Why is Online Chatting with Strangers considered Unhealthy?

Greetings! It's Fish here and today I'm going to talk about the reasons on why online chatting with strangers is unhealthy! You guys probably wonder why I'm writing about online chatting. Well, I read a few cases about online chatting and thought I should write about it so people in the future can be more careful. I also talked to Riceball and Cow about it, and they said that I should. That's how I ended up here today writing about it.

Most of you might think: Why can't you talk to strangers? There isn't much harm in it. Let's just say, there's always an aftershock.

The Internet is a useful tool and everyone is using it. The internet has made life easier. Chatting is a great example of an internet benefit since it allows us to communicate with anybody at anytime. In today's society,  the majority of mankind, even children are downloading apps such as Waplog, Omegle, Minus-Social chat and etc. Why? Sometimes they want to go online and talk to strangers that they are paired up with. You could say it's most likely because they're lonely. 

Others, they probably want to just for the sake of having fun. Nevertheless, even when you're lonely don't--never--choose talking to strangers as an option of filling up your loneliness because it can sometimes spawn the temptation to talk to strangers; but be warned as strangers can sometimes be... strange.

When you sign up to chat with strangers, some app might ask for your hand phone number, email address, name, and what's more, even the place where you stay. Even if you don't need to insert your real identification, there's always a way a stranger can use to track your phone or even hack into it and get information about you. Don’t be shocked by the ways that they use: sometimes they will send you links that when you click it it will implant a virus into your phone. 

Then, when things just begin to heat up between the two of you, all the horrible things will happen. For instance, they might find your address and kidnap you and you might get raped or your parents might have to deal with money, blackmail or scam. Moreover, people of course wouldn’t put their real name for anything, so you won’t know if the person you’re talking to is being truthful or making use of these chat apps as a potential avenue to gain access to unsuspecting children.

Sometimes, the stranger will talk to you everyday, from day to night, whether rain or shine (or in this case, whether WiFi or no WiFi) . They will flirt, talk and comfort you at times when you are sad, having you to trust them. Some might even use ways to make you want to talk to them more and more, then you'll start thinking of them when you're working or studying even though it's not such a big deal. However, if you try to think another way round, when you start to get obsessed with talking to him/her, you'll begin to get antisocial and you won't be connected to the world anymore. 


And the worst thing that can happen is you'll probably start to lose a few friends, ranging from the ones who are not very close to you to the ones who are your ultimate besties. By the time you even realize that, it might be a little too late as trying to get over something is indeed not an easy job so it might take a long time.

Nevertheless, at intervals you might meet people who are very confident. And what I mean by confident is the stranger will use a seductive choice of words to have you ‘turned on’, making your mind think differently. These types of sick strangers will talk to you and send you inappropriate images. A few will plead you to take inappropriate, horrific and shocking pictures, convincing you that it’s okay to do it- we call this mind pollution-.The moment you start to think it’s okay will change everything. You might start to do things that are unbelievable and jaw-dropping like masturbating. To make things even worst, you’ll even have the liking of it. On the other hand, if you have a strong will, I’m sure you can get out of this situation before it has even started.

I’m not saying that chatting with strangers is all a disadvantage-- if you get paired up with the right person, then it’s okay. It’s not a bad thing to make new friends but just be careful and don’t be fooled. There are many types of people out there such as pedophiles, rapists and kidnappers.

Remember Pedo the stingray
