Meeting on the Internet

Sarah met someone on an internet chat room. The other girl invited Sarah to her home. Sarah agreed. She told her mother her plans. She and Sarah had a long talk. Sarah agreed that it would be safer to meet in a public place. Sarah asked the new friend to meet her at a coffee shop. The friend did not want to do this. Sarah realized that this person might have been lying about who they were. Later, Sarah met another friend online. They met several times in public before visiting each other’s homes. Sarah learned a lot about her new friend when she met her in person. She knew this friend was honest about who she was. Now, Sarah is careful about people she meets online.
