  1. I guess it really depends, a lot of people post their pictures online, but picture posting, or any kind of posting online that has your personal information in it may have some sort of risk.

    -**Well for some "dangerous" points, people can save your picture in their computer and maybe photoshop it (for example put your head onto another person's body).  Sometimes, they may take your picture and pretend to be you (yes, this can be very creepy).   Also, sometimes you may be harassed, depending on your age, and there can be pedophiles out there, so make sure if you actually post something, that your picture doesn't have anything in it that may lead to anyone thinking perverted.  

    -**Since technology is quickly advancing, people can track you online and gather info about you.  This does not only happen online, but there are many people out there that got their info stolen from their cellphones and were stalked and harassed.

    Visit this site, http://chandkaur.sulekha.com/blog/post/2... shows some pictures.  Someone took this kid's pictures and photoshoped him into Shrek and stuff like that, so you get an idea.

    Well hope I helped.  Be safe, and be cautious of what you put out there for everyone to see.  =D


  2. You should guard your personal information, including your photo.  Just remember that anything you post online is available to anyone, anywhere with internet access.

  3. you can find out a lot bout you just by a pic plus they can make fun of you or edit the image into something its not. into something really really bad

  4. Besides what Lily and Daniel have said your picture can be traced back to where you live, town you live in and school you go to. Try it right click your picture and click on properties, it says where the picture originated.

  5. It is dangerous, because there are a lot of sick people out there. Like sexual predators. Someone could take your picture and do something to it. You can also get your identity stolen by putting a picture of yourself on the Internet. You should always stick with the cartoon figures and all.

  6. cuz anybody can copy and use it for whatever purposes

  7. it's dangerous because anyone can copy your picture, and edit or photoshop the picture.. someone might do nasty things to you picture..
