With the GOOD, comes the BAD.

public profiles on web pages
Now... the positive things on this is that people get to know who you are. And you can also make new friends. :) You can express yourself and tell anyone what type of person you are and maybe you'll get very nice comments. And what if someone wants to show off their artwork or what not, they can do it on their web pages. You never know, you might become a famous artist! (like me.) JOKES. :)

But... there are negative views on public profiles. There are many, as you can say "perverts" out there. Especially towards girls. If you make public profiles, you got to know what to write and what not to write. Notice that its called "Public Profiles". Unless you set yours to private or only to people you know. But then again, anything can happen right? Basiclly, you can't trust people who ask to meet you in person. Its internet, you don't see who they are before you see them do you. And even if you do, it could be fake. If you do go and meet them, Good luck. They better be the person you THINK they are or else you're in trouble.
