He was my drug, he distracts me from my problems, he makes me happier and for a while I loved it. Until I didn't. * * * The internet is a wonderful yet terrifying place, meeting people from around the world and making friends, and even building an audience for youself. Joanna Ross is a simple 17 year old girl, naive but cautious and yet she still doesn't know what to do with her life. Her family had her plans thought out but the stress of it all burdens her which caused her to be closed off from others even more. One message from a guy she doesn't know and she's hooked, his humor, his cuteness and the way he viewed things made her intrigued. Weeks later they finally decided to meet, unfortunately it didn't sit well with Joanna. Was it worth it, meeting this boy who seemed nothing like the Thomas she spent her nights on? What else could this man be hiding? Who is he really? Also, how was he able to find out where she lived? - - - - - - This story is under the #MakeItSafePh writing contest which talks about the different dangers we could be exposed to everyday on social media online and different safety tips on how to steer clear of these dangers in order to be able to enjoy the different possibilites the internet offers us.

Esta historia es basada en hechos reales, alguna vez se han preguntado si las REDES SOCIALES son realmente seguras o si las personas de esas paginas son reales, quizás habrán omitido esa parte por conocer gente o tener la atención del publico y lo entiendo perfectamente yo también soy adolescente y como adolescente requiero de atención pero ¿Requiero de atención buena o mala? ¿Necesito amigos reales o falsos?.
