Consider some of the online activities that many youths are attracted to and their potential dangers.
Emails
What are they? Written messages that are sent e;electronically.
What is the appeal? E-mail is fast and inexpensive way to correspond with friends and family.
What you should know? Unsolicited e-mails, often called spam, can be more just a nuisance. Often they contain suggestive or blatantly obscene content. Links inside messages may prompt the user- including an unsuspecting child- to volunteer personal information, which can lead to identity theft. replying to such e-mails- even with the firm request to stop sending e-mails- will confirm that the user has an active e-mail address, which may lead to further unsolicited e-mails.

So we have to more vigilant!.. hehe.. we must carefully read the messages first before doing something to it..;)
yes and it is very annoying..deleting hundreds of messages coming from a person whom you do not know that ask some personal information everyday is truly a pain. we just have to be careful in subscribing and giving confidential info.
