Online predators are everywhere; no matter where you go, you will always take the risk of running into one. The threat is very real. These facts/tips will help you protect yourself against predators:
1. How much information would you want a stranger to know about you? Would you want just anybody to know where you live? Of course not! This is the first thing to consider, especially if you are just now creating an account; how much information do you want the average stranger to know about you? Let's face it, if you're going to make a profile and submit art/literature, strangers are going to pop in to look at it. Not all of them are bad, but there's always the chance someone bad WILL invade your page. Therefore, only post information you're comfortable to share with the average stranger.
2. Don't share personal information. This is similar to rule one, only here's some specifics: A. Never reveal the address of your house, or the city you live in, as well as zip codes. B. Never reveal your phone number. C. If you must have an e-mail address for the site, make a new one; that way, if someone untrustworthy starts to e-mail you, you can delete the address.Slipping on these factors can cause pedofiles to find you, so be careful!
3. NEVER meet anybody in real life, ESPECIALLY if they ask you too. Anybody can hide their true identity online; therefore, it's dangerous to meet them, because they may not be who you think they are.
4. Watch for the signs. What are the signs? Well, for one thing, obsession; if someone make poems and art about you every day, obsesses over the smallest things about you, and treats you like a god/goddess, that's a good sign he's a pedofile. If he asks to meet you in real life, that's another great sign. The average person should know that meeting others in real life is dangerous; and should, therefore, not ask others to do so, simply because the knowledge exists. Also, if he switches accounts often without logical reasons, writes major love letters about you after knowing you only a short while, those are more signs. If anybody makes you uncomfortable, block them immediately.
5. Sad fact: ANYBODY can be a victim. In fact, the most common victims aren't young children, but teenage women. HOWEVER, males are also at risk; don't think your age or gender matters. Again, anybody can be a victim.
That should cover the basics of protection; please spread the word to help others stay safe.

Hello Everyone!
Alright. I'm through making jokes about the dusty journal. That's gone on for how many entries now? Probably too many.
So, hello! It's 2015! I'm very honored that people still watch me and comment on my things, even though I'm frequently gone for long periods of time. It makes me feel like I'm still having an impact, even though I don't hang around as often as I used to, and am rather terrible about staying up on social sites in general.
To anyone who's newer to my channel: greetings! I hope you enjoy what I have, even though a lot of it is unfinished at the moment. For those who remember me from my high school days: I wanted to let
Remember Me?
*Dusts off journal* ...What does one say after being gone three months short of a year, "How do you do?" ^^; Well, whatever one typically says, I'm saying: "Long time no see; I won't be insulted if you don't remember me." Now, mind you, I might try to help you remember. Hopefully I myself have not forgotten too many people. Luckily, we have Friend Watch lists and Galleries to help with that. Now then....
Obviously, everything has been put on hiatus. Comics, RPs, everything. To say anything otherwise would be lying. There are many reasons for the hiatus, one of them being the fact that I'm a college student who is nearly finished wi
Happy 4th of July Everyone! And, no, I\'m not Dead
*dusts off journal* It's been a while...longer than I thought, anyway. ^^;
When I woke up today, I didn't connect, until my mother told me, that today was the 4th of July. For watchers and possible passerby-ers that are not from America, the 4th of July is a holiday when Americans celebrate their Independence. Common symbols of Indepedence Day include the American Flag, hotdogs, and--perhaps everyone's favorite symbol--fireworks, among other things. Which reminds me: I won't be here this evening on account of the fireworks celebration.
In explaning my absence...well, I've been busy with various things. For one, my grandmother absolute
The Secret Project is Revealed!
In explaining my absence, I've been very busy the past couple of weeks...first I got sick, and had to deal with the last week of school BEING sick. Not fun! -_-; Although, the very LAST day was fun regardless. The second week I was gone, I was busy recovering from the illness, and...graduating! :w00t: As I write this entry, I am no longer a high school student, but a high school graduate of 2011; thankfully, my illness desolved into a slight case of allergies by the ceremony, and I had a very successful graduation. :aww: Some sweet parties were included in the graduation package. The entire experience, however, is bittersweet: I'll m
