Hey, this is Bumble123 and Dragon163. You might not know us, but we want you at least read this.

This is Bumble123's part:

Just a couple of days ago, my friends and I were just sitting in the school cafeteria eating. One of my friends (I'll call her M.) said, "What's so wrong with I.D.???" (I.D. is short for internet dating -- she said I.D. because a teacher was sitting at the table and we didn't want them to know what we were talking about.)

I said, "What do ya mean?"

She said, "Well you know the kids that get an I.B.F. or I.G.F. (internet boyfriend or girlfriend) might get kidnapped or worse!"

Then dragon163 said, "Remember L.?"

"What about her?" I said.

"Well," dragon163 started. "She got kidnapped...."

"Well, we don't want that to happen at our school, sooo, I'm thinking let's make a club about the dangers of virtual dating!"

"That's a good idea." M. said.

Then we asked a teacher about it, and voila! A club!!!!


Dragon163's part:

Bumble123 said that we should give a speech about the dangers of virtual dating. So I started writing and bumble wrote a poem:

Ahhhhh look, the kidnapper took my child!
My blessed child! I thought she said she was going
to meet a friend but she was wrong!
I was wrong, I was if only I was there!
My child, my blessed child, no longer is blessed!
My life is through!

The speech went something like this...

Virtual dating is wrong! Well, sort of. Of course, all of you heard about the children that meet in real life with people they meet on the internet? Well, that could be anyone if they don't follow the safety rules! People out there: listen, join our club! We will help you with your troubles and questions! Virtual dating can end to be the end of you or someone you know! Well, then the point of the speech is join our club..

The name of the club is... A.V.D.C (Against Virtual Dating Club). Our colors are Red, White, and Blue and our mascot is the Kitty named No! (ok, that sounds a little crazy :-) but for the boys it's a Crocodile named Anti.

Here are the internet safety rules!

1. If someone asks you to meet them outside the chat rooms say No!.
2. Set up your own rules on the internet.
3. Make sure the place your chatting has no people swearing or anything bad.
4. If there is something that bothers you on the internet, tell a trusted adult!
5. And be safe!
