Your friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks
away. Life has changed for millions of teenagers across the world who now make friends online.
Whether you use chat rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are part of a virtual community.
"I rarely talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ," said Fox's
Shadow, the online nickname used by a Senior 2 girl in China. "Eighty percent of my classmates use QQ
after school. "
QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record shows 4 million people used it one Saturday
night in October, according to Tencent ( 腾讯公司), the company which developed QQ.
And Fox's Shadow might well have been one of them. "I log in on Friday nights, and Saturdays or
Sundays when I feel bored. I usually spend about 10 hours chatting online every week," she said. "But I
rarely talk with strangers, especially boys or men. "
Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. "You don't
know who you're talking to. You should always be careful about who you trust online. "
