Chatted online?
instant messaged?
posted on message boards?

facebook, snapchat, twitter)

4. Can you ever really know if an online-
only friend is male or female?
No, because in some cases people purposefully
may change their identity.

online-only friend is?
No. Since all communication is online, it is easy
for someone to reveal only part of his or her
identity.

school problems with an online-
only friend than an in-person, face-
to-face friend?

information?
Don’t respond, then tell a parent or
guardian about it.
