Why I need to protect my info on the internet?

     So, this second post is about internet safety; I guess. I think i'm going to make this simple by listing the don't's with lots of commas; you don't post/ list any personal information on the internet. Well, change of plans- not so many commas. But anyways, you shouldn't list any of the following on the internet or give away any of this information: your last name, IM name, phone number, email address, real address, or anything else that links to your personal life. Though this sounds "excessive" and you think "that you will be fine, nobody will bother you" it kindof makes sense. There are alot of internet predators out there and if one of them got ahold of your info, they could do terrible things to you. Like rape. Or kill you. I don't wanna die right now.
