Are chain letters real?!
12 and F
So I was on YouTube and saw a comment. I only read a little cuz I knew it was one. I read: "I'm an 18 y/o egyptian boy" then stopped and came here because I'm really scared. I don't know what the "consequence" is, but do you believe those are real? I'm scared!!

None of those pieces of lying trollish rubbish is true. every one of those chain letters is false, through and through. there are no consequences. Some anonymous coward just thought it would be cool to make it up and scare people like you into spamming the net with their junk. for more on chain letters - [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) has all you want to know and more, including chain-smashing, which should show you how to stop being scared of this ridiculous nonsense.

No. Chain letters are not real.
A stupid, mean person's comments online can't hurt you, any more than your computer monitor and keyboard could suddleny spring to life and slap you, or a monster in a book could suddenly jump out of the pages. Chain letter emails are not living beings and they are not magic. They cannot track you down and they can't physically do any more harm to anyone than any other email or comment you, or anyone else, can write.
The best thing you can do when you see one is ignore it. Like all forms of bullying, ignoring it is the best first step to stopping people from sharing it. If someone you know sends you one, you should tell them how rude it is to foward these made-up and upsetting stories.
If a chain letter is still upsetting you (even if after you remind yourself that it can't possibly hurt you) then talk to someone about it. Sometimes we just need another person to remind us that nope, that kind of thing is pure fiction.

Not they are not real. Not even a little bit. Nothing to worry about. At all.
