Yep I totally second not replying to ANY email or text that is from someone unknown. When I was 14 my friend and I started chatting with some guy on ICQ (so old school right?). He and my friend got "close" and kinda sorta had an online relationship. At some point we decided it would be a great idea to meet him so we both went downtown to do just that. My friend at the last minute decided she didn't want to meet him so we didn't, although we saw him. ( we knew what he looked like because he had sent pics, but we never sent pics of us). He must have been in his late twenties. Looking back I can't believe what absolute morons we were. And we were good kids, had good grades and behaved ourselves. This guy was most definitely a predator and we are so lucky we ended things when we did. It give me goosebumps thinking about it. I am not looking forward to my kids being teens. And I didn't post this to scare you either bright sparks...just wanted to highlight the importance of not being in contact with anyone you don't know. Unfortunately when I was a teen no one really talked about this, at least not enough.
