I dont know
Hey, I have this friend and well shes obsessed with Ireland. And she also looks Irish, which adds to the obsession. Well she met this guy on an irish-penpal thing and they email and write to eachother. I read one of his letters and he calls her like "Princes Jenny" and all that good stuff. Well, shes going to Ireland and its not just because of the guy. Shes always wanted to go but shes gonna meet him there. Shes 16, hes 21..and I'm kinda worried..I joke around saying "If you get raped, I'll kill you" But I really dont think meeting this guy is a good idea. Should I tell her something or is it not my buisness? Thanks~

I would let her know the consequences she could face. Let her know that you really care about her and don't want her to get hurt physically and/or emotionally. But you can't force her to do anything, so don't try to. She may be a little defensive, but don't get defensive too. Give her a hug and tell her to be careful. The rest is up to her :)

Well, if she's hell bent on meeting him, at least convince her to meet him in a safe, well lit, open place with lots of people. At least you'll have done your part.

well you could tell her how you feel, she may not listen but you can say you tried. if she doesnt listen to you then let her go. After that, what happens is really none of your business. unless she volunteers her information to you then its nothing for you to know about or worry about.

DEFINATELY say something to her! Meeting people like that is bad...and she should really think about it. Perosnally, I would really NEVER let myself or one of my friends meet up with someone I met online, even in a public place its dangerous if they have a gun or something. As her friend it is your buisness and my aunt was all into that meeting people online and online dating and stuff (*she married one of them)..and once u meet someone once...you want to meet someone else, and then someone else. The fear of them killing you or raping you goes away with every time you meet someone safe. Remind her of the long-term effect. I know this sounds dumb but its the truth!! also, if she wants to meet irish guys (*even just as friends)...shes going to Ireland, soooo there are plenty there to meet...she doesn't need to risk it!! Talk to her and don't stop warning her untill she takes you seriously
=) HoPe I HeLpEd!

No definitely say something and tell her how you feel. Meeting someone that you meet online is a very dangerous thing. They could be an unknown indentity, and someone completely different from who they say they are. There is a huge risk of your friend getting into trouble or a huge risk of being abducted, raped, etc. Not to make you feel scared. But please do tell her how you feel...your her friend and only looking out for her. And plus it is illegal for her to be 16 and him "21". You never know with online people, or predators for that matter. Hope I helped. :-] Hit my inbox up if you got more questions.
