Symbol: Stranger
approaches you while headed to school
Lesson: Be
careful with all strangers, even virtual ones.
Illustration:
What would you do if, when walking to school or walking home, someone you'd
never met before pulled up alongside you wearing a mask, and asked to be your
friend? Most likely you would run, screaming. But now, when someone you don't
know sends you a "friend request" through Facebook or some other
social media, while you might not immediately feel physically threatened, the
dangers can very much be the same. Sometimes the pictures (mask) they put on
their profile are not at all what they look like. They may even be older people
impersonating a youth. In short, if you don't know the person, be just as
cautious in accepting friend requests.
