many teens are not afraid to give out info because they feel nothing could ever hapen to them.
ReplyDeleteamy regreted it after she realized it was getting more serious when he was inviting her over and running away.
tell them it was a bad idea and not to do it.
1. they feel like nothing will happen and its just a joke.
ReplyDelete2. when the conversation got more serious and more personal.
3.i would tell them that they are crazy for eventhingabout that and convince them not see them and probably tell their parents.
the way people give out infermation so easaly is kinda bad for them as we just learnd and amy should have not even have talked to the guy and i would tell that per son dont do it
ReplyDeleteMany teens arent concerned becasue alot of them feel like it wont ever happen to them. I believe at the point where the guy was arrested and she knew that he still had her address and phone number. I would say that dont go meet the person its easy to pose as someone your not, and if they dont listen or believe me i would tell a trusted adult or adults.
ReplyDeleteMany teens are not reluctint to give away there personal information because they think there invinsible and nothing can happen to them.
ReplyDeleteI beleive amy regreted it when she first seen this stranger and every moment after that.The consequences to this was sshe got picked up and she was threatend to be killed.
If one of my friends said this I would tell theree parents that he was palnning this and try to convice my friend that he shouldnt do this.
1.Many teens are concerned about giving personal information online to people because there are so many creepers that can like hunt you down.
ReplyDelete2. She regreted it most when she knew that the person she was talking to had her house phone number, knew where sh lived andwas outside her door waiting for her.
3. i would straight up say youd be stupid if you went. you have no clue what this person really wants and if they are who they say they are.
I don't think many teens are concerned about sharing their personal information on the internnet for a couple reasons. First, they think that it is only their friends that can see the things they post. But there are people out there that can track you down. Also, they don't think that getting kidnapped by someone would ever happen to them.
ReplyDeleteI think Amy regretted sharing her personal information when she found that the stranger she had been talking to was at her doorstep waiting for her. She ran away but they got caught and he went to jail. She is lucky he didn't kill her. Once he gets out of jail he still has her phone number and address so he could still track her down.
If one of my friends ever told me they were going to meet someone they met online, I would tell them not to. I would also make sure that they report the person to the police, and never talk to that stranger again.
In my opinion teens aren’t weary to give out their personal information because they are very naïve and gullible. I also think they give it out as an act of rebellion or simply just don’t think out all the consequences that could occur. I think Amy regretted sharing her information at the point when the man was outside waiting for her. The consequences of her sharing her information were forever being in a state of fear of this man coming back because he knew all her information. Also it caused a man to spend a good amount of time in jail. I would highly stress that they not go meet with that person. I would keep track of my friend and if I had any suspicion that they might be going to meet with the person I would warn my friend’s parents.
ReplyDelete1. I think that many teens are not worried at all about the consequences of what they do online because they think that it could never happen to them
ReplyDelete2. Amy started to regret her decision to share her info when the guy showed up in front of her house waiting for her.
3. I would say that it was a terrible idea and that they should never do that ever. I would also tell somebody I can trust.
Many teens are way too trusting of others to think that anybody could do any wrong to them.
ReplyDeleteAmy probably started regretting it when the conversations got more personal and serious and he showed up at her door.
That just the though of them doing that makes me sick. That it's really dangerous and they can get seriously hurt. I would probably tell their parents to, just in case he or she doesn't listen to me.
I think that many teens aren’t concerned about giving personal information online because they don’t think that anything can happen to them and no one could use this information to harm them. I think that when Amy find out that the guy had done it before that she regrets ever talking to him or giving out her personal information. The consequences to her giving out her personal information is that she went with a complete stranger who could of done anything to her and he ended up going to jail. If any of my friend ever said they were talking to someone online or thinking about meeting someone they met online I would say that they should stop talking to that person and report it to the police.
ReplyDelete1. I believe that many teens arent concerned without giving out there personal information because they think "Oh its not going to happen to me." Or they think that "My life couldnt get much worse as it is."
ReplyDelete2. I think the point in the movie that Amy started regretting giving out her personal information is when he started calling her, and standing outside her door. The consequences of her sharing her personal information she could of been gone forever, killed.
3. If my friend told me they were going to meet someone they met online I would be so scared. I would deffinatly tell them "No thats not a good thing at all. You have so much life in you, that one choice your life can be over." I would no doubt about it tell her mom, my mom, just someone out there that can help her and not let her make one mistake.
1. In my opinion, i think teens don't really think that anything could happen if they put some personal information online.
ReplyDelete2. When Amy and the pedifile got caught i think, she realized that she regretted what shes done. The consequenses of sharing her personal information was having the pedifile waiting outside of her house, without her knowing he was coming.
3. In my honest opinion, I would call them dumb, and tell their parents, because if I was acting dumb and wanting to meet someone online I would want someone to stop me, so nothing happened to me.
In my opinion, alot of teens aren't comcerned about giving out their personal information because they think that the bad tings that happen to other people won't happen to them. In the video "Amy's Choice" I think that Amy regretted sharing her personal information after she found out that the predator was in jail. She knew that after he had gotten released that he could find her again because he knew where she had lived and her phone number and everything that happened to her before. If my friend would have wanted to meet someone online that they had never met before I would let them know of the consequences until they understood it was wrong and I would let their parents know so that they could talk to them too.
ReplyDeleteI feel many teens are not concerned about giving personal information out online because they think in their heads that there will never be consequences. Also, they don't think anything bad could ever happen to them.
ReplyDeleteI believed Amy regretted sharing her personal information when she got a call from a stranger saying that this man that she had been talking to was at her doorstep. At that point it hit her that he will always know where she is and how to contact her.
If my friend ever told me that they planned on meeting someone, I would do everything in my power to convince tham not to. It that did not work, I would tell their parents and the police.

ReplyDeleteI think teens aren’t concerned with giving out personal information because they don’t think it will happen to them, when anything can happen online and people can find out so much more stuff about you then you even realized. Amy regretted sharing her personal information, when she realized the conversation got to personal, and in depth. I would tell them all the dangers of it, and how it’s a very bad idea to do that. If they didn’t listen to me I would tell their parents.
ReplyDelete1. they think giving out their information isnt bad, and thinks they could never find them, or it would never in a million years happen to them, so why worry about it.
ReplyDelete2. She realized it was a bad idea when things were getting more serious, and he showed up at her house, and realized when he was in prison, that he could just show up again, or just call her again because he still has all of the information.
3. I would tell them to say I am busy, and not give them any further information on where I live, my cell phone number, or what I am doing. I would also block them on facebook so I dont have to deal with them trying to see me.
They think that no one would come and get them or stalk them. Yes, she ran away from home and she regretted it. I would say No, I am good, and then disconnect from him/ her and block him/her.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, many teens aren’t concerned with giving out personal information online because they don’t think anything will happen to them and that they might not know what people could do with the information that they give out. The point in the video where Amy regretted sharing her personal information was when the conversation got to be really personal. The consequences of her sharing her personal information was when the guy who she was talking to came to her house with another guy in the conversation and she felt like she had to run away with them. If one of my friends confided in me that they were thinking of meeting someone that they met online in person I would first try to talk them out of it and tell them that they are probably just trying to hurt you if you went to meet them. If that didn’t work I would go tell their parents and go tell the police so they could go catch this person.
