I was sick and tired of going into the beach or anywhere and finding girls
saying stuff like "I NEED A BOYFRIEND" or "HOT GUYS E-MAIL ME!". I was sick and
tired of it. Sure, it's cool to have friends on Whyville, but don't turn them
into 'real' relationships. Online relationships can be dangerous. What happens
if you meet someone on Whyville who's a real sicko?
I decided to put together a project that would stop this once and for all. This
was it:
For many days, I dressed as a boy and went to different rooms. It was
numberless how many girls would come up to me and say, "Are you single?". When
that happened, I told every girl who said that to look at my city records, which
explained how I was a girl and what my project was. Some girls I met were
horrified by the idea, but most girls were glad to hear someone was doing
something cool. By the end of my project, I had made many new friends who helped
me out.
My point is, Whyville is a fun, safe, cool place to hang out at. But you
shouldn't take it too seriously. We all know online relationships can be
harmful. So if we all know it, why do people still do it? Stop it now. We all
can.
Be cool, and if you think I'm a dork about this, think about it. How many
times have you heard of someone getting hurt by a weirdo online? Too many times.
Don't become another one of those people you hear about.
