You can be whoever you want to be in a chat room - that's half the fun! You chat away to loads of different people - perhaps even make a few friends on the way. But what if one of them is lying? What if the person you think is a friend isn't a friend at all?
All you need to know about chat room chatting is right here. Just click on the links in the 'Safe Surfing' section and take a look.
This site also has lots of information about your welfare that you might find interesting. If you have a question that isn't answered on this site, have a look in the 'useful links' section or let us know!
If you need to talk to someone in confidence, you can call Childline on 0800 1111 free at any time.
