A friend of mine showed me a chat site they've been using to meet other singles. My friend has revealing pictures, their address, and phone number posted publicly. They want me to make a profile too, because they've met lots of cool people.
What should I do?
I should tell the friend that I don't feel comfortable posting my personal information, and they should be careful too of what they're sharing. Sometimes people aren't truly who they say they are, and that can lead to catfishing. My friend and I should go over the safety/privacy options and make sure we are keeping ourselves safe from catfish/strangers if we want to use dating sites.

No! Always tell a trusted adult who you are talking to online. Trusted adults can help us figure out if this person is who they say they are. We should always plan to meet someone new with a trusted adult after they've decided they're safe.
