What is Catfishing?

If you think you need a boat and a fishing pole for this you're completely wrong and I strongly suggest you read this entire post. A Catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they’re not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances. Some people don’t do this for romance, instead they do this to hurt someone else.

Why This Shouldn’t Be Done

This is not something that is funny in any way, shape, or form. Catfishing can lead to someone committing suicide and someone being kidnapped because they don’t know who they are actually talking to. Catfishing is a serious matter because it can be used to bully other kids and can be used by sexual predators. Many don’t have the intention of bullying someone to the point where they commit suicide, but how would you be able to live with yourself if you were the reason that someone took their own life?

Be Careful Or You Can End Up On The Hook

Also you have to be careful if you are talking to someone you don’t know. This is a serious problem of social media just because you don’t know who is on the other side of the screen. You have to be smart and use caution when talking to someone you just met online.Make sure to never meet with someone you just met on social media if they want to see you in person. Try to stay away from talking to people you don’t know because something serious could end up happening to you. Make sure you don’t get pulled in by the bate and end up like the catfish on the hook!
