and I’m an adult.

Why not what’s the point in only talking to only people you no. Its fun to talk to people you don’t no. Msn is just as good of a place as any other to meet people as long as your safe about it. I’m defiantly not stupid enough to say anything personal so what’s the harm. If someone starts being creepy I block and delete them.

Hey,
Your podcast made me wonder what Claire is thinking to put that much information out on a school blog! You should know how much information to put out, and that is to much! I am paranoid about people coming after me incase I gave out to much information, even though I am very careful about what I put on my blog. If I ever put that much information out onto a blog, I would be thinking someone is following me all of the time! I might just be overly paranoid, but it’s never a bad thing to be to careful! Maybe we should help get the word out on our blogs that there is a certain amount of information you can give out to stay safe, and never out to much!
I hope more people read your blog so they realize how dangerous this all is.
Bye,
