The rise of the internet has given people of all ages the abilities to communicate with friends and to make new friends in many easy ways. People can send emails, start a blog, or create a personal webpage to keep people connected to the happenings of their life. Becoming another main way that people communicate and build relationships with one another are chat rooms. And like any source of connection and communication, chat rooms has both pros and cons.

There is no denying that chat rooms are a great way to meet people. All you do is log in, enter a chat room, and start conversing with other people who are also logged in. You can initiate conversations with people or they can initiate conversations with you. Does it sound harmless?

Chat rooms can also be great to connect with people with whom you have things in common. Created for people with certain hobbies, lifestyles, or beliefs are chat rooms. People who love to cook can certainly find chat rooms for others who love to cook and teens who love to skateboard can use chat rooms to find other skateboarders.

Dangers exist in chat rooms. Because all you need to do in entering chat rooms is sign in, think about all of the people who can make up identities that are not their own. Even a boy who is ten years old can sign into a chat room pretending to be a thirty year old mom of three. Then a man who is sixty years old can pretend to be twenty five just so he can search for the perfect girl. It is fine to enter chat rooms if all you're looking for is fun but when it comes to meeting a new best friend or the wife of your dreams each time you sign into chat rooms, then you shouldn't get your hopes up.

Parents needs to be especially watchful about their children's habits on the internet. They should be carefully monitored so that you can see if they are entering chat rooms that are inappropriate for their interests and age. They are a lot smarter than you think and finding their way to what they want online may not be too hard for them. It would come as a surprise to many parents to learn the things their kids see on websites and in chat rooms.

Chat rooms can just as easily become dangerous and addictive no matter how fun and harmless they can be. Before giving yourself or anyone else the freedoms to search the Internet and spend time in chat rooms, you should know yourself and your family members well.
