are your parents concerned that you speak to people online?

My mum's forever asking me who I'm skyping to and I just say it's just a school friend. I'll probably get round to telling her one day. She doesn't really understand much about the internet and thinks that if I don't know them in real life, then they must be a pedo.

My dad was in the police and I tell my dad if I think somethin dodgy is going on and he tells me what he thinks of it. Most of the time he's like "well, from what they've said they sound a bit dodgy askin for your age and where you live and stuff", he's good to have around

my parents know and are fine. i had [@]@PaulMacC[/@] and [@]@RyRy[/@] sleeping in my room a couple of months back lol. ryan came hopping in the living room in just a sleeping bag while my parents were sat here.

Haha that was ******* jokes. He was fully naked too.

On topic here - I talked to a lot of people online before I came to Uni, like 2-3 months before. Some of them are my best friends now even at Uni and w/o speaking online that probably wouldn't have happened.

I think they use to be when I was a little bit younger but nah not anymore.

My mum once asked me about this 76 year old man I was talking to, all I wanted to do was play some yahoo pool with somebody I could converse with Made me delete him, I was 10 btw.

Nope, To be honest - I'm old enough for them to now, stop caring =) haha, And I love the freedom of them being like "Nadia you can do whatever you want babe" I've met so many lovely people this way!!

Umm.. I'm only 13(almost14) so my mum still freaks out about every little thing i do o.o

When I asked my mum if I could meet this dude from online she started raging and said he was a creep or something
But when I asked my dad he was like, ye sure go ahead ill take you there nd you can chill in blackpool pleasurebeach with him

I don't think my mum has a problem with it because she knows I'm not going to do anything stupid. I've been speaking to people online for years now and probably started using skype around a year ago. I sometimes try to hide the fact that they're online friends if she asks though, haha.

My parents don't have a clue, sometimes if im smiling at my laptop they are like "who you smiling at?" but thats it really, they trust me.

errrrr my mum is more concerned by how old they are, aka in real life people speaking on facebook but yeah i don't think she cares that i'm on habbo (lol she knows...x) ALTHOUGH SAYING THAT SHE WENT THROUGH MY FACEBOOK INBOXES LOL BUT DON'T WORRY I HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING I SHOULDN'T...the person did though :| she gave me this lecture on speaking to such people.
