Discuss matters more explicitly; it would be much easier for you to explain it over to the individual by writing it down to the person. If you write down your 'standard', then it is easier to be followed by other people, without any hearing difficuities.

If you tell me that you are using online-chatting with your friends or relatives,that l will immediately ask:why you not use your handphone to directly communicate with your friends?In contrast with online-chatting,using phone to communicate seems that it saves a lot of time.Then you may still debate and ask'But using phones to call need to spend money.'Well,what is more important,your time or your little money that pays on calling?

Over the past years where the internet has been very prevalent in the lives of many people, there has been hackers that use spyware or viruses on innocent people just for the fun of it. They require nothing more than a programming language and your IP address, which is possible to obtain from online chatting. Furthermore, antiviruses have little chance of detecting the viruses before it is too late, which may cause severe problems to your computer and your wallet.

I think that online chatting is harmful and dangerous as there are many strangers you don't know.Scams,lottery winning prize,would occur during online chats.If not careful,we may even be the victims of depositing our money into the scam bank account.Your information may be hacked and you may be in danger.

I disagree.The bad thing about online chat is that users tend to behave badly and go on to say things that they normally would not say in person.This is because with online chat, users are technically hiding behind computer screens.Thus,I feel that online chatting is dangerous.

I am in support in chatting online as long as it is done safely, no scams, no advertisements. This is because we can discuss matters more explicitly, so it would be much easier for you to explain it over to the individual by writing it down to the person. If you write down your 'standard', then it is easier to be followed by other people, without any hearing difficuities. NOT LIKE SOMEONE WHO THINKS ONLINE CHATTING CAN SPOIL YOUR EYES -.-

I feel that the pros of online chatting outweighs the cons of it, the reason being the fact that you can talk to friends,colleagues or work partners about work and other related subjects or about how you feel and other such things. Online chatting also allows you to make friends that have a common interests and/or has a great personality, but online chatting can be harmful as there maybe a very large and bad variety of people that would take advantage of you and scam you. There is also pedophiles who take advantage of gullible teenagers or younger children to take advantage of them sexually.

I disagree.Of course,there is both positive and negative things about online chatting.To me,i feel that the negative things is more than the positive things.Scams happen easily through online chatting,you may think that you are chatting with another teenager but they may turn out to be a pedofile.Kids may also receive age restricted videos or picture from people they dont even know.However,there are a few positive stuffs about online chatting too.For example,it help us communicate easier to our relative/friends who stays at other country without spending hefty sums of cash.

I disagree that online chatting is beneficial. In an online chatting group, netizens there are all anonymus. You may or may not know them well, and do not know what their true identity is or intentions of chatting to you online. Some strangers on the internet may find out more on your background information through your profile and then trick you to go out with him/her and you may not know whether he is a good or bad guy and what he will do to you. Online chatting can also bring you some emotional harm as cyberbullies are always around on the internet.

I disagree that online chatting is beneficial. If one is on an online platform to chat, there are many risks involved. Some as such are cyberbullying, viruses, intentionally asking for your personal infomation and scamming. This have happened before to people and one would not want to be a victim. I feel that one could engage in other activities which are beneficial instead of placing yourself in a risk.
