About Me

The first thing that my friends would tell people about me is that I'm talkative. I would want the first thing to be that I'm smart, but they would mention my talkativeness first. Secondly, they would tell you that I'm intelligent. I make really good grades and work hard for them. I try my best at whatever I do. Many of my friends would also mention my reputation for being a bookworm. I absolutely love to read and always have my nose in a book ... I think all my friends would say I am fun to be around.

Why I advocate for online safety.

I think it is important for teens to advocate for online safety because the Internet is such a big part of our lives, yet one that not many teens really think about. We could not live without it, but many of us don't think of the risks. Just like we are taught about the risks of things we will deal with as teens, such as sex, drugs, or alcohol, we need to be taught about the risks that come with being online.

Q & A

  • What are the top websites that you visit daily?
  • Goduke.com and funbrainarcade.com
  • Are your online friendships different than your real-life friendships? How?
  • My online friends are the same as my real life friends.
  • What would you like to tell or teach your parents about the Internet?
  • The Internet is not always a bad place. You just have to know the risks and how to stay safe.

I want people to think, 'Wow. If teens know how to be safe on the internet, then maybe I should do that too."

Someone needs to be able to talk to other people and tell them about the dangers of the Internet if you don't use it right."
