Racecar73 – mean message

Dear Alex,
I got a mean message online from someone at school. They say I'm stupid and ugly. I feel sad and worried :-(. I don't know what to do.
Please help me!
Racecar73

Hi Racecar73!
No one should make comments online that are mean or hurtful. You shouldn't answer messages that are mean, or that make you feel uncomfortable. Tell you parents, a teacher or another adult. They can help you block and report the message.
I hope that helps.
Alex

Star44 – sharing passwords

Hi Alex,
My best friend wants me to tell her my passwords. She says that friends don't have secrets and we must share everything.
What should I do?
Star44

Hi Star44!
Passwords are private. You shouldn't share passwords, except with parents or carers. If someone has your password, they can use your account. You can be best friends without sharing passwords! Explain this to your friend. I'm sure she'll understand. If you're still worried, you should talk to your parents or another adult. Good luck.
Alex

I agree with Alex. You had better not to accept with your friend, your password is very important and private, you had better not share it to anyone. Anyway, I think you should tell your parent or someone who can protect you, they'll help you, don't worry!

I agree with Alex. You had better tell your parents. Don’t worry about the messenger and you should tell your friend, i think she will understand

I agree with Alex. I think it's good choices for you because using social media when you're young sometimes will get troubles, so you had better talk to your parents if you feel uncomfortable. And you shouldn't share your passwords with your friends too. Imagine if she gets that and types comments miscellaneously, it really not good for you.

I agree with Alex. You should tell you parent or your teacher. They can help you and don’t be sad about the message (Hai L)

I agree with Alex. You had better share with my parents and talk to them. Don't worry about it, it's not important for you. And, you shouldn't tell or give friends. This is personal and everyone has because we're friends does not mean we share the unnecessary for each other.(Phuong A)

you should

Alex is very good friend, I thing!

Alex is great!

I agree with and the best choice is to ask your parents or an adult this is the first massage The second one I think you shouldn’t tell or give her your passwords and Alex is right about this thing too.

I completely agreed with Alex. Racecar73 , dont be sad because of the mean message.

I also agree with you.

you should not give your password

Yes I agree with Alex imagine if you told your best friend your computer password and then it gets passed on to other people and then one day you get hacked

Dear Star44 , You do not have to share password to anyone except your parents or your carers. If your best friend do not agree, tell her about the feeling that you have.

I agree with Alex's advice. You should not talk to strangers in any way and if someone calls u bad u should not feel about it. You should not share your passwords because people can take you secret things and miss use it.

yes, i agree and you shouldn't answer strange people good Alex
