In 2 facebook groups, there are pictures of me. Nothing bad, just some random pictures. Is it dangerous to keep those pictures on the groups?
Thanks

Just make sure that none of the following is included:
Name
Age
Location
Sports Teams you may play on
School you may go to
Make sure that no information in any scenario (probable or not) would lead to someone finding you.
If you're really worried about it though, just ask whomever put them up to delete them (unless you're able to yourself).
As long as you don't hand out personal information, you should be okay. But always remember, if anything ever seems strange to you (or if anyone...) stop what you're doing/who you're talking about. If you ever feel threatened by anyone over the internet, go straight to a trusted adult. If they think it's bad enough they can contact the proper authorities.
Always be careful on the internet. Someone may say they're your age, but they could be some 40 year old guy wanting nothing but sex. It's not always the case, but you can never be too careful when it comes to online predators. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]

Over all though - I don't think its a big deal, and its pretty harmless, just be careful what groups you put your pictures in!
