- A.
Ask a friend
- B.

Correct Answer
C. Ask an adult you trustExplanation
When confronted by a difficult situation online, it is important to seek guidance from an adult you trust. They can provide valuable advice and support in handling the situation effectively and safely. Asking a friend may not always be the best option as they may not have the necessary knowledge or experience to provide appropriate guidance. Making a guess can lead to making wrong decisions and potentially worsening the situation. Turning off the computer may temporarily remove you from the situation, but it does not address the underlying issue or provide a long-term solution.Rate this question:

However, online interactions provide a certain level of detachment, allowing individuals to feel less responsible for their hurtful words. This anonymity can embolden people to express their negative feelings without immediate repercussions.Rate this question:

- A.
You don't really know who they are
- B.
The online friends are always just as great as real life friends
- C.
Online friends are more trustworthy with secrets
- D.
Online friends will always lie to you
Correct Answer
A. You don't really know who they areExplanation
The reason why you would be more cautious with friends that you meet online instead of in real life is because you don't really know who they are. In real life, you have the opportunity to interact with someone face-to-face, observe their behavior, and get a better sense of their character. However, when it comes to online friendships, it is easier for people to create false identities or hide certain aspects of their lives. This lack of physical presence and limited information about their background makes it important to exercise caution and not fully trust someone until you have established a deeper and more genuine connection with them.Rate this question:
