How To Know When Someone Scams

Post Written By Aishu

Scamming is very popular among many platforms, such as Roblox, YouTube videos, and just all over online. But, what is scamming? It's when someone tries to trick you into doing something. In a game that some of my friends play called "Adopt Me," you can collect pets and trade them as well. Sometimes, people get jealous and want your pets, but they don't have anything to offer for it, so they might try scamming you. They could say, "Let's trust trade" or "I'll send you some REAL GOLD if you give me your pet!" Both of these are total scams. Trust trading is when you give someone your pet for free and they get to use it for a couple of seconds and they give it right back afterward. But, lots of people will get the pets, pretend to play with the pet, then leave the game. That's stealing. Another thing is the person trying to send you stuff out of the game. If they say something about sending you real gold, money, etc., DON'T TRUST THEM! They don't know where you live, or what state you live in. And make sure to not tell them. This could happen in real life as well. They could say, "Giving a magical lollipop that grants all your wishes! Only $10!" But really, it's a scam. Lots of kids could believe this, and buy it, but then they realize it's fake. People are getting smarter and trying to scam more. Don't trust those kinds of people. Only if you know that something is real, don't trust it. Such as if you see an ad about winning a 1 million dollar car, just by buying a $10 sandwich, it probably has a large percentage of being fake. Have you ever gotten scammed before? If so, what did you do in that situation? Thanks for reading today. Keep being kind to one another!

    Have you ever bragged? Chances are, you have. You've also probably heard someone else brag. Bragging isn't good, but it isn't a bad thing either. It's not exactly mean, or rude, and it's not teasing. But sometimes it's hurtful and can get annoying fast. Read on for more about bragging and what to do if you know someone who does this a lot. When I was writing this post, I felt like I was contradicting a lot of the stuff I said, then contradicting the contradicts. So this post might not make a lot of sense, but here's the main point: Bragging is okay, as long as it's not hurtful bragging or if it's hurting people feelings when done purposely.      What Are Examples Of Bragging? An example of bragging might be if someone says something like, "You got to have tacos for dinner last night? Well, I got to have ice cream." When people are bragging, they tend to try to make themselves look better. "My family has two cars but yours only has

Stopping People From Bullying You In School

Post Written By Aishu
Bullying is a common thing that happens mainly in schools. You might have been bullied before, or you might have seen someone else get bullied. Either way today, I'm gonna be telling you how to avoid and stop bullying! 1. Tell a teacher or counselor Telling an adult is the best thing to do. They can sort it out and help with the problem. But telling an adult right away shouldn't be your only choice. But, it  is  a choice. Counselors are especially the people to help with these kinds of problems. They can make you feel better, and help the bully not be so mean. 2. Defend yourself Defending yourself at the time could make the bully back away or just stop. Things you could say could be "Your insults don't hurt me" or "Whatever your saying means nothing to me" or "Saying this is really rude and you should stop. How would you feel if I said that to you?" Don't try being rude to the other person. That can make you another bully as well. Try conta
