I was sick and tired of going into the beach or anywhere and finding girls saying stuff like "I NEED A BOYFRIEND" or "HOT GUYS E-MAIL ME!". I was sick and tired of it. Sure, it's cool to have friends on Whyville, but don't turn them into 'real' relationships. Online relationships can be dangerous. What happens if you meet someone on Whyville who's a real sicko?

I decided to put together a project that would stop this once and for all. This was it:

For many days, I dressed as a boy and went to different rooms. It was numberless how many girls would come up to me and say, "Are you single?". When that happened, I told every girl who said that to look at my city records, which explained how I was a girl and what my project was. Some girls I met were horrified by the idea, but most girls were glad to hear someone was doing something cool. By the end of my project, I had made many new friends who helped me out.

My point is, Whyville is a fun, safe, cool place to hang out at. But you shouldn't take it too seriously. We all know online relationships can be harmful. So if we all know it, why do people still do it? Stop it now. We all can.

Be cool, and if you think I'm a dork about this, think about it. How many times have you heard of someone getting hurt by a weirdo online? Too many times. Don't become another one of those people you hear about.
